Foals - The French Open (Live on KEXP)

[@MrFilipepreto]

Jack Bevan - Probably the best screaming drummer of all time!!

[@Thenorthsace]

Because he was messing up the fill so it was pissing him off

[@osvaldojons2724]

Hahhahahha

[@ourskatetv]

dat drummer damn

[@BrunoCisi]

Jack bevan, what a drummer...

[@PolochAngriff]

For real

[@XxxxxBUBSxxxxX]

i saw em in melbourne a few days ago, and they actually played this live for us! waiting 3 hours in the rain after the concert was worth it,i gave yiannis a pat on the back n sed "dude just gotta say,thank you for french open tonight!" he shakes his head and said, "it was fookin crazy, i havent been able to feel that song for a long time, i knew i had to break it out tonight!" love him!

[@aquariyums]

Love Foals, they're just as good in real life as in the studio, something very rare these days.

[@jasonedenilson]

Looking back, man these guys were geniuses.

[@ariorojas2901]

I really dont know what happened to them. Every album after WWD has been generic as fuck. They used to be known for the opposite. Most people I've talked to have said that that is what usually happens with bands getting so famous, they tend to water down. But I know deep that they still got it. I really hope we see a Foals comeback away from all the mainstream stuff they have been doing these past 8 years.

[@bactheusllo]

someone, give jack a mic...

[@howlingowl3254]

It's been 8 years and I still don't know why he was so heated @ 2:34

[@agentsmith4763]

the sound, you have to remember that it's edited in post-production and is completely different to what they were hearing

[@BrunoCisi]

Look at 1:27 he is pointing at the mic, I'm sure that was the problem.

[@PolochAngriff]

Have you figured it out after 10 years?

[@mattgarnett8954]

11 years?

[@gobarn1877]

apparently he had a cold

[@therealsoulproduct]

Great stuff! One of my new favorite bands!

[@cinefilo14]

Look how this channel has improved since then! Better quality videos, same high quality in music taste!

[@JosephSCB123]

This a funky intense song! Love Jack Bevan!

[@kexp]

i love the church!

[@zosterinski]

i absolutely love this video. thanks!

[@zosterinski]

brilliant. one of my favorite lives! thanks for it!

[@ajuz1987]

Wooooow, looks like real hard work! fantastic!!

[@lasfinisimas]

What a band! This is exciting music!

[@obican21]

man, i wish i had a drummer like jack...

[@carefulwiththataxea]

0:40 Starcraft 1, Terran's Academy scream.

[@kitonn90]

jack is a badass drummer

[@bigwille11]

Really really great guys 🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴

[@dunkmack]

the drummer is such a hero.

[@TheDAVEinnit]

1:00 ...first time i have ever seen yannis smile, evahhh

[@Pheebsterissoawesome]

Omg I love these guys that how I dance all the time ... I know where I belong:')

[@PolochAngriff]

They murdered that so hard that even the keyboardist was getting shots in. Daymmn

[@Faragnigskni]

1:36 onwards, Yannis does the 200m Butterfly!

[@pokatchu]

i love foals !!! frOmm france

[@TheProletarius]

they have own sound... much hopes for future and greek singer ...thats too rare...

[@hojun7273]

@thechronokills that snare sounds amazing to me

[@LemmyAttum]

@hojun7273 jack uses a variety of A avedis/a custom and the occasional K...but in this video and most of his live/studio performances he uses 14" Avedis New beat hihats with A Custom projection crashes 16" and 18"..he also seems to use the 21" Avedis a sweet ride too...but he constantly mixes it up..awesome cymbals for an awesome drummer!

[@RollForever88]

@hojun7273 , I know you asked a while ago, but he is using Avedis hi-hats, probably new beat and A custom crashes.

[@kamikazelombardo]

un peu d'air sur la terre d'air sur la terre! wasted games! love it!

[@Kav365]

At 0:59 you can hear Jack screaming then Walter and Yannis look at him and laugh xD i love Foals!

[@kentneumann5209]

I don't know why I ever thought I wasn't a good enough keyboard player to be in a band. All of the groups in this lineup... Its mostly single notes and simple chording. Kicking self.

[@pennepasta1822]

never too late!

[@tonydalllas]

love to see you play any better

[@notronblanco]

At the start he's telling the engineer to turn his vocals down in his headphones.. prob can hear the other instruments propperly! Jack is a hero!! :L _(Y)

[@Juvakapitany]

this awesome song should be with Cassius in one song

[@hojun7273]

@RawImpactZz sweet! he was using a pair of Quick Beats at Glastonbury 2008, but yeah! awesome drummer! He was really nice when I got to meet him!

[@Rndyy]

hahah the drummer's screaming. fantastic

[@Thenorthsace]

Yeah am a bit late but to all the comments on jack's screaming... it's because he was messing up the tom fills because he's used to leading with his right hand but for that fill to be "perfect" you have to lead with your left to get down to the floor tom.

[@rezolution59]

is that cymbol a little bigger than usual ones?

[@SimonGillis]

this rocks so hard

[@LemmyAttum]

@hojun7273 yeahh dont forget, thats 3 years ago ;) but yeah when i met him at rock city he was chilled and great to talk too!

[@jenncollins3255]

This DRUMMER...dang!

[@pokatchu]

trop mignon l'accent français ! so sweet the French accent

[@Faragnigskni]

the drumming is actually done so digital,,, like in terms of digital and analogue

[@HenyxBaby]

I love Jack (L) He is so cool

[@ohsnipsnapsnizzle]

EAAAAHHHHHHHH AAAAAHHHHHEEEEAAAAHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[@hojun7273]

@gwilym94 yeah I know that, but I'm asking like what model ex.: Armand's, Quick Beat, New Beat, A Custom, Mastersound, projection crash, etc.

[@alogh]

@aquariyums they're better live. Saw them yesterday, before each song they would jam a bit. After miami they did a 5 minute jam which was amazing. Also before playing this song, jack did a drum solo which was unbelievable

[@Dardessia]

Does anybody have an explanation as to why Jack is screaming down the microphone??

[@Dardessia]

Dan Gimberg hahah I do actually think it's pretty funny, I was just genuinely curious because they've never done it in any of their other performances :')

[@centem2003]

coz he is a beat with immense talent! ;)

[@ariorojas2901]

I heard an unreleased version of The French Open in which in that exact part there's a scream exactly like that on the audio Mix. It was not the final mix or release version but I heard it through a leak on youtube a while ago. Maybe if you look for it youll find it! maybe it was on Dave Sitek's version (remember foals remixed their whole album).

[@confectionary978]

wtf jackkkkkk

[@packhorsetriumph5319]

The dude has got a great scream

[@playswithpassion]

@bl00mberry around 1:00 when the camera goes from Jack to Yannis you see him crack a little smile at him.

[@fubuky13]

Que loco ✅

[@LeoAguirreInc]

What type of snare is the drummer using does anyone know?

[@13ours]

ALRIGHT!

[@AlanBadaueba]

is this some kind of math rock?

[@gobarn1877]

hell yeah it is

[@hojun7273]

is Jack using Zildjian A Series cymbals or K series?

[@lukasage8487]

A

[@parentalbox]

Bevan is a king

[@petmay13]

which headphones?

[@aquariyums]

@alogh Well, yeah. If their music is just as good wile they're playing (the songs only), being at a concert would be way better because you get to hear sweet drum solos and guitar solos and whatnot. I want them to come to Dallas or somewhere in north Texas, I'll drive the 3 hours to go.

[@lgfuad4lyf]

what kinda snare is that?

[@giuseppeorellana2172]

que bestia la teba.

[@spacegalaga7678]

Jack Bevan is a fucking beast 🥰

[@retroremo]

Yannis cheeky smile at jack 1:00 - 1:04

[@ariorojas2901]

I really dont know what happened to them. Every album after WWD has been generic as fuck. They used to be known for the opposite. Most people I've talked to have said that that is what usually happens with bands getting so famous, they tend to water down. But I know deep that they still got it.

[@lolh4x]

Yannis and Jack are excellent front men. Such cool bastards

[@yorenfromabove]

Wooden rim snares are the best.

[@fpp4life23]

[@lolh4x]

[@tamz0123]

[@hojun7273]

@rocknrollman123 ahh this is confusing.... I'm so stupid, why didn't I ask him when I got to meet him

[@supermanJOEL2]

[@OneHorsemenOf]

Why is Jack screaming

[@retroremo]

A bit of air on the earth Air on Air on Air on the earth the lyrics air from a lacoste adevert. .'the french open' is about andy roddick and how he never seems to win anything although he has the fastest serve in the world. 'wasted Games'

[@clunkychina]

Ha...Yeah I think his mic is too hot in the mix or something

[@imhowardmoonsir]

@Ofmikesandmen The tuner would be hooked up to edwins Korg MS-10 becuase its an analog synth and they go out of tune really easily

[@JokerUnkown]

to bad jack doesn t have a mic

[@AleksandraHrib]

4 dislikes? you people are crazy.

[@jackyirishboy]
