This song has lived rent free in my head since wwe 2k23 came out

[@death2hannah]

LITERALLY

[@jpeart]

same

[@melu1987]

It sounds like an old 80s rock song

[@madhurchathley3863]

Genuinely same

[@SheriffOutlaw]

Likewise! ❤😂

[@19leon73]

Not a single thing has ever been mended By you standing there and saying you're offended I love that

[@adamrivera1873]

Me too

[@romilrh]

IDLES is the very embodiment of chaotic good

[@1Cyberix]

Enough energy to support a small village electrical use for a week. Thank you IDLES.

[@spiritualconnection4807]

This drum groove is surely among the coolest I've ever heard!

[@benjaminmcfarlane3807]

that guy is creative

[@Dvdfco]

Jon Beavis is a great drummer

[@woofsworld9353]

Beavis is a monster on drums but I swear sometimes it looks like he's just hanging on to those sticks for dear life as they magically crash around the kit on their own.

[@mariocipollini1998]

Thanks for putting this into words!

[@greatheightsu]

This band just oozes stage charisma.

[@brendafitzgerald3797]

They also ooze brilliance

[@nimusworks5475]

This song is pure and RAW

[@daveclarke9639]

This is the best song I have heard in a long time

[@swim_ad]

That's the sound of strength in numbers

[@swim_ad]

[@maddenplyr12]

numbaaaaaaas

[@MegaDknox]

Excellent band. The drummer is a beast.

[@HomieDawgLeka]

after inital letdown due to joy being an instant classic, ultra mono is seriously growing on me

[@lucasmceuen5287]

Funny! I had the opposite. Wasn't a huge fan of Joy until after several listens, but loved Ultra instantly!

[@cjcaves4290]

yes thank you for putting this into words

[@bhughes8301]

Same. Starting to love this album.

[@vicenteml2639]

same same same

[@JoePrasit]

ultra mono is their best album m8

[@matthewjames206]

This is one of my favorite drum parts in recent memory.

[@Koshirozation]

this one was really really good, didn't like the whole album that much but hearing (and also seeing) it live like this, makes me appreciate and feel the energy of "war" and "model village"

[@jakewoodburn9461]

Probably tough to follow Joy as an Act of Resistance. That album was like a 9.5/10 for me

[@davidslavictoire5374]

I play this song at least five times a day. Beautiful.

[@paulelemental2489]

Soundtrack to the revolution

[@benjaminmcfarlane3807]

this is just incredible

[@jimmyfarrow6486]

Good God, that song is awesome. This BAND is awesome.

[@chrisobrien1604]

“I’ll say what I mean, do what I love, and f-king send it!”

[@JPGellabroke]

Hey man I raise my black fist and say pink is beautiful I love this song

[@llewodcm20]

Pretty sick. God bless originality.

[@jamesfoster4106]

Always love Lee's energy!

[@Jack-xj4jj]

This song inspired me to become a rep in my union. I’m now the vice chair and tapped to be the chairman after the current chair steps down. Bargaining meeting tomorrow morning. Let’s fucking go.

[@tombalabombification]

Love this song!!!

[@Spirit.Wanderer]

Why am I so obsessed with Lee’s rockin and groovin!?

[@gustavomauricio4185]

Ultra mono ♡ Nunca sentí tal energía de mierdaen un solo álbum

[@jessem6254]

Thank you wwe2k23 playlist

[@jeffcoburn6350]

What did I just (for me) discover?! ROCK ON!

[@RataStuey]

I love this band

[@WoodLegPS]

This is fire !

[@HanzsKlopek]

Really hope to see you guys live one day ..

[@mateoluppi7913]

te quiero, idles

[@mrcee6280]

Idles totally rule !

[@telephonic]

The Drummer is brilliant.

[@brendafitzgerald3797]

Totally agree. I know nothing about drumming other than what I think sounds mediocre or brilliant. IDLES drummer is phenomenal. When you listen /watch him you see how talented he really is. All of these guys are. Hoping to one day see them live here in NZ

[@telephonic]

@@brendafitzgerald3797 You should check out Danny Carey performing Pneuma, it's the best drumming video on KZbin, utter genius. it has almost 9 million views already, the 2nd half of the video is spellbinding.

[@matthewjames206]

He's quickly becoming one of my favorites. And I would suggest checking out anything Danny Carey.

[@jarrodjensen1605]

This is what real rock'n rollers look like!

[@Kaleil]

Such an un-IDLES thing to say :D

[@swim_ad]

Rock n roll is dead.

[@dominiks.5329]

SWIM A.D. Not until I am alive

[@hiccoughs849]

IDLES RULEEEE

[@swim_ad]

You will not catch me starin at the sun

[@GrantZPrice]

[@splattermansion]

Oh my!

[@Hendrixxx9427]

“I’ll raise my pink fist and scream black is beautiful!” 🔥🔥🔥

[@seeurp]

WWE 2K23 brought me here. Fantastic song tbh

[@chrisobrien1604]

[@cadillacbluez]

Tiny Tim is killin it!

[@arcrs40]

[@floyd4311]

[@Panofobia]

[@joshuaeg5629]

"Can you hear tha FFUUNDAAH"

[@philusschwiftikus]

Beavis always looks like he just picked up Drumsticks and is mechanically living from beat to beat

[@VaxKuAra]

All this time I thought he said “ do you hear that farmmm dogggg!! “ JESUS!

[@Vixxxen07]

I always get some strong Mclusky vibes from these guys.

[@shawntripp4591]

Love Mclusky! That's kind of how I found IDLES. Found a podcast episode with Falco and Yow, which was amazing to me, and IDLES came up in their chat.

[@ltaaa2]

Fucking send it!

[@chrisefc3579]

Jesus wept, fuckin' incredible.

[@fka.climate]

Vital.

[@kpsa7108]

New fan. Fucking great song

[@andyfineran552]

FUCKIN SEND IT!

[@azilkishi6607]

punk not dead

[@jamesfoster4106]

Love the sound, but let's recognize the great lyrics

[@Mongchee496]

They should collaborate with Tom Morello

[@christophereskridge1]

WWE2K23 brought me here

[@irateamatsu]

[@redxavier8770]

#WatchDogsLegion

[@ravifan1]

An acrylic guitar with an aluminum neck. I've now seen it all.

[@MichaelJoshuaWilliams]

They’ve been around since the early 70s….

[@redxavier8770]

#WDL

[@oniongummy8969]

I love and hate these guys just the same

[@kennethguitarfiend4493]

Hate? Seriously? That is a strong word.

[@lucasnaotemnome2448]

[@oniongummy8969]

Kenneth Guitar Fiend better than indifference

[@kennethguitarfiend4493]

Heavy Disc that’s the cliche , aye...

[@DanielCoady]

YES! Three bands I love so no surprise these guys are growing on me!

[@simonesciacca7222]

0

[@ObviousTroll]

Funder...still a good song tho

[@Ripley_From_Aliens]

Bad ass song but someone I see is trying a little too hard to show off for the camera

[@RataStuey]

He seems very very enthusiastic to be there

[@laroidX]

The song is great but the lyrics are definitely lacking

[@Gamamus]

You will not catch me.... at one of their concerts because this song is awful.

[@pbbolton]

Is this just a worse version of Processed by the Boys?

[@fakenamerodriguez8901]

This is terrible.

[@leonaquilla2547]

They sound terrible. So -- very punk.
