IDLES - War (6 Music Live Session in the Radio Theatre)

IDLES performed a special live session for Steve Lamacq on BBC Radio 6 Music. They performed tracks from their brand new number 1 album Ultra Mono.
Listen to the full session on interview on BBC Sounds: www.bbc.co.uk/...

For me, at least 50 per cent of Idles is their AMAZING DRUMMER! Jon Beavis is just mind-blowing and it's even more obvious when you see them live. This guy deserves all the respect he can get from all of us ! Hats off!

[@r7coo]

He is like a metronome, a fabulous drummer .

[@splendid230367]

And he looks like an accountant

[@frizzybob]

@@splendid230367 he is indeed an accountant

[@patrickfitzgerald409]

Can't argue with that, an immense drum sound. Those fills are mega!

[@MrNerdyBrit]

Yeah, Joe even says that he's the most technically skilled out of all of them.

[@fsj9441]

Such an immersive experience. At first I was like "is that really a sword singing the lead vocals?". Then i realized it's just a man doing a really good impression.

[@spacejazz6272]

i hear they sampled the sword impression in this song and used it in Game Of Thrones during the battle scenes

When live music returns. IDLES and ultra mono will arise and wipe all the pain of the year away x

When live music returns another record from IDLES will be out...

[@kavel22]

...in recent two decades

[@DylanAlexander93]

Them, viagra boys, the chats, and ty segall helped me realize not all good music is back in the 90s

@Lego Head I'm a big fan of King Gizzard, but personal preference for me has Idles as my number one!

That drum fill, you know the one i’m talking about, that drum fill nearly knocked me off my chair when i first heard it, it still stays with me for a couple days every time i hear this song now.

[@veeramage2930]

This song is never quite loud enough

[@evertdelarge4851]

what a nice drum fill 1:27

[@jorgecalderon4234]

Totally on point, excellent execution and also coherent with the song's theme simulating a machine gun firing

[@sethmoore8484]

Reminds of Brann Dailor

Answer: because genres are, purely, concocted by the media - just to make it easier to write about bands / artists etc. It all became really messy during the, so - called grunge era. Never were so many unsimilar bands chucked into one pigeon hole. You could also say the same for 'Brit Pop'. Basically, do away with genres, just like the shit you like.

Why do they put more into this than they did the Abbey Road sessions?? I've bein fkin ripped off
