Soulwax - Much Against Everyone's Advice

Official music video for "Much Against Everyone's Advice", taken from the 1998 album of the same name by Soulwax, released on [PIAS] Recordings.

[@lastarena]

It's Feb 2021 and this music is still relevant to me. Just as fresh as 1998.

[@Croydondms]

Seconded. This and Too Many DJs still sound superb 20 years on.

[@Blackadder512]

Jup, blew me away when I was 15 in 1998, still does so today!

[@johnhicks8626]

Missed it first time around. Stellar.

[@knightinsourarmour]

Feb 2024 and I'm still here listening to this!

[@chadillak]

I once listened to this CD on repeat in my car for 2 years straight. True story.

[@DrumsTheWord]

Same here, dude. I've never got board of this album. A work of art, with a belter every two songs at least!

[@CynicalWalnut]

@@DrumsTheWord what album is that?

[@DrumsTheWord]

@@CynicalWalnut Much Against Everyone's Advice...check it out!

[@CynicalWalnut]

@@DrumsTheWord lol had no idea that was the name of the album too :p thanks I will, love this song already, known it for a long time!

[@DrTaunu]

As heard on radio soulwax 2 did that for me.

[@popochizzle]

the year is 2021. and this music video is still fitting

[@user-il6ju7lp9e]

I can't express how absolutely happy the build up to chorus makes me

[@nedster63]

Eveything about this says sharp. Sharp riffs. Sharp drums. Sharp bass. Lyrics. Humour. Subtlety. Suits. Trainers. It just goes on.....

[@pestesoidubutor8626]

This summarizes everything I loved and still love about 90's/early 00's "indie" rock, visually and sonically. There's nothing cooler than that.

[@ColorsBright]

Hi, I am grew up with a great radio station that played more pop/rock alt instead of the rap/rock stuff that was taking up the radio.. I remember bands like Taxi Ride, PapaVegas, Remy Zero, The Clarks, Ben Lee, Splender, Dexter Freebish.. might you remember any songs that were played around this time?

[@PrettyNormous]

@@ColorsBright Around this time Taxiride had the songs 'Get Set', 'Creeping Up Slowly' and 'So Much For The Afterglow'. Ben Lee's big song around this time was 'Cigarettes Will Kill You'. Those other bands never cracked it in my country (Australia) though so I couldn't tell you anything they released. Hope this helps.

[@jools182]

Wish they'd tour as a band again. Their live shows were amazing

[@jfpOne23]

Yeah totally under-rated band & song. Was so happy to find it after many years.

[@petermuscutt4292]

Seeing them this Sunday after wondering if I'd ever see them live!!! My friend saw them in 2000...been envious ever since!! Seeing the 'From Deewee' tour this weekend. Missed out on 2manydjs too!

[@kenjones6441]

Classic rock song. Pixies and Weezer combined, a match made in heaven

[@markedgar2615]

Don't forget Foofighters

[@rickmccain5316]

For me, it sounds like Foo Fighters and Death from Above 1979 have a baby

[@davell49]

Don't forget Incubus.

[@strangefishmusic]

great track,brill crunchy guitar sound and cracking snare sound

[@-TheRealThing-]

That chord progression on the chorus! 20 years later still listens to it 🤣

[@craigcurry8596]

What an incredible song!!!!

[@franktower6094]

One of the best videos and one of the best songs of the last three decades.

[@barrycorney3665]

Best band I stumbled upon in 2000 T in The Park in Scotland, they were mind blowingly good.... Morcheeba and Groove Armada rocked too. ...

[@lilmem07]

Awesome song, lyrics & video.

[@jamsee1]

Soulwax definitely got their daily exercise in throughout this video!

[@valerieguibert504]

I discovered this band 21 years ago, with the hit "Too many DJ's" from Much Against Everyone's Advice (1998). I was listening to the full album during my journey throught Egypt, Uk , New-Zealand and Australia. So obviously, this group has a deep impact in my life. And then, I discovered the album "Leave the story untold". Holy S.... what a blow, a blast. I love your music guys.

[@92housestyle]

Same here , loved em since i heard this tune on an old Carling advert where a wrecking ball crashes through a house back in 98, had to id the tune and bought album, been hooked ever since

[@jijst5]

This reminds me of Muse (who are big fans of Soulwax) and Triggerfinger :) I'm beginning to understand how influential this Belgian band has been! I'm proud :)

[@jijst5]

Radiohead, dEUS...

[@mtvlies]

+jijst5 muse would love 2 be that good. much against everyone's judgement muse don't have a song that soul-some posted by pawel Korsun/Warsaw/PL

[@jijst5]

mtvlies Yes, but Muse does that on purpose. They know their music can be over the top, but I think that's great! In the case of Queen, such bands can give new inspiration in times when many bands take themselves too seriously. I can't imagine Muse without the bombast. And that's how Muse should be, there al already too many bands that stay in their 'safety zone'..

[@arturo9531]

actually soulwax support and open to muse gigs

[@hfl_]

This song is literally in one of the bands picks if you look on their playlists

[@scottgall8383]

Not aged a second, classic tune!

[@geoffscott181]

suits and trainers have never looked so good together

[@srssll]

For me, it's one of the best songs in the world. So there

[@illiteratethug3305]

That's me told

[@MrChrisBarker]

@@illiteratethug3305 yeah, don't forget either.

[@trilingual]

This is (was) a great band! Wow!

[@Croydondms]

One of my favourite videos of all time.

[@bemorecheetah]

This is still the best song ever 🎉

[@davidyoung5640]

Soulwax: long time in the game

[@vanessaclarysse5897]

2023 now...still loving it!

[@MilkoOfficialChannel]

Timeless

[@vanessaclarysse5897]

2023 and still big fan of Soulwax 😍

[@oliverfrois8437]

Heard this tonight after buying the album about twenty years ago. Takes me back.

[@51stcenturygirl]

One of my favourite music videos. It's funny and clever. Also brilliant song.

[@DrGrafenberg]

2023 and still love it

[@daavpuke]

I forgot how amazing this video was. What a trip 🙏

[@CanyonWanderer]

Such a great track, listened it a 1000 times, not much kidding ...

[@florentcognet]

Great tune

[@jamiepugh7647]

Awesome!!

[@dambrooks7578]

Sadly lots of those back roads behind the Astoria were destroyed because of the Tory vanity project Cross Rail. Thank you Soulwax for catching it.

[@mambatabac]

Thumbs up if you think of WRC on the PS2 when you hear this!

[@WikiNicoBrz]

I was 15, and I remember being particularly proud to hear a Belgian band on such a good videogame

[@DrumsTheWord]

2023 for me...and this still busts my balls!

[@feargtown]

what a great song

[@funkstabrisbane]

Took me 23years to find this song again.. use to see it late night on rage Thanks Google find a song

[@thomHD]

One of the stand out singles of the year if not the decade, entirely underplayed

[@roelmartinvandervelde9407]

Don't know why i only came across this song last week. My loss is my gain.

[@stonerdemon]

Funny how they went from sounding like Foo Fighters to how they sound now. I first listened to this tune on a PS2 rally game and got hooked immediately.

[@claudeballs9363]

How the fuck is this not 2.5 million views????

[@mykelexner2331]

This is new music to me. I fucking love this song in 2021

Been looking for that since 2003! I always waited for a race to finish to listen to that song playing on the race replay!

[@TheAuralab]

💚

[@ojomythgimeht]

1:36 - Either I'm going crazy, or that's the street from Blur's Parklife video......

[@slatz486]

I just love playing this song on my guitar, the only problem is the song isn't long enough! Wish they wrote another verse or two 😞

[@barriniho]

Chrous sounds like it should be the intro music to a TV Show comedy.

[@michaelmackay4380]

nice

[@murara-youtube7382]

恰好良い曲だと思いました。

[@nickclee8089]

[@joeking6534]

HOLLYWEIRD

[@barriniho]

I wonder how many people saw this in London and thought WTF.

[@ezbozovago]

pure public pop

[@hydropear3270]

I feel the video was parady of Britpop.

[@denisdonn]

Parklife?

[@Malkmusianful]

If you mean "making fun of that whimsical staging you find a lot in Britpop videos," then yeah, Soulwax did a pretty good job

[@JonathanGoslan]

Astoria was nice.

[@eliasothman8440]

So soulwax became a electronic producer later in these years?

[@willybumbum507]

Elias Othman they were always producers the dewaele brothers as 2manydjs

[@jandeschoenmaker8032]

2018 2019 2020 ...2070

[@turtlehare]

Made in Belgium. No money to make a decent video in the MTV era. So they hired students and youth club members to figure.

[@Gliese380]

Soulwax are Belgian but it was filmed in the UK, though.

[@barryrowlings83]

Yea the ending is trafalgar square

Great song --- terrible video, with naff ideas. Surprising really.

[@JubbLaRacing]
