Understanding IDLES: LOSS into LOVE

[@MusicMongoose]

Did you know IDLES inspired the brilliant Wet Leg to start a band? Check out my new video, 'Understanding WET LEG: ROCK but FUN' kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5bRZH98bNKjrZo

after seeing them live i sent joe a message about my soberity and another problem i was having, the next day i woke up to one of the nicest messages ive ever received. the message ended with "If you relapse or take two steps back, breathe and enjoy the fact you can still move forward with love. Always love" ill never forget this, I said thank you so much and he replied "Thank you"

[@MusicMongoose]

That’s awesome 😍

Love is the fing ❤

I found them supporting Dead Kennedys in the time between Meat and Brutalism. I went to a bunch of their shows, got to know the guys, Joe especially. Joe is one of the kindest, loveliest guys you'll ever meet, as are the rest of the band. They're incredible, in the studio and live, and probably one of the most important bands of the last twenty years.

I have always loved this line. "If someone talked to you the way you talk to you, I'd pull their teeth through, love yourself," I repeat to myself when I lose that love, I even considered getting it as a tattoo, or at least a section of it. To me, idles Is absolute Acceptance, tolerance, and love. Love all people, but hate bigotry and oppressive violence. Be that against women, queer people, people of color, or against our mothers. This is also why I often find pits poetic. I love you, you love me, and we are going to kick, push, and hit each other to express it, and as soon as you fall, I will let out my hand for you to get right back to that loving violence.

[@MusicMongoose]

So well summarised! This is IDLES to a tee ❤️ p.s. I vote yes on tattoo!

[@jayburkhart1781]

i'm 56 years old, i think, and i just got turned onto them last year in honestly the strangest way. they were on the tonight show w/ jimmy fallon. blew me away. their videos are on a completely different level that i just can not comprehend. just the sheer beauty. the long video of them playing a wedding...........DOPE AF

[@prettyaverage97]

Been listening to them since 2020 and I swear, the only other band that has ever spoken to me so closely and deeply might be Nirvana. With IDLES I feel not only that I am a part of a community, and that I must spread love and joy for the people I love, but also that I can do something to make things a bit better. I love them.

[@MusicMongoose]

That’s awesome ❤️

[@jacksonlong8706]

i saw them in philly in june last year, and they really installed this feeling of joy inside of me, that i haven't felt in a long time. Idles helped me through a lot, and they are forever cemented as one of my favorite bands ever.

[@MusicMongoose]

That’s so awesome 😁

[@Prifly70]

I’m not a fan of punk or post-punk,but Idles has me hooked. A friend said they saw them live and it blew them away, and they’d never heard of them. So I opened my damned mind and gave a listen. Mind opened.

[@MusicMongoose]

Well done for taking the plunge! Welcome to the beautiful world of IDLES. Has it inspired you to seek out more punk/post-punk music? You might like my brand new video about the punk band SOFT PLAY: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHnWp6OFZ953eZI

[@1966Heath]

So glad to see this video. IDLES are easily my favorite new band of the last ten years or so.

[@MusicMongoose]

Great to hear! They’re brilliant.

[@LineDashLLC]

63YO IDLES stan here. They played to their largest North American audience to date last night here, in the best hometown in America, Austin, Texas. The resonance from that 2-hour set, in crushing heat and humidity, sent me down a glorious IDLES research bunny trail today.

[@4IndieForever]

I am 40 years old and needed a band like Idles in my life. Also, great video my man! Keep this up and you will grow ;) fast enough.

[@MusicMongoose]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@tylerbosworthdrums]

IDLES changed my life tbh, I discovered them after overhearing a conversation about them in a barber’s in 2019; I then watched their Glasto set from that year and the emotion of it and their whole ethos inspired me to the point I had the confidence to find myself and am now in a beautiful and committed same-sex relationship and would not change it for the world

[@TwistedLocker]

I discovered IDLES in around September last year, and I have not stopped listening to them. Booked to see them three time this year, the greatest band in the world. Great video mate and extremely informative!

[@MusicMongoose]

Long live IDLES! Glad you enjoyed. They are phenomenal live - enjoy! 🙌

[@biagabi]

Love that you shipped the album from Brazil. Huge fan of Idles and Brazilian 😘

[@melvinhoyk]

I just discovered IDLES from the new track Gift Horse and then Dancer and then and goes on. I'm hooked.

[@juanpanetta7061]

WOW. Great video. Knowledgeable, well edited, concise. That feeling you mentioned when in an Idles concert is so accurate. All the best 💪🏼

[@jorgecortinhal7654]

i'll watch them for the 3rd time in 3 years in the end of february 2024, all in Portugal. I love them!

[@andrei09639]

Greetings from Belarus! Which is kinda far from Bristol;) I was lucky to get to know IDLES through KZbin recommendations. Man, that was mindblowing! I felt emotionally that there must be some personal story behind their records. Now I know a bit more about the band's background, and there are some topics I can relate to. Which definitely results in the IDLES' songs hitting me even harder. Great band and very informative video. Cheers!

[@MusicMongoose]

❤️❤️

[@nevincaulfield]

Going to their Forest Hills show in NYC. I’ll see how they are live. Walkmen are opening 💪

[@johnladd8421]

Two summers ago my brother said “ have you seen IDLES on Tiny Desk Concert?” and then i watched. instantly hooked. all 3 of those songs are brilliant but when the chorus of PERM starts the “ concrete to leather “ chant….. i was blown away.

[@augustodeoliveirabraga4021]

IDLES is a great band, i hope they get to play in Brazil. excellent vid, by the way. got a new subscriber.

[@MusicMongoose]

Thanks! 😁

[@grassinicolas]

these guys are absolutely fascinating. and they absolutely trigger in me the emotions of my the first band i adored in my teen age years, early 90's, the red hot chili peppers: the energy, the attitude, the provocation, the instrumental virtuosity with the untraditional/unique power of the lead singer. this is was a nice introduction, thks.

[@MusicMongoose]

Great comparison!

[@EJB2274]

Been binging your videos, such good knowledge 👏

[@MusicMongoose]

Thanks so much!

[@minidisks]

incredibly surprised that you only have 1.7k subscribers!! Amazing editing and coverage!!

[@MusicMongoose]

Very kind of you to say, thank you 😁

[@JoulesOrozco]

When I discovered their music I remember I didn't like it. Gave a chance to a couple of songs but no. This year, something happened that rewired my whole system and I found myself rediscovering them. And now fortunately, loving them. I'm gonna watch them live for the first time in October, here in Mexico.

[@blindcriminal]

I just discovered your channel. Good stuff bro. Now I'm waiting for the video about METZ!

[@MusicMongoose]

Welcome aboard! I don't know much about METZ, I'll check them out! 😊

[@TimeBreakPictures]

Very well put together! I hope this gets many more views! I love Idles!

[@MusicMongoose]

Thanks! Much appreciated 😁

After hearing the singer's story, Sleaford Knobs petty attack on their alleged lack of credibility seems even more petty. In fact off the charts petty.

[@MusicMongoose]

Agreed 👍

[@a.champagne6238]

@@MusicMongoose I now hate Sleaford Knobs more than I did before. I'm guessing this was some half baked attempt to create a new Oasis vs. Blur. Seriously, F. those guys. #SleafordKnobs
