Members atrox Posted May 4, 2012 Members Share Posted May 4, 2012 I've never checked them out. I saw a performance of theirs on the Grammys a couple years ago and I thought they sounded absolutely atrocious, so I wrote them off. I'll have to check out some of their recorded albums. That Grammy's performance was terrible... and i love AF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, it's one of those things that since that was the first thing I heard and was just repulsed by it, I immediately wrote them off. I'll check them out!

Plus they had the bikes and {censored} jumping around during the performance. And they were playing one of their worst songs IMO. I was a bit miffed. Glad they won Album of the year though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ron Burgandy Posted May 4, 2012 Members Share Posted May 4, 2012 I'll check it out. I don't see how anyone with appreciation for music could hate this band. They're really impressive musicians. Been sayin this for years, man. Great band. Only the bro crowd is scared of them... Mainly because Arcade Fire has girls in their crowd that didn't need a roofie colada from some roided out bro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah man, I show up in my Affliction T-shirt, bandana, and my veins are PUMPED from Juicing at the gym earlier in the day. Then I find a group of trim, lift up my shirt and rub my abs...When they are all gawking at me bro, I just drop some roofs into their drinks... Instant party after that bro.

Members iff Posted May 4, 2012 Members Share Posted May 4, 2012 Kind of iffy on them. Heard some stuff of theirs that was good and some that I hated...but I don't know which albums/songs I was listening to at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jesse G Posted May 4, 2012 Members Share Posted May 4, 2012 I listen to more metal than anything else, but I find it hard to listen to metal right after listening to Arcade Fire. They do so much with so little and are one of those bands that makes metal sound silly and like it's trying to hard and makes me feel like a goof for liking it.

Members Guvnor Posted May 4, 2012 Members Share Posted May 4, 2012 Funeral is a pretty awesome album.Neon Bible is good too, haven't really been able to get into what I've heard from the latest record.Hard to describe what they're doing musically... it's generally pretty simple stuff, just with a fairly big arrangement... anyways it grows on you. The set they did at Austin City Limits a couple years ago is as good an introduction as anything. This is pretty much my feeling as well. I really loved the first one; Neon Bible took a while for me to get into but now I would listen to it before Funeral. Suburbs didn't really grab me. I saw them in Asheville a few years ago. Really good live band. A band called The National opened up for them and they were terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members '63-Strat Posted May 4, 2012 Members Share Posted May 4, 2012 I like a bunch of their tunes but have seen lots of live videos where they sucked live. I think the singer is strong enough that they should get it down to like 5 people, tops. And I would WAY rather hang with an Arcade Fire-loving crowd than a shinedown/bro rawk/metal crowd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What don't you like about them? too many people, and the songs just meander, i guess. don't like the vocalist, too many instruments. it's like watching the e street band, and it doesn't resonate at all with me. they seem to take themselves ENTIRELY too seriously to boot. i dunno. gimme power trios and rock that {censored}. you don't need 12 people to make great music... i guess it's just too much {censored} goin on.
