Biffy Clyro

[a-chan]

Did you see this already?

Found it last night... http://frenchieoohlala.blogspot.com/2010/07/today-we-had-our-first-customer-in-shop.html

AHhhh that's the tatoo guy he was telling Jo Whiley about when he explained his tatoos :blush: the new Da Vinci ones are gorgeous!

 

The second pic is adorable, his "kind, smiling eyes" are so outstanding!

+10000000000

I've added Simon (and co) on my 'care bear rockers' list :D

 

Have you seen the video for "The Captain" yet?

 

Seriously Anna, do you really think I hadn't see THAT one :rolleyes: :sneaky: (Pirate's Orlando Bloom looks like an endive near Simon :laugh3: ) And I think I tweeted it a few days ago... :thinking:

 

But I found vintage Biffy... (they look so young!)

Oh, there's a thread in the Biffy forum where they are sharing radio session recordings (more acoutic stuff! :dead:), when I find working links I'll share them here... haven't fond time yet to look through it properly.

:awesome: please DO!!! :kiss:

[SueDeNimes]

:lol: at the comparison to Will Turner!

 

Sorry hun, I can't always check Twitter. :uhoh:

 

Will do! :kiss:

Might even create a thread for them in Non-CP-MM, they deserve it! :sneaky:

[a-chan]

:l

Simon says: yeah we do!

 

:D

 

--edit-------

 

@Anna: did you see he's got a new tatoo under the gun (lyrics or a poem?) and it's in GERMAN :stunned:

 

 

 

[squareonefivesix]

^Good Lord, I'm surprised he's got any room left for more tattoos :stunned:

[SueDeNimes]

@ your edit: no I didn't! :stunned:

I'm not a big fan of tattoos so didn't really look at them.

Now I'm curious what it says tho :lol:

And here's another nice version of Folding Stars:

Now he will have to tatoo the PG rated section.... :lol:

Depends on how it's done... I love tribals ones or the japanese ones (you know like the ones Yakuzas have and that look like almost like a 'clothe'...). But I'm way to afraid of needles to do one... I'd love a quote on my ankle but I'm such a wuss :facepalm:

This accent :wacky: I love the fakely shock 'we're not as important as Green day?!' :laugh3: But this ITV reminded me how perfect Simon used to look like... :drunk: and now it's all :facepalm:

 

And here's another nice version of Folding Stars:

 

Beautiful :cry: I red somewhere though that they weren't playing it anymore cause it was too painful for Simon... :thinking: (btw, I've noticed thx to Anna's link that he's got 'Elenore' tatooted under his belly button... :bigcry: ) Puzzle is so full of her...

 

I've got days off for the 11th november, so I'm gonna catch up with their earlier stuff! *resolution mode on*

[SueDeNimes]

OMG, listen to this!

:heart:

 

EDIT:

 

Click click click!

[a-chan]

OMG, listen to this!

 

 

:heart:

This version brought tears in my eyes....Simon's voice is cracking up at one moment it's heartbreaking.... :cry: And it's Ben singing on the second chorus right?? He has a lovely voice, he should do solos more...!

 

I have tried to resist the pain

but now I'm all alone

 

:hug:

 

 

--edit to your edit----------

 

YEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS :awesome: :dance:

[squareonefivesix]

Awww I love Folding Stars :heart:

 

Who is Elenore btw?

[a-chan]

 

Who is Elenore btw?

Simon's mother who died before (or just at the beginning) of the making of Puzzle. Hence the 'death songs' in this album..Machines, semi-mental or folding stars being about her for exemple. Sad. :cry:

[squareonefivesix]

Oh right, awwww sad :( I never really noticed these songs being about death tho...:dozey: :shrug:

This is dead cute. Simon's all super super smiley :D

[a-chan]

Some are not as explicite as Machines but when you know it, it gives a different feeling of those songs and it's just :bigcry:

I'm always reading the lyrics (need it since english is not my first language and add the scottish accent...I really need it :lol: ), I'm going on 'songmeaning.com' so it helps I guess :shrug:

[PolarMonkey]

/Bump..

 

I've just found the cutest pic ever :heart:

 

 

love those guys.

 

why hasn't anyone pointed this out yet? (or maybe it's just me being weird...)

 

BEN WITH HAIR!!! :stunned:

 

'nuff sed. :P

 

 

 

^Good Lord, I'm surprised he's got any room left for more tattoos :stunned:

he's actually admitted on an interview that he is running out of space for tattoos already... :lol:

 

which reminds me...going back to that same interview...

BEHOLD!!! the amazing footballing/guitar playing skills of Simon Neill!!! :cool:

I saw that one!! AWESOME!!! (but did Simon said he wanted to be a footballer as a kid :D )

 

btw, I've listened to the ITVs/acoustic sessions Anna put on the new Biffy MM thread, and the ITVs are really nice!! On one, the 'Ben-put-pijamas-under-his-jeans' make a return :laugh3: And I didn't know they were doing some martial arts :cool:

 

But I will say this once again: THEY ARE TOO AMAZING IN ACOUSTIC!!! :bomb: Wish they'll do an accoustic tour one day...would be awesome!! The Rage against the machine cover is just mindblowing! It's the first time actually that I pay attention to the lyrics of this song....

Aurélie, after you mentioned the tattoo in German I searched a bit on the Forum.

 

It's a poem by Bertholt Brecht:

 

"In den finsteren Zeiten

Wird da auch gesungen werden?

Da wird auch gesungen werden.

Von den finsteren Zeiten"

-->

"In the dark times

Will there be sung?

There will be sung as well.

Of the dark times"

 

Found the answer in a thread about Simon's tattoos... loved this short reply the most: "They all present a subliminal message, close to meaning "fanboy"." :laugh4:

(Well, not in this case but when you watch the Live Lounge video where he expalins some of them this person's comment seems suitable!)

[a-chan]

THANKS for the digging Anna (and translation, my german is *hum* all forgotten...)!!! Nice poem ^^ (bigLOL at the tatoo comment....but kinda true XD)

 

I've just recevied my copy of the XFM 1000 songs of all time and there a bunch of Biffy songs in it :awesome: (this book seems ace btw, great pics and paper but it's a mini-encyclopedia (weight wise XD)) I'll tell you all what's said about their songs when I'll five minutes to read it :)

[SueDeNimes]

Thanks, that'd be awesome!

 

I've just finished watching "Voice and electrical noises" on my DVD player... couldn't watch it on my laptop for some reason :thinking: but now I'm listening to the album on full volume in my room on the good hi-fi system. :awesome:

 

I need to watch it again! "IS THAT NOT UNHEAVY ENOUGH?" :lol:

 

Loved everything about it, too many hilarious and awesome things to mention them all...

This was funny for example:

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuG4GNgrH8Q]YouTube - Biffy Clyro - Simon playing a Theremin (Video from the DVD "Voice And Electrical Noises")[/ame]

[a-chan]

Thanks, that'd be awesome!

I'll take pics with my camera, it will be easier! *will do tonight*

 

but now I'm listening to the album on full volume in my room on the good hi-fi system. :awesome:

that's the best! I love my hi-fi system, it's always on :lol:

Ahhhhh that's called 'theremin'?!! I wondered what it was called!!! that's so weird! :stunned: :lol:

[SueDeNimes]

Ahhhhh that's called 'theremin'?!! I wondered what it was called!!! that's so weird! :stunned: :lol:

I've seen those things before but didn't know what they're called either. :laugh4:

 

It's so funny that it seems to "whistle" at him like :wink3: when he walks past!

 

Will do some more digging for acoustic stuff later! :escaping3:

[a-chan]

It's so funny that it seems to "whistle" at him like :wink3: when he walks past!

:lol: good point!

 

Here the pics of the pages dedicated to Biffy (there is a quote of Simon at the beginning of the book: "XFM has always delivered some brilliant music and this book is no exception. It's an honour to be included in it". )

 

 

 

 

Humm...now I wonder what that 'golden rule' is... :thinking: :sneaky:

 

 

enjoy!!

[SueDeNimes]

Thanks for the pics!!! :kiss: :hug:

 

I wanna know the golden rule, too! :thinking:

The book's font is great, I had it in my PC as well from DaFont but can't remember its name. :bomb:

Edit: "Birth of a hero"!!! found it! :dance: *reinstalled*

It says "free for personal use"... I wonder if they asked the guy who made it. :thinking:

You're welcome :) I've started reading the book, all my favorites bands are in there :awesome:

Hello fellow top posters! :kiss:

 

I've just ordered a limited edition version of Puzzle! :dance:

And two of their other albums... Amazon UK is simply too cheap in comparison to Germany. :uhoh:

 

So looking forward to the discies! :awesome:

 

Here are two "making of" videos, the first one is funny and you can see Simon's arms covered in mosquito bites rather than tattoos. :lol:

Cool!!! But I prefer play.com to amazon. It works the same (new and used item cheap) BUT the delivery is FREE :awesome: This site is causing my ruin actually... :shame:

YouTube - The Making of the Biffy Clyro video "My Recovery Injection"

So many things to point out!!

-the hair on Ben!

-the shorts :facepalm:

-Simon's mosquito bites (remind me of last summer where I was covered by them :dozey: )

-the barbie girl who can't pronounce the band's name :facepalm:

 

Already saw that one but Simon's contacts just freaks me out!

 

Thx for the vids Anna :kiss:
