their live show is just a huge party, its such a fun experience

yeah i was at Glasto when they played before Radiohead..it was a full-on color saturated balloon overloaded birthday fiesta extravaganza!, and dude...the part where he poured the fake blood on himself!! :shock: :lol: It was total good hearted Lunacy, bless 'em:)

i was wondering what happened to him-i thought someone threw a bottle or something up and it hit him!!! :roll: :lol:

:lol: :lol:

 

He made this little speech about birthdays and said how since he thought being born is the bloodiest thing we humans will ever do, that it would be appropriate to pour blood on himself when they sang that happy birthday dedication to some dudes daughter named Marley ;)

:? :shock: rock stars do the strangest things!!! ;) :lol:

I was really really impressed with their live show... they had people dressed up as animals walkin about the stage, he had huuuge coloured balloons bouncing through the audience, there was a smoke machine, little bits of paper were thrown and were floating all over the audience! he had his trademark blood on his face and a red cape on, and he was just a total loony but the crowd loved him! "do you realise" is such an amazing song, it's the one i'll remember the most!

 

WOOHOO :D

mmmmmmmmmmm i like grandmothers

do you realize

i love that song :D

that's a crazy weird video. they even have a commercial for it...

 

*bump*

 

i love that song too :smug:

 

i saw them live in the summer... they were keraaaaaaaaaaazy

 

brilliant brilliant band :D

Yoshimi is a nice album. Not my fave but nice. :) It is good happy music, and even though it is a bit silly it actually has quite a bit to say. I like the song All We Have Is Now. It has certainly grown on me since i first listened to it.

 

Is soft bulletin very different?

Let's Talk about The Flaming Lips

 

show some apperciation for this great american band :)

Nicholas....do you realize that you have the most beautiful face? :idea2:

oooh I love The Flaming Lips :)

They are fantastic live - they're crazy! In a good way of course... :rolleyes:

 

Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots is an excellent album :cool:

Have you heard Soft Bulletin or Transmissions from the Satellite heart? Also fantastic albums :)

I haven't heard them :embarrased: !

I will try to download some stuff soon though :cool:

Hallelujah! Best American band around today!

 

The Soft Bulletin is one of my favorite albums of all-time. :D

 

Still not quite sure what to do with Zaireeka. I've only ever listened to the dumb thing twice. :dozey:

i don't think they're as good as a lot of other people think.

i can't take their music seriously

Begone with ye, heathen! :P

Lol the flaming lips are amazing lol,

 

I mean, it isnt music isnt amazingly ground breaking, but the lyrics kill me, i think my favorite lyrics by them is from Bad Days

 

"You hate your boss at your job, but in your dreams you can blow his head off, in your dreams shoooooow no mercy"

 

Lol, sorry, that just tickles me lol, its such a cuckoo song... :smug: dont mind me lol :blush:

They do have amazing lyrics, but I wouldn't put "Bad Days" at the top of the list. :P

 

I think Wayne Coyne is a genius. Just the concept alone of an album like Zaireeka is great, and the fact that they actually went ahead and did it, let alone made it sound fantastic, is unbelievable. And reading Wayne's liner notes for the different songs is a real treat and further drives home his creative talent (35,000 Feet of Despair: the tale of a commercial pilot who goes insane at the helm of a jet plane in the air and hangs himself in the bathroom, with each disc being a different "voice" in the pilot's head). I would say that that album IS ground-breaking (if completely inaccessable to many people). :D

 

Anyway... I can't seem to say enough about how great the Flaming Lips are. They're also possibly the best live show I've EVER seen. (Radiohead have got nothing on the Flaming Lips in that aspect)

Meh, I know a guy who has like such a hard on for Radiohead. Don't get me wrong, they are a good band but sometimes, bands like Radiohead and Nirvana really bug me, because people are always saying how amazing they are and sure, they got some good stuff but not every single thing they do is amazing like people make out.

YES!! I agree... well one of them anyway :rolleyes:

I was like :shocked: for most of it! They think of everything :lol:
