Get on the Grammies winning you amazing exposure, and you don't pick one of the 3 amazing songs on your album to perform instead going with the mediocre song.

Someone needs to be fired.

 

[kylej]

play something from Funeral, Win

 

[blame space]

month of may (Extended) fucking awesome

 

[Knux-Future]

Watching this performance and all I can think is...

silence got robbed.

HOLY SHIT.

Damn son you're dropping bombs tonight

 

[Vox-Pop]

bikes, really, in 2011, really?. this sucks.

Antichrist Television Blues please.

 

[BrLvgThrChmstry]

theyre not that good

I concur.

Watching this performance and all I can think is...

silence got robbed.

Hah!

 

[JCX]

Let down.

 

[vatstep]

Haha, Arcade Fire trolled everyone, including their fans. Everyone knows Month of May is the weakest song on the record. I'm guessing the Academy wanted them to be "young" and "fuck shit up".

 

[Crumpet Trumpet]

why would they perform month of may! dumbassssssses

 

[ThanksVision]

Terrible song choice. Literally their worst.

They are rocking it though...

 

[ggnoobIGN]

I thought Arcade Fire was supposed to be good? They're awful.

 

[Timber]

Hell yeah. They just destrooooyed the Grammys.

 

[soundscream]

GAF I AM DISAPPOINT

 

[smokeymicpot]

Month of May is alright. So many better songs on that album. Even playing the Suburbs in the background.

 

[MIMIC]

".....or Katy Perry"

I lolled

 

[Slime]

Arcade Fire effin' killed it. They better win.

 

[m0dus]

Why oh why didn't one of the cyclists run into the drummer

 

[Tamanon]

Wait, this is the band folks rave about all the time? That sounded generic as hell.

 

[MThanded]

oh man that was no good

 

[wenis]

I love the choice in bumper music! fuck you haters!

 

[krypt0nian]

Amazing except for BMX Cam guy at the end.

 

[Boogie]

OH GOD I AM NUMBER FOUR

AKA GENERIC LAME TWILIGHT KNOCKOFF KILL ME NOW....

[Hasphat'sAnts]

All right, they're gonna play "Wake Up" after this, right?

 

[Timber]

People here hate Month of May? Are you guys kidding?

 

[Dynamite Ringo Matsuri]

bikes, really, in 2011, really?. this sucks.

Antichrist Television Blues please.

I can't believe I'm agreeing with you, but yeah, Antichrist please..

 

[george_us]

Wait, this is the band folks rave about all the time? That sounded generic as hell.

And terrible to boot.

 

[MThanded]

don't be that guy with the facebook car. Sorry that shit is just dumb.

 

[Vox-Pop]

Month of May is alright. So many better songs on that album. Even playing the Suburbs in the background.

should have played Rococo or Sprawl II.

 

[blame space]

Hell yeah. They just destrooooyed the Grammys.

i don't care if you like that lady antebellum song..

finally, someone gets it

 

[Recon]

Everything about that performance was laughably bad.

 

[Discotheque]

Real Arcade Fire:

indeed. When they performed that with Bowie I orgasmed.

This Month of May song is shit though.

 

[weekend_warrior]

That was painful to watch. Literally, I had to shield my eyes from the tv to avoid frying my eyes from that ridiculous light show.

 

[MIMIC]

Are you fucking kidding me with that car commercial? @_@

 

[wenis]

People here hate Month of May? Are you guys kidding?

I know right? It doesn't sound mournful and moody that's why. Too much for some feeble brains to handle.

ALSO AMAZING LIVE IN A CROWD GOING NUTS

 

[Equus Bellator Apex]

sigh

of all of the songs to choose

 

[The M.O.B]

I hate that they separate Rap from the rest of the awards, I don't see them having Reggae awards category, or electronic award. Such BS this is.

 

[enzo_gt]

Are they even allowed to take these shots at iPhone 4? Isn't this shit sue-able?

 

[ChoklitReign]

I liked that AF song. I guess I'll check out all of their albums now to see the hype.

 

[blame space]

Wait, this is the band folks rave about all the time? That sounded generic as hell.

shut up

anyone who seriously judges an artist based on their performance at the grammys.. just don't post about music ever again

 

[Timber]

i don't care if you like that lady antebellum song..

finally, someone gets it

That Antebellum thing might have been slight lapse of judgement.

Month of May is such a strong song.

 

[smokeymicpot]

should have played Rococo or Sprawl II.

Fuck yeah they should of. Now I will listen to the whole album.

 

[Swag]

I've compiled some Arcade Fire media off the Suburbs for the doubters in this thread, judging them based off that performance is criminal.

The Sprawl II
Ready to Start
Suburban War

 

[enzo_gt]

I hate that they separate Rap from the rest of the awards, I don't see them having Reggae awards category, or electronic award. Such BS this is.

Did you miss the bit where they completely forgot to acknowledge Guru's death? They should be taking major heat for that shit. Someone like Russell should make a huge deal about that and let these fuckers know they messed up.

 

[Kusagari]

Why didn't they play Suburban War?

 

[m0dus]

Arcade Fire effin' killed it. They better win.

They sounded awful. And that stage show was straight outta 1992. Seriously.

 

[SephCast]

What if....Arcade Fire wanted to keep from being mainstream...and chose that on purpose? What if they made that song only because they knew they'd have to perform at the Grammys?

 

[blame space]

you guys.. it's their punk song..

that was literally a perfect performance.

 

[krypt0nian]

See? This is what I was saying. Arcade Fire hate on GAF. smh.

 

[ThanksVision]

I know right? It doesn't sound mournful and moody that's why. Too much for some feeble brains to handle.

ALSO AMAZING LIVE IN A CROWD GOING NUTS

IT'S FAST AND FUN AND JUMPY AND SHIT. I saw it live, and it was fun. It isn't a bad song but it's easily their worst. I'm just upset that they chose this track, so many better options.
