I had the pleasure of DJing with Joe Talbot and he is as genuine as it gets. He's always been an advocate for "love" and even at the end of his DJ set as we said our farewells he put both his hands on either side of my face and said the most sincere thank you and goodbye i think i've ever received. Just a genuinely lovely lovely man.

[Malficarum]

I really enjoyed your review, so to speak. Look forward to more IDLES reactions....and the sweat.

[samclayton]

They are one of the most important bands around at the moment and THE best live band on the planet.

Aggressive Dancing. Violent movement. Compulsive. Infectious. Dogmatic rhythm.
I love it.

[andrewlowery]

IDLES always make you feel something, and it's brilliant that you can't always put your finger on it. This will inspire some of the most intense dancing the world has even witnessed. Been finishing every sentence with a sinister "...and the sweat!!!" since it came out.

I love Joe and IDLES - the music resonates with my soul, .the lyrics are the perfect, just the right ratio of rage, humour, vulnerability, sensuality, power. If I was 30 years younger I'd have been in the mosh pits right in front of the stage instead of sitting at the back. 

The first time I saw them live, my heart almost exploded - especially with the lyrics, I was so proud that this was the music she was listening to. As you said, Justin, Joe exudes both menace & humour - epitomising joy as an act of resistance. As a cranky old lady, I am all for this type of rage, and I'm ready to see the establishment burn to ashes. This is the type of music that saved my life in the 80s and now it gives me hope for the future.

Joe's raw emotion - he speaks on stage about his losses and his grief - I wept as he spoke about losing his mother. We need more men speaking openly about feelings, and processing in a healthy way, we are losing too many men to "toxic masculinity" - that rage needs to be redirected to focus on the source.

This song is so addictive, been blasting it at work and watching peeps shaking to it. That bass line hits me right in the nuts

[elliecorson]

It’s the background lyric during the chorus that hits me really hard - “collide us while we work it out”. Whatever you’re going through, let’s dance through it; we might as well.

Idles are a music genre of their own. It’s crazy and scary and joyous. Watching them play at Rock ‘n’ Roll hotel in D.C. was intense. Joe was supercharged that night, what a show.

[MikeydeLaraCovers]

I love how you’ve become a source of new music for me. So grateful!

[MariaFrancesca]

Let me just say how much I appreciate you leaving all mistakes and accidents in the videos. Always lures a smile out of me 🙂 Just don't lose an eye!!!

[VaughnDingus]

I had never heard them before and now I’m completely in love and working my way through their albums. Thank you for sharing this. Their performance of Samaritans on Jools Holland’s show was moving.

[helenrobinson]

I absolutely love them. Their music gets you in the gut. You sit up and take notice of anything Idles do. I agree this is simplistic yet every single beat of it and word holds you. It's mesmerising. It holds you in its doom laden mesmerising rhythmic grip ❤❤❤

[PrognostiVader]

This song isn’t just my jam, it’s my muthafucking Polaner All-Fruit.

Awesome 2 hour live concert a couple of weeks ago. Something for everyone, my 20 year old son loved it and so did the rest of the audience who were 40 -50 plus. Idles come across as genuine guys. I am at the older end of their audience spectrum and can hear their Fall influence. Saw them a couple of years ago at a festival and the roadie was tuning up using the bassline from "Blindness". I knew I was in for a great concert, and wasn't disappointed.

[benwaller]

IDLES gigs are insane! Never been in a mosh pit quite like one of their's before

[struebz]

Idles are one of my favourite bands of recent years. So good. And so good live, one of the best gigs I’ve been too

[АлисаИванцова-лг]

this video got me acquainted with IDLES, and for that I’m so grateful to this channel. Now I realize what a treasure was discovered by a pure chance. Thank you ❤

[LizzieBridge]

I went to see Idles this summer in Halifax and I am more obsessed than ever before. They are unbelievable live. I’m amazed you didn’t pick up how Joe rolled the R on the word pirouette. I love it.
