[David.S.]

damn, this is better than the album version..

[inghell]

The unsung hero in this song is the bass section, it not only drives the song but that middle 8 bass line is so good, creates a menacing air to the song.

[shotty]

Holy shit what did i stumble upon!! Never heard of these guys but this is one of the best live performances i have heard in years

[punkccorpse]

Getting some solid "British Death Grips" vibes and I absolutely love it

[strav_o]

Wow! I like this version even more than on the album!

[ynzsbstn]

IDLES and From The Basement, what a combination!!!

[CarsonBrockOfficial]

Only so many bands can leave you without a breath to take in. And these guys are one of those…
2:20 is raw and honest power from the singer.

[WretchedIcon]

I absolutely love this song. Not only does hit incredibly hard, that small part at 2:34 is just so perfect. The instruments give me a sort of Tool vibe, or something of that air, but mixed with their style; Joe's vocals in this section perfectly match the vibe, like I can't think of anyway it could be done better.

Literally found these guys this morning, fucking brilliant.

[buddhahat]

Incredible sound, and Joe delivers his best version of the Car Crash lyrics yet. ❤️ IDLES

[MARTINDAVID]

This tune resonates so much, exactly what I'm feeling right now.

[konfusionstudio]

My love for this band grew progressively since their debut album and seeing how big they became makes me so happy. Great fucking band.

[Itsameloki]

Hearing this live is simply an out of this world experience. In any of it's forms, they never cease to amaze me. What a fucking great

[luxurydeathtrap]

Love the screeching gerbil sounds at the end!

[Illustroanimus]

Absolutely seminal brilliance, the energy, targeted aggression and passion, words dont do this justice

[schulzbot]

This song makes me feel alive and I'm already alive. Huge pop!

[antondillet]

They get musically more and more interesting! I like it a lot! Thanks, folks!

[Toreal]

I keep coming back to this one over the album version, this live version has something special, love it!

[dropbearjd]

Ugh... that intro is filthy. Love it 🙌🙏💯❤️

[LeventT]

Can’t stop watching this video again and again!
