I for one had never heard these guys and happened across this performance on good ole' MTV. Become mildly obsessed with this song but can't quite explain why.
I'd say its sounds more like a diluted Simple Minds circa 1981/2. As most of their fans won't have heard that they are just fine getting away with it. Why do the camera operators insist on zooming in on that annoyingly self conscious blond tart all the way though this? She sums up all that is wrong with music festivals and the reason I could never go to one. Who on earth would pay hundreds of pounds to look at some shite flags all days and silly tarts on their beefcake boyfriends' shoulders.
agreed on both simple minds & the media obsession with 21 year old graduates from Surrey.I have been to enough glastonbury festivals to remember a time when this wasn't always the case and people were there who were actually into the music rather than texting their friends who couldn't get in telling them what a great time they are having.
claudio barragan sorry to do that Claudio but the way I see it is I am happy to listen to bands who having a passing influence - and The Horrors were precisely that up until the current album. They have clearly decided they want to be more commercial (check out the terrible rendition of Sea Within A Sea at Glastonbury this year). It is no accident they sound more and more like Simple Minds as I think they sat down looked at how a group can go from uber cool to Stadium Rock riches and stumbled on the SM back catalogue. I would much rather listen to original Simple Minds (of whom I was a massive fan pre-1984) than this garbage.
Get over yourself matey. Arp'ed synths were championed by everyone in the late 80's and also included a lot of the Detroit house movement which the horrors have never shied away from when it comes to comparison. I will give you "70's cities as love brings the fall" intro as a similar "sound" but its very lazy to consider the horrors as just a rip off band. I'd argue you love your old music and can't find a "fix" in the modern era...and probably cite Oasis as a cheap Beatles rip off!
Just listened to their latest album it's poor just one descent track I See you, other than that it's all I've heard before and they are a poor copy of simple minds.
I was there and the recording is not good quality, this seems to be the same with all Glastonbury BBC recordings. This was awesome live and Faris voice is amazing!
This was a fantastic afternoon, an exceptional show

Great song
Not many people are mooving ! But nice girl singing at 2:22
It all works and think it's great creativity
i don't care how terrible faris sings live, i still think that he's such an amazing singer, and i'm still dying just to see them live.
i'm a horror♥
I just saw them live and Faris was great.
That made no sense...
He's a proper front-man...
Goooooooooooooooooooooood !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2:22 💞
really.
Very niceee ❤
I don't think he sounds bad, that's his voice and pretty exactly the same in the records lol
~~~~~~~~~Good
this is fine as fuck, so now I wanna dance like their bassist.
good track good performance, people giving out my god enjoy, try writing a good tune!
They should perform at night

shit! you just opened my ears to that simple minds reference, and now you ruined this band forever for me. the flags omfg, why would they allow it?

bear
Why no hd wtf bbc ?
did anyone notice what he was drinking at the start of the set looked like cough medicine
Maybe that's why his voice is so shit live?
1:36 - everything that is so wrong with festivals - still she is not waving a flag so I musn't grumble
Clicky bass drum in the mix ruins everything!
Surely that chick at 2:20 is planted. Couldn't be smoother.
ummm...i have no problem with hot blondes wearing wayfarers. Pretty much the reason all of us women lovers exist.
Lush tune
I think he was sick...
Zlatan
y iz voice :(
This arrangement does not float my boat
Their live shows are always terrible, love their songs though
yeah, this was not a good performance. my first listen to the band and not impressed at all.
Hmmmm sounds like a pretty terrible version of a Smiths Song
terrible frontman
Just listened to their latest album it's poor just one descent track I See you, other than that it's all I've heard before and they are a poor copy of simple minds.
His voice is terrible
In a good way of course
Mariya Y How did you interpret that to be in a good way?
Yo, that's your opinion. Others may not share it.
Я бы даже сказал в нем лавное не голос, а те чувства, которые вызывают его песни.
I was there and the recording is not good quality, this seems to be the same with all Glastonbury BBC recordings. This was awesome live and Faris voice is amazing!
Singer is horribly off-key in all their live performances.
this sucks!!! why are they even called the horrors !!!! bleeeeeeeeee
one of the worst performance i have ever seen/heard!
