Take A Bow Arcade Fire

[bennyk]

Would just like to say well done to Arcade Fire on there 2 BRIT awards tonight for best international group and best international album.

Just proves that a headline band with one of the smallest crowds can produce something amazing. Scrolling down my facebook page to find people saying 'who the f**k are arcade fire?' and 'arcade who?' ...set of tossers.

So, so happy they headlined R+L

[Paul ™]

Spot on, they deserve them (and the Grammy they got the other night)

[Joe-]

Agreed! Happy for them!

[Clemo]

I'm happy for them, Mumford & Laura Marling, proves you don't have to make generic shit to win a Brit.

[Jackmypie]

Agree, it's weird how a band like Arcade fire can be in the same award show with artist such as Justin Bieber and Cheryl Cole!

[bennyk]

Yeah it does indeed

I think 2012 will be a massive year for Arcade, they will be like gold to the festivals

i think that was one of the best brit awards i've seen for a while. james corden was a great host, and the evening was filled with awards for great acts such as arcade fire and mumford and sons. that performance of arcade fire's at reading last year was one of the best gigs i've ever been to, and i'm so pleased that they got their two brits. great performance of 'ready to start', too! can't wait to see them both at hyde park!

i can rember first listening to Funeral back in 2006. so happy this band has finnaly become f**king huge like they deserve. every album has got better and better which is so rare for a band now adays. and f**k me were they insane at reading

also all the liberteens fans can officaly STFU with 'who the f**k is arcade fire' and why are Arcade fire headlining. Fwi, because there f**king amazing.

(note, i dnt have anything agaist the liberteens, just some twats at reading )

Saturday night last year was great, roll on Hyde Park.

[Sparticus]

i've seen them, i'll be seeing them this year as they're on the hurricane lineup, but I really don't get why everyone shoots their load over them.

The first two albums are good (Not listened to the suburbs yet), but not grab you by the bollocks fantastic, and the performance on the brits didn't really change my opinion. Good, yet not great.

[Welshyyy]

I'm just upset i missed them at Leeds now

Bad religion was poor! hopefully they'll be back in the near future

Like Arcade Fire need to be recognised. Sorry for being contrary but they're so much better than the Brit Awards - they don't need a pat on the back from the music industry to tell them how good they are, and the less popular they are to the Radio 1 crowd, the better.

I was hoping from the title that Arcade Fire were playing an archery event.

Yes,so nice to see yet more privately educated drivel make music "from the heart".

[sjp_121]

Arcade Fire are the best thing in Music at the moment. And have been for a long time.

All I can really say is thank you to Melvin Benn for introducing me to what is now my favourite band of all time.

[thetime]

will wait for the backlash on arcade fire because they are now part of the establishment.

especially on efests.

In all seriousness though, who cares about the Brits? They gave an ward to Justin Bieber over The National. Says it all really.

[jump]

Is this Liam Gallagher!? This kind of reverse class snobbery is completely ridiculous, you are either a talented musician or you are not. Seasick Steve was a tramp and is a brilliant musician, members of Radiohead have fine arts degrees, and they make brilliant music. And I seem to remember you being the one that likes Muse: the most cold, calculated band on the planet.

it really does depress me how ignorant people can be. Like i cant understand how someone can be so unaware of the world in which they live in, and these people who posted those tweets, instead of taking 2 minutes tweeting something that they probably thought was witty and on the ball, could of had a listen and formed an opinion.
