Admit it, you can't remember the last time you listened to a Yeah Yeah Yeahs track. Maps doesn't count.

i listened to Pin a few days ago

because i couldn't remember how to play it on guitar. i still can't remember.


Yeah

Sounds so easy but it's a bit annoying to play. Think it starts with the twelfth fret, 2nd and 4th strings with the 3rd string deadened, if I remember rightly.


doesn't he play

in some really weird tuning? Like all in Es and Bs?


I do.


I listen to them!

I still love YYY's


I downloaded y control recently

as its the only song of theirs I like, that was about a month ago


....

They pop up occasionally on random.
That second album is really patchy.


i still love fever to tell

never listened to the 2nd one. i probably should!


a few songs from 'fever' came on

yesterday. but i never listened to that abominable second album. so you're right in that regard.


My brother was listening to the debut the other day...

admitedly, I haven't listened to them since Be Your Own Pet came about. Didn't think too much of the second LP to be honest


Naaw

I listen to them quite a bit. 'Show Your Bones' took a while to grow on me recently, respite having 'fever to tell' for aaages.

Dudley=choon


I listened to Y Control a day ago or two

and have been listening to Fever To Tell quite a bit recently.


I listend to the new ish EP a whole load the other day

really like them, any news on a new album?


Wrong

I listened to Fever To Tell in it's entirity last week.

They still remain one of my favourite bands.


That's not true!

I listened to "Way Out" from Show Your Bones on the radio only yesterday...

Oh wait, it was actually Santogold. What a rip off.

PS - I still think they're great.


I WAS LISTENING TO THEM THIS MORNING

and they were ace.
one of my top 3 30min albums: along with isthisit and green album


I still like 'em.

I think the second album is better than a lot of people give it credit for - Dudley, Cheated Hearts, Turn Into - all great! It was a bit of a departure from the first record, but it still worked. There are some great guitar parts from the Zinner.

Maps > everything else though.


Turn into is fantastic

YYY are amazing.


great call

true dat


My daughter likes to play

Gold Lion on the drum.


all the time

i like both albums and first EP, haven't listened to new EP much but i like it too


....

i don't understand the fascination with them.
i've never bloody liked them.


I do

not as often as I should, perhaps, but I heart them.


I like the second album better than the first one.

Fever To Tell seems full of filler because all their good songs of the period were on the early EP and singles.

About time that they did something new.


the latest ep...

Is Is is fucking supreme in my opinion. best thing they've done, can't wait for the next album as i thought show your bones was pretty poor.


i was listening to IsIs the other day

and show your bones yesterday.

love 'em :D


^^^ wot him above said

the Isis EP was brilliant, was the most exciting thing they've done since the the first e.p. and Machine, though there were flashes of Souxsie on there, not a bad thing. Think the next album will be like this?


funny

cos, i was only listening to fever to tell and the ep this morning for the first time in about 2 years..


I listen to em and still love them

Karen O is still one of the sexiest and most charasmatic women in rock. Her look has been stolen by the high street, the catwalk and a thousand wannabees in other bands. For me they are peerless.


I love

the yeah yeah yeah's, but I admit I haven't listened to them in a while.

I think the last time I listened was last year, because of the is is E.P, which was awesome!

Maybe they should a listen a new album.


I listened to 'Pin'
