like i said ORBITAL... they were the best



BEN J- yes i ment best electronic act

I like Orbital and there music, but they some of there music sounds quite dull and dated now unlike the chems. I dnt like the way they didnt mix tracks live like the chems.

i don't know about dated !



when i saw them at brixton in 2004 they didn't mix there songs into one another, which did annoy me slightly, but there are examples of entire sets mixed into each other on the live section of the ORBITAL site, so they can and have done so in the past,



visually though i think Orbital are up there. even though they don't have the fluidity and excellence of the chems, when seeing them live you get a sence of there sheer magnificance. IMO anyway

Don't know about that, I'd have to give it to the Chems visually. Orbital have the head-goggle thing, which no-one can do know without copying, but they had no screens or anything like that. They just had some moulded plastic/card illuminated in different colours for each song, and a lot of LEDs. It was good because of its subtlety, it's different. The Chems visuals are much more intense, and I think it's fits the music better. Orbital were ... less intense, but not in a bad way. It's hard to explain, it's a personal thing.

no matter what, chems will always have a slight edge over any band.

Exactly, chems have it all and more, where as the others lack aspects.

I dunno about that. I love the Chems, their music, and their live show deeply, but just because they're the Chems doesn't automatically put them at the top of the list.



Sooner or later someone (electronic or otherwise) will top them and they'll probably respond by upping the ante even further. Until then, sure .....

but just because they're the Chems doesn't automatically put them at the top of the list.

Chemical brothers are on the top that is why they are world famous and they are who they are. Everything they do musically and live shows wise is the gold standard....others just immitate.

i agree with that



but i also agree with this:

And i think that electronic act that just topped them, is Daft Punk. They have gone beyond that "gold standard" and did it in their own unique way. But no worries, like Darkstar said the Chemical Brothers will probably respond by upping the ante even further.



And before you Daft Punk bashers start flaming again, you must look at the Coachella forum and see how Daft Punk has blown these people away. There must be at least 20-30 threads started, stating how great Daft Punk was, or it was the best show in Coachella history.



But the best thing about this Daft Punk performance at Coachella is, they have shown these stuburn "indie rock" people, that electronic music can be fun and even turning many of them into electronic fans. Its too bad Daft Punk has only choose just one U.S. date for touring, otherwise, they might have single handedly put the whole electronic world back on top in the U.S. once again. Well maybe not on top but, getting the attention that it diserves.



That being said, my opinion on the matter really shouldnt even count, since ive seen neither of them live. :P

yeah man, because the number of people who like something ALWAYS determines the quality... lowest common denominator is the phrase that comes to mind.



Anyway, here's a review of Coachella, from our local independent weekly, and I think it mentions everything that was worth mentioning this year.



http://www.ocweekly....-serious/25062/

And last year it was the Chems who were hailed as the best show in Coachella history - here, the Coachella board, random music messageboards I checked out. There were people coming to this board who weren't really fans saying how great they were.



Every year, it's something new. There's always gotta be the one show that steals the fest.



This year it was Daft Punk (cuz the Chems weren't there, hehe) Fine, fair enough.



While Daft Punk may have been amazing live - I fail to see how their one show that they've had years and years to plan can out-do what the Chems have been doing successfully and consistantly for over 10 years now. I'm sure maybe Tom and Ed are always willing to learn what makes their audiences tick, they are willing to give the people what they want. Whether or not they will take a leaf out of Daft Punk's book remains to be seen. Frankly I like them just the way they are. If they change the format of their approach, that would be a bit weird but well - we'll just have to wait and see what they have up their sleeves. Whatever the Chems do, it will be good I have no reservations about that.



Opinions. To each their own.

i could argue this point further but its just not worth it, especially in a chemical brothers forum :P ;-) :-D

I had a thought, uhm... have you ever been to a concert Bosco?

have you ever smoked a joint stash?

hahahaha



As said multiple times, and from what I've seen on video, Daft Punk rocked the joint. I haven't seen anything that topped Chems Coachella 2005 yet, but I wasn't there this year, so who knows......



I mean, really I'm just postwhoring while drunk at 6AM right now. I wish both groups welll. Cheers boss!

Bosco Escribi�:

didn't really answer my question, did you?



I'm guessing that discussing which band is better live with you is a bit like discussing BJs vs. anal with a virgin.

even when i was a virgin id still have gone for a b.j.....anal just aint all its cracked up to be......excuse the pun!

Stash your sig is class, hahahaha X-D
