I like think maybe in would be cool if they said something to the crowd after the set but not during. It would just spoil the music and would distract away from it. Orbital talk and i didnt like it.

Yeah, Phil was saying stuff between the songs at Brixton, but I couldn't make out a thing, the mic wasn't anywhere near loud enough.

They've taken the whole medieval history thing too seriously and have taken a vow of silence.

Hmm... that makes me wonder. Does anyone know if they're religious, or not, or whatever? I would assume that they dont really care, but you can be surprised sometimes.

Yes, there's a rumour which says Tom might be Jesus.

I like them just the way they are on stage. Men of few words because what they really need to get across is in the music. ;) I think if they decided to talk and stuff during a gig, that would take away from their music - that doesn't seem like their style.



But they do communicate with body language, and sometimes that's worth a thousand words - fists in the air, Tom's "Come on!!!!!!" looks he gets on his face when he want to get the audience riled up, hugging each other, they bob around onstage, they get totally into it. Plus those mad scientist looks Tom was giving to the crowd at Fuji Fest on the dvd during Hoops. The first time I saw them dj, Tom made some very nice, heartfelt gestures to some people in the front row - that was very sweet. And then there's Ed who does make eye contact with people in the crowd, and he comes up to shake peoples' hands and tell them "thanks". I can't wait to see Ed dance and jump in the air like you all witnessed him do at Brixton!



The communication is there, it's just not in the form of a lecture.

Oh, and Chrisman:

not if people use gay words like that

When I saw 'em in SF on October 8th, 1999, I head 'em speak. I was up in the absolute front, against the barricade, dead center of the stage. Right in front of the mixing desk... During the quiet lull right before TPPR started to build, I could hear the two of them talking to each other as they hunched over the mixer. Then immediately after the show when they were walking around the stage looking all gracious, they were saying *something* to the audience, but I couldn't make any of it out. They had raped my ears with those delicious fuzz-fuck squelches they were using in the Setting Sun-Chemical Beats transition around that time...



Personally, I like the way they do things. Other electronic bands, like Underworld, who actually have vocalists/frontmen - well, it's downright proper that they should talk to the audience. And I think Karl's stage banter is downright masterful if occasionally creepy (that dude can give you some strange, strange looks if he wants to...) However, with the knob-twiddling duos of the likes of the Chems and Orbital, it's best to go with no talk. Paul and Phil just halting the concert to say "'ello!" was not a good move IMO. Keep those beats pounding and make me forget everything but the overwhelming sound and light spectacle...

What they should do is get a white MC up on stage...

NEWS - Superstar DJs can't handle the attention

02/03/2000







Thursday March 2, 03:38 PM --



The Chemical Brothers say they won't be able to handle picking-up a Brit award on Friday if they win, because they're so scared of public speaking.



Tom and Ed are up for 4 nominations �?? Best Dance Act, Best Single, Best British Album and Best Video �?? but said they would not relish having to accept any awards.



'We absolutely hate public speaking. It will be exruciating if we win and have to go up there more than once. I don't know how we'll handle it,' said Tom.



'I thought it was strange that we had so many nominations but I feel we make great music and we've had a great year,' he said

HAHAHAHAHAHA

See this is EXACTLY why i love them so much :D

aaaaaaaaah X-D

Ow btw , didn't they win this award once where they had to get on stage...? I saw a pic once and it's a long time ago as Tom still had long hair. I wonder what they said there haahaha X-D

yeah they won the brit award for best dance that year and picked up the award on stage

I think that bit of modesty is an endearing quality that shows they are only human...
