Some time around the end of 2001, Bob was sitting in Alex's
kitchen. Alex had just been given a bass by his friend
Mick, on the condition that he did 'something useful' with
it.
"Do you want to learn to play the bass then, Bob?"
"No, I'm an artist, not a musician."
"It's the same thing."
"OK then."
So Bob learned the bass and they planned a band. It had to
be something big. Bob wanted it to be on the level of Field
Marshall Haig's tears that fell as he counted the
statistics of the men he had sent over the top. Alex wanted
to make music that girls could dance to.
Alex met Nick in Jo and Celias' kitchen. Nick was dressed
like a young Adam Ant and was stealing Alex's Vodka. They
were about to batter each others brains in when Alex asked
if he could play drums. Nick lied an More...

Review about Franz Ferdinand
dude... | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song The Fallen performed by Franz Ferdinand
I think the song is about the religious hypocrites that judge others for their different beliefs (or non-beliefs), or even their different interpretation of a certain religion. Most of these religions believe in equality. But these people, blatantly ignore these laws, go on and just hate others who aren't the same. Dude, some of these people even full on go AGAINST their religion, and morals, then attempt to cover it up with proof that what they did didn't ACTUALLY break any direct law, AND THEN they continue judging people.
(excuse my french)
'Fuck you' to all of those people

------ About the song Take Me Out performed by Franz Ferdinand
Ok listen to Finger Eleven's "Paralyzer" and Franz Ferdinand's "Take Me Out" and the Ting Ting's "Shut up and let me go" and last listen to Stevie Wonder's "Superstition". These songs all sound the same! Does anyone have any others? I know somebody who loves this sound and I want to surprise them...I'll check back! ^__^

------ About the song Take Me Out performed by Franz Ferdinand
How the FUCK could you think this song is about two snipers? How in the NAME OF JESUS FUCKING CHRIST COULD YOU BE THAT PROFOUNDLY STUPID? Please, please, PLEASE DON'T HAVE CHILDREN. I don't want mine to have to share a playground with your inbred mongoloid spawn that have the same gelatinous mass of shit to pass off as a brain or, as you probably know it, a 'thinky box'. FUCK STUPID PEOPLE.

------ About the song Take Me Out performed by Franz Ferdinand
Man. It is interesting to read these posts. Myth Busters? Sniping? Well it is good to have an imagination, I suppose, but the song is not ambiguous. "I know I won't be leaving here with you". It's sad and ironic in a way because the chick the song is about could never sum it up like this, could never lament like this. He is just projecting his beauty onto her and that is what he must do. He is alone.

------ About the album Franz Ferdinand performed by Franz Ferdinand
I am 63 years old and my daughter left your album in my car. I loved it. I love the one that has "I'm going to make someone love me...now I know, now I know that's you!" It is my theme song now for my newly found family. I was adopted and my daughter found me two sisters. When I first picked them up at the airport I played that song.

------ About the song Swallow, Smile performed by Franz Ferdinand
I adore this song... I was hooked the moment I heard it. It's just... Astounding. It fills you up, grips you tightly with acoustic guitar and hypnotic vocals and the moment it lets you go you feel like something's been taken from you... You never want it to end.

Serene, I think "I need a bit of black and blue in rotation" would mean that he wants some violence going on.. Being, black and blue are the colors of bruises. and he wants it to start happening.. Just at first glance of that phrase.

------ About the song Michael performed by Franz Ferdinand
This is just like when actors play gay roles and people assume they "must" be gay because of it. Musicians are artists and write lyrics to describe the world in different ways. It doesn't matter if it about the band or the band's friends, it is a piece of art by musicians that who want to relate parts of the world around them.
As for the Beatles issue, I personally think some of their songs sound much more like the Doors. maybe it's the voice.

------ About the song Michael performed by Franz Ferdinand
Hey Damian, do you know the Beatles song Michelle? Well, when that song was released in France there was a problem with the translation of the name Michelle. The name Michelle is actually the French name for Michael. Thus many French fans deduced that Lennon and McCartney were gay. The difference here is that back then, no one cared, they just enjoyed the music. You would have though that 40 years on we could be more accepting, but clearly not.

------ About the song Auf Achse performed by Franz Ferdinand
that's a beautiful song. we always want what we can't have, even if it's not worth it. that's how it works , and we can't do anything about it , we can just put up with it. the sound is simple but sweet. everyone would love it

"So I'm sorry if I ever resisted
I never had a doubt you ever existed
I only have a problem when people insist on
Taking their hate and placing it on your name"
I love this line and really think that it wraps up the whole meaning/intention of the song. I think I almost cried when I first grasped the meaning of this song... Its so AWESOME!! (this song is the opposite of anti-religious!! Its anti- the hypocrites that ruin religion for everyone else!!)

------ About the song You're The Reason I'm Leaving performed by Franz Ferdinand
First off, I like this song very much :D
second...I'm a teen and so you can't say it is not for "teens"...well, I think you meant something like it isn't for "mainstream" with lots of kids who start to say "Ah Franz Ferdinand's song is soooo cool..I love it!" just because it's new and popular :D then I would say I agree a lot..
Arigato xD

------ About the song I'm Your Villain performed by Franz Ferdinand
"I'm Your Villain" one of the lesser known songs by Franz Ferdinand. Very quick and enjoyinable, with a great intro. I'm a particularily like the corus and the lyrics "I think I'd prefer to be miserable instead" as it summed up my feelings at the time I heard it.
Any questions, comments or suggestiions of songs you'd like me to review, please e-mail me. THANKS!

story... | Reviewer: Sabrina
------ About the song Michael performed by Franz Ferdinand
The singer, Alex Kapranos, stated in an interview that the song was written about two friends of his — "It was one night when me and the band were out with friends from Glasgow, and we went to this warehouse dance party thing called Disco X. It was a very debauched night and these two friends got it together in a very sexy way."

Oh my fucking god people, even it WAS about them being gay, which might I add it's not, who gives a damn? Why don't you all just enjoy the song for THE SONG! Queen were all gay, but who cares? They made great music.. in other words.. GET OVER IT!
So very true | Reviewer: Mar
------ About the song Auf Achse performed by Franz Ferdinand
This song describes so well my feelings that whenever I see him, I sing it. Good thing he has no idea about what I'm talking about...
Then the sheer music, even without words, lets us feel the bodily sensations of frustration...
Wonderful.
Not so sure | Reviewer: Gggg
------ About the song Shopping For Blood performed by Franz Ferdinand
I love all of Franz's material... but this has to be a tad of a letdown. It's still cool and all, yet i feel the melody is well, lacklustre, compared to all the other Franz delights. I thought their second album was perfect. I never wanted to skip to the next song. If this was on it, i would. :(
