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

    The beatles | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ 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.


    that's life | Reviewer: Cristabella
        ------ 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

        ------ About the song The Fallen performed by Franz Ferdinand

    "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!!)


    teens? | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ 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


    Snailreview "I'm Your Villian" | Reviewer: Snail-Guy
        ------ 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!

    Something to ask | Reviewer: Selene
        ------ About the song The Fallen performed by Franz Ferdinand

    Hi! I'm not english, but I hope you'll be able to understand me anyway.
    I've got something to ask about the lyrics of this song: what's the meaning of "I need a bit of black and blue to be in rotation" ?
    Do you have any clue?
    Thanks for the attention!!


    Theyre my idols | Reviewer: John
        ------ About artist/band Franz Ferdinand

    I have a band I write the songs theyre my biggest influence Michael never bothered me at all I liked it the whole time who cares about what someones sexuality is? even tho the song is something for girls to dance to but still all of their songs are good and I'm siked for januarary Franz Ferdinand fo ever xD


    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."

    ^ from Wikipedia.

    Im waiting a lot their new album, and i cant wait until january!!!


    If you dont like ff, you dont like music


    .. | Reviewer: Rosssss
        ------ About the song Michael performed by Franz Ferdinand

    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. :(


    they might be... | Reviewer: some black guy
        ------ About the song Michael performed by Franz Ferdinand

    im pretty sure the lead singer might be gay. in another song ( "do you want to") there is a lyric that says "well i knew him before you.....somehting something well i blew him before you" but overall i dont care. gay or straight awesome song and band.


    awesomeness! | Reviewer: rk
        ------ About the song Michael performed by Franz Ferdinand

    well first i'd like to say that some of you have such a lovely sense of humor. my day didn't go very well, but after reading four pages of this, i felt thoroughly better. you guys are hilarious! personally, my opinion is that damian is a homophobic moron. however, we all have our opinions and i guess he deserves some respect too. i love franz ferdinand to death, i'm planning to get a tattoo of them somewhere. however, this song is definitely not their best. it's a bit cliche, if you ask me. anyways, i'm loving the controversy, everyone is blessed here, except damien. and by the way, it's not a gay undertone, the gayness is practically in your face. and i'm pretty sure kapranos is bisexual - i don't know.


    maybe- | Reviewer: sha
        ------ About the song Outsider performed by Franz Ferdinand

    this song has no direct meaning.
    maybe this song is about someone dreaming, and the incomplete thoughts one has while dreaming put into words.
    and franz has a lot of perscription drug usage in their songs. xD
    codeine, valium. sigh sigh.


    i love you guys | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song Michael performed by Franz Ferdinand

    this is amazing, such a feud that lasts over two years. brilliant! damien can go to hell. franz ferdinand is brilliant, michael is definitely not their best song but it's still pretty good. all who went against damien and his homophobic blither are blessed. unlike damien, you are a great addition to this world. [you guys are hilarious by the way, lovely sense of humour.]


    Myth Busters | Reviewer: Croyx85
        ------ About the song Take Me Out performed by Franz Ferdinand

    I´ve heard its about the Myth Busters. The Head with the glases is Adam Savage. "I say don't you know,
    You say you don't know", sometimes they don´t know what would happen after starting an experiment... And in the musicvideo you can see some experiments, like the shooting woman the much machines. Rest of the lyrics is ambiguous...
    I only heard it...but don´t know really. Watch the video.


    take me out | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song Take Me Out performed by Franz Ferdinand

    it's obviously about the assasination of archduke francis ferdinand. if other people wanna interpret it as something different, thats fine, but the assasination is what the song is about. it's like saying the song iris by the goo goo dolls was not about angels [which it most definitely was about, as it was created for a movie about angels] but instead about some meek loser afraid to talk to some girl. that song is about angels, in the same sense take me out is about the assasination.


    Meh | Reviewer: JacquelYN
        ------ About the song Jacqueline performed by Franz Ferdinand

    I always thought that my name was unique and seeing how the rest of the world spells it keeps it that way. Not crazy about this song though. Better songs about Jackie have been written, I think anyway. Songs like "Jackie's strength" by Tori Amos and "Jackie Blue" by the Smashing Pumpkins are two.


    for chirst sake... | Reviewer: adam
        ------ About the song Michael performed by Franz Ferdinand

    ok ppl i rather dislike the fact that you are fighting about gay persons over a song..ok...a fucking good song lol..the thing is that if damien guy or whatever wants to think that way then fine...we cant change hes mind even if hes wrong lol.
    please the band is not gay...and sure the song has a few gay undertones to it but its a humorous song, i like the sense of humor franz ferdinand has, it makes the band rather different than the others.
    i dont see why you say they are gay...if you are a writer and you write a novel with some gay undertone on it doesnt mean you are gay!...you saying that this band is gay because of some songs is stupid is like saying that if someone writes a song about animals they are one!...grow up and realize that in this world theres a lot of gay and bi ppl that are fantastic...and if you think this song is so gay then why the hell are you searching for the lyrics??...idiot.
