I used to love these guys... Ever since I saw them performing live, I adore them. I mean it wasn't just the sound that was hitting us like a wall, is that you wanted it to hit you. I can't really explain it. After the concert, you felt like you were confessing your sins to a priest for two and a half hours (not that I have ever done it). Liberating...
I saw Mogwai live for the first time in June of 2002 at Club Laga in Pittsburgh, PA - sadly no longer around - and this was the first track they played. Sixteen minutes of pure divine bliss. One of the friends I went with looked at me and said, in the most accurate description I've ever heard, "it feels like we're being abducted by angels." I didn't want the song to end. They closed with My Father My King, which was performed in its 20+ minute entirety. It was awesome but I was almost deaf by the end of it. Incredible band; studio, indeed, but especially live. Long live Mogwai.
Yøu sure know what to say friend...... Played it when I saw them that same year in ATL. Part-Chimp was the opening act...... Still to this day, one of the greatest shows I have ever had the pleasure to enjoy...... cuz lemme just say...... the feelings I felt being in the room when Mogwai is playing are feelings & energies I have never felt since.
This is the best live song I've ever seen and listened to. After two months I still remember each second of that amazing performance. That was Heaven down on earth.
HOLY SHIT I'M SEEING THEM THIS FRIDAY. You're telling me that they're going to play "Fear Satan" as part of the Rave Tapes tour? Also is it going to be more of their new stuff or will we hear classics such as this and "My Father My King"?
notmicrowavesafe // It's a little sporadic. I caught them in Sacramento, first, and I'd say about 70% - 80% of the setlist was similar, but they definitely didn't play Mogwai Fear Satan, then. Had the opportunity to see them again in San Francisco, and was elated when they closed their set with it. You can peek at Setlist.fm to get an idea of what songs they're playing on this tour. Honestly, only 4 or so Rave Tapes songs will probably make the bill. Hope your show is a blast.
Derek Horton Fingers crossed man. Thanks for the update; if I see "Fear Satan" live then I can go and skydive Sunday with zero fear/doubt. Should be fun :D
Totally agnostic and the concert in SF was very good but this song made it unforgettable...one of the best songs i have ever heard live...may e the best...i think so...just saw Brian Jonestown Massacre and it was great but nothing i would evef remember like this...so incredible...if you get a chance see them..
el bien y el mal son conceptos occidentales,parte del mismo espejismo. El justo sera aceptado en el reino de dios y para eso no hay que ser siempre bueno.... Jah bless
5:30 This was how they played it live too when I watched them: no flute solo. During that calm interlude one of the guys in the front row went crazy and started shouting, ergo ruining the atmosphere (prob thought the song was over). The guitarist in front at that time--I think it was John Cummings --got annoyed and shushed him personally. I thought that was funny --but forgivable, given that I also went hysteric in that glorious moment the guitars blast out amid the calm (a la 8:18). I only managed to annoy the guy beside me, thank god.
+deinpare On the album Special Moves, the exact same thing happens. Are you sure you are not confusing your live experience and the track of the album? ;)
Intense and consuming No one's jumping off the stage or running around screaming Just close yer eyes and let it hit you And for what it's worth as a muso..I enjoyed looking for the heads up for that second break Was it the touch of the glasses...or the scratch of the chin...or the Tele player stepping up to the mic ? Dunno They're just great to watch and to listen to
@TokinMystic12 many of their titles go into that kind of direction, e.g.: "you don't know jesus" or "i'm jim morrison, i'm dead" or "you're lionel richie". especially the last two ones should give u an image how "serious" and carefully they choose their titles.
Mogwai is scotland, close your eyes n imagine the neds running about with a pit bull in slow mow n trakkys tucked nto his white socks n bottle of irn bru in his hand , lol ;)
Dont fear God, because God is inside of you. Fear Satan because he is your shadows, and the inner evil. Know Satan, talk with him and dont leave that he, turn off your god.
Several Mogwai songs have a funny? title... "Moses? I amn't", "I am not Batman", "Punk Rock/Puff Daddy/Antichrist", "Hunted By A Freak", "I love you, I'm going to blow up your school" "George Square Thatcher Death Party"...
Perhaps Satan was using sign language that day. Documentation can be spotty... some say he has a voice only dogs can hear, which really helps explain parts of 'The Omen'. I can't believe he's a minimalist, though... far too gaudy! "His return shall be heralded by diamond-encrusted Zany Zappers and a duck suit"
LOVE this!! The second best instrumental rocktune after The Music´s "No Danger"! Check it out if you like this one :) tjolahopsansa like Pippi Longstocking would say ;P
Future of the Left are doing a similar line in high quality song titles, including: "Fuck the Countryside Alliance", "Throwing Bricks at Trains", "You Need Satan More Than He Needs You", "Stand By Your Manatee", "My Gymnastic Past" and maybe my favourite, “Robocop 4: Fuck Off, Robocop.”
Не особо Сатан чувствуется. А ещё возникло стойкое ощущение дежавю, видимо из-за недавнего прослушивания God is an astronaut. Уж не знаю, кто у кого украл. Хотя у последних и богаче звук. Имхо
this is the greatest thing everyone will ever listen to on youtube.
How that comment only has 2 upvotes, I'll never know..
oh yeah!
Tun pa pa pa tun pa pa pa.. ❤
Probably
and pano rano
That moment when the guitars blast back in. One of live music's best moments hands down.
I know right!

it doesn't get any better than this.
saw these guys play this song back in 2003 in nyc, one of the best live performances ever!!!

HERMOSA!!!! no hay mas descripcion.... es HERMOSA!!!!!
This is the best live song I've ever seen and listened to. After two months I still remember each second of that amazing performance. That was Heaven down on earth.
This song always bring my happy childhood memories back when i listen it. I dunno why but it has very positive effect on me.
A pure MASTERPIECE
Simply outstanding....
This is best .. best composition so far from Mogwai
They closed with this last night in Utrecht. Just fucking stunning!
What a song... what a band!
Saw them live last night at The Regency in SF...this song blew my mind and my eardrums....amazing...
Same. Somewhere in my top concert moments of all time, really.
HOLY SHIT I'M SEEING THEM THIS FRIDAY.

Wow. And also I found this comment at 8:18 exactly which is really weird since you mentioned it in this comment. Sometimes I wonder about this song...
Finally! Real music. Holy hell.
Yes, yes it is
I can´t believe that in a month I will be doing the Dj Set before their show aaaaaAAAaaaa
todo esta ahi, todo lo que se quiere escuchar
i've just watched two seagulls eating a magpie outside my kitchen window with this on in the background
I am 8 years late but this is the best comment on youtube
Magpies Fear Seagulls
BLOWING MIND¡
My life is now complete.
@Anytime99
actually the song title is ''Mogwai Fear Satan''
Intense and consuming
No one's jumping off the stage or running around screaming
Just close yer eyes and let it hit you
And for what it's worth as a muso..I enjoyed looking for the heads up for that second break
Was it the touch of the glasses...or the scratch of the chin...or the Tele player stepping up to the mic ?
Dunno
They're just great to watch and to listen to
hell yea dude........
There's a video of Rano Pano where the radio guy asks them what's the pronunciation of "Rano Pano" and he says "Whatever, it's just noise".
Very true. it could even sound arrogant but is true.
My dad showed me this ❤ Beautiful...
Woah, 8:18 scared me! Lol
It is exactly how it should be IMO.
@TokinMystic12 many of their titles go into that kind of direction, e.g.: "you don't know jesus" or "i'm jim morrison, i'm dead" or "you're lionel richie". especially the last two ones should give u an image how "serious" and carefully they choose their titles.
Thank you Volvo XC60 for letting me drive from Spain to Portugal following the drums to this song without getting me my wife and dogs killed
Genius tune. Mogwai = frisson. On the other hand... aspect ratio..
8:17 YYEEEAAAHHH
@TokinMystic12
LOL no...the song title is just a song title...
Mogwai is scotland, close your eyes n imagine the neds running about with a pit bull in slow mow n trakkys tucked nto his white socks n bottle of irn bru in his hand , lol ;)
Spot on la (from liverpool with love)
Haha, but also imagine some rain swept moor. Works just as well.
How about Dial/Revenge? This was my introduction...
Yes, I believe you're right. That would have been an even better correction without the incorrect use of a semicolon.
they should soundtrack movies of david lynch
pink floyd's legacy...fucking amazing
Andreas Macropulos careful with that axe, Eugene
@TokinMystic12
yea...there aren't any lyrics anyways xd
Dont fear God, because God is inside of you. Fear Satan because he is your shadows, and the inner evil. Know Satan, talk with him and dont leave that he, turn off your god.
look at the bright side of life
How do I find out if there are subliminal messages in a song?
08:17: catharsis
whoever disliked this has no taste for music
If Neil Young and Crazy Horse had a love child by Tangerine Dream...genius.

@A Partsman I refuse to believe they're Scottish let alone Neds unless they're running around with a bottle of Bucky.

Im trying to be ironic, but my english is very poor.

No diference at so ever in between Mogwai and Creadle of filfth or M.Manson..
