Stop comparing the two bands people. Two different musical universes. And don't judge Mogwai until you have stood in front of them playing live and felt the gargantuan sound inside your bones. Mogwai are amazing.
Saw them two times, great music! I´m 65 now, and i saw two hundred or more concerts since my lifetime(from Beach Boys to Jimi Hendrix, from Jethro Tull to Pink Floyd and so many others), but if i must made a ranking, Mogwai was at the top ten!
Omg, where have I been the last 30 years! This is awesome in and of itself. No comparison to anything!! Perfectly lovely! Wish to know more of this Mogwai!
My first CD was Ride the Lightening when i was 11, listening to Metallica growing up made it hard to choose Mogwai (whom i had only heard a few tracks on youtube). It was best decision i made going to watch these on the Park stage they were Electrifying. Some silly comments knocking about - how do you know if you were never there?
Mogwai have this shirt with 'Blur: Are Shite' too. Hahaha it wasn't the first time they picked on other bands, maybe they just don't like people. I have neutral thoughts on Metallica, but yeah, as Barry said, Lars is mediocre. The rest are just fine.
They are prophets of the music of the future. Unfortunately they are not as widely known as they would diserve because people are still too much attached to rock to go beyond it but I'm sure they will eventually be rediscovered in a not too distant future!
Can't speak for swans but Motorpsycho = WIN I remember finding the song "Vortex Surfer" for the first time and being like..."HOW IS THIS SO GOOD?!" HAHAHAHA
What does this have to do with a pissing contest between Metallica and Mogwai I don't know, I tried to read a few comments to gather a sense of whats going on here, but alas, I gave up after a few! Both names start with an M, that's about it, if you wanna compare them. It stops there. What was going on ? They were playing some festival with Metallica, and they called them shite? Well, I have to agree, Metallica has put out shite after shite records for a while now. Im sure Mogwai was taking the piss though, even if the band don't like the later stuff, I mean anyone who dares play heavy music in indebted to Metallica one way or another, aware or not. I mean, come on, one has to be pretty stupid not to acknowledge the influence the first 4-5 Metallica records had on anyone messing around with distortion pedals that came after. I'm pretty sure Mogwai loves Metallica, but just like most fans, they think they are shite nowadays, well because, they are indeed shite nowadays.
Um... nope. Mogwai excel at what they're doing (but the latest album is rather an experimentation), imo. And as for metal, it's Iron Maiden. Or Motörhead.
Had to watch this after the Metallica comments, laughable to think you are worthy of even tuning Kirks guitar let alone being far better musicians, for your information, Kirk is classically trained and was a student of the late great Randy Rhodes, this music sends me to sleep, its bland and as I dont take drugs does not appeal to me in any way, this really is for dopeheads and no hopers!!
First off, Hammett's training is essentially irrelevant because nothing he plays is actually of any interest. Sloppy scales with wah... It doesn't matter that Satriani trained him, because all he plays are the same pentatonic licks. You clearly are ignorant to the musicianship of electronica and post-rock music, so I'll leave that alone. As somebody who isn't a "dopehead" or "no hoper," I would take Mogwai over Metallica any day. I'd rather immerse myself into quality atmospheric music than sit through the world's sloppiest metal band.
My bad. Just trying to acknowledge that other genres besides metal also have artistic merit... Rather hear focused music than Hammett bullshit through over a solo any day.
Tom Whaley My comment wasn't directed at you bud, but the twat who posted saying that they 'had to watch...' etc etc. Mogwai are one of my favourite bands, Metallica can take a long walk afaic.
Anyone who says something like that and uses a term like "atmospheric music" (it's up there on the atmosphere, or something?), doesn't really understand much about music nor seems to like music.
"Atmospheric music" is made by people who dont understand..... bla bla bla stop with your pseudo-intellectual garbage, dont like? dont come here, loser

for real that sound washes over you with much force.
Thanks Shannon - exactly what needed to be said.
Shannon Trottman there sick, saw em at lattitude
Saw them in Liverpool about 14 years ago ish....blew me away (aerial m where the support act :)
2o years ago @thefoundry B'ham (aerial m were support too :)
Saw them for a third time in 10 years, in Philadelphia in May, they were better than ever. Their concert was a spiritual experience
I just saw them live in Philly (Theatre of Living Arts) day before yesterday. Did you go to that show as well, by any chance?

Amazing band! Makes me very happy to see them on the BBC
Omg, where have I been the last 30 years! This is awesome in and of itself. No comparison to anything!! Perfectly lovely! Wish to know more of this Mogwai!
Fucking Amazing band. Brilliant album.
Gonna see Mogwai live concert tomorrow.. Rock&Roll into Helllllllllll!
This song is transcendent.
Scotlands gem
I was stood behind them in the security queue at Manilla airport a year ago. Heck, I was right in front of them in Cambridge only a few months before.
Amazing
I was there and believe me it was fucking outrageously great
This is one of their best new live pieces.

that is amazzzing good
Grande música para despertar pela manhã, quando não temos uma DJ por perto!
Recomendo ouvir a 82dB!
muy bueno¡¡
Not one phone, epic...
Los veo en Primavera Fauna sí o sí
Is that a Metallica shirt Martin's wearing at 4:46? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Mogwai have this shirt with 'Blur: Are Shite' too. Hahaha it wasn't the first time they picked on other bands, maybe they just don't like people. I have neutral thoughts on Metallica, but yeah, as Barry said, Lars is mediocre. The rest are just fine.
droidcube Yep I know, I know. They're not even serious at naming songs, so why should take another bands seriously lol

You're comparing apples and onions together, people. Mogwai and Metallica are two very different styles of music here.
How about everyone enjoys the music they like, regardless of who dislikes who?
göttlich
Sometimes Life is simple. Like the Holy Trinity in Music: Swans, Motorpsycho and Mogwai.
Can't speak for swans but Motorpsycho = WIN
I remember finding the song "Vortex Surfer" for the first time and being like..."HOW IS THIS SO GOOD?!" HAHAHAHA
Drums kinda remind me of portishead machine gun
Wearing a METALLICA SHIrT.
Touche!...
veeeery post rock.
Mogwai > Metallica
Metallica was a great band but they haven't put out anything worthwhile since '88.
Mogwai killed Glastonbury that night! Metallica was just there.
😂 nice joke
The level of ignorance spread across the internet is a sight to behold.
Metallica are bored millionaires 'nuff said.
Like The Beatles? Everyone gets old.

pls compare Mogwai and Metallica, it satisfies me
Jerry Hsu
Yes!
Metallica are the natural evolution of the metal world, kind of Kylie Mongue pop chart crap, Mogwai are the natural evolution of the post Floyd World.
Miles better Shitellica!
& they have the gall to call metallica shite ?
Compared to Metallica they'll always be small-time.
But they will always be better.
Um... nope. Mogwai excel at what they're doing (but the latest album is rather an experimentation), imo. And as for metal, it's Iron Maiden. Or Motörhead.
If you judge music based on popularity then you're doing it all wrong. Listen to who you think sounds good, not who has more fans or more money.
Even the "dry" audience was happy after they stopped playing their shitty noise.🤣

Success with your career in corporate finance!

Paul Harris haha whoops. Okay! Sorry for thinking it was. Sometimes the intentions of these comments can get a little confusing!
"Atmospheric music" is made by people who dont understand the concept of melody...its hipster wannabe music....sad but true
Anyone who says something like that and uses a term like "atmospheric music" (it's up there on the atmosphere, or something?), doesn't really understand much about music nor seems to like music.
Kinda shity way to defend your limitations, melody is only something to overcome
"Atmospheric music" is made by people who dont understand..... bla bla bla stop with your pseudo-intellectual garbage, dont like? dont come here, loser
Concept of melody? So melody has no atmosphere in you're terms? And vice versa? This must be the stupidest comment I've ever seen on youtube.
What an astoundingly stupid comment
