First time I heard this song was on burnout 3 in 2014, and now I'm listening to it in 2022 on cyberpunk edgerunners, I'm really glad this song is still being recognized.

I love this song. When I use to play Burnout 3, when this song came on I use to drive faster, harder and more aggressive. I think this song actually is what made me win most of those races.
I would always think about how this song made the race better Easily my favorite song thanks to burnout 3 So happy I got to Experience that great game I still play it Many Years later
Right!? I didn’t expect to get nostalgic while watching this show. That original self titled album and “Hot Fuss” by the Killers defined grade 8 for me.
My mouth dropped when the first episode of Cyberpunk ended. I couldn't believe that they'd use an obscure almost 20 yr old song. I loved listening to Franz Ferdinand back in Middle school.
What do you mean obscure. This song was really popular like 20 years ago. Same with others songs from Franz Ferdinand. As a mater of fact this was not the first Franz Ferdinand song to be used in an anime
2005: whats up guys its me dj stryker here comin up to the world of crashing cars and fun mayhem in burnout 3. 2022: whats up guys today its the day of night city. we're gonna play an opening theme song of which i know this song from an old ps2 racing game that make childhood real.
I grew up listening to Franz Ferdinand since kid, I remembered recommending this band to my friends who watched animes and were fans of a Japanese band The Oral Cigarettes (which I was quite familiar with their early alternative/post-punk sound). Never thought I'll ever see the day this song being used as OP theme for an anime, life goes full circle eh?😁
@@patrickgo2394 Sorry, I've replied you the same reply as dude above earlier on, but I didn't realize it got shadowbanned for no particular reason until I checked it.
The fact that TRIGGER omitted the "Burn this city!" part is such a damned good piece of narrative. You can try and burn the city (Night City) but instead you'll be the one being burned. You can't burn hell.
I actually find it a shitty choice, since the famous quote from Keanu was literally "we have a city to burn" and it carries the hype for the franchise until it's release
I love how a new medium can give literally any song a new context. Literally any song can be used for a different context and itll 100% change the perception of it. Love the creativity in the world.
Feel so proud and glad for Franz Ferdinand, it was such a shame how such an amazing band lost influence over the years. Even when this song was already a hit in the Burnout 3 OST EdgeRunners is amazing and this band too. Welcome newcomers!!, please feel free to explore other Franz Ferdinand songs after you finish this one, you won't be dissapointed!!
they probably lost influence in today's music era, but many indie bands all across the world in mid 2000s until early 2010s are taking influences from Franz Ferdinand. For a time, Franz Ferdinand was the king.
It's curious that there are some words in russian in that video, here is what I can see: 0:15 you can see the word ПИВО on the wall - that means BEER 0:41 IПОУЕУНЫЙ ПИРОГ (top-left): The first word is a set of random letters, there is no such word in russian language.

Franz Ferdinand takes after post punk bands of the 70s and 80s (Most notably Gang of Four), and those bands in turn borrowed their aesthetic presentation from 1920s era constructivist art, so this is a continuation of that.
When I'm going through the comment sections of songs on TH-cam, I see people talking about the music obviously, but nobody ever talks about the music video it seems. The music video can really add to the song and I think this is a great example. I think this is one of the best music videos; just the aesthetic and visuals are so creative and cool.

Dude where has this song been all my life, I'm so glad "Cyberpunk Edgerunners" choose this song as an opener because if they hadn't. I would've never known about it. Thank you "Studio Trigger" ❤️🔥
One of my favorite Franz songs!! It was really great discovering their sound as a teenager, the experience amplified their music for me. I still hold them very dear to my heart.
besides Edgerunner, this song's in Burnout Revenge, a racing game of mad destruction and street racing in super speed that's highly regarded by the racing community, as much as Need For Speed Most Wanted 2005. So yea, you might really wanna bench press a car with this music.
I love how the album version is different from the video is different from every single live performance is different from every other live performance of this song.
This was a rerecording they did for the single release a few months after the album came out I believe. Aside from this video this version is typically called "This Fffire"
I’m glad this song is being appreciated on a big scale once again! I remember listening to this song back in middle school when it came on MTV during the morning runs of new songs. Even back then, when this song came out it was mega 🔥
I remember listening to this song when I was in elementary school. My dad would drive me to speech therapy everyday after school and always have the radio on. Sometimes this song would play in the radio and I was always excited whenever it came on! It was so catchy af! I lost my shit when I heard it being the op song for Cyberpunk Edgerunners! It brought back so many memories!
today I learned a number of these guys had no idea how to play their instruments when they first started this group, and it makes my brain hurt. they're so good
I never got into Franz Ferdinand, so I was surprised to find out this is an original song and wasn’t created specifically for Edgerunners. It fits so well.
Had the most surreal experience with this song... I had went with some friends to a concert of Franz Ferdinand where they closed with this song only to be watching the new Cyberpunk Edgerunners anime today and hearing it there too :O Lit band and song!
holy shit I just realised that Trigger chose this song for their opening because of the "Burn this city" verse in the song, which is just totally similar to Johnny Silverhand's quote "We got a city to burn" Omg what genius
As a fan of anime and as a fan of Franz Ferdinand I hadn't expected to see what I saw in the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners title sequence... but I really dig it!
I love Franz Ferdinand so much dude lmao. I'm glad they reworked this from their first try on the album. Everything about it feels... incendiary. The cymbals, the chords, the long screeches in the background. It's definitely a song about burning, literally and sexually. FF really are not talked about nearly enough. Not only did both Daft Punk and Justice remix their tracks, but their music is used in two different anime series now. FF and The White Stripes are like the two names that come to mind when I think of the post-punk revival era.
As a Japanese, I thought the lyrics" I'll burn it, I, I, I'll burn it down "sounded like" 暴れたい" (I wanna run rumpage). I thought it somehow fit the cyberpunk worldview and also expressed David's emotions. Sorry for the deepl translation.
When this song came up at the end of the first episode of Edgerunners i was hooked. Whoever decided to add this song got good taste. Haven't listened to Franz Ferdinand in so long.
A band that can provide short intro songs, but these songs actually are better in full. Normally its the other way around, so lets be thankful for this lit song.
Exactly and you commented 11 years ago but since 2008 I still play the game till today and I have only one race too complete too finish the game but I don’t wanna finish the game I still wanna enjoy playing around for the nostalgia🥲
Franz Ferdinand in Dark of the Matinee: Haha old movies and dancing in class Franz Ferdinand in This Fire: The Dystopia is here, totalitarianism rules all
Ive known this song for a long time. My brother used to love Franz Ferdinand. Then I heard it in Burnout 3, then in Edgerunners. Glad to see this banger is still alive and noticed.
I'm here for Cyberpunk Edgerunners and Burnout 3 Takedown,a great combination in both,even though they are very different in very aspects,a chaotic city,and a chaotic race, nothing better than this legendary combination
Not the first Franz Ferdinand song I've heard used in an anime (I remember one of their songs used as the ED for Paradise Kiss, which I watched as a teenager), but it makes for a surprisingly great anime opening and I'm glad more people are getting introduced to the band from Cyberpunk Edgerunners. I honestly hope for anime use older songs or songs from other countries, since they're almost always make for good or at least interesting OPs/EDs.
This album came out when I was 24. This song and Take Me Out were perfection! I'd love to see a resurgence of post-punk revival garage style bands. I miss this genre. The Killers, The Strokes, Arctic Monkeys, The White Stripes and Franz.... The chef's kiss!
I thought you were talking the song about take me out somewhere nice by mogwai (which are also glagow based) also really recommend to listen to their song glasgow mega-snake also really suggest to listen to temporex - nice boys and nesicha by uzi navon not the same vibe but still worth checking
i saw them live and i have to say that is was the best show i ever seen, they are mind blowing and i saw great bands like Oasis, Radiohead or Blur live and there is no comparation.
Eyes, boring a way into me Eyes , Destroying so sweetly Now there is a fire in me A fire that burns This fire is out of control I'm gonna to burn this city, burn this city This fire is out of control I'm gonna to burn this city, burn this city This fire is out of control This fire is out of control This fire is out of control and I burn Eyes burning the way through me Paralyse, controlling completely Now there is a fire in me A fire that burns This fire is out of control I'm gonna to burn this city, burn this city This fire is out of control I'm gonna to burn this city, burn this city This fire is out of control Then I'm, I'm out of control and I burn Oh, how I burn for you Burn, oh, how I burn for you Burn, how I burn How I burn, oh, how I burn This fire is out of control I'm gonna to burn this city, burn this city This fire is out of control I'm gonna to burn this city, burn this city This fire is out of control We're gonna to burn this city, burn this city This fire is out of control We're gonna to burn it, I'll burn it, I, I, I'll burn it down
Glad to see this song opening up more horizons for people. I've been listening to this band for 4 years. Every time you listen to them its candy for your ears.
When I heard this song in the OP for Edgerunners I was a bit disappointed when I didn't hear "This fire is out of control, I'm gonna burn this city" Felt like that line would fit the show the most.
I can't believe this is 20 years old 😅 it feels like yesterday when it came out. And I can't believe that after 20 years I'll be finally able to see them live in November 🥹
Lmao when I heard this song on Cyberpunk Edgerunners I was like "Massive Franz Ferdinand vibes, god damn" Then I find out that this song is 12 YEARS OLD and from their debut. Amazing.
Yo solía escuchar Franz Ferdinand cuando adolescente pero hace muchos años que dejé de seguirlos, gracias a Cyberpunk me provocó volver a oír sus geniales canciones, recuerdo lo mucho que disfrutaba su música. Son geniales.
First time I heard this song was on burnout 3 in 2014, and now I'm listening to it in 2022 on cyberpunk edgerunners, I'm really glad this song is still being recognized.
Thats how I knew it from the first episode. Brought back burnout 3 vibes haha. I was like this a perfect intro to a series. I'm hooked.
Same!
It already had like 4 million veiws before cyberpunk anime

just go my old xbox out and been playing burnout 3, song goes perfectly without.
wow 2 decades later i'm knowing this song was also the theme song of a cd projekt red game cyberpunk netflix anime series...
nice taste
It's the conviction in how he says, "There is a fire in me," that really sells the song for me.
Then he explains what kind of fire, specifically. The kind that burns.
@@Guurzak you see in Scotland sometimes the fire just doesnt burn. Its too wet and miserable so it gives up ynow. Only passionate fire burns here 😂
I started watching cyberpunk today and I was so suprised to hear that they used this song! I haven't heard it in soooo long
Right!? I didn’t expect to get nostalgic while watching this show. That original self titled album and “Hot Fuss” by the Killers defined grade 8 for me.
Glad I'm not the only one getting a reminder
Same here I used to listen to them during my edgy days but stopped then I saw cyberpunk with my dad and I recognized the song right away
I hadn't heard it since Burnout 3.

Thank Rafal Jaki, the showrunner from CDPR (has left the studio since), he picked the song for the OP, not Akira Yamaoka.

0:41 IПОУЕУНЫЙ ПИРОГ (top-left): The first word is a set of random letters, there is no such word in russian language. Maybe this one is from another slavic language. But the second one is russian, ПИРОГ means PIE
0:42 ПИВО and ФУТБОЛ below. ПИВО means BEER as you already know, and ФУТБОЛ means SOCCER
0:47 you can see the word ПИСЬМО on the bottom-left, that means LETTER (message). ГИПНО on the top-right means HYPNO as part of Hypnosis I guess

1:05 ПИРОГ (Pie), ШЕРЛОК ХОЛМС (Sherlock Holmes), ФУТБОЛ (Soccer)
So a lot of common British stuff, dressed up in a Soviet-era Russian aesthetic.
Сначала, когда я увидел Поуеуный пирог, я подумал у меня инсульт.

The constructivism art in this piece is amazing
Franz Ferdinand takes after post punk bands of the 70s and 80s (Most notably Gang of Four), and those bands in turn borrowed their aesthetic presentation from 1920s era constructivist art, so this is a continuation of that.

An alternate future that diverged near the end of the Cold War, but still.
😳😨 THAT REALLY SCARED ME, IT JUST CAUSED ME TO PANIC!!!
The Cyberpunk anime had AMAZING musical style and its clear to see by just the opening 🙌
As a graphic designer I love this video, as a musician I love this song. Perfect!

X2
The rest of Franz Ferdinand's songs are bangers as well. Try listening to the one they used for Paradise Kiss, also an anime.
Funny that Rafal Jaki (creator of edgerunners) just typed in youtube "song about city" and thats how he found this song for opening
If you haven't, check out another great one from that same album called Take Me Out. Fits perfectly with Cyberpunk Edgerunners as well!
One of my favorite Franz songs!! It was really great discovering their sound as a teenager, the experience amplified their music for me. I still hold them very dear to my heart.

I thought it somehow fit the cyberpunk worldview and also expressed David's emotions.
Sorry for the deepl translation.
Well it does state "this fire is out of control, it's gonna burn this city" as David is getting burned up after his mother passed.
They even just delete "this city" from the lyrics in the Cyberpunk opening because you can't burn the city. It burns you down instead.
It couldn't be more fitting, that's super cool. Originally I thought the line was "I'm burning down" which also works well.
Abure, abure, abure, abureda! Strangely perfect for a Engerish translation.

"You don't say" Would've fit better.
to you, maybe, but for me...that's a different story
you dont say
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners - perfect song to use 👌
oh shit, i thought i recognized this song lol
PVカッコ良すぎる
なんでオシャレなんだ…
Ive known this song for a long time. My brother used to love Franz Ferdinand. Then I heard it in Burnout 3, then in Edgerunners. Glad to see this banger is still alive and noticed.
This song never ceases to make me happy and want to jump around
I'm here for Cyberpunk Edgerunners and Burnout 3 Takedown,a great combination in both,even though they are very different in very aspects,a chaotic city,and a chaotic race, nothing better than this legendary combination
The second i heard it on the end of first ep i was so surprised
Cyberpunk series was so good ESP if u played the game then it hit even more
interesting,i wasn't sure if the game was good because of the bugs,but now i will definitely give a try
I first came to this video cuz of my burnout nostalgia, funny how I'm back here again cuz of edgerunner
What a weird time to be alive
It blew my mind to hear one of my favorite bands showing up as the opening song in one of the best anime I've seen in years. What a trip.
Not the first Franz Ferdinand song I've heard used in an anime (I remember one of their songs used as the ED for Paradise Kiss, which I watched as a teenager), but it makes for a surprisingly great anime opening and I'm glad more people are getting introduced to the band from Cyberpunk Edgerunners. I honestly hope for anime use older songs or songs from other countries, since they're almost always make for good or at least interesting OPs/EDs.
This album came out when I was 24. This song and Take Me Out were perfection! I'd love to see a resurgence of post-punk revival garage style bands. I miss this genre. The Killers, The Strokes, Arctic Monkeys, The White Stripes and Franz.... The chef's kiss!
@Samuel Powell Thank you! I'll definitely check them out. I'm always looking for artists of this genre
I thought you were talking the song about take me out somewhere nice by mogwai (which are also glagow based) also really recommend to listen to their song glasgow mega-snake also really suggest to listen to temporex - nice boys and nesicha by uzi navon not the same vibe but still worth checking
Totally agree Jamie, we need another retro revolution kinda like people did with 80's music and synths but for alt rock/pop
Don't forget Interpol, Bloc Party, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The National, and The Hives
@@SOMeDoOD1992 The Strokes' recent album is everything you wanted.
Lo mejor del corona capital 2019 fue Franz Ferdinand 😍
Burnout Takedown 3 and Cyberpunk Edgerunners ♥😎
Literally the most "radical youth" combination possible, with this song!
Great band with a really distinct sound. Love it.
This played on Spotify today in the gym 💪🏻 and I realized I haven’t heard this song since the mid 2000s. Holy crap. I missed this band.
i saw them live and i have to say that is was the best show i ever seen, they are mind blowing and i saw great bands like Oasis, Radiohead or Blur live and there is no comparation.
Damn that is high praise indeed.
The way the cut the "burn this city" part in the anime opening
really show that no one stand a chance to night city
One of the best concerts i've ever been. Thanks from Bulgaria
its really hard to believe that this song just has 11 million views, crazy! the definition of being slept on istg
I saw them back in 2019 and I can surely say it was one of the best experiences of my life.
Great musicians, great performance, great energy! ♥️
Saw this song live in Montreal as a finale. It. Was. Amazing.
Why are all their videos so high production ? that's amazing
The anime industry loves Franz Ferdinand for some reason.
Eyes, boring a way into me
Eyes
, Destroying so sweetly
Now there is a fire in me
A fire that burns
This fire is out of control
I'm gonna to burn this city, burn this city
This fire is out of control
I'm gonna to burn this city, burn this city
This fire is out of control
This fire is out of control
This fire is out of control
and I burn
Eyes burning the way through me
Paralyse, controlling completely
Now there is a fire in me
A fire that burns
This fire is out of control
I'm gonna to burn this city, burn this city
This fire is out of control
I'm gonna to burn this city, burn this city
This fire is out of control
Then I'm, I'm out of control and I burn
Oh, how I burn for you
Burn, oh, how I burn for you
Burn, how I burn
How I burn, oh, how I
burn
This fire is out of control
I'm gonna to burn this city, burn this city
This fire is out of control
I'm gonna to burn this city, burn this city
This fire is out of control
We're gonna to burn this city, burn this city
This fire is out of control
We're gonna to burn it, I'll burn it, I, I, I'll burn it down
Thanks
Thank you kind sir
Loved this when I was a kid, now that it's the Cyberpunk anime opening, I love it even more!
As a kid this used to play on burnout 3 lol now I'm back here again cuz of edgerunner
Glad to see this song opening up more horizons for people. I've been listening to this band for 4 years. Every time you listen to them its candy for your ears.
Проснулась в 3 часа ночи. В голове играет мелодия. Потратила всё оставшееся для сна время, чтобы её найти... Зато довольная слушаю теперь))))
счастливо
а что её искать? качаешь саундтрек сериала и там она
@@Dmitriy88S какого сериала?
@@nanachi_isoky Edgerunners
When I heard this song in the OP for Edgerunners I was a bit disappointed when I didn't hear
"This fire is out of control, I'm gonna burn this city"
Felt like that line would fit the show the most.
It was foreshadowing.
He didn't burn the city with his passion.
The city withstands it while the fire burns him from the inside out.
kid in the 2000s: plays burnout 3
kid in the 2020s: watch cyberpunk when my parents weren't around
Me alegra que más gente este descubriendo está gran banda gracias a Ciber punk ✨
Quien lo diria que vine por plata y encuentro oro
Yo estoy el triple de feliz porque los conocí por el ending de Paradise Kiss pero con cyberpunk tendrán más auge
I found out around the time of Burnout 3 takedown
Also Guitar Hero
Puro Otaku lo descubren por esa madre
Los verdaderos lo descubrieron por burnout 3 XD
I can't believe this is 20 years old 😅 it feels like yesterday when it came out. And I can't believe that after 20 years I'll be finally able to see them live in November 🥹
Lmao when I heard this song on Cyberpunk Edgerunners I was like "Massive Franz Ferdinand vibes, god damn"
Then I find out that this song is 12 YEARS OLD and from their debut. Amazing.
Debut is from 2004. Very mid-00s
I genuinely love this song and am so glad it's getting love thanks to cyberpunk
one of the most memorable songs from the concert I saw, had everyone yelling burn this city
Cyberpunk Edgerunners made me fall in love with this song.
I love it when anime studios uses English music in their anime
Can't blame anime because the game from American... So studio my a little follow idea from the game
@@therattrap1997 no I actually do like it. I wish more studio would use English music in anime OPs and Ed's
JoJo always use western song as their ED
also this is the 2nd time FF featured in anime, the 1st was Paradise Kiss ED
@@therattrap1997 you mean from polish
@@oldcowbb wait... from polish... i didn't knew that
Yo solía escuchar Franz Ferdinand cuando adolescente pero hace muchos años que dejé de seguirlos, gracias a Cyberpunk me provocó volver a oír sus geniales canciones, recuerdo lo mucho que disfrutaba su música. Son geniales.
Jaja, por la misma razon los estoy volviendo a escuchar, ya tenía un buen rato de no ori su musica
Me pasó igual. Ha pasado mucho tiempo xD
yo los conoci gracias a cyberpunk god anime y god musica
Yo los escucho desde los 10 años, en 2004
X2 lol
He was truly ahead of his time
... The archduke of Austria?
2077
Burnout 3 was ahead of it's time
2076
from the dying embers of the last era of when rock and roll bands were popular in the mainstream
