wait, people, read my three posts ago here...which album should i purchase if i have never heard them before.

Gatsby · 09-02-2003, 08:20 PM

"Neither am i" is definately alot more melodic and chilled out... i would recommend that one as i still prefer it to "music in mouth" as an album

oh and i saw them first at the fair trade gig and been to see them 3 times since and they get better and better with each visit[img]smileys/smiley1.gif[/img]

tasha039 · 09-02-2003, 08:28 PM

thanks jeweller...

Loveless · 09-02-2003, 09:29 PM

Paul was asked about the many biblical references recently in an interview- "My next-door neighbour was a Methodist minister, and when I was really young he bought me a big Bible Stories for Children book, and I’ve always loved them. I’ve always loved the whole idea of the Garden of Eden and that beautifully simplistic world view it had. And the fact that people actually take it literally I find hilarious."

i.m.o. I'd recommend 'Music In Mouth' as the better of the two albums. It's just a much more coherent, uplifting piece of work.. Have seen Bell X1 play twelve times now heh hehEdited by: Loveless

Didnt realiseBell X1 had started touring 'Kyrgyzstan' just yet!![img]smileys/smiley2.gif[/img]Have they a big following there???

daol20 · 09-03-2003, 10:27 AM

Andtasha, you should just get'em both! You'll probably end up doing that anyway when you hear how good one is.

tasha039 · 09-03-2003, 01:04 PM

okay...thank you daol20

daol20 · 09-05-2003, 08:56 AM

Has anyone got any BellX1 bootlegs?? Ive got Slowset from the Make Trade Fair - Vicar st. 15/04/03 and thats it! I have both albums but i'd love to get my hands on some live stuff.

What about you Jeweller i know you've gotta have some!!??[img]smileys/smiley2.gif[/img]

administrator · 09-05-2003, 08:56 AM

bell x1 were on rattlebag yesterday. so you can listen to them play three songs online.

Angela · 09-05-2003, 09:10 AM

Are they much different live?

daol20 · 09-05-2003, 01:59 PM

Saw them at Witnness and they were great! Wish i'd have known all of their stuff as well as i do now. Kinda only really got into them after seeing them live. I had "Neither Am I" but never really listened to it. Now the two albums are never off my radio. I'd have to say they're not much different live. Although i always prefer a live preformance over an album, any day!. They're as chilled and mellow as they sound in their albums. Maybe Jeweller or other bigger fans would disagree though.......

Angela · 09-05-2003, 02:34 PM

I have "Neither Am I" but had a lackluster reaction to it. I just got "Music In Mouth", but have listened to it only once, so I can't say anything yet.

I had a hunch they'd be similar live.

*waits for jeweller to jump in* [img]smileys/smiley17.gif[/img]

daol20 · 09-05-2003, 02:55 PM

.....any second now!.........[img]smileys/smiley17.gif[/img]

Angela · 09-05-2003, 04:12 PM

jeweller, you OK??? [img]smileys/smiley5.gif[/img] [img]smileys/smiley5.gif[/img] [img]smileys/smiley5.gif[/img]

*looks under table*

administrator · 09-05-2003, 05:46 PM

They can be great when they're chilled and mellow but the last time I saw them, which was a few weeks ago in Cork, they blew me away. They really rocked the place and reminded me of U2 for the first time. Paul, the singer, was especially great. They deserve to be huge.

Aisling · 09-05-2003, 06:12 PM

pity you didnt see the clon gig....[img]smileys/smiley19.gif[/img]

i also enjoyed them very much so. id recommend their music to everybody

Sionna · 09-07-2003, 05:14 PM

Their dolans gig was class.Neither am I is prob still my fave of the two.I've seen them live twice and its sooo much better live,especially when paul starts swinging his arms about during white water song.Have to agree with Ais,Brians yummy![img]smileys/smiley2.gif[/img]

Come on people!!

Gatsby · 09-10-2003, 12:24 PM

sorry lads i havent been able to touch a keyboard in the last ages due to life being very busy and becoming an honourary alcoholic...

In responce to your first post daol yes i know of a few bootlegs... theres some on www.irishmusiccentral.com from a gig in TBMC the others i could send to u via ftp or over msn or something...

I think they are totally amazing live and it cant be captured on CD how good they really are... The last time i saw them in the village i was blown away even tho i had seen them twice before that... they dont try to change the sounds of songs or if they do it isnt as noticable...

Paul is an amazing frontman... and to think that when Damien left Juniper they said there wasnt a frontman among the band... how wrong were they?

and the best of the 2 albums for me is still "Neither Am I" as a whole the album is so reflective altho at times i just really wanna rock out to "Music in mouth"

fav 3 songs - Tongue, Alphabet soup, Beautifull Madness

daol20 · 09-11-2003, 09:34 AM

Good man Simon! I'll be intouch about those bootlegs!

My Revelate · 09-11-2003, 09:39 AM

If any hadn't noticed Damo's version of tongue uses the very same chords as "Insane".It sounds pretty good though[img]smileys/smiley4.gif[/img]

Sionna · 09-15-2003, 09:42 AM

Yeah ill c ur heart is addictive.Has anyone seen the tongue video?its pretty class for an irish band,should have had the rest of the band in it though.

Gatsby · 09-15-2003, 11:18 AM

you'd be happy if it was just Brian in the video[img]smileys/smiley17.gif[/img]

But yeah its quite a brilliant video... pinball machine is also an equally good video

Loveless · 09-15-2003, 04:50 PM

yes Bell X1 are a rockin' live band now. they used to have more quiet songs when Neither Am I came out and Paul was sitting behind the drums and singing. but now they've got a seperate drummer and Paul is out front doing the whole frontman thing and they're great live.

Uno- X · 09-16-2003, 04:41 AM

god everbody's talkin about them. I HAVEN'T heard them. that's wehat you get if live in a crao land like this you peops just can't imagine how much i envy you right now. If I had a mate from ireland I'd be down on my knees beggin that person to pop their songs on a CD for me. Dammit. that's it I'm moving to Dublin.

administrator · 09-16-2003, 08:23 AM

you've got lots of friends in ireland. send me your address by e-mail or private message and i'll try get it to you. but you have to promote them in latvia then.

Sionna · 09-16-2003, 03:43 PM

Yeah spread the word!You know me too well Simon,havent seen the pinball machine video,I only saw the tongue video cause its on the single.
