Anyone else a fan of Metric?

 

I don't want else to say apart from how AMAZING they are!

There is a quite a nice little group of Metric fans on here, Emily Haines is even a member.

I'm also a fan of this band.

 

My favorite Metric albums are Old World Underdround, Where Are You Now? & Fantasies. In fact, I like almost all their songs, even that Twilight theme "Eclipse (All Yours)". The side project Emily Haines & The Soft Skeleton is also great.

 

Metric are also a brilliant live band. Check for example this live version of "Gold Guns Girls" (Jimmy Kimmel Live 2010):

 

 

That's a fkg great guitar solo!

Haven't been listening that much to Metric. Gold Guns Girls and Help I'm Alive are brilliant songs though! Guess they are the most 'famous' songs. Perhaps I should listen to some their other material. Like them.

Metric's most popular songs are:

 

Dead Disco

 

 

 

 

Combat Baby

 

 

 

 

Monster Hospital

 

 

 

 

Empty

 

 

 

 

Help I'm Alive

 

 

 

 

Gimme Sympathy

 

 

 

 

Eclipse (All Yours)

 

 

 

 

...and a very special album track is Hustle Rose, possibly their best song. Metric play this song on almost every show. It's fabulous! :wub:

 

Don't forget Poster Of A Girl! It was a big one from Live It Out.

Actually I wanted to put one of these songs: "Empty" or "Poster of a Girl". "Poster..." is one of my fave Metric singles but "Empty" is a bit more popular. ^_^

 

Another amazing song with an amazing video is "Collect Call" (an album track from Fantasies):

 

 

 

 

And finally, if you have some free time (~43min.) watch this live sessions at KCRW Radio (2009): http://www.kcrw.com/media-player/mediaPlay...=mb090608metric

LOVE them! Stumbled across them at Leeds festival 2 years ago. Monster Hospital and Stadium Love are my favourite songs :wub:
Love them, Raw Sugar is my favourite, but pretty much the whole GUABA album is amazing. Soft Rock Star remix :wub:
