Some time around the end of 2001, Bob was sitting in Alex's
kitchen. Alex had just been given a bass by his friend
Mick, on the condition that he did 'something useful' with
it.

"Do you want to learn to play the bass then, Bob?"
"No, I'm an artist, not a musician."
"It's the same thing."
"OK then."

So Bob learned the bass and they planned a band. It had to
be something big. Bob wanted it to be on the level of Field
Marshall Haig's tears that fell as he counted the
statistics of the men he had sent over the top. Alex wanted
to make music that girls could dance to.

Alex met Nick in Jo and Celias' kitchen. Nick was dressed
like a young Adam Ant and was stealing Alex's Vodka. They
were about to batter each others brains in when Alex asked
if he could play drums. Nick lied an More...

    Review about Franz Ferdinand

    Thank the Gods | Reviewer: Jean Roberts
        ------ About the album Franz Ferdinand performed by Franz Ferdinand

    When I discovered Franz Ferdinand it was like when I dicovered the Beatles. For me, they are right up there with some of the greatest bands ever. I can never get enough. They are amazing and fresh. It's nice to have them when everything today sounds the same. I thank the gods for Franz Ferdinand.


    great song from great britain's greatest band | Reviewer: dude
        ------ About the song Walk Away performed by Franz Ferdinand

    To Mr. anonymous, Franz ferdinand is a scottish band but scotland is constituent country within the united kingdom, so they are a UK and scottish band, so what KonF said was correct. plus most of the members of the group were born in england, jesus learn some geography.


    Why? | Reviewer: Andrew
        ------ About the song Auf Achse performed by Franz Ferdinand

    Ha! The first time I listened to this song I didn't really understand the lyrics all that well... But I listened to it so many times afterward that I finally almost memorized the entire song. Not long after that I fell in love with the women hard. She was married and we flirted together for awhile and our feelings for each other grew. And now this song really hits home with me... especially the "Now I'm nailed above you" part. Anyways... don't listen to this song while depressed over a girl... it just makes you feel worse. >_<


    who knows | Reviewer: tori
        ------ About the song Take Me Out performed by Franz Ferdinand

    So this song is incredible!! i'm not exactly sure if it's about assassination, a guy hitting on a girl he knows he can't get, or a creative combo of both but you people need to get your facts straight on the real franz ferdinand. The archduke's death was an assassination and he was killed when he was in a car but the person who killed him attempted to earier that day and failed so later, when they saw the archduke, he succeeded in killing him. And yes, it sparked ww1. i can't help but believe they may be hinting at that, especially because of the band's name but maybe the song is not entirely about that. I guess the only way of knowing would be to hear it straight from the horses mouth. in the meantime, great song!!


    Brillint Third Album | Reviewer: Evie
        ------ About the album Tonight: Franz Ferdinand performed by Franz Ferdinand

    This album was brilliant. The songs are a lot more dancey, Franz Ferdinand style. Out of the 12 tracks there was probably only 2 or 3 I didn't thoroughly enjoy. All other tracks were really good, and there was a few that really shone through, like Ulysses, No You Girls, Bite Hard and Send Him Away. However, that's my opinion and I expect most people would have different favorites and opinions.


    What is that bit all about? | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song The Fallen performed by Franz Ferdinand

    What is this part of the song about?
    'You turn the rich into wine
    Walk on the mean'

    I think it's about the Christian hypocrites who do good for the publicity and then go hating on the atheists and that it's an atheistic song because the lead singer of Franz Ferdinand is rumoured to be an atheist (that's what every site I looked on said).


    this is old...2004 | Reviewer: nuja
        ------ About the song Michael performed by Franz Ferdinand


    05-29-2004

    Rated 0
    This song is actually about a homosexual called michael (although that may not be his name to keep his identity secret) who lives in glasgow and is very good friends with the band.

    Franz Ferdinand are an amazing band, who give a great live performance - if you do like them, check out the early release Darts of Pleasure, the b-sides are pure genious.


    Take Me Out | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song Take Me Out performed by Franz Ferdinand

    Please do not be angry if that is their interpretation. That is what they saw. You saw saw something else. You people try to say "I'm right" yet interpretations are neither right nor wrong. So please no fighting.

    About the song, yeah cool not that fast not too slow. I do not know about the assassinations but I could see that it's one of the meanings of the song. If you guys want to know its true meaning ask the band itself(which looks like it's impossible).


    honestly... | Reviewer: Rowan Donnelly
        ------ About the song Michael performed by Franz Ferdinand

    what is with all of you homophobic morons?
    this song is extremely catchy and quite enjoyable to listen to.
    why does everyone have to find the faults in everything?
    close your mouth, cuz the shit thats falling out is stupid.


    Thoughts about "Turn it on" | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song Turn It On performed by Franz Ferdinand

    I believe that this song is about a boy (duh) who's probably desperate, jealous and a stalker.
    "It ain't easy being this kind of lover
    When you never call me " She doesn't want him, that's why he's stalking her - "I know the places you call home, yeah". He would even follow her to Rome, because he's crazy in love with her.

    "If I can't have you then nobody can" - he treatens her, - "yeah, yeah, yeah" [- it's something casual?]

    - At first, I believed that 'pleased himself' - "You don't wanna know. How I manage alone ".

    BTW I really like this song, but I like most of the songs from Franz Ferdinand... They're relly good.





    Interesting | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song Take Me Out performed by Franz Ferdinand

    You know honestly, I could see the song being two snipers taunting one another... if they were playing Halo. And though a comical thought that he would be singing about that, it's not plausible.

    The song seems to be about a guy hitting on a girl knowing he's going to get shot down. But, eh whatever it's a fun song have fun with interpretation.


    Um, excuse me? | Reviewer: Sara
        ------ About the song Take Me Out performed by Franz Ferdinand

    Not all songs are about chicks and sex, though the majority of songs are. If this song is secretly hinting at an assassination, then it is.

    Is it really that hard to believe that songs can't secretly be talking about snipers? Rude punks on here. Like chuck norris and Buster.


    STFU, please. | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song Michael performed by Franz Ferdinand

    Is the song about a gay person - yes. duh. It's not just "gay undertones" it's gay.
    Does that mean the band is gay- no.
    Does it matter- no. If Alex Kapranos is bisexual, who cares? He's an amzing song writer, lyricist, musician, an amazing person!

    And this song FUCKING ROCKS MY WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    the sexiest song ever, most danceable, I can just dance forever to this song! It gives me eargasms!


    ok to the retards :l | Reviewer: chuck norris
        ------ About the song Take Me Out performed by Franz Ferdinand

    ok look you people who think its about a assassination :l are completly retarded... most music is about chicks or relations or something that happens in the regular persons life... only punk bands would make a song about something like a fucking shoot off against two snipers... like the dead kennedys, they made a song basically where the only lyrics were nazi punks fuck off, and the dead milk men made one called taking retards to the zoo and bitchin camaro, which were hilarious songs and were complete punk, but franz ferdinand is a rock pop band so they automattically make songs about the regular life, yeah the band is named after that austrian guy but theres no way in hell that this song is about snipers or a assassination or any fucking shit that you dumb asses think, its most definately about the dude trying to ask out a chick and the chick is playing hard to get with him or is either not wanting to go out with him and since the band is franz ferdinand they are gonna use references to the assassination of the austrian :l like what most bands do in songs they reference there songs to there band name, like the new pornographers, they always will use they band name in some of there songs. tard muffins :O


    dude... | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song The Fallen performed by Franz Ferdinand

    I think the song is about the religious hypocrites that judge others for their different beliefs (or non-beliefs), or even their different interpretation of a certain religion. Most of these religions believe in equality. But these people, blatantly ignore these laws, go on and just hate others who aren't the same. Dude, some of these people even full on go AGAINST their religion, and morals, then attempt to cover it up with proof that what they did didn't ACTUALLY break any direct law, AND THEN they continue judging people.
    (excuse my french)
    'Fuck you' to all of those people


    Conspiracy Theory | Reviewer: Jamar
        ------ About the song Take Me Out performed by Franz Ferdinand

    Ok listen to Finger Eleven's "Paralyzer" and Franz Ferdinand's "Take Me Out" and the Ting Ting's "Shut up and let me go" and last listen to Stevie Wonder's "Superstition". These songs all sound the same! Does anyone have any others? I know somebody who loves this sound and I want to surprise them...I'll check back! ^__^


    You people are retarded. | Reviewer: Buster
        ------ About the song Take Me Out performed by Franz Ferdinand

    How the FUCK could you think this song is about two snipers? How in the NAME OF JESUS FUCKING CHRIST COULD YOU BE THAT PROFOUNDLY STUPID? Please, please, PLEASE DON'T HAVE CHILDREN. I don't want mine to have to share a playground with your inbred mongoloid spawn that have the same gelatinous mass of shit to pass off as a brain or, as you probably know it, a 'thinky box'. FUCK STUPID PEOPLE.


    Leaving alone | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song Take Me Out performed by Franz Ferdinand

    Man. It is interesting to read these posts. Myth Busters? Sniping? Well it is good to have an imagination, I suppose, but the song is not ambiguous. "I know I won't be leaving here with you". It's sad and ironic in a way because the chick the song is about could never sum it up like this, could never lament like this. He is just projecting his beauty onto her and that is what he must do. He is alone.


    LOVE FRANZ | Reviewer: Barbara
        ------ About the album Franz Ferdinand performed by Franz Ferdinand

    I am 63 years old and my daughter left your album in my car. I loved it. I love the one that has "I'm going to make someone love me...now I know, now I know that's you!" It is my theme song now for my newly found family. I was adopted and my daughter found me two sisters. When I first picked them up at the airport I played that song.


    As Fragile As A Broken Bone | Reviewer: Roisin
        ------ About the song Swallow, Smile performed by Franz Ferdinand

    I adore this song... I was hooked the moment I heard it. It's just... Astounding. It fills you up, grips you tightly with acoustic guitar and hypnotic vocals and the moment it lets you go you feel like something's been taken from you... You never want it to end.
