[SIMON] There's a trust level
amongst us that we just, you
can't find anywhere else.

It just comes from having been
through everything together.

[LAUGHING] Record this?!

[BEN] We never had these massive
ambitions when we started out at
all.

We were just this weird rock
band that were trying to piss
people off.

[JAMES] We never took advice
from anybody.

We just put our hoods up and
turned and faced the back.

We just kept goin.

[SIMON] But when it comes to
just what makes us, us and what
makes us unique,

It's got a lot to do with
this part of the world.

[BEN] It stands for "Big
Imagination For Feeling Young

'Cause Life Yearns Real
Optimism".

That's what it stands
for. That's an acronym.

-What does BIFFY CLYRO mean?
-What does it mean?

It's what's keeping us alive.

It made me realize, "This is
something we haven't done!"

[JAMES] Just being our own wee
gaffe, no adults around.

It can remind me of how much
I need this personally.

That's a good place to
be after 20 years.

♪♪♪

It really feels like you've got
a wee secret at that point.

A wee secret that the world
doesn't know about.

It's by far the most grassroots
thing we've done.

One new idea was, "Woah this
is great this is new!

-"I don't know what this is but
it's gonna be a treat!"
-♪ Justify your reasons ♪

♪ Now it is my turn ♪

[BEN] The three of us in this
bloody dairy farm.

It's a whole rebirth
that's started again.

[JAMES] I don't even know if the
label knew we were making
an album at first.

It was literally making music
for the sake of making music
'cause we love it.

It felt like we were kids again.

-Hello!
-Hello mate how you doin?

-How you doin?
-Not bad not bad!

-Yeah.
-Givin the old bit a
race as well.

Thanks for coming to Bonaire, my
part of the world.

If you do a wee full 180 there
you'll see a beautiful view of
the coast.

And uh yeah this is where
I was born and raised.

It's very much a part of my
identity and the identity of
the band I guess.

[SIMON] This is like the first
year we haven't travelled in
probably 21 years.

We've always been on the move
and I've found that inspiring
for years

and I've been scared of
stopping. In case it stops the
inspiration,

but actually this last year
I've felt just as inspired.

After the shock of the
initial lockdown.

You know and just being able to
do things like this, have a day
to go do the beach.

I don't think I've
ever done this.

Finally after 20 years we've
made a record in Ayrshire.

You know it's like our first
top to bottom Scottish record.

Hello gentlemen. Interrogation
time is it? Interrogation time.

It's gonna get hot
in here. [LAUGHS]

Check my hair.
[LAUGHING]

Simon interview, take one!

[INTERVIEWER] So, cast your mind
back mate.

It's 2019. You're recording 'A
Celebration of Endings' over in
LA.

What are your memories of that
time out in the basking
sunshine of Los Angeles?

It now feels like a long time
ago. 2019 it feels... like a
different mind almost.

I think back to that time,
life was a lot easier.

You know we were just there
making our music in LA like
we've done

so many times before.

It feels like a kind of natural
place for us to be.

[SIMON] For us it's always been
quite an important part to kind
of go as far away from home,

and feel like we're in a part
of the world where anything is
possible.

You know writing the songs and
everything and the essence

and the soul of the music is
very Scottish.

But when I'm making a record
with Ben and James as well,

we don't want to feel
those limitations.

[BEN] Over in LA in North
America you can definitely dream

big and nobody checks you for
it.

You know when you're making a
record you wanna shoot for the
stars so

LA's a good place to do that.

♪♪♪

[JAMES] When the band's in the
studio and we get the songs to a
point where we're happy

that's true elation. Like
nobody can touch you at that
point.

Living together like the Brady
Bunch in a house is really a
huge part of it for me.

It's really a big part of the
comradery of giving you that
fighting spirit.

That you're all in it together.

♪♪♪
♪ Doo doo doo ♪

They're never gonna
hear that coming!

-No I mean, two choruses are
always better than one.
-They're never gonna hear that--

We create the worst bike
gang that LA's ever seen.

Us and our little
push bikes. [LAUGHS]

-Like three wee guys from the
west coast of Scotland.
-Yeah!

And we're kind of over there
living our dreams.

Those are the moments that I
really cherish the most.

-What's sporty!
[LAUGHTER]

[BEN] It's a wonderful part of
the world, great studios.

Back to us having a really
good time recording again.

We've worked so hard on this
album, we come home and,

and we're ultimately very proud
of it, we think you know it's
our best work to date.

So excited to let
people hear it.

And then COVID hits, and the
whole complexion of the world
changes.

[SIMON] Like everyone else I
mean it really messed us up.

You know with everything
stopping and I don't think

there's a soul on the planet
that hasn't felt it.

For us timing-wise with the
album it was really awkward
because

we literally had just announced
the album was gonna come out in
like May.

I think it was May. But it was
like, "This isn't gonna happen."

It was physically impossible
to make it happen.

[JAMES] Every bit of our energy
and focus has gone into this
thing that is now

to all intents and purposes
taken away from us.

[SIMON] I really struggled in
the aftermath of not putting it
out.

I suddenly started to think
like, "Is music even important?"

Is anyone gonna want to
stand in a field again?

Or a venue to watch music when
we're dealing with so much shit.

[JAMES] You're off the hampster
wheel and you're not doing what
it is you love to do,

so it was really a kind of a
bit of an existential crisis.

What are we doing? What am I
doing? What is life about?

[SIMON] If I don't have
something activating and
engaging my brain

then that's when I kinda start
to go into a spiral.

I felt like I was a bike,
gaping wind in my, my mind.

Not to be overly dramatic, but
my soul, I just felt, I felt
empty.

Yeah, it was a little dark and

had to find something
to focus on basically

becasue if you've got nothing
at the end of the tunnel then

its kinda what's the
point type thing.

It seems crazy to
sit here and moan about

that sort of thing happening
when I'm lucky enough to be

in this amazing band and
have this amazing life,

but, I mean, yeah, it's all
relative. It was hard.

As much as its been
really tough,

it's probably reinforced
who we are as a band

and as friends more
than ever because

actually when you rip
everything else away,

that's what we enjoy. That's
what makes us who we are.

But it was really hard
to rememeber that.

[JAMES] I mean life is often
about compromises.

When it comes down
to the choice of

not puttin' the record out at
all because we can't tour

or get the music out there,
people can enjoy it.

Music's about helping
you through life.

Everyone was stuck at
home for a year so.

In some ways you could say we
had a captive audience, you
know?

Hello everybody. Thanks so much
for taking 'A Celebration of
Endings'

to number one in the offical
album chart. Oh, yeah!

We miss you guys loads. We're
very proud of this record.

Thanks for listening.
We love you. Miss you.

We are Biffy Clyro and
we'll see you soon.

[SIMON] The week fo the album
release we wanted to do like a
performance

from Glasgow, you know
as close as we can get
to playing together as a band

so that we felt some semblance
of normalcy.

Anyone that knows the band
knows what history we have in
that room.

It's just an incredible place.

♪♪♪

[SIMON] Without that show I
wouldn't even feel like

I necessarilly released
an album you know?

It's like you pull the catapult
back and you're ready,

but you're tensed. You're
stress there,

until you let go of that it
doesn't come to fruition.

♪♪♪

[JAMES] I think we took a
negative situation and really
turned it positive.

[JAMES] I actually feel that the
badlands show was one of the
best things

we ever did. I say that
kind of bashfully,

but that is one of the
things I'm proudest of.

Well done everybody.

[SIMON] I started making a bunch
of music after the album came
out.

The album came out in August
and in September I knew I
needed to,

even though I didn't feel very
creative, I knew I needed to

have a sense of purpose
because it all built up

and then the album is out and
then it was like, what now?

[BEN] Simon just writes all the
time, you know, he's always got
songs.

So I think what started
this, maybe like

this is a kind of wee B
sides album type thing.

It's now become a whole
different beast.

One new idea was whoa, this
is great, this is new.

I don't know what this is but
it's going to be a treat.

I know it's going to work
because the exitements there in
that new

terrain. You've opened up a
new landscape to yourself.

We just had to record them, but,

what do you do when
you're restricted?

You can't travel. You
can't go anywhere.

I don't even know if the label
knew we were making an album at
first.

You know, we were just
doing our own thing.

It really feels like you've got
a wee secret at that point.

A wee secret that the world
doesn't know about.

♪♪♪

[BEN] You've got rolling fields
over here. On a nice day like
this

it's beautiful to come
here and look at this.

It's quite inspiring.
I'm sure you'll agree.

And hopefully we'll
bump into a farmer.

And you will not understand a
word these guys are sayin'.

This is deep Ayrshire.

Fantastic. Oh, here
we go. Some friends.

Alright there, how
you doing? Oh, no.

-Bit skitish. Bit skitish today.
-[CAMERAMAN] Not a fan of the
last album maybe.

No no, they don't like
the new stuff.

It's... They're older fans.

You're a biggin' You
are a biggin. Nah.

I'm not feeling pally
today. Almost.

Oh Jesus, covered in slobber.
Fuck that.

[BEN] It's been an eye opener. I
realized how good at recording
we can get.

You can be on a farm with an
outhouse toilet and no running
water

and still make a great
album. That's great.

[SIMON] We are on a farm. We are
in a working farm.

It's a dairy farm. You know, we
hear the dairy trucks arrive.
The cows are next door.

It's weird because when people
hear we were making a record
here,

even just like family and
things, they go, "Oooo."

You know and that was quite
exciting for me because

it made me realize this is
something we haven't done.

[JAMES] We first went there 15
years ago, it was,

it was a very different place.

We got the overalls
on and we got to DIY

[BEN] Grafted everyday to build
this amazing dias

and to create this living
room space as well

we could hang out in and
also make a kitchen,

which I tiled. My first
ever tiling job.

[JAMES] It's not any better
soundproofed than it was so

I think the neighbors
are still like...

I hope they like our music,

because, if they don't, then
it's been a long 15 years.
[LAUGHS]

♪♪♪

Adam Noble was our obvious
choice. He's a wonderful
producer.

[JAMES] Adam feels a part of the
gang

so he doesn't need a lot of
convincing to get involved

and that's something
we're so lucky with.

[SIMON] Fortunately we got a
fantastic relationship

and he trusts us as
a band so he knows

even if what we're attempting
is the most insane thing

everybody knows that
there's purpose to it
and there's a concept behind it.

It's exotic that.

You know, he laughs so much.
When he starts laughing
really hard,

you know that's when you've
done the right thing.

♪♪♪

[SIMON] Churd has been my guitar
tech for 15 or 16 years.

He's one of the sweetest humans
you could meet. I mean we've
grown up together you know.

We remember Churd
when he was 21.

He was a classic rock
guy on tour. You know.

Churd! Churd! Churd!
Churd! Churd! Churd!

He's just a saint is Churd.
He'll work and work
and never complain.

[JAMES] We're dear dear friends.
You know these are--

If you wanna see me cry
let's keep talking

because these are people that we
love. We've got a strong
connection.

We've lived our best moments
and our darkest moments
together.

[SIMON] But the challenge was
definitely can we record

a proper record and
not a low-fi record.
Not like a dusty sounding record

but like somthing that makes
everyone proud and it blows

even 'A Celebration of
Endings' out the water.
That's part of the plan.

Just feel it building
up for that last one.

♪♪♪

[JAMES] First day of recording
we spent really quite a lot of
time

making sure we got all the
little hums and all the pops

that you get down the vocal
mics and things like that

and we're just getting
ready to do bass.

I looked at the computer
and it's like duf, duf.

All these spikes coming from
the bass channel and we're like

the sessions over. What we
gotta do?

A ticking noise in the audio
and it was the electric fence

to try and keep sheep in their
bloody pen.

So we had to get the farmer to
turn off the electric fence.

[SIMON] Even though we were
entering this fight with one
hand tied behind our back

it didn't mean we were wanting
to do any less damage.
It's still a, a hell of a fist.

I feel very cool comin' in here
today with this sunshine.

[TALKING OVER EACH OTHER]

I talk a good game. I try and
get it in every record.

It doesn't often make it, but
there's a couple of songs

in this that are, that have
real sound scaping moments

that I think I can get away
with my rudimental skills.

♪♪♪
Oh yeah, I just went and made
Last of the Mohicans there.

[SIMON] First song 'Dum Dum' was
the key song on that album.

[JAMES] The song almost whispers
its way into life.

It really starts so subtly.

It's unlike any bit of music
we've recorded before.

♪♪♪

It puts you off the scent.
It makes you think the
album's going to be

a completely different piece

actually was the first
meaningful song on this record.

you into our world and now

[SIMON] 'Hunger In Your Haunt'
is about finding that fire
inside yourself

during a tough time to find a
reason to get up in the morning,

to find that purpose
and I think musically,

especially after 'Dum
Dum', it has that

straight to the point. It's
pure purpose that song.

Yeah, I like that.

Could I add an extra...
in this verse?

-Yeah.
-One guitar doing that,

I think it might be nice to just
have one more.

Yeah.

It's got some progy stabs and
Simon's screamin' his lungs out.

It's just a quality Biffy
track, that one for me.

-[JAMES] Yeah I know. He's a
tiny wee dot man! So far away!

Being here we've kind of
stripped away a lot of the
extraneous things that come

with recording and I think
here it's much simpler.

There's a different
feeling of accomplishment I
think because we've got

our hands a little bit dirtier
doing it and there's no
everyday distractions in

-life at the moment. So it's
really nice
-Yeah.

to have this
something to focus on.

We can just hunker down in
our wee world here and...

[JAMES] The last few weeks
being here together, the
comradery, the vibe is really

equal importance to the
music at this stage.

And I always find that when
things in life don't come that
easy you appreciate them

-a little bit more.
-[BEN] Yeah.

[UNINTELLIGIBLE CONVERSATION]

Bit of a panic you know,
running about the supermarket.
[LAUGHS]

[CAMERAMAN] Not usually the
most important thing when
making an album.

Not usually, not for the
drummer, but, this is a
different album man.

You know Ben took on all the
cooking with Churd for like,
two months.

[BEN] Yeah, I was jumping
between drum machines and the
stove trying to make dinner.

And James is basically, he was
the engineer backing up the
producer, Adam Noble

If there's limitations to it
practically, we'll figure that
out.

[LAUGHS] What fuckin fuck is
that?

[JAMES] But as long as you can
come up with the idea and have
the spark

the feeling amongst us is that
we can make this work.

[PLAYING SYNTH] Yeah man, haha.

[JAMES] So we're gonna give you
a little run down of dinner,
right Churds?

Nice bit of salmon, we've got a
medley of summer vegetables.

We're gonna eat well,
we're gonna eat well.

We only started even having
people in here that weren't
myself, Ben and James

probably two years ago because
it's such a sacred place for us
and it was

all about keeping the vibe
right. Because that's what we
cherish

so much about this place
is this place is fun.

This is like a kind of
clubhouse forest to make our
music.

♪ Ooh ♪
Oh, no!

Just did the job that Ben half
did. [LAUGHTER]

At one time we were on holiday
in France, bizzarely watching
snooker.

And they're all going 'Allie
McManus! Allie McManus!'

So Alan McManus is uh,
is my favorite player. Is this
the 'making of the making of'?

[SIMON] this is the making of
the making of the making of...
the making of.

happening anymore! [LAUGHING]

[SIMON] Oh fuckin hell it's the
11th wall is down! Yes!

[SIMON] Do you remember
where we got them?

[BEN] All of them I believe
have been thrown on stage,
right, there or gigs.

-[BEN] Um there's half of
Souttar. And half uh, Poland.
-[SIMON] Right, okay.

-[SIMON] That's Scotland and
Poland together.

[JAMES AND SIMON] Together at
last!

Portugal, and this is amazing
look at the drawing on this!

I have no idea how they've done
this, but the likeness is
just uncanny.

-It's pretty hot, just three
bored dudes.

I mean we've been having a bit
of a laugh but genuinely it is
so nice to have the support.

-To have the memories of these
people. You know?
-[BEN] Yeah.

[SIMON] As much as we felt
isolated last year as everyone
did, putting these things up

I kind of want to take a trip
up to that farm sometime.

Don't know what they
do up there.

-Have we been?
-I wanna know
what rock band's up there.

[JAMES] I think we get the best
of both worlds with the
travelling that we do.

And then we have the
grounding... of home.

And the attitude of the people
at home I think that's really
important

to your... mental wellbeing.

I think 'cause we're in a job
where people often celebrate
your success it's nice

to come to a place where no-one
really gives a shit. [LAUGHING]

And that suits us just fine.

You can't go wrong with that eh?

We've been pretty much
everywhere in the world.

And that's helped get me,
contextualize why this place is
important to me.

And why it's really important
to our band.

[BEN] This is the longest we've
been home since we were
actually

kids 'cause we've been touring
since.

As you get older you do have
this appreciation for where you
come from

and how it has affected you as
a person. How it's made you who
you are.

[JAMES] The more we've
travelled over the years, the
connection becomes stronger.

The more time you spend away,
the Scottishness is deep within
us.

I wouldn't be comfortable being
so vulnerable in my songs or...

or kind of defenseless if they
didn't come from this part of
the world.

[JAMES] We've come back home.
We've come back home to
glorious Kilmarnock.

-Kind of where it all started
for us really.
-Yeah.

-In the garage.
-In the garage.

-The parents' garage.
-Tight 8PM cutoff.

[BEN] Yeah, if it got to 8:01,
the door got shut.

-Can't go over.
-Stop, that's it, 8:01.

And these other neighbors
that hate us.

Persona non grata right here!

Watch your head tall man!

Amps everywhere! It was
like, one in one out.

-A bit of a clusterfuck.
-It really was.

-To play some over the years.
Biffy gigs. Oh my god.
-Wow.

-There's a really old one from
the paper.
-Oh when we played the...

So that's us playing a battle
of bands. It's gone yellow.

[JAMES] We didn't have very
many plans but we did take it
seriously.

Practice was about
getting better.

Just that feeling when you all
come together and you just make
that beautiful

harmony, you make that noise.
There's just nothing really
like it.

You filming aye?

How we doin?
Welcome to Kilmarnock!

-There's star walks further
down town.
-[LAUGHTER]

Where they have all the famous
people. It goes on for miles.

[CAMERAMAN] Haha,
a handsome man!

-Fuckin shivers.
-I know haha!

A couple of venues in this
square half mile that we played
loads when we were younger.

Typical you know like that's-
like you find the couple of
pubs nearby that let you

-in underage with your
fake ID.
-Yeah.

Basically it was whoever had
sideburns

would be the first
one walkin up like,

"Hey man I've got sideburns I'm
quite obviously legal!" and
then they'd be like,

-"Alright, in ya come."
-Yeah.

But it's just about getting
your pals down to watch the
show.

It's just about playing music
with your friends and we've
never taken it for granted.

And I think if your roots are
different than ours are then

maybe you would take some
things for granted.

Taa daaa!

-[JAMES] Is that what you were
expecting?
-[SIMON] Is that not gorgeous?

Is that not gorgeous?

This is BIFFY CLYRO.
[IMMITATES DRUMMING RHYTHM]

♪♪♪

[SIMON] So this is the venue
that one of our very first
shows...

So I broke a string, it was
literally like SOS sorry
everyone.

Just need to drive home to get
a spare string, so that's what
we did.

There was a 15 minute
delay in the gig.
"We're gonna take

"a 5 minute break for 10
minutes. See you in 15!" That
was--

flung that out there
and I'll never forget that.
What a line! It's not my line.

And then yeah we went out and
literally I changed the guitar
string

-in front of the whole crowd
and then we carried on.
-And that's that.

But you know that's the spirit
of things when you start as a
proper DIY band.

You know like, get in a van,
make your own gigs happen.
Print your own flyers and shit.

-That's what happens.
-Yup.
-Absolutely.

You don't want things to come
too easy to you you know?

Oh it would've been nice though!
[LAUGHING]

[BEN] I mean it was terrifying.
I remember being so scared.

So rigid and not moving. Like
that not even breaking a sweat.

But hooked, absolutely hooked,
it was just the most amazing
feeling.

[JAMES] We just kept going.
More often than not
we were unpopular.

People asking for Oasis people
asking for... anything but what
we were doing.

We didn't change! We did not
change, we just put our hoods up
and turned and faced the back.

[SIMON] I don't know it it was
just arrogance or confidence.

Or whether it was
self preservation.

You know like, hey, we're not
gonna engage so therefore if
people aren't into it

then we can-- well we didn't
want you to like our band!

And that was kind of
our badge of honor.

And here we are approaching
what used to be...

-Arlington Birdies.
-Right here?
-Yeah, yeah that's it.

[OVERLAPPING AGREEMENT]
It's super gone!

But this is where we played, I
think it was on the 3rd set of
the night.

-It was your birthday though?
-It was our birthday, our 18th
birthday.

And the owner came over said,
"You guys better turn this down
it's getting too loud!"

And Simon being the young
defiant man that he was like,

"Yeah, very good!" Duh nuh nuh!
Turned it up. [LAUGHING]

-And uh, I think there were
a few choice words.
-I'll never forget it,

"Do not make a cunt of me young
man."
[LAUGHING]

Which in essence is making a
cunt of yourself, saying that
to an 18 year old child.

-You paid 60 quid to hire
out- I know!
-Exactly!

"Do you want your 60 quid or
not?!"
[OVERLAPPING TALKING/LAUGHING]

[SIMON] It's nice to be able to
honor these places which have
allowed us

to then make our ridiculous
new album.

You know like 2 miles that
way, it's fuckin' brilliant!

You know with that it's like,
you couldn't make that up.

[JAMES] In terms of where we're
from being a part of who we
are, it's undeniable.

Probably a slight chip
on our shoulder.

Probably a slight underdog
mentality.

[SIMON] Lookin back I'm so glad
that myself Ben and James kind
of stood alone

in our small towns because...

It gave us a strength and this
identity and this gang mentality

that we wouldn't have
had otherwise.

[BEN] Quite a big lable actually
came up to see us play and after
the showcase

he kind of said the deal hinged
on us changing the name.

And so we were like "nope."

[JAMES] Even if it means you
think we're going to fail.

That's out choice to make. And
if we do fail, we'll go down
fightin'.

[BEN] So we kinda turned down
this record deal to keep the
name BIFFY CLYRO.

Oh god that sounds so
stupid. It's true.

No, sticking to your
guns is a good thing.

And trying to see your vision
out, and that's what we did.

We kept the silly name and it's
haunted us ever since.

[SYNTH PLAYING]

This is fun stuff!
[LAUGHING]

Listen to this, we're making
music and we're breaking music
today.

[SIMON] Recent BIFFY records
electronics play a much bigger
part you know.

For years I would just put
loads of guitars on the record
and actually

sometimes I find that putting a
weird electronic sound or
something can actually

make a song heavier. It can
just take your mind somewhere
else dynamically.

♪♪♪

It's really opened up the
sonics of where the songs end
up.

♪ You never diminish any
more ♪

I think that's just what
it needs, I swear!

It's always gonna have the
identity of who we are.

I think as soon as Ben plays
drums, James plays bass and I
sing on it you know,

then it's gonna sound like our
band. But we wanna kind of
present it in like

almost a different part of the
world each time. Like a
different geography.

Terrain's probably the best way
to do it, a different terrain.

[SIMON] It took me longer to
miss the gigs than I thought it
would during lockdown.

We tour, we play well over
100 shows every year,

so sometimes the last thing you
wanna do is go to a venue.

But when you do go to a venue
and those lights go down before

the band comes on that's what I
live for.

And I try and remember that
when we're prepping for a gig.

That moment of "this is about
to happen" that's the magic.

[UNINTELLIGABLE]

"What's tonight gonna hold?"
You know and the band has that
as well I think.

Even as a fan when you're
there you do wonder...

"How good's this gonna be?" But
your excitement level soars.

And that's how I feel when
we're about to play it's like
you wanna

reach the stars
you wanna reach the sky.

But the bands I like, and the
music that we make, I just want
people to care.

[JAMES] Being one person's
favorite band as opposed to 10
peoples' fifth favorite band.

That was the mantra early on.

[BEN] We were just young kids
we were in hoodies and just

playing some really abrasive
music. Just wanted to make a
racket.

And ruffle some feathers
I guess.

[SIMON] We're now at James'
house. We're gonna show you a
version of the van

we used to tour in back in
the day. For like 5 or 6 years
James and Ben

used to drive us around
in a camper van.

James bought like a replica of
it, but this is rock and roll.

If you can spend four weeks in
a van with your two best
friends

and have the time of your life
stay in that band! Stay in that
van!

And keep fucking doing it!

-Back to early 2000's over here
with this bad boy!
-I know!

-How are ya man? Feeling
alright?
-How ya doin? Yeah,

-feeling alright thanks man.
-Good to see you man.

-Is it weird? Is it nice
being in there?
-It is nice.

-Hey if we tour this van would
be alright!
-Ha, I know!

-Cup of tea sir?
-[OVERLAPPING TALKING]

Hey, cup of coffee sir?

[BEN] I still don't know where
all the people went and all
the gear went.

I guess we were a little
bit smaller then?

[SIMON] For us it was always
like having a great time in the
moment.

'Cause it just felt like we
were a gang from this part of
the world exploring the UK.

Turning up, 3 normal folk, and
we'd go in and try to make as
big of a fuckin' impact

and splash as possible, and
there's such an innocence and a
purity to that I think.

-And I don't think we've
ever lost that.
-If it came down to

it now, and
we had to get into the van,
the three of us

and bunch of gear I would-- I'd
carry the gear,

and I know the boys feel the
same way and it's a really nice

-place to be.
-We'll be happy
for James to carry the gear.

-[OVERLAPPING TALKKING]
-Definitely be alright with
James carrying the gear.

[SIMON] They're the moments when
you realize if you really wanna
be doing what you're doing

-and you're surrounded by people
you like, because
-Yeah.

if it means spending 20
hours in a van

-to play that show we'll fuckin
do it.
-Absolutely.

And if it's not worth it to you
then

hang up your guitar or
your laptop

or your fuckin USB key.
[LAUGHING]

Or log out of fuckin' tech talk.

[JAMES] It's a reminder to
keep things kind of simple.

Because it's not much different
to what we were doing then to
now.

It's still getting together to
play music in front of
strangers.

You're with your best mate and
your brother and you're kicking
ass.

Your in the country
and scaring folk.

[SCREAMING]
Thank you.

[SIMON] In early tours we didn't
always play with our shirts off.

Now after each show, you did
maybe 29 shows in 30 days, so
our-

we would just fling our gig
shows out the back of the van

and literally after like a week
we had like a chewing gum...

Massive chewing gum ball of
t-shirts that were just salty
and horrible discolored.

-It's your favorite t-shirt as
well 'cause you've been onstage.
-You think

-"I'm wearing my cool t-shirt!"
-Yeah, I wear my
cool t-shirt and then

-you go home and you've got
no bloody clothes left.
-So that's why

-we started...
-We started playing with our
shirts off.

It's a bit ridiculous going on
stage in front of 10,000 people
anyway.

And I think stripping away any
kind of armor that you use in
everyday life

is, it's just you're totally
free, you've got nothing else
to hide behind.

-It's just you and your
fucking mind and your brothers
-Yeah.

And we've ended up playing some
sh- we've played gigs in the
Arctic Circle.

Up in northern Norway,
up in Tromsoø.

It was minus four degrees
and we were like, "Why did we
decide to do this again?"

But see once you start playing
it doesn't fuckin matter
so you get in that headspace.

But there has been a few times
where we've been like "This is
a really bad idea."

'Separate Missions'? This

just be- harmonize with the

you're missing a trick.

part of it.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

[SIMON] Everything we normally
do points towards a live show
you know.

One satisfying aspect is always
when I first hear the songs

come together like wow I still
can't believe it when I hear
things happen like wow!

The conclusion of that is
when we play on the stage.

[JAMES] Just about the most
important, the highest moment
you get.

The most out of body experience
you feel you're elevating.

not much else in life can
get you to that place.

[BEN] Ther'es certainly no
better place than Glasgow to be
getting back at it.

So many lovely memories from
playing there before.

Even as kids kinda kickin'
about because the love is real
and it's going to be loud.

I just can't wait. I
cannot wait for that.

♪ Step out to the unknown ♪

♪ I'll catch you on the way
down ♪

♪ Aim high, look out below ♪

♪ We're on our way together into
the unknown ♪

[JAMES] I believe it's going to
be the first show in Glasgow.

The first outdoor show, so it
feels like quite a lot of
responsibility.

[SIMON] We're less than 20
minutes away from where we'll
play to 35,000 people.

This is where we made our new
record, 10 miles away.

It's where we live, where we
grew up, there's something
really beautiful

in this moment in time. It's
such a questioning period of
time for everyone.

It's happening in our
part of the world.

[BEN] It's not just going to be
emotional for us, but for the
fans as well you know

that everyone's been cooped up.
Just to get to put a smile on
their faces

is going to mean
the world to us.

[SIMON] I can't wait to feel
that sense of joy

and that sense of we're back.
You know we've made it
back here together.

[BEN] It's gonna be a seminal
moment.

It's a whole rebirth.
It's starting again.

I hope we can do it.

[JAMES] We can power the country
for a year off that one night

casue there's going to
be a lot of energy.
I really can't wait to feel it.

[BEN] I'm already nervous
thinking about it.

Without a doubt there's going
to be a lot of nerves.

I'll be lucky to have steady
legs. I think I'll be like
Bambi on ice.

[SIMON] Taking my nerves, my
anxiety and try to put it into

the purpose and the power and
the passion of the show, you
know.

[JAMES] Just try not to
brakedown in the first 5
minutes.

Just could be floods of emotion.

-Woo!
-Yeah, I love you boy.

[BEN] It will be super emotional
when we finally get on a stage.

We've missed it so much.

[CHEERING]

That'll be the moment where it
could go one of two ways.

It'll either be really emotional

or it will be like let's go.

♪♪♪

[BEN] We never had these massive
ambitions when we started out
at all.

We were just this weird rock
band tryin' to piss people off.

There's a weird look Simon will
give me sometimes that says all
that.

Just one look that says, "Yeah,
we're doing this. This is
actually happening."

You just about made me
cry because I guess

it's everything. It's everything
in our life. It's everything
that we focused on.

Everything else in your
life feels like its
got to fit around this.

♪ Don't you waste your life ♪

[SIMON] It feels like it has
kinda come full circle.

Its a shame it takes something
so dramatic and tramatic

for it to happen but
I'm really pleased

that we are reconnecting
with where we started.

[JAMES] So much has changed, but
yet so much hasn't.

It's still just us in a room
tryin' to make each other deaf.

♪♪♪

This only further hit home
how much we fucking love

and need to do what we do.

It couldn't mean more.
Is that a good way to put it?

It couldn't mean more to me.

♪♪♪

[SIMON] In the same part the
world is our home our very first
song as we were making

this record and there's
something really pure about that

and you know what, we're having
as much fun as we ever have.

I think we're better than
we ever have been so

long may it continue Jack.

We are Biffy fucking Clyro!!
