I Predict a Riot / Sink That Ship

Product Information

It was originally released as their second single on 1 November 2004 and was the band's first release on the B-Unique label. In the Guardian newspaper, February 24 2006, Kaiser Chiefs drummer Nick Hodgson said: "I used to DJ with my friend Nick at the Cockpit in Leeds. However, thanks to the Kaiser Chiefs' I Predict a Riot, the famous Leeds engineer and the stories behind some of the city's most memorable club nights have been immortalised.

In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. he felt really bad that me and my mates didnt have a ticket to the nme tour but i got my pic taken next to him and when i told him i liked his " house of kaiser I predict a riot" badge he said "oooh this was a fiver, dya wannit? Kaiser Chiefs in January 2005: Nick "Peanut" Baines, Andrew "Whitey" White, Ricky Wilson, Nick Hodgson and Simon Rix. The first, made for the original release, was directed by Charlie Paul, and features the band performing in front of a crowded audience, who appear to start a " pillow fight".While these two real-life events formed the basis of the track, there are a few more references in the song which would easily stump a non-Leeds native. After the riots, fourteen people were sentenced including two young people, Judge Michael Stoke QC praised the police force and the force’s dog, Ritchie. For some it actually happened, but why it happened still really remains a mystery; even to those who took part. As always though Bateman comes to their rescue and ensured that my sympathy remained with them all with the exception of the villain Pink Harrison and his henchmen.

Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. Die-hard copper Superintendent James 'Marsh' Mallow, of the Belfast CID, is nearing the end of his career, but he's not handing in his badge until he's nailed notorious politician and racketeer Pink Harrison. The B-52's picked chose the location of their song "Private Idaho" because the state had a reputation for being wacky and mysterious. The event aimed to produce creative interventions and invite individuals in positions of authority to be face to face with local communities to listen, speak and seek understanding in a world seemingly more and more misunderstood. A man wanted to tell me about an altercation he had on a bus, he was angry, he was hurt, he blamed youth and society.But, while some credit the mayhem which ensued at one of the band's own club nights as inspiration of the song, others believe it describes the frightful scenes witnessed in the town centre after former drummer Nick Hodgson played a DJ set. One thing the word was definitely used for is to describe a former pupil of the Leeds Grammar School, which they both attended, and the name of its school magazine. Also, the guitar riff after "who doesn't want to be out there" is overdubbed with Hammond organ, played by Peanut.

Led Zeppelin never won a Grammy Award; Jimmy Page and Robert Plant earned their first trophies in 2000 for "Most High," a song they wrote together that explores the role of religion in society.

Smeaton was John Smeaton, a leading figure in the development of Leeds; an 'Old Leodensian' is someone from Leeds. While in part it can be seen as a word for someone who hails from Leeds, it's more of a mock-classical term reserved for local sports clubs.It is one of the three tracks the band played when they opened Live 8 in Philadelphia, alongside " Everyday I Love You Less and Less" and " Oh My God". Two years after the track was released, Hodgson told The Guardian: "I used to DJ with my friend Nick at The Cockpit in Leeds. The song makes a reference to John Smeaton ("an old Leodensian"), a Civil Engineer, born in Austhorpe, Leeds. Majestyk, which the frontman also references in his NME interview, was one such venue that would have witnessed many of the scenes described in the track. Young people felt that what happened in 2011 wasn’t new, for them riots always happen – they told me gang wars, gun wars and cycles of abuse always are taking place.
