One thing I always wondered about this track, which I've always liked for its sheer boppiness: are the partygoers in the background 'extras' in the studio making party noises, or is it actually a recording of a party?
she's like bob dylan or god forbid Niel young, you either hate her or love her, I'm in the middle, some I love, some I could do without guess it depends on your personal mood oh yeah, and tom petty
There he goes flying his guitar again and this song just soars I allways loved his playing cuz ya just didn't know what he was gonna pull outta a guitar next
so much better than santana as per other comment nagshead... actually been there, during "floyd hurricane no less, cool place
While not at all one of the better Yello pieces (for that, check out Yello: One Second, especially Moon on Ice and The Rhythm Divine, the latter with Shirley Bassey singing), still, it is good to hear Yello on RP.
he def has his own style but I tired of it back in high school, same shit diff. song boooooring oh, like this next song......sounds just like the other reggae song.........zzzzzzzzzzzzz
though she has some looser songs, I still find something to relate to, lovin' lucinda she's hard core with a soft porn accent have you heard "essence"? or "blue"
I saw MH several times in Palo Alto before he "broke" (and shared a queue with him at a 7-11) — still the most intense live guitar performance I've ever witnessed. Aerial Boundaries and his debut are both outstanding. Wish he was still around...
just recently was made aware of this guitman, I'm curious, what happened to him, I'm guessing because of his hair, or lack thereof, that he may have had cancer of sime kind..? anyone know? I actually bought this album as a christmas gift this year
Can't decide whether or not I like this song. The music's interesting but the lyrics are somewhere between annoying and catchy. Annoyingly catchy perhaps?
Isn't it odd that hearing a great song for the 10,000th time makes some people nostalgic, and irritates others? I fall into the first camp. I could hear this song 10,000 more times and still love it.
OMG at first listen I thought this was tommy emmanuel, please play some of his stuff this is good 2 check out doyle on you tube as well as tommy ...awesome stuff
NOBODY ELSE can get so much mileage out of single bent, twisted, used and abused note or chord as Neil and CH...and this song STILL takes me back to when I first heard it and every other time after...and all sorts of heartaches connected to the lyrics, too... Purple words on a gray background, indeed. LOVE THOSE SCREAMING GUITARS! Thanks, RP!
hey bill, if you're reading not relevant to this song but I'm in the kitchen making xmas cookies and would love to hear some grinch songs either the classic or updated jim carey
I truely want to like this more but it seems there's a trend for a lot of bands to have way too much going on in the background so the vocals are struggling to be understood, too many layers, just cause they can, anyone agree?
The first record I ever owned and played to death was probably by Donny Osmond.... in grade 5. That'd be......1971.
can't remember the first "record" I owned but the one I remember my older brother playing was "G L O R I A"...Gloria oh so many years ago...am I dating myself? later on there was Iron Maiden..."Ina goda davida or whatevah...In a Garden of eden... whoa....flashback!!
not music oriented comment but does anybody know the name of the artist...maybe they call it tagging when it's done on public buildings, unsolisited, with spray paint? maybe he did the cover...? he's "painted" some awesome stuff
Great set! Even though it's too early to start drinkin'...(oh, yeah, I'm at work too *sigh*) 7:07 am - Grand National - Drink to Moving On 7:04 am - The Housemartins - Happy Hour 7:01 am - The Proclaimers - I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) 6:58 am - The Pogues - I'm a Man You Don't Meet Every Day
Yeah, me too. Although I wish Mike would lose that tinny-sounding Stratocaster and get a guitar with a good solid tone, like a Les Paul. But that's just the picky guitarist in me talking.
with all the gadgets out there now, there's any number of guitars you can emulate without getting a new guitar
It does sound like Neil on guitar. Maybe that's why I like this song so much. Reminds me of when I worked at an Indie record store here in Portland and these guys did an in-store when touring for this album. Nice guys.
I repeat myself oh, portland, is that real fog or pot smoke...?
Yeah! More of this and less Talking Heads and worn out oldies music, i.e. Dire Straits, Natalie Merchant, Grateful Dead, Moody Blues, and especially Jethro Tull.
ditto for U 2, REM, Neil Young and Tom Petty/Mudcrutch, DMB and that dude from new jersey
I find myself in the minority amongst my friends, who all really, really like this band. They've never appealed to me — is it because I've never seen them live maybe?
This song is probably one of the few of their's that I kind of like, maybe I should give Modest Mouse another try?
I actually looked at this song because I thought Bono was singing, and I was going to comment that I've been wondering lately what I ever saw in U2 back in the day.
bono who? me 2 lol I wondered what anybody saw in him/them lately I'm thinking the same of...cold play though my fav is still Fix you and stangely enough off key yellow
This song and album (Achtung Baby) marked the point at which bombast eclipsed music for U2. Bono's got a few clever lines in this song and the Edge sounds as good as ever, but all it adds up to is a racket.
hey boys....turn down that racket.!...like my mom used to say never understood why people get so excited over them
Okay, so he plays guitar. I get it. Pass. I'm Santana'd out.
yeah, somebody press the wayback machine button? sooooo old school don't think he's played a new lick since.....???? you tell me he's livin off new blood, tryin' to hang on.........
god, should have listened to my mom when she said you'll be sorry you quit piano just to be able to play something soothing, oh well, I know there are plenty of players that are better...............I'm in need of soothing..... I had the same shirt in veloor velour?
Really awful. Likely the worst bit of album filler ever commited to ones and zeros. The irony is that Joan is really tallented and has vastly better material to choose from. Bill, make this go away.

Very nice set. I'm not sure about the bg free association process that strung them together, but I suppose it is not for us to question why.

Neil has been doing this longer than probably most of the people commenting have been alive.
I know I'm an old hippie, but you have to back to the beginning and look at what has happened to music. He has done his way, like it or not. Give the man a little respect and maybe awe...let's see what you're doing in thirty years or so.
And it is a wicked guitar. Peace.
Every band..singer etc is influenced by someone,,,simply saying they ripped off this person or that is just plain stupid.
Muse don't sound like U2 or New Order, they might love their music but their sound is their own.
classic sly
was backstage watching....too many years ago to recall..thay were all F*"*ked up but it was so cool to be behind the scenes dig this good way to start the day
is the cover for this album done by that wacky tag artist we've seen all over...the world?
can't remember his name now, it's way late ..somebody help me out here...
That is one hell of a sexy song.
wish they'd bring it back
