Madness - The Liberty Of Norton Folgate - TV Advert

[madmike12321]

BEST ADVERT EVER :)

[ROULERS1]

whats the name of the song in the background, that plays at the end? 

[MrCorkyBoy]

@ROULERS1  Dust Devil

[beatlesbugmcsporran]

What a brilliant band! My dad got this album when it came out and it was the first album of theirs I listened to - although their first song I listened to was "Our House" when my dad sang it on SingStar years ago! Liberty Of Norton Folgate is my favourite - song and album!

[Mind1973]

It's too bad Wonderful wasn't received as well as The Liberty of Norton Folgate when the former was, in my opinion, a much better album.

[Suedeheadlover]

Hopefully the opposing one & a half have since changed their tune.

[pawnsacrifice1]

Madness are a national treasure!

[Kuuper111]

@pawnsacrifice1 you mean an INTERNATIONAL treasure:D

[abster1989]

MADNESS ARE THE BEST!

[McLarenMercedes]

[mickcbcfc]

[atavener]

Has anyone seen this advert on TV?

[fffan4]

0:24 Classic.

[Schlatman]

Great video/commercial! All the 4 star reviews for this very well-received album is deserved, as is it's #5 debut in the UK album Top 75. It's simply very good. Welcome back Madness!

[awnplmigo]

Everyone agrees that this album is much more sophisticated than their early hit singles, but the press is still underrating and patronizing them, and this is why TLONF has got so few five-star reviews.

[fuckingmetal4eva]

such a amazing cd

but i doubt il wash it like that lol

[pickemallayyye]

[VSAS1]

Who is the guy on Suggs left hand side in this ad?

[MrSpeaker06]

At 0:24 from left to right:

Mark "Bedders" Bedford, Lee "Kix" Thompson, Mike "Barzo" Barson, Graham "Suggs" McPherson, Carl "Chas Smash" Smyth, Chris "Chrissy Boy" Foreman, Dan "Woody" Woodgate.

[IndioFreak]

Gotta love Barso's look!

[VSAS1]

Hi, do you know if it was Barso who played the Main Character in Madness' Music Clip "Cardiac Arrest"?

Thanks.

[jp00349]

no it was Cathal Smyth aka Chassers!!

[VSAS1]

Thanks for that.

I should've known that one!!! Oh My I'm an 'Embarrasment'!!!:) However it confirms 1 thing 2 me Re 1 of my 1st comments about how 'Chas' (& btw how many names does he have???) reminds me of 'Suggs' becoz I even thought back in the mid '80s that 'Suggs' played that Character & did Lead Vocals etc. 2! No wonder I thought 'Suggs' was Sooo Talented I mean even moreso than he is!;) The make up was good he looked Very ill & I feel Very Weird on this TimeWarp! Do U no wat I mean??

[VSAS1]

Thank you very much 4 that it was very nice of U 2 go out of your way & write all of this info out 4 me!:)

Ok it is Carl "Chas Smash" Smyth who I meant But I only remember his name as being "Chas"!?

But oddly enough I do not really remember him!:) At 1st I thought that he hadn't always been in Madness but now I remember the Name "Chas" I guess he has been so could you or someone else please let me know what he plays & Also when "Lovestruck" was1st released?

[opkemon]

Chas used to only dance in the late 70s but he now provides backing vocals, and occasionally plays his trumpet or his guitar. He was the lead singer of the 1984 hit Michael Caine.

Lovestruck was first released in 1999 and reached #10 in the UK Singles Chart. =)

[MrSpeaker06]

Chas is the backing vocalist in Madness. He occasionally does lead vocals, and also plays the trumpet.

Lovestruck was released in 1999, July I think.

[VSAS1]

Hi it's me again! I'm back here because I cannot seem to find the right Madness Forum as yet & I'm really curious about something; Do U no if 'Chas' played piano in "Shut up"? Also "Lovestruck" is almost 10 years old now!? AND Btw I noticed 1 of the guys grabbing another 1's butt @ the beginning of that film clip! LOL!:) ROTFLMAO!:) I know I seem 2B behind the times here a bit but IMO that's 1 of Madness' Best Songs & Film Clips EVER!!!:) I hope I haven't gone 2 far OT here!???

[MrSpeaker06]

The best Madness fan forum is called Madness Central. As for Chas playing on Shut Up, I wouldn't think so, Mike Barson is the keyboardist. And yes Lovestruck is 10 years old. Feel free to ask any questions you want, I certainly don't mind! =P

[VSAS1]

Thank U Very Much once again 4 your help Im glad U don't mind!:) But U may B Sorry U said that!;) Is Madness Central @ their Website or the other place where they R? (I cant remember the name of it theres 2 many of them!) I no Chas isnt the Keyboard player it seems 2 me that hes a Multi Instrumentalist!? But it just looked abit like him playing that piano also the guy who stands right in the middle when they do their famous pose @ least 2x in the clip!? Id love 2 pix of that = Excellent!:)

[MrSpeaker06]

Yeh there's a link to it on their website, but you can just type it into Google. Madness Central is the best forum and news site for Madness fans. And yes Carl can play various instruments...

[VSAS1]

Thanks for that I joined up at Madness Central but I haven't had the chance to write too much as yet, I've been too busy reading things, etc. there. I'm just wondering if you go over there too because I'm going to upload an older Madness Pic 4 my Profile & I'm wondering if Ud B able to see it and let me know who the Members are on that then I will be able to compare the 2!? = (from then 2 now) That's Only if U do & U don't mind?

[MrSpeaker06]

Yes I'm a member of Madness Central and have been for ages now. Also I did mean from left to right looking at the clip :)

[MADNESSRULE2K8]

Yeah But Chas Has Also Played On Keybords In The Past For The Band

[madamebarso7]

if i remember Chas played keyboards when Barzo was late the other year @Sandown

[MADNESSRULE2K8]

@madamebarso7 yh dats true

[VSAS1]

Thank you very much for writing all this out for me!:)

I think it would be a good idea tho' if I go over 2 The Madness Website Forum becoz I've just got too many Qs 2 ask & Comments to make Re Madness & I need more space! I don't like being restricted by such things as character counters, etc.! And it's probably more appropriate for everyone if I do that anyway!?

So thank U All once again for your help & I'll probably see some of you over there 2!???

[VSAS1]

Hi I'm back here again becoz I just wanted to double check something; you did mean from left to right looking at the clip didn't you? It's just that I realized that when I asked the question I meant the guy on Suggs Left hand side which would be the right hand side if we were looking at it!:)

[bjaws]

Cheesy but I like it ;)

[mikeantfahey]

Mint advert, But what is Zazz, these guys have the name madness for a reason

Nutty Biys for life

[Wilholme]

the video for 'dust devil' is by no means a classic, but this shows they can still do funnies!

lads - you've created a brilliant album!

[RagtimeGoldfield]

I hope i see this on tv

[Gamitiel]

Hope i could use it with argentinian Skip!

[byteme1963]

[xxLastWishesxx]

Ahaha, Zazz (: I love <3

[Pitumisio]

TRANSCRIPT FOR NON-ENGLISH SPEAKERS

Hi. I'm Suggs from the popular musical ensemble Madness. We took our new album TLONF and washed one in ordinary detergent. Another, in new Zazz. See the difference for yourself, it really does the business. Five and a half out of seven members of Madness say their enjoyment of the new album has improved with zazz.

The Liberty of Norton Folgate. Out now.

[latouze93]

thank you for the non english speakers

[Pitumisio]

A tad older but nutty as always. Class.

[Mortimore008]

[MMKMads]

[someephemeron]

Hilarious.

[BaggyTrousers]

This stuff is amazing! I tried it with my boxset edition of The Liberty of Norton Folgate and it now sounds brighter adn fresher than ever but be careful, I tried it with a Coldplay album and it didn't work, it just came out all dreary, wet and soggy - oh and it was all yellow.
