Erasure "Chains of Love" Live, Rosie O'Donnell Show (3/3)

[laraconstanza]

exelente, muy bueno

[elricksta]

Never seen a white girl back up lol

[tehkao]

Man if I was in that crowd I would be screaming my head off.

[JeffreySunshine1]

Wow -- That was hot! -- I thought that song was on the innocents.

[AndreVlaamsValle]

sounds like she says in the end ERASER! lol

[Bd951]

Can any of you synth folks explain how Vince Clarke can generate this whole song through one keyboard? I know very little about synths. Thanks.

[CartoonsAndGameShows]

@Bd951 I love SynthPop, but I'm no expert. I think its through the use of "backing tracks". He simply plays the parts he wants to over the other parts being played over the sound system. I think that's how it is, but if I'm wrong, please correct me. But thats how a lot of my favorite SynthPop bands play live.

[Bd951]

@CartoonsAndGameShows That makes sense. BTW just watched this BBC great doc you might be interested in on synth bands (On Youtube): Videodrome Discothèque Presents: The Great British Synth Documentary

[CartoonsAndGameShows]

I miss the Rosie O'Donnell show. Oh, And Erasure is awesome!

[TheIchiban1974]

Yes, they are gay...Erasure has a very big straight following...I am one of them...and yes followed them since I was in high school. I wish people just stop and listen to the lyrics..they are for everyone...they will be on tour in summer 2011 rumored and I am bringing my metal head husband with me...Erasure is a great show

[Viadrus96]

@TheIchiban1974 No, only Andy Bell is gay. 

[shawnzi24]

safe to say hes gay

[nolangleason]

this is proof that being gay is not a choice lol

[gahloot]

@shawnzi24 He isn't gay,but he did stay at a Holiday Inn Express!

[queercat]

I Triple LOVE Rose O'Donnell and Erasure!!!!!!!!

[mrsunshineshines]

I'm straight. So I can't stand Rosie. Have no problem with gays. But this is just another one of the greatest 80's tunes sung by one powerful voice...

[Herentx]

Maybe YOU are the one that needs to stay off the internet. It's people like you that keeps hate and anger alive today. I believe the name "Hitler" belongs to you and your kind of haters. 

[MultiMrfalcon]

Like this group, hate the fat fucking bitch named Rosie.

[Herentx]

@MultiMrfalcon that fat fucking bitch has helped everyone...not only the gay community...guess you are living in another world...stay in your world, because people like you cause problems for the rest of us...so shut the fuck up...."your" opinion is NOT welcomed.

[MultiMrfalcon]

@Herentx What are you a speach nazi? The woman is a waste of human life and is one the most hateful person's walking the face of the earth. If you don't like other people's opinions stay off the internet hitler. You are a typical liberal hypocrit, aren't youy nazi?

[zelaaman]

I wish everyone! who bashes him coz hes gay would STFU! So Fucking What!

[tehkao]

Damn this sounds so good!!!

[chemicalreagent]

God damn O'Donnell and God Bless Erasure!!!!!

[whatagoodboy71]

This is so great!!! I've been listening to Erasure since the very beginning--back in the 80's as a gay teenager. Andy really inspired me to just be proud of who I was. Still makes me smile! Thanks for posting!

[Syndilu25]

this was about the hippest RO I've ever seen

[Froggie2121]

Umm I got lost in the comments. So what if Bell is gay? His co-singer isn't. Big deal? I'm sure some of his enourage is of isn't gay. Who knows? Who cares? Erasure is a very cool-soudning band. Period.

[drunkdonutboy]

I don't care if this guy is gay this song kicks ass.

[Kelli69]

@drunkdonutboy Wow, good for you for not caring that he's gay. You're so progressive!

[MiaoPurrington]

I love this. i liked the Rosie O'Donnell show.

[DaveWollenberg]

Hit #12 in the US (Billboard). How'd it do in the UK?

[mulrine83]

@DaveWollenberg #11 - should have done better though - one of their strongest tracks

[desertlonghair]

Hey, I think it's great Rosie got to sing with them. After all, what other U.S. shows would give Erasure the time of day? Haven't seen other talk shows nor Saturday Night Live give them a chance.... at least this way the GLBT community was giving each other some help!

[Wiser72]

They also played on RuPaul's VH-1 show in '97 (Don't Say Your Love Is Killing Me) and on Late Night With Carson Daly in 2005 (Breathe). Rosie really gave them a lot of air time. Two songs and an inteview. That was nice.

[panhardbar]

Hopefully Rosie's mic is turned off.

[MrDianaprince]

my ex- best friend looks like Andy Bell's twin,it's scary!

[skrikon]

It's kind of cute that Rosie is stading there!

[Froggie2121]

wow! Major blast from the past. I used hairspray! LOL Ya gotta love the 80s!

[UptheCreeeek]

love erasure...but god, rosie was an annoyonce

[MRJAVIER196619862009]

[PPLUIS80S]

[Knocking4agoodtime]

I love Erasure, and the backing singers are cool too, but CHUNKY BUTT needs to step off!

[PPLUIS80S]

[MrHornback]

ROSIE SCREWS UP AT 1:18

[danu1mother3]

[Bufa491us]

Vince Clark was also in "Depeche Mode" in 1980 - 1981. "Yazoo" in 1981 - 1983. "Erasure" in 1985

[lilerichotwheels24]

Love this song, reminds me of having a crush on a certain girl in school :)

[dramarmz]

[madamdarth]

I miss this show. She always had the best artists on her show.

[blossom1918]

[rakrobn]

Erasure (the lead singer) is CUTE!!!

[4zR43LxTh3xV15u4L]

He's also one of the first openly gay performers in the music industry. :3

[rakrobn]

I should have known, too good to be true. He's too cute esp. at 0:30, not to mention way too good dance moves.

[2degucitas]

So true!!  He and Boy George.

[ktsunshine7]

Yes bruceld!!

U should really hear them live!!

[bruceld]

Damn he can SURE belt out a tune....LIVE!

Holy crap!

[02h8u]

Yes, he can. And sometimes I feel he sounds better live, IMO.  :)

[loveczecks]

Napajelda:

Fucking Jewish Gay Stuff? Did we all read you right. We as fellow Czecks are deeply embarrassed by your thoughtless comments. I urge everyone reading this to let this young man know what a fool he is for making such a comment, especially since he sees himself as somewhat of a celebrity in the tennis circuit. Please join me in demanding an apology from this

bounced Czeck.

[napajedla]

yes,guys are very supported by zionist jews,they only care about breaking up the families,they fear of strong white christian family,they hate coharent ,big groups..dont forget ,gays do not have a kids ,so they easy to get manipulate......they wanted to start race wars in the future..after they destroy economy...nothing aganist Erasure -- they are superb music ,my favourite and Vince is not a gay,but I like Andy sing too.

[napajedla]

i mean ,yes GAYS.,...not guys..sorry ..

music is cool ,but crazy media supporting of gays is not.!..madia are own by zionist jews...

[napajedla]

fucking jewish gay stuff

[loveczecks]

Idiot. Napa, my boy,  how could you jeopardize your entire career with just a few stupid words? Apologize now or suffer the social shame.

[napajedla]

apologize for what ?

you crazy little czech from prague..

dont cry ...wait for a gay love parade in Berlin and shut up feck up ...

[ktsunshine7]

I agree with loveczecks.

I also feel sorry for you Napa. U must be a miserable person with lots of issues.

[DaveUndertaker]

This song has special memories for me. My good friend Ricardo Villa recently married his long-term partner kev from the official Erasure forum and they played this song as they tied the knot. Beautiful.
