Hoodoo Gurus - Like Wow Wipeout - live on TV

[FallenAvengerJaPaBen]

no proper clip for sound quality? :'(

[bethany3844]

Love them so much! Killer song.

[mickdimas]

So Ramones, Cramps, Beach Boys. I saw them open for the Bangles.

[MCFCTrick]

Unfair to Brits.....have seen the Gurus and The Church sell out many gigs over here....Love a lot of Aussie bands we do!!

[STOKEOZ1967]

im english and and spent the first half of the 1980's in WA, NSW, +QLD, i loved all the bands from that time during high school, and work, saw the hoodoo's, oils, inxs, mentals,rose tatoo, church, radiators,hunters, barnsey,dragon,pseudo echo,ect.. i was a member of the hoodoo gurus glee club, and they sent me signed picture with brad, dave, james, clyde's, names on it which i still have!

[FFGG22E]

the phrase "under rated" gets tossed around a lot. The Hoodoo Gurus truly are.

How often do you hear them play and not smile?

[KincumberBoy]

Yeah. What a great band. And this is one of their best - I think anyway

[Indianjaine]

I love this song

still have my original Hoodoo Guru tapes (Mars needs Guitars and Stoneage Romeos)

classic and awesome Aussie rock band!!

[MakaJalu]

gurus are such a coool band. check out our live acoustic cover of this song, can post a video lesson of this very easy

[carbidegrd]

I saw them at St Andrews hall in Detroit.

I have seen every one from the Stones to the Pistols. They were the best ever they gavew 110 percent. My jaw was on the ground.

[TheLuckoftheDraw]

i'm surprised that these guys did the tube. the british only really like kylie.

[KarmicAnarchist]

That's a bit of a generalisation isn't it? I'm British, and although I like looking at Kylies arse, I also like other Australian stuff! (Just can't think of any right now)

[TheLuckoftheDraw]

NO IT'S TRUE! BRITISH PEOPLE ONLY LIKE KYLIE! THEY ONLY KNOW KYLIE! I'm sure when the Triffids and Gurus did the Tube, the show lost viewers!!!

[anabashaman]

one of the greatest aussie bands ever

[jpagnew]

Growing up in Sydney I salivated over every Gurus release. They were gods to a tennage boy playing in a band. I saw them live countless times and they are one of the most rocking live acts still.

For me though Blue Cave was their best album. A true journey and great example of well crafted rock

[baldyoldpunk]

nice mullet on the drummer.what was the other tune they did on the tube? was it in the wild? yeah unfortunately the sounds poor but this was probably before stereo tv and video.

[rufus102]

How is the cunt who mixed this? Die.

[Greenhornet7718]

Nice take Scarey. It wasnt the Gurus fault the producers could not get more out of a studio session. Live they were incredible.

[baldyoldpunk]

best live thing i ever saw this tour. two years later they still had it but the albums were always bit weak.

thanks for putting this up

[akadak]

f*** that ! ever heard kinky, blue cave or blow your cool ? faultless. i love this band. loads of people have nicked from them. they shall have their day. yes yes yes yes i'm impressed.

[Cocrteau3]

Like, wow! Super tight black jeans, long hair and paisley shirts combined with killer hooks...well, that's garage rock, and few did it better than the magnificent Gurus!

[scarey725]

Akadak is right. What was weak was the promotion by the label. I was there, and can tell you that here in America, they were left to languish. Typical labels (A&M, Big Time, Elektra and RCA), they get great artists and then promote the cheesiest act on the roster who'd make the quick bucks.... If you've ever met a promotions person (not all by most) from a label, you'd know why. These guys were one of the best of the era.
