This is the Sound of Youth - These Animal Men

[boozyshoutshout]

saw them at the reading festival many moons ago.....they'd gone 70 'glam' by that stage...needless to say they were shit..and off their tits :-/

Not shown, T.A.M's Dad telling them to "Turn that bloody racket down"

[jaytv777]

nostalgia's not what it used to be....didn't appreciate how good these were at the time..played with them a few times..wonder what they're doing now?

[SteviebeatS]

@jaytv777 One of them is now drumming with The Beta Band's Steve Mason and occasionally posts silly vids on here.

[jaytv777]

@SteviebeatS cool..thanks for the info..any tracks on here to check out?

[SteviebeatS]

@jaytv777 Many! Search SteviebeatS or Steve Mason Live :-)

[jaytv777]

@SteviebeatS nice one..I'll be having a snoop!

[subcut23]

one of my favorite bands of all time but saw them in san francisco moons ago but it was not such a good gig for the boys. maybe too tired/worn out? always wondered how their other live gigs compared but they hardly sounded like themselves, very slow and muddy. the recorded songs and performances were ace though, although the later stuff was hit and miss. I do agree they could have been bigger and have always wondered what happened to their climb to the top. they are still on my regular rotation

the greateast!!!! xxx

[sativa303]

This was the first live band I ever seen. @ Leeds, they were supporting Carter USM ! oh' the Memories :)

[jamesheathcote1]

These need to get the act together again..they were the best band around and gave us all some magimental nights.. Mo Solid Gold didn't work for me and not heard the Orphans yet, but bring back TAM..no doubt they can pull it off, they had the vision to do something different, the energy to perform it and the songs. Shame they were not backed more by the industry...but having said that, they would probably be the death of me if I had to try and keep up!!!.. Legends. Always will be.

[blackula74]

[stewcos]

[gibsonsg63]

Love TAM!

[jimmyjimmy1395]

saw Boag at Brighton's kids hospital the other week. he still looks the part. they should've been huge. hope his kid's ok...

[happentodie]

this band kicked ass ! why are they not massive !!!

[totalstranga]

seriously, over here in the states Green Day was huge yet the british NWONW bands were completely ignored despite the similarities.

[happentodie]

yeah ,welcome to the high society is as good as any work ive ever heard ,i could never understand why "these animal men" didnt go global .they were loved by the music press especially nme ,but the nme have got it wrong numerous times still i felt that this band deserved more .

[whilegordonburns]

Christ, this takes me back. Thanks for posting mate.

[mikeyc78xx]

Well actually this was the only single to be taken from High Society, Speeed King and Babylon were on the Too Sussed mini album

[jackrushton]

I suggest that you undertake some research into the usage of the comma. My comma seperates the two parts of my sentence, indicating that the single was BOTH the third single in total AND taken from the 'High Society' album! For my sentence to take the meaning you assume, the comma would have to be removed.

[IbsensGhostUK]

How the hell do you get hold of their music nowadays? I can't find it anywhere, nor any of the other NWONW stuff like S*M*A*S*H and Compulsion.

[populartune]

GAWD i remember how much i fookin LOVE this band!!!

[flicker77]

Echo the other comments. Totally awesome band, brings back some great memories

[ss180jay]

Amazing, the sound track to my youth, and still is.

[mkII20vt]

What a legend, thanks for posting!

[notappreciated]

Thanks, man, for posting it! I was hoping to see this video one more time since 1995, I guess, when it was aired on 120 Minutes. The sound of my youth without any bleeding doubt. These Animal Men, the greatest of them all.
