funny how blur hates this song but we fans love this video cos they just sport terrible hairstyles in other leisure singles. alex is young and lovely :)
@Blinkyboy99 you're a twat you're a twat you're a twat you're a twat you're a twat you're a twat you're a twat you're a twat you're a twat you're a twat you're a twat you're a twat you're a twat you're a twat you're a twat you're a twat you're a twat you're a twat you're a twat you're a twat you wanna hear the remix of this song? It goes a little bit like this: you're a twat you're a twat you're a twat you're a twat you're a twat you're a twat you're a twat!!!
As a fan of architecture, I looked up the "Centre Point" building that Graham Coxon and Damon Albarn are standing in-front of at about the :34 mark. Turns out the building was engineered by the firm of Pell Frischmann, and yes, you guessed it, that firm was founded by Justine Frischmann's father. Justine Frischmann sits to the right of Alex James at the table in this video.
I bought this single 20 years ago this week (where's the time gone!) I went on to see them 4 times from 92-99..Great memories of London esp Camden in the early 90s...Good times
"Bang! Our worst ever. Just appalling, lyrically and musically. If we ever do a singles compilation we’ll rewrite history to omit it.
People come up to us in Italy and they say, ‘Why you no play Bang! Ees my very favourite song!’ And I just find it impossible to continue the conversation. I don’t think you can get it right every single time. You just have to hope it’s right more often than not."
I don't know if it's supposed to, but this video and song make me feel sad. There it seems like they're about my age (I'm 22) but I feel just like the lyrics, like my life is wasting away; have lots of friends, but never had a boyfriend, and I can totally relate to that phrase: I don't need anyone but a little love would make things better :S
this video this song are the best also my favorite song from blur leisure albums great and ......graham coxon makes me insane in this video with this look, and the way heplay the guitar after 2:10 i'm mellting just to see hiim
This is a very overlooked song, you can tell Graham Coxon had inolvment more in the eariliear records......something thats missing not from his solo albums.....Blur need to make another album more like Leisure, Modern Life or Parklife.
The talent here is clear, as the lead singer has Blur, a very succesful band in the 90s and created single handedly The Gorillaz, who were continually popular through the 2000s
I was 15, but too wrapped up in Pearl Jam,Metallica & Nirvana to notice Blur at the time. Once Oasis hit it big here I kind of lumped all of the britpop bands together and labeled them shit. Took until the early 00's before I caught on to just how good the early Blur albums are. Better late than never.
Too bad that I only started to actively listen to rock and pop music when I was 8 (this came out when I was 6), but judging from the other comments, a lot of people here weren't even lucky enough to experience the 90s. It really was an awesome time period. It seems like music just got worse and worse once the 2000s came along...
That couldn't be more true. I hate modern music, I just listen to older stuff I like. Some bands are still making good stuff, but the popular stuff is just horrible.
you sir just need to travel around the world more and look for true artistic modern music. There are a lot of modern musicians in this world who prefers to stay the hell away from the mass media and produce their stuff underground. Also I am confuse about what you meant by popular stuff? do you mean mainstream stuff?
yea, there's some pretty good music out there, you just have to look hard enough and stop comparing everything to zep, pink floyd or whatever. Their music was/is amazing but limiting yourself to it is not very smart. Instead of staying stuck in the past, we should give more support to underground modern bands. That is if we want the music of our time to be remembered for more than singing about disco sticks and smiley faces.

Perhaps Damon came here and disliked it himself:
"Bang! Our worst ever. Just appalling, lyrically and musically. If we ever do a singles compilation we’ll rewrite history to omit it.
People come up to us in Italy and they say, ‘Why you no play Bang! Ees my very favourite song!’ And I just find it impossible to continue the conversation. I don’t think you can get it right every single time. You just have to hope it’s right more often than not."

He didn't create the Gorillaz "single handedly". It was him and his flat-mate Jamie Hewlett. It was more of Jamie's idea, anyway.
