Check out my video for the song "An American Dream" by Love and Rockets on my channel... It's a bit controversial. The American Dream comes at the cost of others, which is what my video depicts.
I need to find an elusive 80's rock video. Don't know the band or the song, but I recall seeing glimpes of the B&W shots. The lead singer is sitting in an low, white arm chair (like the Maxell ad) in a small white room with 4 doors, surrounded by tall, skinny, pale and glamorous people, sipping martinis, big hats. the memorable part comes at the end when the women are banging the doors with open hands, and the singer guy is just yelling out "Ee-Yah! Ee-Yah! E-Yah!" over again, wind effects
Its great how these guys (formally of Bauhaus) had some influence on Nine Inch Nails!
Late 80's/early 90's, those were the days. This kind of reminds me of NIN's "Down in it". this group actually is cat. as Goth rock, what have you. Thats just great.
I remember listening to this tune that summer on my way to the beach. Under the Milky Way by the Church was also a huge hit that summer. The 80's were fantastic!
im 24, i was born in the 80s but I did not respect this awesome decade till like 5 years ago. SO much better than "music" of today. You are cool ilikelennon
The thing that made the 80's so much better than today's music is that there was so much originality and so many people experimented with so many different sounds. Today it's all about sounding like that last guy that sold a million records because that's what's hot. In the 80's there was such an influx of European and Australian bands that got airplay that brought such a different sound than what we were used to. MTV playing videos certainly helped too....
One of the coolest sounding records that I heard in fall 1989 before the floods of pop releases that season. Best to hear with the windows down in your car and the wind blowing!
The lead singer sounds sexy singing it as well as the heavenly female backup singers. The bass guitar is kicking and the drummer and keyboards give the song such a cool landscape! This was a good career making record for them and boosted their album's sales!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i just saw these guys live at lolla 08', what a piece of crap band, this was their biggest hit ever and they didnt even play it, they are so old now the bassist came out on a walker, sad.
I went through the same thing. I grew up in the 80's and everyone was into hair metal. Only a select few nerds listened to this stuff. I was more of a Zep, Hendrix fan. Then in the early nineties my friend joined a band and the singer was into Bauhaus, Bowie, and the Cure. He introduced me to 80's alternative, and I have been into these guys (and Bauhaus and the Cure) ever since. Right now I am going thru the same thing with Morphine. No one I know has a clue who they are. Oh well.
TribalChurch - I went through the same thing years ago until a girlfriend introduced me to their album "Earth, Sun, Moon" there has been nothing that tops L&R since then.........
I heard this song on the radio years ago-loved it straight away, and bought the single Since then, I've met many people who are really into music, but no-one I asked had ever heard of this song/group! For years, I thought I was their solo fan club!-until I did a search for them on the Internet, and discovered they'd done loads of stuff! Still can't understand why nobody I know knew them -- but took great pleasure in introducing friends to this incredibly sexy song!!
I had given up hope of anyone believing me that this group or song existed,I thought I dreamed it,it's great to finally find it isn't it?The sound quality is the best!
Weird! When I saw how much stuff they'd done, I thought they must just be big in America and hadn't really made it in UK and Ireland. But I see that you, msstevie1951 and feeesh are both American and have had the same experience I had of apparently nobody else having heard of them! So I'm well baffled -- why have they become one of the 'best-kept-secret' mega bands ever?!
Yes I'm a red blooded American Woman and I knew there had to be other people out there somewhere who love this sexy song! I first heard it in 89 then suddenly no one was playing it,it took some research to find out who they were and the title of the song.So 19 years later here we are an underground group of L/R fans coming together on You Tube!lol It's a great song,they should re-release it and see what it would do this time around!
Great quality sound. I noticed it immediately. I agree with "wiergoust" ... I wish I could have come of age in the 80's. But I came of age in the 2000's - ugh. :-)
God, I remember when Love and Rockets was just Buahouse! Great memories with this song! It is about ecstacy, and it was fun to listien to on, BERFORE IT BECAME ILLEAGAL! Yes you teenagers seeing this video, ecstacy USED TO BE LEGAL AND WAS MANUFACTURED IN A SAFE ENVIRONMENT compared to the trash they sell kids today! THANKS GEORGE H. BUSH!
Song still sounds good 30 years later.
