Barry Ryan and Dave Vanian on Good Morning Britain

[TheWolfdude78]

@georgesorass lol!!! It's so true. In their heads, their probably saying to themselves Are we interviewing a fucking vampire right now?

[julieanddavid]

@Cathyd381 you wanna see Vanian face to face he is gawjus 

[julieanddavid]

lol david hadn't been to bed yet

[mollyvamp]

nice!



[GeorgeSorass]

I love how they pretend to not notice "The White Vampyre In The Room".

[taiwarrior1]

Dave Vanian = HOT!!!

[irynski]

lol! Poor Barry & Dave! They both look as though they wish they could disappear into the cracks in the sofa! "Oooh, that's very surreal. You'd like that, wouldn't you, Dave!"

[foolnwhat]

Poor Dave, must have been pretty boring.

[sazzletee]

Dave looks a little bit tired. Probably just past his bedtime.

He looks like a Victorian time traveler who's arrived in the middle of the 1980's. Very out of place, Very eye catching.

I can't imagine he was thrilled at the idea of going on that show but with no Promo Vid, I suppose he/they had to do as much promotion as possible.

[67psych]

Nick owen in lovely cardi & tie & Dave in all his Pomp!!At 8.50am!! LOL!! I use to watch TVAM before school! Ah the 80's !Shine On You Crazy Ann Diamond!

[Medousaki]

unbearably handsome as well!

[HanRylee15]

@Medousaki

agreed <3

[Medousaki]

A pure fashion icon he is...

[TheNaomiengland]

I used to watch this back in the day.

[ninelivecat]

It wasn't the first song to have a video that's a load of crap

[HanRylee15]

Dave's awkward laugh at 9:20 <3

[nicolicious617]

Could you please also upload the portion about petite horses that was apparently part of this episode?

[Bricray]

There are parts of this interview where Barry Ryan looks extremely hacked off! It seems there's a conspiracy to cut him off every time the subject gets round to something he'd relish talking about.

[caz4777]

Dave Vanian's hair style appears to have been inspired by Yvonne de Carlo's, when she played Lily Munster in "The Munsters".

[caz4777]

How in the hell did Anne Diamond get the job? She is rude, dismissive, and hasn't got a clue about the subject matter. Talk about ditzy.

[frolicwitme]

Omg Ann Diamond is such a dumb shit

[mrblifil]

Good god what a low for Dave Vanian. I never liked the Damned without Sensible and it's hard to watch this kind of effort to attract popularity.

[PAULLONDEN]

@mrblifil

Yeah! this sucks. Damned made a few nice tracks though.

"Shadow Of Love"is almost in the same dramatic quality as Ryans "Eloise".

Bytheway , 9 O'clock....that's no time for a vampire.

8:11..as it were...I'll finger your folio any day Ann.

[bibiJ63]

It's always funny, when people do an interview with someone and they only know half about what that person is doing?(Barry DID have a video years before others!) And here in the interview Barry told he already did photography for 7 or 8 years!Some interviewers!

The interview was boring anyway,could see that on Barry's& Dave 's face.Had to laugh when they started about Barry's photography...his whole face lightened up with a great smile...as if somebody woke him up! Couldn't let it ha Barry?LoL

[grahambigvan]

"It really brings it into the 1980's"

and.. another "very first video"

but what about the petite horses?

[sunnsight]

Barry still looks good.

[spidermode]

it is really odd to see dave on this.... he's far too awesome to be with that crowd. lol. he looks very uncomfortable / bored.

love him though.

he's epically cool.

[julieanddavid]

@spidermode he is cool specially when you meet him

[PLasmoEsmata]

how to stretch a few bad questions into an hours worth of daytime tv, love how the weatherman just gets to go HERRO! in a muppet voice.

[frankmakak]

coming up: petite horses

[DerDracheDerHimmel]

After I showed my college roommate this clip, she said it reminded her of Edward Scissorhands. I always thought it looked like Dave crawled out of a coffin to do this interview. That's probably why I love it so much. =P

[Winklepicker1983]

The female inteviewer is a moron!! She is so patronising towards them both. And love how she dismisses Barry Ryan's fairly serious accident by changing the subject. Oh, and her clothes...! It was the 80s but you can't blame a decade for plain old bad taste. She must have been a VIP client at Laura Ashley.

[Disjecta71]

So weird!!!

[pe4cefrog]

lol lol lol lol lol lol lol oh my god

[pe4cefrog]

this is just not right at all! is it a joke????

[pe4cefrog]

is dave so brain destroyingly boring? surely not? did we really have to put up with this in the 80's? no wonder im so bloody fucked up!

[Winklepicker1983]

@pe4cefrog He wasn't boring...he was surrounded by morons (excepting Barry Ryan) who looked upon him as some kind of circus freak...and he knew it. He's waaaaay ahead of them in talent, style & just absolute awesomeness.

[JalandharShere]

god they were talking about banning smoking as far as the mid eighties. only took em 20 years to enforce it. ps anne diamond was fit.

[pe4cefrog]

r u for real? i could put that comment down to a tediously depressing reign of big maggie. or maybe it was 80's shrooms. maybe alien abduction. anne bloody diamond? no! that is so wrong and not right! and my goodness could possibly smoke a stick? damn me to hell lol 3 months? lol

[PAULLONDEN]

8:12...I'll finger your folio anyday Anne ☺

[Jukar123]

stop the hate ;( be nice 2 each other

mi pussy is dripping Rx

[avend666]

rofl

[zaragon59]

Barry Ryan - we miss you singing!! Such talent and such good recordings you made. It's a pity the likes are not made today.

[GANGARENE]

You must hear the orignal of this song...Barry Ryans voice is fnk brilliant...strong strong strong...I know that he and his brother were a team but he could have done with stronger material to bring out the best in what is a cracker of a voice...

[joemgeek]

I know this is an old comment- but STRONGER MATERIAL?

Those Paul Ryan songs are frickin' genius! Magical Spiel, The Hunt, Kitsch...all utterly incredible soaring progessive pop masterpieces

[fatuesque]

Damn it took them 20 years to finally ban the filthy disgusting smokers from raping peoples lungs.

[seerauberjohnny]

Nick is like Alan Partridge here!

Where is the captain?

[stacyblue1980]

Dave Vanian is well spoken. Hot too. even with the hair.

Interesting video/interview. tks 4 posting

[PAULLONDEN]

8 o'clock in the morning.....

must be hell for "vampire" Dave ☻

[stacyblue1980]

Haha! ;P  Yea I know right.

Funny tks.

[julieanddavid]

he hadn't been to bed

[StanPomeray]

Dave Vanian looks like Fenella Fielding in "Carry on Screaming" LOL. But he is definitely a bloody good singer, always has been. Even in fairly mundane Damned songs, Vanian carries them off.

[psychodamned]

Ha Ha ha Dave was not impressed with Nick and Anne - he told me !! Notice how they Talk too Barry,more than Dave ! He said Mr Ryan was a nice fella though.

[julieanddavid]

hahahahaha yea right

[4fsake]

The Damned , I just couldn't be happy today 'till I saw this. Thanks so much for posting.

[vetery1]

Dave Vanian looks as if he had come from another world. The others are dressed "normally" and then you watch Vanian in black...Priceless!

[45rpmsingle]

Barry Ryan`s twin brother Paul Ryan who actually wrote Eloise died on cancer 6 years after this clip . Rather ironic they were talking about Eloise and then about smoking .

[SunshineValentine]

Looks like Anne Diamond wants to join Barry in his darkroom to see what develops...

[DaikyojuGappa]

jajajja dave looks like wtf? idont give a shit

can i just go elsewhere

[darkviewman]

l thought that the moment l seen the promotions shot of depp as todd

[lcwell]

Did the costume designer for Johnny Depp's film 'Sweeney Todd' see this clip and think "ooooh, there's an idea!!" ????

[utbrottstjuv]

haha, i've thought of that too. lol

[CircusOfHeaven]

i've actually set that kinmd of discussion on the message board of Sweeney Todd and everyone was like 'hey they took it from horror films, not from some Dave Vanian who probably also took it from horror films' blah blah blah

[igmorf]

Why not?!!!! Is very possible.

[RootMagazine]

omfg this is so fucking surreal!

[livingabortion]

fuck i love dave vanian...hands down my favorite singer...hes got the raddest voice and his style is amazing...

[psychodamned]

Try The Midwich Cukoos on myspace then! There singers cool !!!!

[livingabortion]

yes i agree...dave is an amazing singer..i absolutely love his voice...

[bennynymphetimine]

wot u mean dave can't sing.

he's an amazing singer...such a classy punk vocalist... saw the damned in leeds last week and dave's voicee was sooo awesome

[xwsftassell]

Dave you can't sing, it's got nothing to do with the fags. Anne Diamond, God, imagine getting up to see that every morning.

[julieanddavid]

David Vanian can sing

so how come the damned are still going then

eh 1976 AND STILL GOING STRONG

[xwsftassell]

Jeeezus, is that what you got me out of bed for?

[psychodamned]

Yep he's a bloody good singer !! Get's better eevrytime I see em !! Good bloke too .

[julieanddavid]

yep he certainly is

[psychodamned]

Take a look at the photo I've stuck up of me n dave way back ha ha !!!

[julieanddavid]

Vanian is sexy

[na2961]

My god, I forgot how bad TVAM was, then again GMTV is not much better.

[123567Salsero]

I totally agree with you about how bad TVAM was in this clip it makes you want to cringe on behalf of the guests.

[tinaturntable]

I miss TVAM!!!!!!!!

[levenepil]

That's classic - TV:AM - How quickly they got off the subject of music and just asked them about smoking - Nick Owen = Alan Partridge

[nowheregirl22]

Yes, Dave looks tired. Maybe getting up early is not one of his habits.

[cronosoft]

Dave is one of the greatest vocalists of all time. His live performances are very nearly as perfect as the studio ones.

[nowheregirl22]

Your voice is unique, Barry. I know that you´re a good photographer, but, don´t quit singing, please.

[Perchakk]

lmfao, dave looks so cute just sitting there with his hair

[elgorfo2]

comming up: petite horses

[harpo10]

God! Where are those days now?Makes me so fuckin sad.

[GatchamanG4]

I agree, we need a time machine!

[duffsmoses]

Great cover!

[emeranneee]

Dave looks bored, your right- but still he looks bloody gorgeous!!!! YUMYUMYUM!

[ingarthon]

i don't think he's bored, i think he's just tired. it was like eight in the morning! really cute to hear them talk about all those non-smoking restaurants, by the way!

[davesbitch]

he was tired hes not use to getting up that early

[nowheregirl22]

But Barry wasn´t tired and he got up early too !!!

[davesbitch]

i mean David Vanian hes not use to getting up that early

[davesbitch]

David Vanian looks bored

[Morganna666]

Love it

[VelvetSun]

Poor Dave he looks so uncomfortable and forgotten T_T

Hey I thought the Beatles' The Fool On The Hill was the first "video"?

[DerDracheDerHimmel]

Yeah, I'd have to agree. That's pretty surreal. But pretty amusing. =P Poor Dave though, he didn't get to talk much at all. Mostly it was Barry Ryan doing the chatting.

[julieanddavid]

there is bits missing weres the question to David Vanian about him sleeping in a Coffin

[motherofpearl13]

Wow, thanks for this. Quite surreal, in a way...

[julieanddavid]

PWOAR THATS WHAT YOU CALL FECKING FIT (David Vanian)
