@paulloots I meant what I said. I can understand how so many people could be into this, they're certainly talented, but I laughed my way through this whole video. Just not my thing.
@Gritz101 i still dont get how can you defend calling it horrible? It may not be your thing but did it really horrify you to watch it??and if it did why would you laugh all the way through it? things that horrify you cause you to laugh ?? not me
@paulloots I didn't say it was "horrifying"...I said it was "horrible". Two different things. "Horrible", meaning it wasn't pleasing to my ears. It too eccentric and wacky sounding for my tastes. The way that guy is singing is what made me laugh.
The Wrights in early form from the early 80's. Apparently, they had more on their minds of matter than being depressed from a lack of twat. Awesome. Two Pcs. are an amazinig thing. and I'm not talking about KFC.
this adds to the respect i already have for nomeansno. I think in 1oo years when people look back at punk they will finally get the respect they deserve. its hard to comprehend the creativity of these two. sick drumming! (and their kids sang um bop, unbelievable) joke
hey everybody.........like nomeansno? Why not subscribe to my channel? I have nomeansno, built to spill, the halo benders, husker du and many many more coming soon!
I'm the same way. I first got into wrong, worldhood and mr. happy and really wasn't much on mama. but after listening to nmn religiously for about a year, I began to fully appreciate mama. this song, red devil and living is free are among the band's best songs I think. the chemistry between john and rob is not replicable.
Hot diggity I can't believe I'm seeing this. John's drumming has to be seen to be experienced. It's a revelation.
I remember getting into them around wrong and thinking MAMA wasn't very good. Then I saw them perform Red Devil live and it changed everything. Eegads. With two drummers.
Of all the bands I wish I had seen at their seminal moment, these guys I did see right at this time. I was so blown away, however it did mean I had a hard time accepting them with a guitar later on. Thanks so much for the posting.
I remember watching this 'live' on the local community TV channel 10. My grandma was living with us at the time and she and I watched it together. I miss my grandma. I have it on VHS somewhere. They did 2 songs that night.: Rich Guns and Forget Your Life.
This song is greatness. Even this early on in their career, they were making some of the grooviest music I know. It's no surprise to me that it took scant days after discovering them for Nomeansno to become my favorite punk band. I hope they pull a Rolling Stones and continue making music long into their lives.
this is extremely cool, one of my faves. I agree with the "what no grey hair comments" I have seen them live many times and always spend my time watching John on drums - fantastic.
This is far and away the most wonderful thing I have ever seen on youtube. Hell, I didn't even recognize them. I think I assumed they were born with gray hair.
love your band no means no great sound come to portugal lisboa and we can share the same stage for big fun and whatever drink some wine and sardines good
Goddamned great!! No idea why The Swim has this up, but NOMEANSNO is bloody fantastic. This song is nearly twenty years old, but be on the lookout for "Wrong," "Why Do They Call Me Mr. Happy?" and, "Dance Of The Headless Bourgeoisie." Timelessly amazing music and lyrics!
Holy toledo scale ... early cutout & all, this is a gem. Eeriest of all, Rob still has some of those exact same moves - so when is this? 1979 or 1980?
I'd think this is just after Mama... 1982 or so. We're talking almost 25 years ago! If they now are near (or barely passed) the 50s, by that time they were no more than 25 y.o.
Maybe the couple of guys who didn't like this are right,but i just can't avoid to be amazed at how old this is & how young the Wright bros. were.A little treasure for me.Cheers!
axel, i thank you for showing me all the important things i missed until yet. how can i get the trash out of my mind saw before. eyes wide open! dunno what to say. i am unworthy.
Maybe you're right,my good old zsaea,but i can't avoid to cherish this little piece since i had never seen a video of the Wright bros. so young.Anyway, there's a lot of great Nomeansno material around.Cheers!
