Immaculate Fools

[jabestheshed09]

amusing to see 2 yr old post kev is living in a pub in n spain and is happily married to a local girl...an imposter perhaps or doppelganger

[legin1955]

I saw these guys play in Fuengirola in 1986. They were always more popular in Spain than the UK. I remember going to a launch party for some paint company in 1984 and got talking to one of the hired hostesses. Started talking music and it transpired that she was going out with one of the band. Anyway guys, Spain loved you and i´m still playing your music even today. You are being played every day in my car in and around the Costa del Sol and my kids love your music too ! SPAIN STILL LOVES YA !

[The40ytantos]

carreño como rebuscas buena musica

[kapitanmorgan]

joder que tiempos.....

[70misst]

Saw Dirty Ray support The Wonder Stuff in Holmfirth the other week and he was outstanding. I've seen him a few times now and he never fails to impress. If you get the chance go and see him or go and buy his album. Available direct from the record label irl.org.uk

Immaculate Tools

[simonekkay]

Dirty Ray (Kevin Weatherill) will be appearing at glastonbury this year (Tadpole stage - Green futures field) and launching "Shared 2" in Putney London on May 26. Check out my film of the fools performing Through these Eyes

[Yukon095]

never thought ever hear it again!!! Thnx to poster for that! Any time - u're welcome to visit me at SU...

[garciazavaleta]

I saw Immaculate Fools performing in Mexico City circa 1996 at a place called La Paradoja del Gato. I was a couple of meters from them. It was a really awsome!

[mbtrowell]

Lead singer played at Kilvert's Hotel, Hay-on-Wye, 12 April 2011. He's now called Dirty Ray and played bluesy, flamencoish electro acoustic guiter over a Tom Waitsiesh vocal, with all the guts in the world. Marvellous

[sayi60]

Jo, que recuerdos. 1985, cuando conocí al que actualmente es mi marido. Se me pone la carne de gallina cuando oigo esta canción. ¡Que maravilla!

[jonasziwago]

era, es, y será una cancion maravillosa que recuerdos me trae de libertad pero sobretodo de amor yo tenia18 anos

[bolivarbarrera]

"Para Rock.... 101..." Recuerdo de cuarentones de la ciudad de México, oyentes asombrados y gozosos de Rock 101 a mediados de los 80's... Saludos... Para quien guste: en mi canal tengo listas de reproducción de los 80's... con lo mejorcito que hay en youtube sobre la época... Abrazos...

[PocasLucesxD]

esta gente es la ostia, y no me digan q no, gracias .

[oYoYebutu]

Can't we get a stereo version instead? By any chance...

[birdland1]

Yes indeed Psychedelic Furs, Immaculate Fools even Gary Newman all seemed to find it fashionable back then too all do a kind of David Bowie type singing voice

[wistfull1]

Great song, I bought this single in 1985 ish, a few years later I had a Girlfriend who used to hang out with them.....I always tried tell her that the lead singer sounds so much like the one from The Psychedelic Furs who she'd never heard of. (I still think this now by the way!) Anyone else hear the similarities? Anyway great to see this on here as I'd never seen the video until now.

[34bogas]

tienen razón, es un grupo rockcientunico

[zonavir]

Cuando escucho esta canción me acuerdo de los tiempos en que estudiaba en la escuela de artes plásticas en la UNAM (en la Cd. de México).... saludos a todos mis amigos de ese entonces. Que nostalgia. ¿Yo no recuerdo que hayan venido a Mexico? Y !claro! donde más podiamos escuchar esta musica sino en rock 101. Gracias por subir esta canción tan bonita.

[MrSnod]

Bloody great song....a kinda Bee gees look..meets modern english....Truly A great song

[MrVerrazano]

Auch heute, 25 Jahre später, ist das immer noch ein Ohrwurm!

[DrAlban001]

Dette e fan mæ kvalitetsmusikk!!

[dan762]

tenia años que no oia esto, creo que se vinieron a dar una vuelta a México hace algunos años ... los trajo Rock 101.. en aquellos dias

[GAZONO]

Absolutely gorgeous...........saw these lads back in the 80's at Teeside Unversity. We were the old 40 somethings standing at the back of the hall,,,,,drinking all in.....they are truly a miss. totally underated...Sue and Garry

[djjj4]

wow! great song, I used to hear it at Rock101 in Mexico City.

[Maskedhaven]

Awesome! Many many thanks for this upload.

[javvier]

En La Dama de Oro en Cartagena a finales de los 80 tambien lo ponian a saco

[p63500]

ah..must be at least 15 years since I last heard this song,what good memories it brings back! I agree with birdland, this deserves to be a hit again.

[malamuted]

inn*

[malamuted]

i know where he is check out the horseshoe in near rattlinghope in shropshire monday night.... he plays under the name dirty ray.

[quijanostreets]

Con este tema cerré muchas noches la música el disco bar Netova de Cabezón de la sal( Cantabria).

[ericthegod07]

Top band, i saw them in little old exeter devon. STILL NEED LP ON CD.

[biondi44]

Madre mia Alla a finales de los 80,joder!!

En el Planta Baja en Madrid ponían este temazo....

Que buenos recuerdos!!!

[quepinpan]

TREMENDO!!!!

[maitemarron]

si señor, tremendisimo

[JF123123123]

Que musica cuando la oigo me acuerdo de aquellos años 80 y tantos fiesta risas cachondeo y unas ganas enormes de vivir no como ahora inmerso en un monton de problemas que antes ni pensaba escuchando estos maravillosos grupos que me vivir cada fin de semana como hace ya años que no vivo........ barraca , chocolate, spook etc , en fin a vivir de los buenos recuerdos

[bridestones]

I once saw them support Chris De Burgh in Manchester. They were brilliant...

[kayrosx1]

what were you doing going to see chris de burgh? luckily you had a good support act.

[petrusaloisius]

whwhwhwhaaa chris de burg what a totally differnt style of music together :)

[XYEde]

Fantastic band, criminally underrated. I saw them in the "Batschkapp" club in Frankfurt, Germany, and Kevin, the lead singer, got a guy from the audience up on stage to sing this song. Funny, and it worked!

Thanks for posting this!

[Klow81]

Este grupo es otro ejemplo + de cómo el synthpop,technopop...triunfó muchísimo más aquí q allí. En Valencia la peña se volvía totalmente loca con esta gente. Coincidió una época especial, garitos especiales, gente especial, y sobre todo música muy buena como la que hacía esta peña. Grandes tiempos aquellos. Esto sonaba por todas las discos de la Ruta, desde Castellón hasta el sur de Murcia. Esa época nunca morirá gracias a toda esta música. Saludos from Madrid !

[943antonio]

Aún recuerdo mi primera cinta de los locos inmaculados cuando me compre mi primer coche a finales de los 80´,,,,siempre en mi memoria amigos!

[jarjarbigboy]

sounds like bowie to me.

[hammerfalljag]

Underrated band whichever way you look. Last time I saw the lead singer was a few years ago in a folk festival here in North-West Spain. He was there mainly because he had married a local girl from the place where the festival was taking place and had a brief appearance on stage. Thanks for the video.

[Crahspocalypse]

Años!!! Que no escuchaaba esta Cancion =) Saludos desde MX!!!

[currouk]

me encanta... mi hermana tenia la cinta cuando yo era peque... eso, que recuerdos!!!

[aranberri]

Qué ocurriría para sólo apreciarles en España! Geniales!

[alcornoque71]

eso dicen que tenian mas fans aqui que en su pais, por que seria?

[Gredlides]

Buenísimos, cuántos recuerdos.

[ziopizza]

Sono straordinari!!!

[caladvwlch10]

No se porque este grupo tuvo muchos mas seguidores en España que en UK.

A Galicia vinieron varias veces.

[jomanbe1]

en valencia eran de lo mejor

[Erikk66]

hay dos cosas q siempre me llaman la atencion de este grupo:

1. la cantidad de fans q tienen en España

2. lo pronto q han caido en el olvido pese a ser genialmente buenos... :-S

[mvvvfc]

que guapa... me ha gustao mucho

tumoe

[Kocinski69]

Yo también los vi creo que en 1989 en Benicarló, Castellón. Muy populares en ésta zona por aquel entonces y como dicen en inglés "underrated".

Great band!

[xaquinonil]

Fantasticos. Hace 20 años tuve la suerte de verlos 3 veces, en Galicia. El años pasado estuve viendo a kevin,toca en solitario, en un pub y hable con el. Me comento que vendria este año de gira. Parece que podria ser en el mes de marzo y acompañado de varios musicos. Kevin tiene que volver con un grupo y volvera a ser la caña. Grandes locos inmaculados.

[FRENCHNE0]

Sensoria, Thanks for the update, i saw this group for many years ago, a Live Show, in Santa Margarita - Mallorca. It was a great show, i even bought a "immaculate fools" t shirt, but that s a long time ago. Great Song from a great band.

[pere74]

cuantos años hace ya.eran buenisimos.el cantante como dicen aquiabajo se caso con una chica de guitiriz provincia de lugo.

[sensoria62]

Kevin is now living in Lugo, Galicia, Spain, happily married as far as I know. He plays in a pub called "A REIXA" in Santiago de Compostela once a year. Last time I was with him was in 2007...Thats my update...hope it helped! Oh, and THANX for the video!cheers!

[ImmaculateFool101]

La mejor banda que escuche en los 80, son parte de la era RocK 101 en Mexico, y el día que yo muera quiero ser recordado con esta cancion o "Tragic Comedy". Simplemente son los numero 1 para mi

[indivalencia]

impresionante !que musica!

[isabelblanca]

Los vi en directo , y la verdad nunca me he olvidado de ellos, que maravilla de cancion y cuantos recuerdos.

[RITESSE]

muy BUENO

[rtoadietodd]

i had never heard this until today..brilliant!!

[pinchauvascaion]

gracias birdland1 yo solo escucho musica de los 80 y 90 y esta cancion y la de the cure Just Like Heaven son dos de mis favoritas.

[fx203]

All the things that I don't need, always seem to follow me...

[berla65]

genial he vuelto atras en el tiempo ,que alegria, me he sentido un adolescente.esto es buena musica.

un inmacualte.

[cihualtquetzal]

thanks, i love the song

[spacejockeycyrano]

What happened to tese guys? I bought their first album in 1985, therewas some eletric in it but a lot of acoustic too. "everything's measured in money, nothing means nothing anymore". Prophetic words for what was, at that time, a country like the UK caught up in the fever of Thatcherism and riots across the UK due to high jobless totals whilst the rich got richer.

[ricalberto1967]

gracias por alegrarme el dia. la semana.thnaks 4 all iam so glad.

[moodyb]

Thanks so much for posting! I love The Fools!

This song is a true gem indeed!

[derixp]

*****

[rabt1952]

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant band. When will we see "The Wonder of Things". I beleive this is the best thing they have ever done.

[valhalla55]

How long I waited for this song to be on YouTube! Thanks for posting.

[accmex]

No manches acabo de experimentar una regresión de 21 años, neta me acabas de romper la madre con este excelso video, muchas gracias por tomarte el tiempo de hacerlo.

[Ochenter]

Gracias, estaba buscando esta cancion muchos años ya.....

es increible lo que la buena musica pued durar en nuestra memoria, la escuche cuando era niño y siempre me gusto y me gustara.

MUCHISIMAS GRACIAS !!

[oggrp]

immaculate fools - sad me encanta seguro que la conoces

[mazbmac]

i'm back to my 20s, thanks a lot , you are the best. we are still immaculate 'cos those were the days and now we are older but not wiser because in our hearts our dreams are still the same

[icepasion]

Son los mejores

Thanks for the music Immaculate's

[Newmonkeymad]

Truly immaculate stuff - thanks for putting this on here. missed them live so great to see the videos.

[mamideoh]

gracias por este vidio...maravillosa cancion, no me canso de verlo y sobre todo sentirlo muy dentro...

[rafapuchau]

los putos amos, k tiemposssssssss

[martin3801]

the back drop reminds me of willo' the wisp! the tune is good but i imagine they did better live.

[jamatriki]

Hey...!!! Yo también los vi por aquella época (90)... en Totana, en una discoteca... fui con mis padres y mi hermano... yo tendría unos 10 u 11 años...aún lo recuerdo!!!

Tragic Comedy....Gran tema!!!

[xaimepacheco]

yo lo ví en directo en Cangas del Morrazo a principios de los 90, fué un gran concierto toda la discoteca estaba llena y acabamos cantando todos esta canción. Eran más conocidos en Galicia que en Inglaterra. Gracias por el Video

[alberzeta]

@xaimepacheco Es cierto, cuando mi hermano estudiaba en Santiago alla por aquellos años 84-85 esta cancion arrasaba que era una locuraaa.

[alberzeta]

@alberzeta y por cierto es muy bueno el disco HEARTS OF FORTUNE. Era muy innovador en aquela epoca pero no tuvo el exito merecido.

[ysraelbn]

yo he buscado meterial de ellos durante años pero parece que nadie sabe ni quiene son

[losstoneheads]

he is in zamora spain.he is recording with a spanish band.the blue rains.he is the big producter.we are living a dream.he is amazing.bye.pablo.

[Newmonkeymad]

1 of the best singles ever - lyrics brilliant

[GAZONO]

My wife sue and i fell asleep one friday night after going out for a drink and a meal. Woke up with the tv on and this band were playing,thougt they were great,went to see them 1week later at middlesbrough art colledge, they were brilliant!!Nice memories watching this video,Thanks.

[sanj91]

ah well at least they had success

get back to me when you do the same

[santacruzada]

La música de los años 80 era creativa, elegante y con sentimiento. Ahora, salvo honrosas excepciones, es fría,repetitiva y aburrida. Olé.

From Spain, regards.

[jratt2]

I remember they played support to Chris de Burgh at the RDS Symmonscourt Pavillion in Dublin, Ireland, October 1984. They were great.

[sanj91]

hey thats my dad and uncle, i'd like to see you try and do something like that

mug.

[domin1223]

Great!! 5 red stars! :)

[xstargirlx88]

p.s i love my dad :)

[xstargirlx88]

omg my dads the drummer peter ross

aaaah hahaha :)

[poet1972]

This is one of the 4 videos the band released over the years. Great. I'll always be the biggest fan of them.

[frenillo69]

Algún dia tendré la pasta para poder reunirlos de nuevo¡¡¡¡

Forza immaculate, Forza Tola¡¡¡

[woefbeer]

I've searched and searched and sear....and now I've found this beautiful song! Thankx!!!

[csigyoo]

hi. can somebody send me albums from this band? i someone can please send a message for me here thanks

[jovigabe]

yo también tuve la suerte de verles en directo...

Y me han traído muchos recuerdos... nos hacemos mayores, Creo que el grupo quedo "atrapado" por Lorca, y nuestra cultura y la mayor parte de su carrera y conciertos los hicieron en España... Todavía tengo sus discos (vinilo)pura poesía...

[ramongalindonoriega]

It's amazing the way these guys of Immaculate Fools have been an important part of the music taste of people around the world... and how many of us can not understand how come they are not considered one of the greatest rock bands ever... hey lads, from Mexico, with respect and addmiration, we salute you...

[comsat1000]

magic

[mikanoid]

A seriously underrated band. Great to see the video again after 20 or some odd years. Prize for the best mullet must go to the bass player.

[assimptotico]

Back in 1986, a spanish friend of mine who I met while

living in London, gave me their tape which I liked very

much and still keep(a rarity?)The song just reminds me of a very nice time in my life. Thanks for the vid!

[NeilZigZag]

Peter Ross was the original drummer playing on the first two albums. After that Peter and his brother Andy - the guitarist parted from the band. Skidz (Paul Skidmore)joined for the third album "Another Man's World" I'm afraid I'm a bit hazy about dates though.

[NeilZigZag]

Great to see this video. I was one of Immaculate Fools "Road Filth" for years. I've never actually seen the video before but their music features regularly on my HiFi (I have 5 CD albums and one album on vinyl). This band was truly brilliant and were unbelievably massive in Spain with a good following elsewhere too. If you never saw them live you really did miss out!

[frompixieland]

qué recuerdos! mi padre no me dejó ir a verlos en La Coruña a mediados de los 80...siempre me quedé con las ganas de ir a un concierto suyo. Fabuloso grupo.

[luke182]

My uncle was the drummer for immacualte fools (paul skidmore). his kit is sitting up in my room now!

[sanj91]

my dad was the original drummer

when did your uncle join mate?

[luke182]

errm im not sure it was a bit before my time. i'll find out though...

[malti66]

hey mate - can your dad direct me to where I can buy the first album on cd???

Mike

MALTA

[plonker15]

my daughter spotted her old man in this vid. Keep seeing me in front,blond hair and singing my little head off. Great times,great band and whats this about a fan club?

[birdland1]

Hi there I posted up the video on youtube are you the guy clapping in the crowd or do you mean you are the blonde guitar player? where did the audience for the video come from were they all friends and family & fans?

[plonker15]

I'm the guy clapping in the crowd which was made up of friends and family.

Used to play in a band called TV Dinners with Paul the base player and in a band called Chalet before that. Have been mates with Kev and Paul since we were very young.Kev not very well at the moment and is in hospital for an operaration so we should all wish him well.

[badgerbrockhurst]

I've got all the Immaculate Fools music. Why are they so unrecognised - weird. Songs like Dumb Poet, Killing Field and No Gods, No Masters are awesome.

[sanj91]

come and join the immaculate fools myspace fan site!

[sanj91]

everyone join the immaculate fools reunion at myspace . com/ immaculatefoolsofficial

mcuh love (the drummers son :))

[aranberri]

Todavía es mejor Hearts of fortune. Qué tiempos!

[seddemal]

Muchas gracias por poner este video. ¡¡Qué recuerdos!!(Thank you very much for posting this video. Some memories!)

[evherran2]

Que recuerdos... e El concierto de despedida del grupo lo celebraron en un pequeño local de Salamanca (creo que se llamaba "Santa Barbara")todavía me emociono al recordarlo...

[birdland1]

I think the other song was removed as anything on here tagged MTV gets removed for copyright reasons very childish as really stuff on here doesn't hurt anyone infact MTV material on YouTube actually promotes MTV free of charge! but they are too dumb to see that! like most big companies who just want to bully the little guy!

[griggs66]

can someone please post tragic comedy

thanks

[griggs66]

what happened to tragic comedy ... can someone please post

[blindwilliehighlight]

Me emociona encontrar mensajes en mi idioma para recordar a un grupo tan grande. Los Immaculate son inmortales.

[latxuki]

I used to love this record. Does anybody have any other songs from this band to post?

[birdland1]

they have an official Immaculate fools page on Myspace!

[papagena06]

Gracias!!

Dedicado a aquellas noches en las que gané y perdí amigos, en las que eramos todo y el resto sobraba, en las que la amistad estaba por encima de todo.

Especialmente a los locos inmaculados que se quedaron en el camino.

Mil gracias

[dolcebus]

que tiempos aquellos,calidad ,dulzura.dos veces los vi en directo gracias por ponerlos aqui.

[wavehopper61]

Yo también llevaba años buscando esta canción.

Junto a Whole of the moon de los Waterboys es una de mis preferidas.

[lavozdelnorte]

Canciones como esta ya no se hacen, al igual que grupos como este.

[jools483]

Thanks for sharing !!! Haven't heard this for years . .. great memories. I think if you look on MySpace & search for Kevin Weatherall there is some info on Kevin and the band.
