Tom Verlaine - Glory

[AlNaafiysh]

I like the presenter's hair, looks all electrified. Great video thanks for uploading!

[blackyfloyd]

who was first patti or tom? the both employ a very similar vocal style. i feel pretty sure that he developed it originally and that upon hearing him, patti absorbed it into her own delivery. but that is only my hunch...

[hamiltondevereaux]

Not everyone in USA has forgotten about Television. My favorite band, with the Pixies--who else brings it like that"

[tennis11ish]

Great track, by the way.....just discovering more about Tom Verlaine.

[DJkevvykev]

Blimey ! Thanks for the Spanglish commentary, but music fans jump to 1:50

[gdubh]

thanks Alvaro..I appreciate the translation!

[gdubh]

could anyone give a version of what the presenter is saying? Great to see Euro channels giving the coverage to unique artists..sure Tom didn't complain..)

[Alvarotheking]

Ok. This is what Paloma says. Sorry for my poor english:

Good night. Today at La Edad de Oro we have the show of a man with some reputation of being a reserved intellectual guy, an introverted artist and a little bit nihilistic. His name is Tom Verlaine, and although he does not like to talk about the past, it is necessary to remind that he made himself known in the mid seventies with Television, the band in which he sang, wrote songs and played guitar. The first LP of the band, Marquee...

[tennis11ish]

@Alvarotheking - thank you very much for this translation. Many people outside the USA have NO care, no knowledge of anything on another continent. I know, I am from Canada. Our neighbour, right next door, does not know ANYTHING about Canada! Your translation creates knowledge = GOOD for the world. Thank you.

[Alvarotheking]

... Moon was an essential record for many of us, and above all, for 70´s rock. But, although it was a catalog of solutions and alternatives for the crisis of creativity that music suffered at that time, and despite the great future that everybody forecasted for the band, it broke up after a controversial second LP. Then, Tom Verlaine began a career as a solo artist, hand he has recorded a number of albums that critics, lacking a better definition, have described as music for minorities,...

[Alvarotheking]

...maybe because his worrying and sometimes raw or occasionally painful songs do not convince the general public. We could say that his songs do not offer a shelter.

And that is the way in which Verlaine usually wrote songs, because now, his latest album Cover is, in his own words, a much more relaxed and more natural.

The thing is that the music of this pale newyorker is exceptionally strong in accent and expressiveness. It is enough to listen how he modulates his voice, how he modulates...

[estimulatorloco]

Como habla la perra esta...

[frankdialogue]

'Yanqui Tom Verlaine toca la guitarra'...It's 'Yanqui Time'...Good little band, but Tom's guitar sounds like shit...I must say, though, I saw the version of Television with Jimmy Ripp in NYC Central Park a few years ago, and Richard Lloyd was not missed...Verlaine really sounded good, best I ever heard him play...They did a lot of stretched out intros, long instrumental sections, and Verlaine played great...The sound got better as you moved out of the amphitheater there.

[thenameisbond]

skip to the 2:00 mark for the performance

[elisaloba]

[truewesterner]

[objetovolantenoiden]

paloma chamorro, hablabas como el culo, macho

[domenicofo]

Actually she says very intelligent and insightful things about Verlaine, Television and their importance in the rock scene.

[wallyjumblatdadsdog]

@domenicofo Actually, shut the fuck up bitch and let the talent have the limelight as they deserve it, as opposed to presenter tart nobody gives a fuck about.

[jmitch30tube]

@wallyjumblatdadsdog

How dare she pass comment on something.

[Detroit1967]

How about learning Spanish for a change instead of moaning ; )

[DeeDeeVerlaine]

What an annoying spanish lady

[brendanseanbarry]

Amazing song! Sounds better with every listen.

[larry1754]

It's great to see Tom live, but this is a pale version of the original song from Television's Adventure album. I've posted a video on my page where I play backup guitar to the original song (straight from the record), at least there you can hear the original version!

[pierrebarraud]

Elle parle trop...

Ausgang, agreed. She may have gone on a bit long, but it's more coverage than Verlaine ever got on American TV.

[CtrlAltDan]

do yourselves a favor and just skip to 1:54. that's when the actual playing starts

[tamfunk]

Cheers man, that's more Spanish than i needed to hear! :)

[DiegoCR74]

La pronunciación española del inglés es la locura!!

[cle63]

If you're a Verlaine fan, you should search Youtube for "Tom Verlaine and Jimmy Rip - Music for Experimental Film" There are three clips from the program in which they played to short silent films.
