Richard Hell's Replaceable Head

[udohood]

The first voidoids didnt have that Quinine guy..."hell put out a single W Blank G, You gotta lose & i could live with you in another world......its the freshest.......after that he did a weird thing that you cant know a bout 'cause only one person has the tapes....he svengallied a Debutant " Susan Springfeild" he got her to front a band called "The Erasers"......'she was so beautifull... later he slummed upward w Patti Smyth

[RossM3838]

Is that Marc Bell (marky ramone) on drums?

[idontwantohurtnobody]

richerd hell liked dildoes with replaceable heads becouse Dee Dee Ramone kept wearing em out rammin em in richerds ass....thats what this song is based upon....,,,dipshits...........

[MyOtherUser2]

I've heard 3 versions of this song. All fantastic.

[animecosmo]

I think you don't hear much about Richard because he wasn't mainstream at all and frankly neither was Lester Bangs, hence little play was granted. Sad

[tonlo92]

Anyone read his book "Notebook From Hell"? Great writing.

[ClashCityRockers0]

@tonlo92 No I haven't! I might ask him about it - I never heard of it before. What's it like?

[tonlo92]

@ClashCityRockers0 Its a small book called "Artifact! Notebooks from Hell 1974-1980" you can find it on Amazon.

[TheDublJ]

@ClashCityRockers0 you know him?!?!



[RockRican]

Gentlemen! 1-2-3-4!

[chrissstopherG]

this is poetreey! don't get carried away...

[pazzensutra]

RH was really funny and poetic. I often wonder why you don't hear more about him. Boy, that picture of him....he looks like he could be the son of Frankenstein's monster. Blank Generation is a great album, this song should have been on there.

[ClashCityRockers0]

I've wondered that too. He's a great songwriter, Blank Generation is a classic record. He's a very nice guy too, always offering his fans gifts and the like. It's a marvel he sells any books that way!

[RossM3838]

@ClashCityRockers0 a reworked version of this song does appear on their next album Destiny Street recorded 8 years later.

[ClashCityRockers0]

@RossM3838 I do know that.

[RossM3838]

@pazzensutra Was? Is! Richard is alive and well and just as talented and funny and as ever.

@ ClashCityRockers0

Many thanx 4 such a FUCKIN' BAD hit!

[ClashCityRockers0]

Delighted.

[slosh77]

restrain yourselves, ladies n gents lol

[ClashCityRockers0]

His patter is gold! haha

[lizthestrummer]

fuckin' hell .. his voice is electric ... the song .. wow!

[menacetech9d4]

fuck yes

[Slammerworm1]

This is one fantastic song. The Voidoids were one of the finest punk bands ever; they had lyrical smarts, great songs, a wealth of musicianship, yet remain criminally underrated. If for nothing else, Hell deserves our thanks for getting Robert Quine back into playing his sublime jazz-punk guitar (he'd actually given up years before!).

[ClashCityRockers0]

Hear, hear! *major applause*

[coshthedriver78]

[bassist4141]

Do you have to respond to every comment posted on your videos?

[ClashCityRockers0]

I never thought about it actually... it's impractical I suppose but it's a habit of mine. Glad none get many views! ;)

[pennyblack21]

Utterly wonderful....he has great substance....loving it. :)

[ClashCityRockers0]

Haha thanks ... I'll choose to ignore the remark on "substance" as he was a heroin addict ... but thank you ;)

[malalajka789]

i love his voice

[crassisdead]

[ClashCityRockers0]

[lilaciao]

[catsboyscandy]

I'm so glad you posted this... I like the slight drawl in his voice when he speaks.

[ClashCityRockers0]

Richard's voice is amazing!
