Tony Wilson Introduces Happy Mondays Coachella 2007

[TheSambo]

[lanoviadepetedoherty]

toooooooooooooooooooonyyyyyyyy­yyyyyyyyyyyyy i love youuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!

[butohimitsex]

great tony wilson!

[ricobane]

Legendary!! brings tears to my eyes.

[ghostscantkill]

Gotta love the guy.

R.I.P. Tony

[frillonandu]

how the hell did ryder and bez out live him?

[eatdogs]

ha ha lol

funny question. maybe it was the drugs???

[TrowbridgeHardcore]

@frillonandu maby the drugs they were takin were bad on there own but when they started mixing heroine methadone crack and e they accidentelly invented a life preserver

[yakacm]

No one is probably more surprised than him that ppl believe all his hype and bollocks, he is like John Peel he made a living out of being a wanker, then all of a sudden ppl started taking him seriously. Manchester has some of the biggest most influential bands ever, none of which were signed to Factory, no Oasis, Stone Roses or Smiths. Joy Division and the Monday's are gr8 bands but not what Tony Wilson made out, can't knock his enthusiasm though god rest his soul.

[0TedMaul0]

Let me guess you're a civil servant.

[yakacm]

Let me guess, when you can't think of anything to say call them a civil servant. How has that been working out for you? You could try 'I know you are but what am I' for a bit of variety

[0TedMaul0]

Well, despite all the the technological breakthroughs and discoveries that have taken place over both our lifetimes, it still took you 3 months to reply to me, so you clearly you are a civil servant.

[DetectiveUtah]

well....the mondays probably werent that good musically,but it was all about attitude...theyre legends cos for the first time in history there was someone saying "we've been all this time so worried about how the worlds going on and now i just dont want to pay attention and i just wanna party"...there wouldnt be any party-animal attitude nowadays if it isnt cos of the mondays.they were the first and they influenced all the rave culture we all know now.if thats nothing...

[yakacm]

I'd agree with that, I remeber seeing the monday's hallelujah video on TV on a Saturday morning after I had been out the night b4, and you could see he was monged, we had been going raving for a couple of months by then and he was about the first person I had seen on TV that had anything to do with it.

[DPTG23]

let me guess, you are a cunt?

[ptheod82]

hey Tony never met you but i ll never stop loving you.

You change the planet.

RESPECT

R.I.P.

[gavinroyle]

We still love you to or anthony or tony or whatever your called. God bless you, no one reads the news like you.

[Randlor]

I love this guy. Without him and his vision, almost all of my favorite music would not exist.

[RebeccaChambersBF]

Tony you gave me "Joy Division" thank you so much.

[planetery]

Cheers, Tone. Say hi to Ian & Martin for us...

[scifitim]

Legend....amazing guy....

[synthwerk]

Funny thing is that half the people in the audience probably wouldn't have gotten this had they not seen 24 Hour Party People.

[opiate115]

What a fucking legend. He was right about Mick Hucknall. RIP.

[mjrinaldi]

Thanks for everything Tony, we'll miss you.

[plummyscum]

Surely the driving force behind the regeneration and repopulation of all the North West's innner cities?

All those bars and cafes you people frequent are there because of this man - understand that.

[poppypeluka]

el video es increible gracias a happy mondays y tony por todo

[slbochnia]

Thanks Tony, You did so much for us...

R.I.P.

[jaytotale]

fucking legend!!!

[indigo3030]

We love Tony Wilson!

[giommo]

Standing until the end.

Great Tony.

RIP

[gforce1969]

Thanks for uploading this. I missed the third day of Coachella. Hopefully Tony and Ian are enjoying a pint at the Rock and Nail pub behind the pearly gates.

[Viktinp]

[sfb29]

r.i.p mr wilson, my hero

[joliecide]

[zimmy81]

[TheDangerman7]

RIP Tony

[monkeyhanger007]

[kidcodea]

rip

[wojj7]

Polls such as these are almost as tedious as you are, compiled of small middle class samples that dont give anywhere near an accurate representation of the UK and serve only as a means of perpetuating the south-eastern skew that is prevalent throughout most of the UKs media and publishing. I could go on and on at you but i shall not, you are a complete and utter waste of time "professor"

[wojj7]

No, i think you'll find you are a symbol of the out dated and antiquated views that still have aplace in this country. With all this third city nonsense you keep on spouting i couldnt care less what number city manchester was given so long as manchester remained manchester. I think you'll find Plymouth has the highest amount of rainfall in the UK and as for gun crime, i think you'll find london tops the list there. Worst place to live in the UK?

[ThisCharmingManc]

Manchester is the ninth wettest city in the uk after the likes of Swansea,Glasgow and Plymouth. There is no way there is more violence than London. Its the best place in the uk, and there is nowhere in the world that has done so much and made so much history than the north west of england. FACT.

[ezandy01]

rest easy Tony

[wojj7]

Rob Right, please do yourself and everyone else a favour by keeping your blinkered and ignorant opinions to yourself, you clearly have no real clue what you're talking about. Im actually quite angry now when all i wanted to do was watch this Tony Wilson vid.

[tampere2006]

London or Londistan as everyone else calls it. 18 murders this year is it?

[tampere2006]

Manchester long surpassed LOndon and Birmingham. Its only southerners who think London is great.

[Ryprtide]

RIP Tony!

[adeblair]

Tony, you crated the sound track to my youth.Hope you are promoting Ian Curtis in the big gig in the sky!

[RevDru]

I was standing in about the same spot from where this footage was shot. As soon as I saw Tony walk onto stage, I fell into a short moment of shock. I recovered enough to snap off 3 or 4 quick photos of this legendary man. He will be greatly missed. Rest in peace, Tony.

[bc1050]

RIP Tony

Caracas Venezuela

[sarcasmoTV]

forever

thank you soo much mr wilson!

from sarcasmo records bogota colombia

[dukes007]

i cant believe he's gone its really sad, he was truly one of the forces and its because of him the manchester scene happened

[deyoungparker]

I've got to be honest with you, right now I'd rather be sweeping the Pennines.

[nashbeats]

RIP Tony, thanks to you we will all continue to strive to be 24 hour party people.

[ELLIOTEASTWICK]

ahh- he looks nice there.

[notasilverspooner]

^^^ my above comment was made to a post which has now been spammed in case u were wondering

[notasilverspooner]

OMF PRR- You're the same person from the BBC forum. Grow up will you, you fucking sad loser and Get a life.

Whatever chip it is you have (on your shoulder) fucking get over it, Rob. Grow up, and start acting your age.

[andreandeahhh]

God Rest your Soul Tony Wilson. Rest In Peace forever.. I'll see you later

[violanechacha]

gutted

[saintangelsin]

I wish I could've been at that concert. It breaks my heart that he was so ill and that he passed away. I owe that man so much gratitude for the passion he had for music and journalism. he was a bit of an inspiration to me.

RIP!

[andreandeahhh]

I was there! yet, I was about 3 or 4 minutes late into the set so I unfortunately missed my ONLY opportunity to witness this legend in the flesh.

[frenchymarcell]

Rest In Peace, Tony.

[adrianmdrtto]

We will miss Tony Wilson

RIP

[greenforqueen]

Rip Tony, tell Ian and Martin I said hello, and thank

all of you for the music that defined my life..."one of the girls from Chicago"

[havokhead]

RIP Tony

[elchaini]

I was at coachella by the way! I saw the making of this video!

[elchaini]

i will pop an E on your honour ...

[GAZZA251170]

RIP

[MarkEdwards101]

Tony was a visionary.The world is now a duller place without his presence.RIP TW.

[faolai68]

Rip tony did more for manchester than people give him credit Would have been no manchester scene without him

[mannyposh]

My friend flew over from england and saw this. Just found out the sad news. RIP and thanks for giving so many acts the chance to shine ! :(

[33Hz]

So sad to see Tony looking gaunt and with a stick there. RIP Mr Manchester, you did us proud.

[stuc826]

R.I.P GREAT MAN!

[nikkeljoe]

poor old tony died tonight, 7 0 clock uk time, rip geezer

[Stereolabdream]

Goodbye Tony, and thanks for the music you erm, didn't make. If you know what I mean.

[armanistyle88]

skinny skinny skinny

[nikjagger]

tony wilson was an is a visionary ,

the mondays are very funny delinquents

[JoyDivisionChris]

fuck the yanks, ignorant redneck cunts

[Rasko84]

Wilson you fucking cunt!

[soundofthenorth]

long live the king h. wilson

[davidmolyneux]

Thank goodness I was late getting to the Sahara tent. The Happy Mondays is Wilson's final opportunity to raise his big flag of self promotion ... Same old Tony. Steve Coogan would have played Tony Wilson much better .. One thing is for sure, the Happy Mondays were the BEST BAND IN THE WORLD in 1991. RAVE ON!

[andreandeahhh]

FUCK I MISSED TONY WILSON!! I came later!!! OH SHIT OH FUCK I CANT BELIEVE I MISSED THIS. DAMNIT DAMNIT DAMNIT

they were amazing as hell by the way!

[mattmclist990]

Is there any other videos of Happy Mondays at coachella 2007? Cant seem to find any.

[frenchymarcell]

i took two [not counting my own of Tony Wilson's intro here]. just go to my videos and you'll see them, as well as 20 other videos from Coachella.

[mattmclist990]

Good stuff mate. Cheers. Would love to go to this festival, and interested to see how Americans react to our bands (British).

[frenchymarcell]

thanks, the pleasure is all mine. i'd say us Americans responded quite well to bands from the UK [but i don't speak for all, being that most Americans are fat, lazy, and stupid and i am a naturalized citizen, so yeah]. i saw a lot of acts from the UK, like The Jesus & Mary Chain, Jarvis Cocker, Hot Chip, The Good The Bad & The Queen, Klaxons, and of course, the Mondays. and you know, you'd be surprised at the amount of your fellow countrymen at Coachella; very impressive, i say.

[mattmclist990]

Just gonna check out the Mondays now. Some decent bands coming out of UK in past couple of years, check out bands like The Cribs, The Editors, The Enemy, Kasabian, Bloc Party etc Im not sure if many of them have made any breakthrough in USA. Coachella sounds like a great festival, although having been in Palm Springs last summer, the weather exhausted you, Im going to big festival called T in the Park in July in Scotland, the weather could be warm, rainy or windy who knows!

[TaylorMayed07]

well hope u enjoy it m8, as Scotland is supposed 2 b gettin the best summer in 20 years

[Chrono86]

Yes, all Americans are fat, lazy, and stupid. Way to make a generalization moron.
