[roddy76to86]

Dubbed.



[awesomesauce117]

@andybhoy1995 It's footage from another time they were singing that song if you closer his tie is gone too

[TheYellowellies]

saw them in the appollo 1980

-lead had a swinging pair of legs -like a sand dancer

on acid

[osummuso]

LOL.

H/H combo's with a Unidyne hung through the handle.

Them were the days! :D

[Sabatinitennis]

I wonder if so much bass guitar (just listen to the start) has ever made its way onto vinyl ---- some serious playing by the bassist!

[3232groundhog]

Holy Cow!

First got this on a compilation album called Hi Energy, with such songs as My Lucky Number's One by Lena Lovich and Hit Me With Your Rythm Stick by Ian Dury.

Unfortunately, I adopted the lead singer's kicking dance in every song I've ever danced to since.

Lol, poor dance-floor fuckers deserved it anyway.

[kamerar]

My first girlfriend danced to this when I was in her bedroom, playing it on some crappy old vinyl machine. You don't forget stuff like that.

[wehavexplosiv23]

@kamerar No, you never forget that. You die with that image in your mind and it eases the passing. I've got a few of those.

[mohigney1]

GET IN THERE BOYS AHOY !!!!!!!

[TheYellowellies]

saw them -1980- they were fab

[kevthekeys]

Big Country were never as good as The Skids!

[SteveBZ69]

God bless ya Stuart you were an inspiration to me and many other guitarists <3

[GhengisKhantbearsed]

Christ,i forgot how much of a knobhead Richard Jobson was!

[Williammcgarrie]

R.I.P Stuart Adamson! Brilliant!

[0114owl1867]

1.34 to 1.54 just like big country, stuart you are badly missed pal - brilliant track takes me right back to happy days

[captain1scarlet]

Richard could easily pass as a young Ray Winstone

[slashthelizard]

Who the FUCK asked for a fucking advert for a film? oh please show me a trailer to a girley film about a wedding when I asked for the Skids video. YOU TUBE. YOU SOLD YOUR SOUL. THE DEVIL HAS A NICE SCALY PECKER FOR YOU TO SUCK!!

Hicks. X

[1hairbear]

That lead break at 1:38 and then the tail off at 1:52 - fkin epic

[lordofthemanor67]

@NedKeIIy Never knew he was in the Skids, but listening to the guitar rift you can hear Big Country.

[SivEdable]

Anyone else getting fed up with these ads? Put a comment in here :)

[langtounmcc]

was at school wi Stuart..... guid lad.... well missed

[pm966]

Jimmy rock.

[penrhyndeundraeth]

Bradford City used this tune when teams took the field before kick off and before they sold their ground name to corporate sponsors.

[1markusspartacus]

Burbage Carnival Disco in a tent on Britannia Road. Around 1979-80. Superb.

[TheFunkadelicFan]

That fuckin' rocked!

[DelStrainComedy]

If i could dance to this all way through like Jobson way i used too 30 years ago id be a happy man.Still makes me dance round kitchen.Top tune way ahead of their time man. One Anthem of Punks best songs.

[Hoyt422]

I was almost 20 years old when the Skids released this song.... Even now at almost 52 years of age I just cannot sit still.... This song is still FABULOUS!!!!!

RIP William Stuart Adamson

[mrsexpistols36]

rip stu

[lewisner]

Paul Weller on drums.

[clarky00000]

R.I.P. God always takes away the dearest first.

[bibsteenson]

One of the great intros

[magicbus144]

Stewart Adamson from Big Country on guitar.

R.I.P Stewart.

[MrChubbleyWarner]

@magicbus144 - yeah,,he shook hands with me once just cos i told him I played guitar..didn't wash it for a week!! - the 'talented one' in the band..better singer than Jobson too!

[stevobath]

@ThisCharmingBhoy I think there are good bands still.Problem is that big labels just want a "marketable product" which normally means,they look right,do as theyre told,dont offend people or rather OFFEND people but in the right way,cant sing & are prepared to do exactly as they are told!

There is genrally though a lack of originality.Maybe RnR is just running out of steam?After all there are only so many guitar chords & variations! lol

[stevobath]

@ThisCharmingBhoy Its a great riff. Do you remember the B-side to this? Im sure its called Soap Stars. I remember loving the "Albert Tatlock" part of the chorus!

[stevobath]

charltonathletic100 More like CHARLTON PATHETIC! 

[stevobath]

@ThisCharmingBhoy LMAO!

[jonnytheoasisfan]

Somehow this fuckin rules! .. It's not too soft like some of the Power pop bands, but its not shitty like some underground punky New Wave bands Ive known from the era (77-82)

[stevobath]

Shame Jobson turned into a snotty Tory Squire WANKER....He bought a house next to a farm & complained about the smell...What a TWAT!

[wolfacer]

this brings back memories,i went to school club , was talking to a mate who was doing the lighting for school disco. He had a load of chain up in the lighting loft so i asked to borrow it and started doing the pogo to this very tune then got booted out of the school lol mad times

[HilaryMG]

These lads are Brilliant, and sorry to say had not heard of them until a friend sent this video, thanks Kevin.

I`ts really sad that one of the boys Stuart has sadly passed away, you were all Amazing. And yes R.I.P. Stuart x

[getphp]

1:33 : the best bit but too short

[hardric730]

stuart adamson the best guitarist ever

[Britcenturion]

Respond to this video...  A freakin men to that brother! though whats his name Van Valen comes a close second!

[gamma500]

I used to sing "into her fanny".....

[ianus41]

@gamma500 did you get much of an echo?

[NormanStansfield1]

30 + years or more after buying this album his guitar playing is still a revelation. The drums, bass and Jobson's singing are top notch as well. The sound is so full for a three piece (instruments) even though the guitar has studio over dubs. Still amazing. RIP Stuart.

[4thememories]

My husband grew up with Stuart Adamson in Crossgates, Fife!!

The stories of what they used to get up to...the papers nowadays would have a field day lol!!!!

RIP Stuart...

[tommy19691690]

@4thememories god bless 80s and stuart....

[legandrydirk]

@moondancer5682 Jobson said it was about Scottish soldiers fighting the war in N Ireland.

[SuperFluffyg]

rip stuart nuff love

[andybhoy1995]

REALLY weird how at 0:51 Richard jobson's sleeves change colour..... And then quickly change back to their original colour in a few seconds. Brilliant band: Way ahead of their time in terms of special effects. R.I.P stuart

[mrsexpistols36]

@andybhoy1995  your sad

[stevebeachmountain]

I don't give a damn 'bout Richard's words, the energy is outstandin', movements and the guitarsolo must be one of historys Greatest!

[TalkToTheBody]

fab song but did anyone ever understand a word Richard Jobson was singing? I hadn't a clue when I bought the single back in the punk days and I am none the wiser now...one of life's mysteries I guess...still it makes a great pub singer song :D

[711honved]

Once spent an evening in the company of Richard Jobson. He said he made the worst career move of all time by deciding not to join Stuart & the boys in Big Country. RIP Stu, we miss you.

[MrJamez1997]

Mon the Pars



[rabnuds]

@MrJamez1997 It'll be refreshing to see the Pars back in the SPL where they belong. You'll beat my lot easy enough unless the improve vastly. The worst team in the SPL, God only knows how we (Hibs) did not get relegated we have been dire this season. Oh by the way I nearly forgot to say great song takes me back a bit.

[MizzCBlack]

the first few chords still give me the shivers :D x

[thedugsbollox]

Stuart was a top guy , had the pleasure of meeting him and his family at Knockhill Race Circuit long time ago , I think he sponsored a race team or maybe a few racers , I even had the cheek to ask him for a few chords lol , great guy, so sadly missed, great Scottish musician , RIP Stu

[andymac6263]

pure class



[lordnick1575]

Criky, though he was mad at first the way he dances, but its brilliant, the whole band is.
