Aloha great group ...I listened to them since the early days ....during high school Great show saw them one summer ......The videos were good to.....are they still around?Where were they from?
Pounding Bass & drums plus searing guitar. No BS - just "here we are, can you handle this Motherfcukers?" There aren't enough superlatives for this video.
Best live band ever! Saw them at the Elephant Fayre mid eighties. The combination of lights, music and rain with all the people and the occasional dog bouncing up and down made it a magical experience. Or was it the mushrooms?
Very Cool rainydayrex, that is a fantastic endorsement if ever I heard one, never saw Hendrix but soooo very pleased to have seen the Messiahs...Cheers Mate

I wish I had a suit like that.
I wonder if aliens in deep space are picking up his guitar noises and saying "We must flee, or we will surely die."

saw these guys in Rochester in 1985 and was blown away. I wonder where they are now ? Still active in music ? Any of them ? The drummer was great.

Bill Carter - underrated, unique, genius.
Amazing band, saw them live over a dozen times, every gig seared into my (then) teenage conciousness.

How can people stand at the front row of this show and not show any emotion or even appear to be enjoying themselves?

Saw these guys at the old Ritz in 1986. It's criminal that they're relegated to obscurity while GREEN DAY has a friggin' Broadway play.
