Romeo Void - Say No

[MVArtDad]

I am the guy at the bar with the blonde hair - loved making this video. This band was a joy to tour with. 8 months on the road as Drum and Guitar Roadie. Lots of memories. I have never seen this version of the vidoe - thanks for posting

[Villantic]

Does anyone know how to get a hold of Debora Iyall? I am an aspiring screenwriter and I would love to tell her story through her own words. She has a fascinating story and I want to tell it from the beginning- 1979 and what she read on her fortune cookie.

[hudooguru]

why is this song so hard to find?

[retroforever]

@hudooguru It is available on CD (the single version, same as music video)

Amazon.com: search for Never Say Never: Hits, Rarities and Gems

[antiwalmart00]

I'm glad they didn't pull a Millie Vanillie

[musiclover1ism]

weird.....

but love the music!

[LadyGrinningSoulDiva]

Sure looks help, but to why put down Deborah Harry to make a point? Its like people are saying she only got in the hall of fame because of her looks. No, its because of Blondie's (who are a band by the way) stellar back catalogue, massive influence on artists then and now and their legendary status. Romeo void are good, but no Blondie.

[liliodine]

Great band, lame vid.

[amrak63]

Awww, why is this song not on the "Warm In Your Coat" compilation?

[henrikvannistelrooij]

that lion-guy gives me the creeps

[therealsoulproduct]

Love this band. One of the great New Wave acts from the 80's.

[IveGotAJarOfDirt8]

Aren't most '80s videos like a bad acid trip? Lol.

[eatmealiveplease]

@IveGotAJarOfDirt8 no thats not true what about......oh....ya 100% right

[MarkBearTN]

i love this song! i hate that it didn't get much air play

[PigsCanFly2day]

This video is like a bad acid trip. :S

[MarkBearTN]

i love this song! I really wish they'd reunite and release another album

[grayarcadian]

Can't. It's a real tragedy but the Benjamin Bossi (the sax player) blew out his hearing. Playing concert-level sax would destroy what little of his hearing is left from the sounds of things on "Bands Reunited." Much as I love the rest of the band, no one can play like that guy and he's critical to RV's sound.

We can totally dream what that album would sound like though.

[louiseduvee]

Absotively, posilutely, one of my favourites! Yeah!

[moonbaby77]

:45,

is pretty creepy, but great freaking band anyway.ahahaa

[episcospanky]

This was a terrific band. I remember -- I was in Cinti,OH at the time -- and somehow I found out that she was not Pat Benatar. I remember that, "Oh Crap, when she goes on MSM that will be the end." It was. It was a great lesson in the futility of feminism. BTW, there are new issues on CD of Romeo Void. Grab them ... listen for the song about depression .. the one with the lyrics "roots of trees." This was an amazing group with better lyrics than the Police. I despise the character count on YouTu

[scissorknot]

A great band. A nice treat for a time when music was manufacture to within an inch of its life and sometime even farther.

[Setebos]

Deborah Iyall could cook a song like no one else!

[walshy492]

romeo void is one of the best bands ever

[episcospanky]

Last time I looked there was only one sh#tty CD of Romeo Void. Look around: this was a fantastic group.

I used to think that it was ONLY because she didn't look like the suburban slut of the times that killed her career; but no one has "covered" her songs. Too raw.

[RIFFERLOU07]

cheers

[lpokiiim]

Never say never was a stand out song. This ones a little dull.

[Triebflugal]

Romeo Void is a great band should have gotten alot more attention. They made great music without the pretension of the Top Junk.

kingkull0423 nailed it regarding the Glam Factor. Regardless, they made great songs.

Thanks for posting this video!

[Triebflugal]

Wow, I found the LP in my collection!

Now I have to fix the classic Phillips turntable.

Analog rules!

[dreemingnomad]

thank you so much for posting this one of the best bands of all time.

[rongravy]

im gonna disagree. the music is lame and her voice aint all that, and we all know what happened to the bag of chips...

i just wasnt impressed by them at all!!!

[kingkull0423]

One of the best bands to come out of the 80's. The media sucks. all they worry about is looks instead of content. If Deborah Iyall looked like debbie harry, Romeo Void would be in the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame right now.

[amrak63]

@kingkull0423

Damn right. It's a rotten shame that women are expected to look like conventional sex kittens in order to succeed in the music biz. We guys can be ugly as homemade sin, (Mick & Keith, anyone?) but gals who are too "homely" or too heavy or whatever get shut out, regardless of their talent. Maybe that's why Janis Joplin turned to drugs, may she rest in peace.

Sweet Haruhi I hate the patriarchy.

[squidfartz]

Oh my GOD. THANK YOU for posting this. I have been looking for this for YEARS. Holy crap, whatta great post. Keep up the great work!

[actron]

one of the most underrated bands of all time

[74you2]

Thank You For This .

Robert

[hagenpaws]

This is so cool. I always loved RV and saw all their San Francisco shows in the 80's but never saw this video b4 - thank you!!!

[headcoop]

yeah, I've never seen this video, it's pretty wild. Thanks for putting it up!

[goremode]

This is my favorite video by them =)

[seanguy83]

Long live Romeo Void!!
