The Alarm-68 Guns

[JonniDDR]

What a class act, these guys played their hearts out

[sfy2004]

in regards to classless U2 fans booing The Alarm off stage, when U2 came to Utah long ago to open for Black Sabbath, they too got booed off stage. took them a LONG time to show their faces back in Utah again.

this guy lives quite near to me. hes always in the local paper doing charity work. i see him out and about quite alot, but have never spoke to him. he seems like a nice chap.

THis is the singer throwing himself off as the entire original band.. What a dickweed!!. That s not Dave Sharpe or any other original ALARM player.. What a Douche..Just say I used to be in a band but my ego got to big for everyone so now I can give anyone a name whether they deserve it or not??!

[kirkbyla]

i saw them support the jam at deeside and they were billed on the ticket as the second support act ,no one gave a fuck who the first support act was but tell you what we all came away talkin about how great the jam was and also this song

[altroval]

Pretty amazing stuff. I'm very glad I got to see them with their original lineup a couple times in Boston in the late 80s.

One person commented that the Alarm opened for U2 and were booed off the stage. Unfortunately, I have read accounts of that European tour and it is true that they were. Pretty common for U2 opening acts, though. I saw Primus get booed mercilessly when they opened for U2 at the Boston Garden in 1992.

[vinadanimex]

[theirishinc]

I remember when this song came out. This is a great song!!! I was into Big Country and U2 at the time. Still AM!!!

[Ma965]

[bbbrobo]

[mickl3008]

saw them at Tiffanys in Glasgow in 1982ish supporting U2 GREAT SONG

[badmattam]

saw them at the edinburgh playhouse around 1985 and they absolutely ROCKED!!! i seem to remember them all swapping instruments with each other and playing them on different songs!!! . . incredible!

[trafback]

I was at that gig, full of mental dundonians and one of the best ive been to

[walesspiritof76]

Best welsh band ever and always will be !!!

[seandavidr1]

deeside boys remember the alarm/seventeen in the 80s hope mike and the rest of the band are well, welsh and fuckin proud

[rezlerken]

seen them supporting the jam at the ice ring should have gone further excellent band

[evilgypsy]

Mike Peters used to go to the same circuit training class as me in St Asaph. Not seen him for a few years though, what's he up to these days ?

[ANDYEASTSEA]

the alarm were fucking brilliant! a little biased as was brought up in Rhyl and Prestatyn. Worked with Steve Peters making bouncy castle back in the late eighties. Top top band!

[jackal2071]

Making bouncy castles - cool man!

[dqddqd]

great song too bad these guys were lost and never knew who they wanted to be or where they were going, great followers

[Ma965]

One of the best song of the eighties...thanks for uploading

[lutonian]

the Alarm supported U2 and were booed off stage.

[ringbark]

When I saw them on that tour, they were most definitely NOT booed off stage.

[bfbjr]

Agreed, the Alarm and Big Country are better than U2.

[Jackthemeat]

bfbjr

are you fucking smoking crack? you should be killed on the spot for your idiocy.

btw...just added tons of new hot Japanese schoolgirls to my page. great for Masturbation

[chrisn71]

This comment brings disgrace to such an uplifting,inspirational group as The Alarm. It's obvious you're not a fan, such ilk is not attracted to grace & beauty.

[pig199fly200]

What is the reference? What does 68 guns MEAN?

[ringbark]

It refers to the Paris student riots of 1968, which spread throughout the world and changed the whole ideology of student life.

[pig199fly200]

Thanks, RB!! Very interesting.

[zc751c]

Kind of a poor man's U2, but this is a good song

[racerxjj67]

Still sound great! Glad to see it. My fav song of theirs. Saw them in 1986.

[densunnsh]

Saw The Alarm 17 times in their prime. Love the gigs, the music and the time.

[EmotionPlus]

Saw them so often. Always made a point to. Hated U2, still do. The Alarm was it proper. Sorry Mike and the crowd, so sorry. So so brilliant.

[hallinansenior]

Mike is off an another charity walk soon.

Saw the group in Cardiff in 1985 - epic.

[rudybach]

this was indeed an anthem!!!

[dougm1971]

wow...love it !!

[lordward879]

My only claim to fame is that my wife used to hang around with these guys in Rhyll - Wales. Better than U2 at the time!

[totfl]

Heard this song as a young pup years ago, then downloaded a couple more lately. Superb. Ricky Warwick, does/was he singing with them? Saw him come on and sing with SLF a few years ago.

[COCphil]

i saw them 20 years ago ; strange to see them now ; they physicially changed (me 2 ;) but their energy's still the same !! Thanks for post
