Gary Gilmore's Eyes - The Adverts

[memopics]

Truly, thank you for the "behind of the song". Quite interesting story.

[VioletFem]

American Horror Story. Violet has good taste in music. : )

[FrankeeTeardrop]

I was born in the 90's but born and raised with punk music, and this was allways one of my favourites when I was a kid. I'm really happy to hear it again. :)

[davedoom60]

the "finale" is one of them CLASSIC end-of-a-song GENIUS STROKES OF A BATON::::::::::::

" Gary and his eyes have parted company" Denouements don't get better than this !!! !

[slfandoz]

Thanks for the insight into this son, never realised the intriguing story behind the amazing song

[klippies1011]

great track

[GelGsound]

Wasn't Gaye Gorgeous.

[MegaJaylewis]

Die toten hosen did a pretty sweet cover of this. Altho their cover is only great cuz they've changed nothin about it, well, they hardly need to, do they??? Fuckin love this song

[coachbk1]

never heard this here in the USA-we had a whole bunch of punk/new wave that never crossed the Atlantic in the late 70's-too bad

[newdamned]

@coachbk1 mind you had the dead boys over there , i did see thunders heartbreakers in 1979/80

[koggi242]

Great song. reminds me of another classic- fuck the USA.

As though the state murdering people isn't "cruel or unusual", pah!

[amhellbent]

thanks, i loved this all those years ago!! nice to hear it again, only other copy i hve is double compilation tape 'burning ambitions, history of punk'

[moonlily1]

I wonder if the recipient was told who the eyes came from?

[1962jacker]

very good i like it

[MrLight4u]

the adverts one of my favourite punkbands in my youth...passion and energy...punk is in my head and my heart for my live...thanx for posting this:-)

[lollopazzoable]

video sux

[bloodypedant]

old school punk ftw! i cant belive that i missed all the decent music by being born in the 90s

[LogInAnders]

@mtaylor848 Yuck, don't do that! That would be too sick, weirdo. We are punks but not digsusting punks. No way weirdo jose!

[mungogubbins]

They don't make 'em like they used to......... I don't feel any older than I did when this was first released.

[SkidKid1965]

The 1st punk record i ever bought brilliant track

[LauRen272727]

ohh just love this song, also you can check out new model army, and rich kids :D

[mrtommyarthur]

The judge stands up as you offer no defence, and says 'you are sentenced to destroy all your punk 1 chord shite era records'.

You reply 'yes the 70's and 80's were an embarassment to music and society and I contributed to it'

'I am guilty so please destroy these shite records and I would like to donate my ears and organs to science'

Kind of gets where this is at doesn't it?

[SkatepunkDotCom]

@mrtommyarthur Actually, kind of gets that you think how many chords actually contributes to the "quality" of a song. Which is the same as saying you've got your head up your arse.

[SkatepunkDotCom]

@mrtommyarthur Also, this gets that you can't count. Five chords: E D C Bm and A

[SkatepunkDotCom]

@mrtommyarthur last thing -- since you like the Smiths, you should know that they have tons of songs with 4 and 5 chords only... Your favorite complex ballad Please Please Please only has 7 or 8 chords...

[billiejoesexi]

Thanks to good old college radio, I found this song. Amazing.

[masterracemyarse]

Excellent fan video for this song.

Well done.

[n3crolite]

i like the cover by "die toten hosen" moer ;-)

[crohnoes]

this made me smile

[WilfulDays]

If you enjoyed this also check out The Damned, 999 and Spizz Energi x

[Pamuya1]

Love it!!! you know the stereo type is that dads love crap songs well it was totally wrong in this case he actually introduced me to this amazing song..... it brings back so many memories

[landrew679]

a real classic song they don't make them like this anymore

[bevardukas]

That's oldschool punk rock. Now if you wanna check some like this out, check sex pistols, the exploited (hardcore), ramones, the adicts. Search for punk rock bands list in wikipedia.

[jenssalumae2]

good film of this, wiki it cant remember its name...

[moonlily1]

this is such a unique concept for a song. who doesn't get tired of the lovesong format? but is that the adverts performing it,? it sounds way different from on the album I have.

[youthkorps82]

got them on vinyl. love love love it! great vid

[xenophile1956]

I haven't heard this song for years. It's nice to be reminded of it again. Thanks.

[Onelegheathermills]

Well how about instead of Fred Wests eyes, you opt for Harold Shipmans Spleen or something like that??

At least it has a certain alliterative ring to it.....

[curtisSK8er]

3:28

[wire5858]

Looking through Fred West`s eyes. Doesn`t quite have the sell x factor does it

[RainJetSprinklers]

I wonder who's the actual person who received his corneas, I know it's some one in Utah. The corneas went to two separate people.

[crapplebug]

extremely cool video. I love this adverts song!!!!!

[squirm13]

Gary gilmores brother used to be a writer on rolling stones magazine, mikel gilmore, dont know if he still does that.

[TJSundown]

If only more people would listen to the 200 songs of great wisdom and inspiration that TV Smith wrote after his biggest hit.

I enjoyed this fun vid anyhow. :o)

[johnnywas123]

[doctorsatanist]

LOL! Ive been wanting to hear this for a while. Thanx.

[suxshine69]

hehhe super

[daljinac2]

rakija new wave-ru dobar ti klip !

[xgirlfiendx]

I think that Gary Gilmore donated his eyes to rid himself of all the evil he witnessed. But this is a great song either way, real smart too.

[mungogubbins]

First class Video work for a superb song. Any chance of losing the 30 odd seconds of dark silence at the end? I would really like to include this version in my illustious playlist.

[xgirlfiendx]

Wowzers I never knew that. Thanks-gotta go read up a little more on Gilmore.

[sarinka2007]
