Ok...I see people saying Grohl sings it better...I like Foo...but come on people..this was the 80s and The Furs are great...Its alittle annoying hearing people say someone did the original persons song better. Shhhhudiiit lol
Thank Christ I can still view this, all the other Psych videos I had saved in my playlists won't play, copyrite laws made them unavailable in the US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We saw them in Seattle last year (Sept. 2011) and they still sound as great as ever. We were a little worried that with age and the fact that it was an outdoor concert, the sound might have deteriorated, but it was awesome. Devo and The Tom Tom Club were also in the lineup. What a gas ... flashback.
As far as I'm concerned bands like "The Furs" along with "Bauhaus"/ "Echo and The Bunnymen"/ "Magazine"/ "Siouxsie and The Banshees" / "Jesus and Mary Chain" and "The Only Ones" fucking RE-INVENTED THE WHEEL!!!...
I still play this song from time to time on my old turntable. It aged amazingly well. Is it just me but I feel the music back then sounded much more real than the corporate garbage which plans on the airwaves today.
a TIMELESS Classic of a song! XD Take me back to the 80's! I want a Time Machine that only has years 1980-1989 on its dial setting! :) I miss you 80's and I miss the lost innocence of "Not knowing" that the world and many people in it were intolerant, ignorant, cruel, uncaring or just downright evil! :( I long for the weekends spent on the dance floor with a pretty girl whilst all around us,NUCLEAR WAR was constant threat and WE DANCED ON INTO THE NIGHT not knowing if tomorrow would come!

@affectionatepunch hey...im the only rotten bastard on this board, and i kinda liked his walk down memory lane...it made me warm and fuzzy all over, after putting a head gasket on a car in the cold damp wind.....and you hadda screw IT ALL UP FOR ME, YA LITTLE BASTARD!!!....so....how bout an AFFECTIONATE BLOW JOB, WANKER....
Amazing song,always loved the furs.This song has so many memories from the 80's, smokin weed in some cool forest with a river and big rocks,cow shit everywhere,carrying my boom box with this playing
saw them on first tour Glasgow Tech 1980,Got some great pictures of Mr Butler up close.
Saw the Furs last Fall play this tune in Montreal, I closed my eyes and literally transcended to this sweet melancholic Bliss! Brilliant piece from a band that could barely play their instruments at the time.
@stephenp1968 well, well....u and bassman joe think youve got enough hair on youre 2 combined pussies to slam nirvana, but i'll wager neither of you can pick a guitar as well as you pick each others asses and noses...talk is cheap girls, if you even were allowed t stand on a big stage, piss would run down your trembling legs....two more wish they weres but know they will always be wannabees...
maybe u 2 boys should get together wit 10 pics of your least fav bands and do a circle jerk...fags...
@bassmanjoe took ya 4 months to grow enough mold on your peanuts to spew that drivel? i hear too much copper in the system causes shrinking of the testes.....try colloidal silver and raw venison....its GOOOD!!!
@bassmanjoe HOW CAN YOU NOT LIKE NIRVANA DIUDE?!?!? I'VE NEVER HEARD OF THIS BAND BEFORE... and partly on nirvanas cost since dave was in nirvana, and ff did a cover on this song and thus it lead me here, so don't be bullshitting dude
I really dig this song but, unlike "Big Long Now" which it compares to due to the guitar riff, this song REALLY creeps me out. I don't know why. It's not a dis to the song, it's just an emotion it invokes when I hear it. I don't know why. Anybody else feel the same way?
outstanding work. The charts were not ready for these guys. Ive not listened to the Furs for years. Just fantastic. Quality is timeless. What a great way to live forever.
Dear god!!!!!!!!!!!!! First time hearing this song from PF and I was thrown off my seat!! What an enchantingly beautiful, melodic guitar- atmospheric songs just come around anymore...
In a Chevy somewhere in the 80's this song played in the background of an argument that led somewhere worse and I was alone again...and so happy to be young with a full pack of cigarettes, if only I knew how happy I really was.
@jenton70 I was riding with perhaps the most handsome prince of a guitar player along a black and silvery Great Lake in mid-fall after his show, with him looking at me. I like your story as much as it has virtually the same ending. Sacre bleu;)
Utter Brilliance reminds me of a Thursday night in 1980 in winter..loved the pink cover of the Lp and the orange CBS label spinning around..finding myself and finding out what i wanted to do..
they were fucking excellent supporting iggy at newcastle city hall.78 or79.wanna discuss if you want.looking to going on stage again,legendary deadmen.Z.B.C.played with pauline murray,paul harvey and rob from penetration played in my band,or was it another failed project.never completed.people that are real and sorta honest are very rare.deadmanmik@live.com.mick
I thought this was David Bowie, too when I was 15 or 16..then found out it was this guy. I now think he sounds like a cross between Bowie and John Lydon.
@petermurphreak I commented, I think on the original "Pretty In Pink" music video, that Richard Butler and David Bowie sound a lot alike. Peter Murphy is also in that category, though I think he was compared more often to David Bowie back in the 80s.
I love this song. Nostalgia.... I was very much in love with the man who intro me to the Psychedelic Furs. How can you not love this music. The 80's era....will music ever be that way again....I'm glad it's here to enjoy. I think Brain Ferry is along this venue as well.

There is little or no welfare state and no unemployment benefit. Mexico is one of the 4 worst countries in Latin America for income distribution. hahaha dumbfuck i told u ill send that shit back 10 folds bitch!!! so quit bein a pussy and talkin shit on youtube before u get knocked out like manny pacquiao does to all ur "great" mexican fighters hahahahaha LMFAO!!
Thank you, psychocandy77, for uploading this Psychedelic Furs treasure, and thank YOU, Professor Knowles, for the heads-up that it's here . . . Wunderbar, simply Wunderbar ~ (•8-D
agreat band who i have been recently played after a long state of hibernation.bloody great,don letts made this video.haunting and comforting,the hitchcock of songs.butlers vocals are weird would have made a great dalek.
what did the lead singer's speaking voice sound like? i don't want to watch an interview - i like the art better than the source, but am so curious cuz richard's singing voice is amazing - like someone whispering in a dream
I often wondered the same thing since most of his singing sounds so raspy. I actually saw an interview here on YouTube and he sounds nothing like what he sings like. I thought he'd sound really serious and low key, but that's not the case at all. Great voice though, very unique. His voice lets you know its the Furs you're listening to.
Great song - but Imitation of Christ was even better :-) Was one of my fav band circa1980. First album was f**king fantastic. But after that they got very commercial and that's all that gets remembered these days. Have to admit when I saw them in '81 or '82 in Tottenham Crt Road they were very dissappointing. Crap venue didn't help them maybe. Shame.
Saw the Furs last night and got a chance to meet Richard.He's quite a gentleman and so kind to his fans. His voice was incredible and the Furs were brilliant. It was an extraordinary experience. Very psychedelic compared to what's out there today.
Pure fucking UNADULTERED GENIUS!!! Phenomenal sound and a SEXY BEAST for a singer!!! What fucking MORE can you ask for in a band??!!! A VOLCANIC combination!!! No lie!!!
There's a lot of the better Bowie in this. Richard always had a stupendous voice. The only free ticket for a concert I ever won was for Love spit love. It was cancelled by lack of interest by the public. I can't say it didn't feel bad then :-)
At the time they had (in my opinion) more depth and a better musical ability. Over time U2 would get better as a band and develop a more cohesive sound. But i still prefer Richard butlers voice and delivery over Bonos .I hear overtones of The velvet 's or early solo Lou Reed. I saw them with The Talking Heads on the Remain in Light tour, the Furs were fantastic live .I later saw U2 headline the same small theatre and left, they were not as good. How they can do it in stadiums is a mystery to me
so wonderful.

what did the lead singer's speaking voice sound like? i don't want to watch an interview - i like the art better than the source, but am so curious cuz richard's singing voice is amazing - like someone whispering in a dream

I often wondered the same thing since most of his singing sounds so raspy. I actually saw an interview here on YouTube and he sounds nothing like what he sings like. I thought he'd sound really serious and low key, but that's not the case at all. Great voice though, very unique. His voice lets you know its the Furs you're listening to.

Great song - but Imitation of Christ was even better :-) Was one of my fav band circa1980. First album was f**king fantastic. But after that they got very commercial and that's all that gets remembered these days. Have to admit when I saw them in '81 or '82 in Tottenham Crt Road they were very dissappointing. Crap venue didn't help them maybe. Shame.

Saw the Furs last night and got a chance to meet Richard.He's quite a gentleman and so kind to his fans. His voice was incredible and the Furs were brilliant. It was an extraordinary experience. Very psychedelic compared to what's out there today.

There's a lot of the better Bowie in this. Richard always had a stupendous voice. The only free ticket for a concert I ever won was for Love spit love. It was cancelled by lack of interest by the public. I can't say it didn't feel bad then :-)

At the time they had (in my opinion) more depth and a better musical ability. Over time U2 would get better as a band and develop a more cohesive sound. But i still prefer Richard butlers voice and delivery over Bonos .I hear overtones of The velvet 's or early solo Lou Reed. I saw them with The Talking Heads on the Remain in Light tour, the Furs were fantastic live .I later saw U2 headline the same small theatre and left, they were not as good. How they can do it in stadiums is a mystery to me

The Furs indeed had their OWN identity!
A bit more commercial than the Theatre of Hate etc. but way better than most other youngtimers.
