The Damned - Is It A Dream

[boscox88]

Sometimes the words appear in my head

[susanridarick]

The Beatles of Goth -- I like that!

[kamrade1]

I'm just saying he reminds me of John cusack here. I like that much better than the glamorous vampire look he maintained for their first decade. I saw them in '83 and I wasn't sure Gloria Swanson wasn't standing in for him.

[kamrade1]

John Cusack plays Dave Vanian

[lil80schick]

@kamrade1 Whoa what?!?!

[MrsCassandra96]

Who doesn't love Dave Vanian, excuse me! They should come for a comeback with all of their old songs and start writing again great Goth songs.

[mcfairclough]

tony hadley has let himself go

[hahamadeyoulook1]

Note to all the kids at my school:

This is goth!!! Not "Avenged Sevenfold" and certainly NOT "Twilight"!!!

So, just because I don't wear a "Rob Zombie" T-shirt does not mean I'm not goth, all it means is your stupid!!!

Thank you for reading.

[kleggettl]

Oh yes! Sigh! Dave Vanian!

[raymondsarinana]

I want to have sexual relations with this song;)

[MissSauron3000]

omg, just pause it as 1:30 to see that Dave Vanian is actualy a vamp

[TheJedgeworth]

@MissSauron3000 Ummm, now that is a vampire! Much, much more sexy than some pseudo-darling of mass-media. Thank's for the head's up! I'd love a poster of this.

[Maliceuk]

He is just soooo sexy

[cznery]

Vanian is the best.

[perritodediamante]

only the damned sounds like this. great, for all the self punk rockers believe it!! parceritos!!!

[ninelivecat]

This was a very good song for it's time so what if it was a bit pop music it was the era

BTW Duran Duran weren't so bad even if they where quite commercial

[kennaronan]

Always loved the Damned. Dave Vanian is unbelievable hot. Thanks for posting!

[CharlesOrlando]

Great band, great song! I hope they re-incarnate yet again! And let's see Patrica Morrison in the mix too! :)

[mertonparka]

Duran Duran in disguise! what a load of bollocks

[caitsimms]

@jim0581 Spandu Ballet more like :)

[quantana927]

"I know a man who's really awful nice...he isn't here." Ha! Sounds like me!

[mertonparka]

The Punksters become Popsters! what a load of tripe!

[UTFRG]

@mertonparka indeed you my friend have a firm grip on rock and roll as these kids call it

[shantelw26]

he is just soooo sexy,

[DoArt78]

oh oh oh

[TheSnowballEarth]

I've loved every incarnation that The Damned have been through. But shit, WTF's up with that skunk on Dave's head?!?! X-D

[TheSnowballEarth]

Whatever incarnation The Damned went through, they've always been brilliant. Dave Vanian is sorrowfully unappreciated as a lead singer. IMNSHO.

[BLOODYGYRL]

I love david vanian!!!!!

[julieanddavid]

David Vanian have you burnt the dinner again LMAO sorry (in joke)

[TJSanson]

The Damned were pre-Goth, going back to punk '70's...if it weren't for them and Siouxsie and the Banshees, Goth wouldnt exist

[BonzoGoesToMexico]

what about bauhaus??

[TJSanson]

I don't know their earliest music, but Bela Lugosi's Dead came out in '79, The Damned were formed in '75-'76

[NYCPulpHero]

YES. TY!

[TheThievingBeggars]

Video starts off a little like the Emmerdale intro...don't you think?

[67Guild]

Piss off you wanta be's. Be original. This is the DAMNED.

[LoonyAnn]

Oh------so lovely

[BonzoGoesToMexico]

Ohh Man

Phantasmagoria

1 of the best albums of the damned

one of my favorite songs of this album

cheers for uploading this.

[DearSirOrMame]

I believe this was the only song on Phantasmagoria that Captain Sensible had a writing credit...

[houkahooker]

MmM, Dave Vanian is hung too =oP dont ask how I know, he rocks !

[xyaqua]

The Damned are the 'Beatles' of Goth! Vanian is a true artist!

[aaronjansen603]

thats a good way to put it

[UTFRG]

@xyaqua you fucking douche beatles are boring as hell and damned are punk only phantasmagoria sounds like this

[WillieWanker]

@xyaqua The Beatles where never that cool! 

[masipag999]

From one of my all time favorite LP's. Saw them twice on this tour, will see them again next month

[vonsmitty1313]

1985 yielded three of my fave LPs ever- the Damned- "Phantasmagoria", Sisters Of Mercy- "First and Last and Always" and the Jesus and Mary Chain- "Psychocandy". I also became a father that same year,and my now-24-year-old son also loves these three records,and despises rap,emo,and Nickelback...

[KolyaKrasotkin]

You did something right.

[hanselkksc]

Lol, especially the phony Nickelback! Congrats, you raised a good son ;)

[littlegypsy71]

I watched this on t.v i was too old for " Hold Tight" lol! just wanted to see the Damned. Dave was soooo gorgeous, still is.

[alexymox]

Great song, great band and the best singer.

[ZLUGGO]

Vanian is gorgeous.

[Nokturna666]

Extremely *drools*

[xyaqua]

Vanian.

The GothFather.

[lacacapopo]

ta chido

[xyaqua]

Damned. what a bloody oxymoronic curse.

Phantasmagoria was their best ever.. \

PUNK with melody...  as beautiful as bach.

[carpenoctem66]

All of their music reminds me of my old house and all of my friends and it makes me happier than anything in existence :)

[julieanddavid]

oh yesss makes me shake this video love it

vanian is god

[lovingautumn]

Something about a man in a ruffley shirt and long jacket that makes it hard to say 'no'. I have a thing for sideburns and vampirey hair as well;^)

[OpheliaBB]

Really hard to say no if the guy is totally sexy and sings like a god. :)

[DYKEPALS]

lol the three jumps are awesome

[GWM4GWM]

Now I know who has inspired SUSPIRIA's image...

SUSPIRIA were a really cool British goth band in the late 90s, and their lead singer Mark looked a lot like Dave in this video.

By the way, I think 'Shadow Of Love' was a much better single.

[machinegunetiquette]

This was from a show for kids called 'Hold Tight' im sure they only appeared on this because their record label made them

[hissyfit4711]

He's SO hot...and what a voice!!

[ThePoisonDoor]

Decent quality in this video :)

[konnievir]

if you dont like the damned what the"FUCK" are you watching this for!!!! Dave Vanian is the best male vocalist going and a "GOD"!!! Get it???

[PAULLONDEN]

♫GREAT track♫

Without....

a Shadow of a doubt│♥│

[BlMBO]

PMSL fatuesque :D

[PeSkeleton]

no, it's

"Stand in a line like a parking meter"

[fatuesque]

"stand in line like a fucking retard " ?

[ScottHedeen]

hey... dracula is not that short!

[BANDITBRON]

god that is a desperate video by the damned even in their circumstances. It is a shame Byrn the bass player is off the scene and Rommel (roman Jugg)??? whats happened to them? Love to know. Yeah dave looking fabbo as usual, eeezy git! and Rat? keep going for the grail...

[pneumaticchick]

to be fair it was just a performance for a tv show, not a proper promo video.

[BANDITBRON]

To: pneumaticchick - I take it you have big boobs then! (only joking). Yes I agree with you it was a tv promo but interesting to see them in a different slant. Have you any info on Bryn or Roman by the way? Thanks for reply.

[VernianProcess]

They just finished a new album "So, Who's Paranoid?" and it's actually really good. their last album "Grave Disorder" had some excellent moments as well.

[jambrt74]

roman is living in southend on sea

[Surrealys]

Uhhh *droll* He is really yummi!

[justasheeple111]

daves super hot.. yum yum

[CircusOfHeaven]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah *screams* i'm in love with 1:08 :D

[mauerblumchen]

As long as we're pointing out Dave moments (lol), I'm going to go with 1:37. *melts into a puddle of fangirl goo* ;)

[TimeWarper75]

This is a DAMN good song!

[DYKEPALS]

[DYKEPALS]

[newrose24]

[fango2006]

Where was this one filmed? I've only ever seen a vid where they're playing this in front of  live audience with all these goths dancing in the audience.

[GatchamanG4]

Need a time machine to go back and see them from the start.

[GatchamanG4]

God I love The damned!

[elgorfo2]
