Proud Mary - Very Best Friend

[DLCIanN]

Hi there, You have been recommended by a member of my Socks and Chocs team as a great live band. On Christmas Day, myself and 4 colleagues deliver socks and Chocs that we collect throughout the year, to homeless shelters. 2011 was our second year and we gave out 1800 pairs of socks, 2800 bars of chocolate, 180 sleeping bags and 400 blankets. As a way to promote socks and Chocs I have written a song and published it on you tube. My idea being that I want as many people as possible to cover th

[jackjhg]

Absolute peach of a number. God bless 'em.

[pazzasgirl76]

Such a great band. New album, Ocean Park, is amazing. See you guys on 1st September in Camden!!

[northernswagga]

true,they never did get the credit they should have,remember this with a smile.

[MrGazzaSlater]

I have had this album in for the past couple of years and recently started listening to it again and can't get enough of it all over again! Absolute quality band, amazing vocals by greg, way better than any other rock/indie frontman around at the time. Never got the credit they deserved as far as I'm concerned but glad they stuck to their own thing. Seen them live too, just as good if not better. Genuine lads, respect

[westealflyers]

they are a great band. great on his own is great too

[1985hunts]

gonna see them support shed 7 in dunfermline. cant wait. its been so long. am so excited it gonna be amazing. what was noel thinking about tut tut

[BlondeRocknRoll]

loved this song, the band were ok ... should have got a bit more credit ...

[LuBusby]

Very best friend just makes me happy... if I'm in a bad mood i'll just play it.

Absolutley love it! xxxx

[alshep81]

this is my favourite song ever this was me and my one and only true loves song and like the song says "i wonder if shes thinking of me" because i know i never stop thinking of her.

[MrILikeMike]

I can't find anywhere to download the blues album, any suggestions.

[baduglystinky]

Wow, I haven't heard this in a long time... It's been impossible to find mp3's of this, as "Proud Mary" is such a famous song. Good to know there are official videos here on YouTube!

[gerrymoran]

Rip off of Salt Of The Earth by The Stones.

[andie53]

They do cover Salt Of The Earth on the labum, but i dont thinks its anything like it to be honest. Proud Mary's version of SOTE is far better than the orginal in my opinion. The stones version is to slow.

[keerza]

@gerrymoran - True, but the Stones ripped off so many impoverished blues artists they they have no reasonable right to claim royalties. Just as Richard Ashcroft. I'd say he has a Stones poster on a dart board. The Stones deserve to be ripped off.

[1a9f0c3]

It's nothing like SOTE

[sbyrne1]

@gerrymoran Yeah this what the song should have been you mean. I just listened to it and theres only slight similarities with the verses but its all about the chorus. l2p dude.

[wwillow1]

i just been listening to them the last few hours ..and thay were fkn good werent they..this song is class..better than the crap we have now....nice one lads ...

[wwillow1]

forgot they werent that bad ..love this track

[MrMonkeystep]

top tune this lad, fuckin ace tune,

[brighton59]

Top tune

[Boycee0891]

think the beginin is in the barn they use to rehearse in haha.

[toonuraccoon]

This song is so awesome, really truly awesome. My mate Brian got me into these guys a few years back and possibly one of the best most suprising bands a friend has introduced me to.

[babylemonade40]

reminds me of the good old days! saw them for the first time with weller years back and nearly knocked over greg running across the road later that night. like i said... good old days lol

[jehovahboy2005]

less than 7000 views? breaks my heart. such a great song too... definitely one of my favourite songs...

[andie53]

I know, there have been so many shit bands since Proud Mary 1st came onto the seen.  If it wasnt for mags like the NME telling people what to like and what not to like, we'd see more of Greg, Spot n co.

[jehovahboy2005]

Really got to read Q mag for all these great bands that you never hear about in the mainstream. Shit, most of my favourite bands have been on the free CDs they hand out now and again...think along the lines of Mull historical society,Wilco, Mark Eitzel, the list goes on...

[andie53]

I'd heard of Proud Mary through the cennection with Noel, but it was a free Q music cd that had Very Best Friend on, so without Q i may never have heard of them.

[headschlong]

Just shows how fucking deluded I was thinking my band could make it. If these boys couldn't what bloody chance did we have ?

[mcfc90]

absolutely amazin album this is, play it on my ipod whenever im felling down!

[kulsha]

Great band...great music..

i love Greg and Terry <3 ;)))

[miller3326]

the same old blues got me through the split with me ex bird, split with me bird 3 month ago and love and light got me through this split, thankyou,.

[cara1988]

i love to love the girl who likes to be, im singing of her now. i wonder if shes thinking of me.. god only knows... god only knows

[andie53]

i see you have good taste my friend

[RoCkErGiRlUk]

[lilmissglentoran]

I seen em and they rule!! I was at the wizard festival

[RoCkErGiRlUk]

really good video :) gregs voice sounds top on it aswell crap that they split up i loved getting backstage and all tht lol

[andie53]

Split up noooooo!!!! Think the official line is that they are taking a break, n will join forces in the near future.

[trickydickyd]

there playin at Wizard festival, aberdeenshire 24th or 25th of august. google it

[Boycee0891]

they havent split up, its just that noel gallagher isn't there manager anymore, i talk to Greg in the pub sometimes lol.

[workworkwork22]

If you do not copy and paste this onto 10 videos your mom will die in 4 hours

im really sorry guys!

[bigbazabear]

this band rocks,why we havnt heard more of them is a discrace 2 brittsh music,2 many shite bands out there just wantin 2 earn a fast buck...........

[foveostag]

Brings back memories of seeing them in Wolverhampton maybe, 8 years ago? - Bought the album - Love it!  Can't believe they have not broken through!

[coopermanisgod]

Great band.Saw them at Finsbury Park supporting Oasis.Usual NME fashionista's decree that this-proper music played by proper musicians-is "retro dadrock etc",whilst "brilliant"(note the sarcasm)bands like The Gossip get rave reviews.Good on yer for posting this."Devil's on your shoulder"-what a tune that is!

[andie53]

You've hit the nail on the head.

[m77ola]

Another fuckin classic, cunts like bloc party, razorlight & hard - fi get wanked over by the NME & decent honest bands like proud mary & OCS get shat on!!! great tune keep the vids coming u legend!!
