The Rezillos - Destination Venus/Getting Me Down

[bobbydj01]

I remember watching this when I was 10 and wanting to marry Fay Fife. Primarily because she rocked my entire world. Still does in fact.

[TheRush1966]

fuckin top do. allways loved the rezillos:)

[TheMightyGusset]

Considering that they're playing to an audience of none that's a pretty full on live performance !

Also this is the fourth version of this song I've heard with different lyrics - it must've been re-written several times.

[TheAlterego13]

Is it just me or is this Fay chick just really annoying? I can see it being better without her...

[igornonsuch]

@TheAlterego13 It's just you ;-)

[SpeedTriple59]

Still love Fay Fife..she is still a Babe..

[augustpow]

Muitooooooooooo fodaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!

[revzillo]

I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOo glad i managed to catch them at the fleece at Bristol !!! .....Magnificent and it was the first time I ever saw em live ......I've only been fan of theirs for ...Oh let me see ....since i left school back in 1979 ........What have i been missing ??? Alot it seems !!! ......And they were just as mental as they were back then !!!

Love them!

[shonuffido]

Playing Birmingham on 14/8/2011 ..... CAN NOT WAIT!

[Ohitsnatalie]

They're back touring this year ...off to see them in Edinburgh in December 2011.

[edfeltch]

saw revillos in 1980,awesome but less punk

[Karibanu]

Rezillos & the B52s both started in 76

If I didn't have to live through the 80s again I'd love to go back...

[finmarc]

Nice to see that they still have fans, love em since 78 (aged 9). A time machine would be nice...

[Toestubber]

This is awesome. Nice twist with Eugene & Fay singing each other's parts on Getting Me Down.

[RamonesKaraoke]

Callis rules. Wish I could play half as well as him.

[awernham]

Rezillos came first. Formed in the mid 1970's. One of the great bands of the era, and still excellent live.

[kabeauregardajax]

wheni die, im gonna get this played at my funeral, you know.. just to piss off me mam!

[hoodsxl]

Who came first the B52s or the Rezillos?

[johnbarry1965]

@hoodsxl I was just thinking that!!!!

[OssyTuber]

Remember buying this single, flintstone rock.

[cyberyanmar]

when he starts strumming the guitar carbona not glue comes to my mind

[rubiconuk1981]

The best I've ever heard their guitarist! He must have been practicing for weeks for this performance ! Drum kit is in bad need of tuning though!! Those toms at the beginning ... boo ! lol

[draypowers]

Easily in my top ten bands of all time, going back to the Stone Age. Maybe even my top five. Can't Stand The Rezillos hovering close to #1 album ever. At my funeral I might have if played it in its entirety...

[CombatRocks]

What a great band. They were like the British version of the B52s. Only, fae Fife!

[5WE11]

Awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!

[berettadreams]

YES!!!!!!!!!!

[JANER64]

old grey whistle test was the dogs bollocks, brilliant it was for showing Punk Rock

[pasty1965]

Awesome!!

I know they didn't agree to the live album coming out when they first split but the version of Destination Venus on that is the best ever!!

Just wish I could get hold of it as the double CD missed it off.....Sacrilige!

[SQ33K]

@nightmale1: I thought they were from Fife. As in Fae Fife?

Absolutely superb, nonetheless.

[1979cl1]

YES!!!!!!!!! This band rocks and one of my favorites!!

[TheIrredeemable]

I prefer the Man or Astroman? cover, but this is very enhoyable.

[ZLUGGO]

The best !

[punkrockefeller]

outstanding performance!

thanx 4 posting!

[66gadus]

great to see this after so many years - i LOVED Fay back then!

[NBM3]

Completely different D'Venus lyrics from the 45!!

Anyone know what they are.?

I get about 2/3 of them.

One of their best for me .

I do miss the Revettes back up and dancing.

And of course Mr Mysterious!

Thank you Rezillos !!!!

[bloodgorged]

excellent clip.i hope this stays up on youtube.

[nightmale1]

Edinburgh"s best!...and Eugenes bulge is quite impressive!

[johnwally]

pure filth

[ZLUGGO]

"Destination Venus" is one of the best songs ever,

[Haophil]

@ZLUGGO Hey, don't write what I want to write -.-



[tiffer68]

lol i cant stop watching this mad poor mad thats what it is

[punkrockefeller]

amazing piece of history! thanx 4 posting!

[tiffer68]

that was falkin brill

[Firedreamer77]

Bono must have copied Eugene's image for "Achtung Baby", I think

[gnowave]

yeh, possible, probably more of a nudge a wink and a tip of the cap tho rather than ripping him off tho

[MATTMAN92ish]

ahhh one of my favorites!

[gnowave]

yeh tight as fuck! better than all the poncey college band shite coming out of scotland just now

[randomcheesecake555]

what u mean glasvegas n all that?

[gnowave]

WHO?

well, we got all these kids getting taught by manager teachers their own convenient music histories to siut where there cash is invested and having been an older guy in college recently (ayr, very expensive set up) thats what i saw, i left, made me sick to the gut...

narrow and homogenous... but rezollos/revillos? wow simple off it rock and roll from their own wee trip...

i dont know a scottish band no matter how well they tevhnocally sing/play who dont sound like stuff already common

[randomcheesecake555]

yeah ok thats a fair point

[delta293]

you must be English tocklu

[Dillboy]

One of Scotlands finest!

[andrerams]

one fit scottish lassie!

[UNITED1CITY0]

Our own version of Princess Leia

[mjd612]

is this an alternate version w/ different lyrics? an older version?

[PSderesistance]

yes, the lyrics are very different aren't they - must have been a draft version before it was finalised for the single release

[Krakshot]

YAY!! Now THAT'S a live performance!! ^_^

[GeorgeZip2007]

Awesome! The guitarist then became a multi-millionaire writing the 'Dare' album for the Human League! !

THAT was gay - but fair play - he earned his bread and re-formed this wonderful band .... Scotland's own B-52's.

[roddy76to86]

Brilliant ! Shame about the quality, but great to see anyway.

[Scenesammi]

GAY

[sioux709]

a under appreciated band
