The Cars - Blue Tip - Brand New Song!

[dwryt12]

@fenderrlee @fkridge I no longer despise Rush. I used to can't stand them but I don't despise them anymore. The artists I hate the most are Justin bieber and Nickelback.

[bonniebardowski]

fantastic

[TheLisafritz]

I'm so glad the Cars are back! They are one of my favorite groups.

[fkridge]

@dwryt12 Rush are fuckin GODS and you are a cunt who prolly still lives with his mommy....

[opelgt4sp]

takes me back to the 80s love it

[LesSmith45]

anyone wanting to send me their phone number by replying to me i took over 100 pictures from the Front row of last nights show the first one in 24 yrs in Seattle. I will be happy to text some great pictures of them to you.

[snc1386]

Who else clicked a link to this and IMMEDIATELY thought..."oh hell yes this is The Cars!" Especially at that chorus, definitely The Cars.

[BrimHawk]

Hmm, David Robinson actually looks like himself this time around.

When we last saw him in the last interview with Ben Orr, he looked more like Phil Hartman.

[Stingernukegod]

I'm only 22 and this is the only album i have ever wanted to own that has come out while i have been alive. If i could go back in time id rather see The Cars then The Beatles or Elvis. Ric Ocasek is a God.

[rodeorickrodeorick]

Yeah! my favorite band is back. People on the radio have been dissing it so I came online and checked it out and they just do not know what they are talking about. I am sure to pick up the album, I think it sounds great. Keep at it Cars!

[circusmigdets]

I love these guys. they so much captured my attitude growing up." yea,yea!!!" it's that they're making music that is timeless with clever lyrics and was futuristic for it's day when they came out. "so right here I'm gonna melt inside of you!" I think everyone, including the cars, miss Ben!

[ladybluluv]

The video makes me dizzy @ /....bleghhh

Not to be mean, but I miss Benjamin's voice

Was a big fan of theirs, but I never really dug that electronic-y keyboard sound that EVERY band in the 80's did. It sounds much like their late 80's stuff. I like their earlier sound better.

Test



[CountBoogie]

this is a really fun song...very very cool and still very very cars...minus guitar solos :(

[Gusdocs1]

The Cars and Sparks two American super groups that should be in hall of fame love them both

[perpetual61]

I wish I could find a Cure for Cancer.

Then I would go back in time and stop

Benjamin Orr from gettiing it, so he

could be a part of this.

[dressshoeguy]

@perpetual61 I would not be surprised if Ric Ocasek includes a song in there in memory of Benjamin Orr. RIP

[whiplash308]

@dressshoeguy

Ric Ocasek isnt in the band, so why would he..?

[Disraeli01]

@whiplash308 - You need to go to the Cars web site, or Wikipedia or something. Ric Ocasek sure is in the band.

[superteddy590]

Can't believe not in hall of fame.

The selectors must be off their fucking heads because the cars fucking ROCK.

The selectors should get their heads out of their fucking asses and put the cars in

Thecars1

Filmed and recorded at Millbrook Studios,

engineered by Paul Orofino

[rorshakks]

Ya, was that Robinson on the drums or not? Someone tell.

[HEYITSTHATGUY09]

@rorshakks Yes that is David Robinson on drums.

Isn't this just freakin' awesome!?

The Cars rule!!!

[rorshakks]

@HEYITSTHATGUY09 I thought it was and then I went an got the official news on it. Good tune. I'm glad the real cars are back; regardless that Orr is gone.

[rshanks66]

LOVE IT LOVE! Heard it on WXRT in Chicago and I just knew it had to be them.

[ao5431]

Jesus, Elliot Easton blew up to about 300 lbs and Greg Hawkes looks in worse shape than Stephen Hawking and I agree, dude playing drums had the mannerisms I remember of David Robinson, but sure as hell didn't look like him. Only cat in that video that doesn't like like he's changed is Ric. And of course, it's still not the same without Ben Orr.

[Zrock0076]

I am glad there are some people that can type good things about great ROCK AND ROLL without mentioning the likes of "newer" artists who SUCK. (Will not mention names because mentioning these names would only TAINT this page).

[babyduck34]

well you might think it's foolish, but ... who's gonna drive me home tonight?

[babyduck34]

well you might think it's foolish, but oh oh, it's magic, problem is... who's gonna drive me home tonight?

[WolfwolfyWolf2]

RIP Orr! 

[chip1347]

Hey that's my studio!

[bambopbam]

Sounds so...eighties.

[bbtoday65]

marvelous!

[SUZI1990ful]

I'm a HUGE Cars fan, and I'm really looking forward to this new album. This clip does'nt let me know what they're really gonna sound like (its only 1:14 long). I want to know if they can recapture the old "magic" (lol) WITHOUT Benjamin Orr.

[haandyjew1]

It's actually great to her some new tunes from these guys again. As a 42 year old guy, this puts me right back in high school listening to Heartbeat City and the like. Kinda comforting in a strange, CARS retrospective way. Great rock/pop lives on.

[georgenorthwood]

It's good to have such a great band back again!!!

Ben RIP

[Pacisdiligo]

Great sample! CAN NOT WAIT 'til May 10th for the new cd "Move Like This"!!! Welcome back boys, it's been a loooong time.

[Tommyr]

Drum machines SUCK. 

[eartant]

Definately looking forward to the new album ! Been a fan from WAY back. Won't be the same without Ben though. RIP

[orrben]

This does NOT sound like A Ric Solo cd. You can hear all the sounds of a classic CARS cd here.Take a closer listen people.

[zxlr8r]

Move like this..sorry typo ..

[zxlr8r]

The cars New cd is called move Luke this may 2011 ..can't wait..

[doninwv]

Well, I know they used drum machines (you can even see some here) and processed drums quite a lot; I just thought the guy behind the drums here didn't look much like David. Hard to tell.

[relztrah]

So Greg and Elliot are now bottle blonds?

[doninwv]

IS that actually David on drums here?

[getchasumm]

@doninwv God only knows. Yes, he's in the vid, but is that him playing ??? Sounds like its an electronic drum.Yuk ! During the Heartbeat City sessions, Robinson was pissed cuz he wasnt using "regular" drums ! Can you blame him ? But uber-producer Mutt Lange was at the helm and David had NO choice. Pre-programmed 100%, also called: fake. Just listen to the drum sound on the 1978 debut, compared to 1984's Heartbeat City. NO comparison. 1978 wins hands down !! Sad but true.

[Panorama1981]

These new songs do sound a lot like Nexterday. But hopefully the new album will be a success, if thats even possible these days, with music downloads and iTunes and such.

[getchasumm]

must you fucking swear ???

[bramblemen]

Listen, I acknowledge your point. Yes Ric is the driving, creative force. But my point is, I think most Cars/music fans are excited by their return and don't give a fuck about the rest.

[bramblemen]

This fawner thinks it sounds real good. Mr. GetC has a point, however he is ignorant about the value of a band's chemistry, history and the solid muscianship of the remaining players. The Cars' catalogue and legacy has held up very well. Let's just all enjoy without filtering this welcome return through a layer of cynical shit.

[getchasumm]

@bramblemen Chemistry ??? In concert, maybe. On disc, NO ! These songs would sound IDENTICAL without the other Cars (just listen to Nexterday, Ocaseks last solo album). How can there be audio chemistry if the sound is no different without the others ?? Ben Orr DID provide a balance, but with him now gone, Ocasek truely IS in the "drivers seat" Keep in mind EVERY Cars song was penned by Ric. I'd say thats pretty much a "one man show" ! So please no "chemistry" talk !!

[getchasumm]

@bramblemen Furthermore, as for the drums here, its only a slight improvement over their mid-80's work, where David Robinson could have exited the drum kit MID-SONG and the beat wouldn't have changed ! (I'm talking in concert, live) Trust me, their "Door to Door" 1987 tour had THE most electric "plugged-in" drum sound EVER heard. So sorry if I'm "cynical", its the hard truth !!!

[getchasumm]

Look all you fawners, here is the deal with this whole thing: this is NO more than an Ocasek solo album. C'mon, he writes em all, and now (with Ben gone) sings them all. This coulda been on ANY Ocasek solo album. As for the others, they were gathered to call it "the Cars", which WILL attract a wider audience. Whether Ric wants to tour or not is another matter. He realizes this is his only hope of attracting sizeable audiences. 24 yrs is a long time people...will the audience still be there ?

[wizardsofclay]

The Masters Of Ear Candy

[HoserSaysWhat]

OMG I was tentative when I heard the news...but this ROCKS! It sounds like something off Candy-O. I can't wait!

[zxlr8r]

New album spring 2011.. Can't wait ..noel

[Essa2k7]

Brilliant! Just like the old stuff. Kick ass now amongst the rubbish that's out there at the moment! Ocasek is a master.

[aaronradcliff1]

awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kw2709]

awesome,sounds like classic cars,can't to hear the new stuff

[Rockford03]

hurry up cant wait

[Jantelover]

impossible to overstate the profound excitement and gratitude i personally feel for the reunion of such special talents -- and especially in combination... whatever the reasons, this is a gift to the world, so sincere thanks are in order from those inside and outside the music industry -- the cars are far more than just 'pop music' and someday this will be fully realized...

[Pacisdiligo]

Awesome! Loving this sample and the other one too, "Sad Song". So glad that Ric relented and chose to reunite the guys and put out some kick-ass new stuff! Can NOT wait for the new CD!!

[AllMixedUp312]

i demand more!!!!!!

[peaceandmetal88]

This is fucking awesome.

[stargazer477]

AWESOME! 

[audimanpov]

Wow !!!!  If all the tracks are as good as this its gonna be fabulous ! I must have played this 1.14 clip 50 times already . . . . . . . : ))

[zxlr8r]

The cars are back! Noel

[dantetomaselli]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!



[rodneyriddnauer]

damn near makes the rest of it all worthwhile...way to be ric!
