Wonder why they were BOTH playing Strats, since neither of them really ever did. Odd.

[tiranchula]

This one is my Favorite pick of the day! The best line up of the Pretenders..... and one of the best songs they did!

[bds1167]

Their 1980 debut is one of mine and Rolling Stone's favorite albums of all-time. I was so in love with Chrissy Hynde/Joan Jett in the 7th grade.... Awesome blend of feminine kick ass rocker!!

[DeathMetalDouglas68]

It's really creepy to watch this knowing that two of these guys (James and Pete) would be dead in less than two years.

I've never seen Chrissy playing a Strat before! That's rare. She loves her Teles!

[Geotubest]

@ERICWENDYBRIAN Very perceptive. I was amazed to see that as well.

[superfishially]

One of the most awesome guitar solos - short, sweet & to the point.

[Nigelxman]

thesteve46, You're right , this was definitely the best lineup but to suggest that Chrissie Hynde had nothing left after this makes you look like a complete fucking wanker. Well done.

[meowqueenx]

i agree... their original lineup was by far the best... but chrissie still has talent of her own.

[Nigelxman]

You said it Queenx. Chrissie Hynde is one of the best singer songwriters of the last 30 years. Period. She's my favourite female voice ever.

Check out Pete Farndon's Camo finish bass! COOL

[KobezBro]

i always liked his Rising Sun Flag Bass

[thestevo46]

this is the original line up,and the best,after pete and jimmy died there was nothing left....

[KobezBro]

during private life she got mad and told people with cameras to fuck off

then 4 minutes through the song she goes you, you, you, and you, OUT

[gutchman84]

was she really telling people to leave? Why?

[KobezBro]

she was i coud upload the song for you if you want

im pretty sure in the song before private life (stop your sobbing) she saw a couple cameras then said "it's kinda obvious i dont want my picture taken so if you could please FUCK OFF with your cameras!"

then i think a little later jimmy goes "Hey HEY!"  then after the line "You asked me for advice, i said use the door... You, and you, and you, OUT!"

ill upload it

[meowqueenx]

lol appropriate considering that song

[roooby66]

of all the great Pretenders songs "Kid" is still my favorite...

[456mikey]

Jimmy's spot on, and not too outragous this time, not missing any notes.

Great post.
