The Teardrop Explodes - Seven Views Of Jerusalem

[THESM1THS]

the hook has been stuck in my head for 29 years

[headrush77]

Allright song . Must be off the second album.

[xwaystranger]

Gay.

[tw28st]

@xwaystranger

you are gay!

it's a strange way of coming out !!!

[yeoviljunction]

@xwaystranger No, I'm not. But thanks for showing interest. It's quite flattering really.........I suppose......

[oogie11]

This song reminds me of Japan...the band I mean :) and, also, the drummer in Teardrop Explodes reminds me of Paul Morley

[ClueSign]

Good skankin'

[tw28st]

thanks again

i used to sing this in the bath

[yeoviljunction]

@tw28st you used to wish your father was there?

[tw28st]

@yeoviljunction LMAO yeh he died when i was 1year old

[yeoviljunction]

@tw28st Sorry to hear that - or maybe not (it's all yours) - thats the curse of anonymity, I suppose. I made a puerile comment......

Saw Teardrop Explodes in '81, I think, at Bristol Colston Hall, and JC solo loads of times.

[tw28st]

@yeoviljunction it was a comment i would of goofed as well

your the same age..it made me laugh

are you a big cope fan?

[yeoviljunction]

@tw28st I bought everything of his as they came out until around Peggy Suicide when real life started to intrude and then other things got in the way of music. You Tube is helping me rediscover it all.

[tw28st]

@yeoviljunction do you play ie guitar etc

and i am trying to find a version of suffocate with an orchestra

[yeoviljunction]

@tw28st Yes I play, but badly. The band I was in needed a singer so I put down the guitar and threw some Cope-like shapes*shakes head in embarrassment*. Why? Looking at forming a band? ☺

I'm afraid suffocate escapes me. I can't remember it all.....probably an age thing.

[tw28st]

@yeoviljunction was in a band for 10 years yawn!

would like to do the internet band thing

i have a 16 track recording studio an numerous instruments

including roland td6 drum kit

more of a producer than player

i found a really good bass player from scotland

that's as far as i have got

[yeoviljunction]

@tw28st me too re: internet thing.

3 guitars, an acoustic bass, a couple of mandolins and a mono-synth. I've got a studio mic. for the computer and dodgy studio software. One day I'll get round to using it. Soon, hopefully. More of a writer than a player, though.

Were you playing in that 80s band on your channel? There's a video of my band somewhere. I sincerely hope it doesn't turn up on here.

I know a scottish bass player aswell. I've never heard him play-never met him - but he talks it well.

[tw28st]

@yeoviljunction can you give me an email addy

and where are you from? 

[rodrigobuitron]

Julian tiene una voz increible

[ronin1861]

A band in a moment, including Cope. Songs and choons of high quality and Copey isn't quite stable (at the end of this gig, he's Kevin Stapleton), but enough through the entire performance to offer confirmation of what TD could have been. BBC should release this on dvd now!

[5DeadlyRecords]

I love this band, but c'mon folks, this song is ass.

[silmalila]

Surely you jest.

[oogie11]

@5DeadlyRecords ha ha ha ha....I know what you mean...I remember buying Teardrop Explodes albums, and, there were many great songs...but a few were a bit...well, quirky :)

[lonelyboy03]

Julian is ALWAYS awesome. Too bad Ill never get to see him live. :(!

[BrownCharcoal09]

Julian Cope's ego is so big that it was reported if there would ever be a reunion of The Teardrop Explodes he replies with, "Would you ever return to your mother wiping your asshole?"

[wildenfree]

Yeah, well you name me a band whose lead singer doesn,t have an ego?.

[xensboy]

Top band.

[airdale1sorry]

Julian said how was the gear! lol.

[julesgreaves]

this is tops thanks

[sparkeezy]

Thanks for posting this! I had a copy of this on dodgy DVD but it became unplayable about two years ago. Have you got anything else from this show? Especially the epic 'Culture Bunker'?! Cheers again!

[GWBsux]

I love this band!! One of my favorites!

[patiotool]

Awesome.
