Nouvelle Vague - live - The Guns of Brixton

[loopstheloop]

This is impressive for a video recorded on a potato.

[PBANDSNOW]

Its neat, but the whole point of this song was bass

[Josef87J]

They're NOT a live band, they kind of suck live, although I'm in Love with their studio albums, but they're just not a live band!

[emppanda]

their live shows can be somewhat lacking, but their live sessions are in many cases better than their studio ones

[dafrankiye]

I agree with you, but it's not that expensive and it's still solid entertainment, so who cares? ;)

[Bunnicula71]

@Josef87J

I just saw them last night, and they killed it.

This vid/audio sucks, you can't shine a turd.

Maybe they got better, because they were fantastic.

[francie1988]

love it! It would be nice if Nouvelle Vague produced some music videos to properly present their music.

[alice1wonderland]

a great cover of a great song!

[indieashlee]

she covers all my favorite songs and doesnt do a good job lol

[faerials]

it's a cool song and a cool band (who does only cover...) Pratiquement inconnu en France, jsui content de voir que les anglophones apprécient! Nouvelle vague étant un groupe français chantant en anglais il n'est pas bien connu en France... dommage! Long life to Nouvelle Vague!

[Escheroca]

Hi faerials! I'm portuguese and I love Nouvelle Vague! They are amazing on stage!!! Long lifo to Nouvelle Vague!!

[DirtyBoots87]

Nothing worse than a covers band, pinch their songs from other bands and their name from a film movement

[pinkanimal1]

I'm a clash fan and I love this version. They turned something old and made it there own. seems punk to me.

[THEhahahahahahaWALL]

i like this version better (the studio version).

shoot me

[fabriziuccia]

I love this cover. I'm a old, old old clash fan

[cecen555]

Great cover! shut up you ignorant fools.

clash fan

[jackjude]

Yeah but it's all they do...This one's okay...but now please stop.

[cecen555]

heh, fair enough :)

[kouglof]

Franchement naze, un massacre, cette version n'a aucune vie, aucun cachet c'est plat.

[indigodistrict]

oh what? its nice to cover. but the original is the best. the arcade fires version of this has more heart but the clash version is by far the best. its supposed to be raggae. its all about the bass line

[TFT3M]

you're all a bunch of conventional oldies...the point of covering a song is to actually make it sound the way you want...these guys have done a great job...I love this much more than the original.Stop slagging them off and get a life

[duchampo]

what is this? they reckoned that covering "cool" songs sounding like bollocks was going to be "it"?

[TFT3M]

How can you say that?!!! I love this version much more than the original! They are absolutely fantastic. You're all mad.

[ellyeny]

Aaaargh! they killed this great song! buh bah buh! xb

[Mazi1969]

Die habe ich immer in der Examensphase gehört. Schade das es da keine bessere Aufnahme gibt!

[funkmike]

Is this band intent on destroying every great punk/new wave song ever made? Just knock it off, already!

[burtr]

Amusing the odd comment about the Paul Simenon singing on the original. Guess the posters havent been to Brixton and notice the irony of the original.

BTW this is shit. They do seem to murder some classics. Kill them.

[shonuffisthemaster]

How many great songs does this band have to slaughter befour there through?

[ricree]

I don't know. How much of the English language are you going to slaughter before you stop posting?

[shonuffisthemaster]

I know I know I failed ingrish, apparently it means that I can't think.

[Gfresh1620]

Haahaa ! Yeah this band is shit ! Sorely lacking any originality...Its pathetic.

[loebas667]

i love this song but the audio on this particular clip is un petit vague.

[Belgarion237]

Une version magnifique quoiqu'en dise quelques mauvaises langues...

Paul simonon didn't know how to sing this song maybe if he has heard this group, the original version (studio version) may have been greater...

[trouduc00]

et si la chanteuse de NV en avait on l'apellerait paul!

[MHGW]

What a bad version of a good song!

Please hear the original!

[tomhare65]

nouvelle vague play this song better than the clash :), bad recording though

[pawelz16]

Clash version has its own charm. This cover is also nice, but was sang too clear ;-)

ps. Sry for my terrible english

[spark15burak]

nouvelle vague is perfect .

[Stereominate]

I don't think they work too well live. xD

I do love this track, though. M3

[thatch]

same sentiments as me, Nouvelle Vague totally own all other cover bands, and the fact they are French makes it all the more sexy
