Julian Cope - East Easy Rider

[barbarianella]

Looks like Callanish Stone Circle.Great video by a brilliant performer who is still writing great songs.

[jenkem23]

i like his music but cope is a money -grabbing capitalist cunt

[alcoholofamer]

No, not Echo, he was in The Crucial Three

[lefrauens]

Droolian......

[JovianSavante]

thats one intune druid dude

[KarmicAnarchist]

He is rather good, isn't he? And who'd have though, when he wound up the Teardrops, what a Hippy he really was! See him now and again, in Morrisons.

Good on ya, Copey!

[missbabydoll187]

i haven't seen this video in years, and years...

[dani2202]

Grandioso !!

[mattsince69]

Too fucking good to describe in mere words. Thankfully, Cope's still making the best noise in the world, though the masses haven't a clue...

[phlypped]

FUNKY! why it wasn't bigger than it was is quite beyond my thinking

[ohmypregnanthead]

he's just so so good

[princessdragonfly200]

who is the mysterious rider?

[mickeydamonkey]

Julian Cope.....the one and only.

[lonelyboy03]

Pete DeFrietas princess.

[lonelyboy03]

He was in Echo and the Bunnymen.

[johnbharris]

Ah...sweet.

Saw him in Chicago.  Crazy fun show.

20 years ago, mind you...but good memories.

[meflove]

This record should have sold more copies than Thriller, Nevermind and Born in the USA combined!

[hoodgie]

Let's just say he definently has his mum's looks......bless her !Strangely enough, when I started my paper round her house was on my run and when I collected the money she would open the door and Julian's platinum/gold records were hanging on the walls leading up the stairs....happy days !

[paulsturgulewski]

Platinum Records? That's awesome. I am glad to know that others are indulging in this chaos called COPE!

[lonelyboy03]

There hasnt been hardly a better pop songwriter in the last 30 years than Cope.

[hoodgie]

Julian's mum taught me at infant school...she always said she had a famous son but we were too young to really understand....makes me proud to be from Tamworth !

[damagedangel08]

Cool! Was she anything like Julian?

[giNgkoC]

sensible lad

[boyspider7]

from 1991

[bradleyelizabeth]

Amazing - still to this day for us the best music for travel. Music with no borders.

[opiumrebel]

Great stuff, such a long time since I've seen this. Time flys by.

[daanus12]

stupid bull shit

[dovercourtdave]

what a beauty

[JagBetty]

And he almost sold out for this song to be used in a Levi advert.

[solometer]

Yea JC Yay ! always the coolest !

[ThisIsYesterday]

Respect. Julian is the man.

[julesgreaves]

nice video and a top song groovey as fuck . seen jules loads of times, peggy suicide era. as long hair goes he looks cool.

[angrysamoan666]

In England, many standing stones exist still. Then they were the temples

[Kela08]

magical mystery tour

[23Hostile]

Good song, but I prefer the dance version. Shame that's not on here.

[doctorsatanist]

Peter DeFreitas R.I.P.

[mik1234]

biking in britain, beautiful, my inspiration to pass my motorcycle test and be free. thanks a load for that video, now riding for 15 years. cheers to mr cope too

[tozbadboy]

straight out of the culture bunker!

[KIESRICHARD]

Saw him at the Waldbühne in Berlin with Siouxie and Iggy Pop....his group had a tank on stage,must be'bout '86...but people,all these fucking lookalikes Jim Morrison.and as whom looks Jim like?seems me

[Snotra]

Hey went the Jim Morrison root!

[art2liv4]

Beautiful location -- where and what is it?

[mummymonkey]

Looks like Callanish.

[barbarianella]

I'm sure it is. Brilliant video

[sinnydex]

the man is a true genius enough said

[MichelleLuvsNYC]

Ditto about Jehovahkill. I always pull that one out to listen to--great music, voice and lyrics.

[betweentides]

Julian H Cope is thee ArchDrude ov Wessexy... He continues to get better with each release. (Although Jehovahkill is kind of untoppable in its own way.)

This song was written for Levis to use in some jeans commercial, but then Julian, thinking of his artistic integrity, pulled out of the project at the last minute and kept the song for himself. Rite On!

[kirkwallboy]

He's a pretty special bloke, treasure him. The Peggy Suicide album, in 1991, is up there with the Pixies for trashing barriers.

[duncansuicide]

Great hair! Julian at his most Jim Morisson.

[aylastarsaphire]

ABSOLUTELY!!!

[cat1976]

aww man i wish it bufferred faster... julian is mint, and beautiful vid too :)

poet is priest indeed

[JagBetty]

Is that Pete DeFretis riding the motorbike?

[mazz4200]

Dont think so Jag. Pete was killed in 89, this vids from 91 i think. (unless its old footage)

Although oddly enough he had his accident going home after he filmed the China Doll vid for JC

[littlegodess1]

i thought it was troy tate

[wireandwood]

so is that a tribute to Pete DeFreitas, then? So happens he went to my school but years before. I found an article in Q about a crazy 14day bender in New Orleans that he did. Stuck it on a notice boards in the school. The head turned it into a moral about the evils of drugs, suggesting that's why he died. Cock, I thought.

[HumGuitar]

Eat your heart out, Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper.  :-{D=

[santafe74]

10/10! The world needs more Archdrudes before its too late, NOW!!
