magazine - definitive gaze - live

[snedersnap]

Why are so many comments about Nirvana?

This is a magazine video, not a Nirvana video, or a Beatles video for that matter.

[mojaroar]

mcgeoch was a fucking bona fide genius.

[toofattoskate1]

How the fuck is mcgeoch getting that flanger sound?...fucking amazingly mindblowing

[CONSIDERABLYMORE1]

This is art

Clarity has reared its ugly head again. The guy's a lyrical genius

[kjaks]

Howard Devoto, a true genious just like Cobain and Lenon.

[blotchy67]

@kjaks Kurt Cobain wasn't a genius. Neither was John Lennon. Lennon was a great songwriter and Cobain was horribly overrated. Neither were nowhere near the same pitch as Magazine.

[kjaks]

@blotchy67 haha, and I thought my comment was exaggerated

[Chaanee]

@blotchy67 Dude they were geniouses. Lennon was never a super great songwriter like McCartney but hell yes he was a genious. And a great person. Cobain was an asshole but hell yes one genious.

[blotchy67]

@Chaanee No. Kurt Cobain sucked. He ruined "alternative" and underground music forever, by putting punk into the top 40(after him it was Green Day and The Offspring). McCartney WAS the better songwriter in The Beatles, but it was Lennon's weirdness that made them cool. I might give you Lennon as a genius, but Cobain? No Way.My opinion as to some of the last geniuses in music were Bird Parker, Thelonious Monk, Gustav Mahler,

[Chaanee]

@blotchy67 It takes the spark of genius to achieve what you mentioned.

[CONSIDERABLYMORE1]

@blotchy67 no he did not. i am no great cobain or nirvana fan, but there is no disputing a song such as "all apologies" is one of the most touching beautiful pieces of music the modern form has heard. being deiliberately obscure to prove a point is tiresome n the extreme. Get out more.

[armpits17]

@blotchy67 Cobain was no genius you got that right but saying he sucked is just hipster bullshit. Pearl Jam, now they suck. Nirvana aren't even alternative their just straight punk rock. Pixies are alternative and are ten times better than Nirvana. I was a never hard into Nirvana, but they had heart and soul and promoted all the great underground bands when they could. Thelonious Monk was better than Nirvana and Kurt and I even prefer listening to him rather than The Beatles

[cominroitover80]

@Chaanee John Lennon was an asshole, he beat his wife, treated his first son like shit and tried to steal music from frank zappa. Great songwriter, but a total cunt

[Chaanee]

I haven't found a song that is the same class as McCartney's, they seem more childish to me

[straightlinesisgay]

haha just realised where James Dean Bradfield lifted the riff from Mausoleum

[Ilanag]

Real Life is one of my all time favs as well. It doesn't get much better than Devoto's lyrics: I've got this bird's eye view

And it's in my brain

Clarity has reared

It's ugly head again

[pooka1967]

The album this song came from called Real Life is one of my top 5 all times faves. Its really worth checking out. There isnt one single bad track on it.

[marcol68]

Que rica la blondie!

[NBM3]

Non jumpy version at....Magazine Definetive Gaze OGWT !

[xyaqua]

The musical sounds they produced could keep one in nirvana for days...

I just had a job 2 blocks away from where i first heard Magazine,

Freaking wondeful memories. I might almost consent to going back.

The first time this hits your ears...

oh my God. have i aged that much? :-(((

[Tazz77]

Couldn't watch the whole thing. It jumps too much. Still a great song which sounds better live than on record.

[AncientFan]

Lovely opinions. What is the DATE of this Great Whistle Test show?! C'mon fans!

[Takac1979]

Loads of bands play this now and pass it as new...

[shimeonmorpheus]

what do you mean?

[abagail4me]

This must sounded really alien and weird back in '78.Still have my vinyl copy of "Real Life" :)

[themusicfella]

Bit jumpy great vid brings back memories watching this got me into them loved them ever since

[TitchTV]

Now that really is very live!! You couldn't mime that if you wanted to! Genius.

[1x1x1x1]

[phill90212]

Good old Annie...wonder if she is still around?

[chrisnoaro1]

[letsaveyer]

"hi,n welcome 2 jazz club....nice"

[ACroft13]

LOL! - That's exactly what I was thinking....brilliant made my day :-)

[ocean686]

prog punk

[Hooverdan]

Rubbish tune,is that Rick Wakefield in the background,in the foreground,in the foreground, then they split.

[thirstymuse1]

Great song but this version is hilariously all over the place. They did like a pint. It was a real Rickenbacker btw, I've played it. Barry had many bass guitars.

[FrancoDamn]

was that bass a rickenbacker? or a copy? I understand Rick copies are crap (but i can't resist to buy one, real or copy). Barry used it very well, i can't understand why did he changed to many other basses.

[iainwish]

Class is permanent......class is permafrost.........no better post punk band.....catch them this summer at various festivals before it is too late...check out their My Space page - excellent.......... I've got this bird's eye view......

[looksdirty]

Radiohead owes them big time.

[juanmanuelvarela]

joy division

[psychodamned]

DAve Formula looked like Gaylon from planet of the apes. Great great band . Love this song !

[knobby2708]

Barry Adamson on keys?

Sorry Anne it was Dave Tomlinson aka Dave Formula. He owned a studio called the Strongroom in Landan and was a good northerner gone bad in the saaath.

Trippy tune though

[135026]

The correct spelling is "Sarf" as in he owned a studio in Sarf Landan

[luvumo2day]

magazine rocks wut happend ,to cool for skoolbonzo76rockon silky boards mon!!!!!!

[mobyboy]

who said that punk was against progressive ? this is a perfect harmony of both

[Khultan]

'Punk' was just a desperate label on the part of the media to try identify the unfamiliarity that finally unleashed upon the world.

[Ursulauu]

I saw Magazine last night in Manchester! - I wish I had been old enough to see them at this time back in the late 70s! - Love Howard!!

[nipglass04]

class. saying a lot as they are from Manchester! lol

 many bands admit to them being a big influence on their music Duran Duran, Simple Minds, Human League........

[spignific]

on at london forum 13th feb.get in there

[boltonbear]

The best band to come out of manchester.

[fiscornioman]

One night, i was smoking a joint in my terrace while hearing this song, and the beginning reminded me to the 80's animation series about spaceships and stuff, i could see the spaceships in that night sky! it was amazing.

[andykopgod]

Can't stop playing this song, catchy as fuck. Great band.

[mowy106]

Catch them in Manchester on Valentines night.

[andykopgod]

REALLY! I'l have to check that out. Sadly won't be the same without John McGeoch. Cheers.

[tatianitanyo]

amo esta cancion!!!! & if you don´t understand,, I love this song!!!!!!!

[windmills20]

Old Grey Whistle Test WTF!
