The Jesus And Mary Chain - April Skies (Video)

[GyrgeFenrisnox]

incrível como uma banda passar a ser parte de nossa vida de maneira tão especial. Ouço Jesus and... praticamente todos os dias. É uma das bandas que expressam muitos dos meus sentimentos e me fazem viajar com suas melodias, seus acordes, seu ritmos. Linda voz do Reid, Amo de paixão.

[ranka35]

i like it when he sang with hope sandoval!

[constellationcancer]

hey i was born in the eighties and i remember when this song first came out

[theimaginarysuitcase]

This song changed my life. Actually.

[Fender0196]

It doesnt matter how old you are. Any age can appreciate JMC!

[myhandsareopen]

"pop rappy stuff"....You sound like an idiot.

[xz4q18]

is it the mighty gillespie on drums

[oliviawilliams7]

I'm 89 on thursday and I love JMC.

[iainandeva]

Thank you (takes me back0

[Veletti2]

Im only 15 months and I listen The Jesus And Mary Chain, YEAH IM THE COOLEST BABY EVER

[ri394]

when did this "i'm this age and i listen to this music" become so popular? it's fucking annoying. it's like these people are showing off, like "oh look at me, i'm so young and already have great taste. i'm a fucking genius prodigy, i deserve a fuckin nobel prize"

[TAVRIS]

this music is fuckin' spiring!!!

[jordanellington]

i'm 26 and i had a colonoscopy last month

[GrungeWouldNeverDie]

I'm only 13, and for me is 'pop dead'.

Music like this, makes sence. This is real music.

The jesus and mary chain saved my life.

[noelreverberation]

@GrungeWouldNeverDie also i'm 13 . jesus and mary chain , echo and the bunnymen , smiths ,cure , omd , talking heads and also many pop /new wave band like ABC , talk talk, duran duran , flock of seagulls , howard jones , nik kershaw were simply brilliant and real . 80s forever

[arthurpussy]

@noelreverberation we had some really good music back then ? why ? 3 million out of work one in ten of the workforce ,no mobiles no internet !!///???? makes one wonder doesnt it ?

[thedogsbawz]

Try The Pixies............phenomenal,t­he only word to describe everything that they wrote!

[Lee141966]

@thedogsbawz the pixies are a great band !

[themercycrew]

Killing God?



[PJMRicardo]

This song makes me remember the one

[eeilidhgowanss]

my dad used to play this to me in the car when i was three. 

[ColorfulHyena]

I'm just a fetus and my virgin mother introduced me to The Jesus and Mary Chain. :3

[GyrgeFenrisnox]

Jesus and Mary Chain é a banda de minha vida, ouço todos os dias, tenho todos os albuns, analiso cada letra, a sonoridade me fascina, vou nas nuvens, é a banda que mais expressa meu lado triste e alegre ao mesmo tempo. Tenho muito a agradecer a essa banda

[Mikesdailyjukebox]

love the guitar build up after "I sacrifice myself to you" line. 

[TheMimifur]

Still one of my faves so many years on and gosh there were some other bands doing songs like this who never got fame. Check out James King and the Lone Wolves for instance. Love them all.

[caessarion]

so few people heard all this outstanding music when it first came out, they should re-release it. It would male even more money and get twice the recognition. OR someone else could just play theses great songs and pretend like they invented it.

[sounds73]

I LOVE "april skies"- even in december! ;)

[TheKievKen]

I'm not even jizz yet, but I love this video

[Alhan2ah]

I'm 51 and I loved this when it was first out, and I love it now. Brilliant to dance to.

[centralohioguy]

These guys made a lot of VERY good songs. Maybe they weren't the best musicians, but they knew enough about playing their instruments to churn out a bunch of really good pop music.

[travisnealtodd70]

I'm 41 and I approve this message.

[chasethepainaway]

Hi i'm 15 :D and i love Jesus and Mary Chain, Echo & The Bunnymen, The Smiths and other amazing bands. Sooo?

[aliesbnr]

@chasethepainaway

Good for you then!

[SinisterNight96]

Why do people like this shit, Chris Brown all the way

JK i hate Chris Brown, Jesus And Mary Chain rule

[TheNewMusicNetwork]

@SinisterNight96 lol chris brown? is that the chimpanzee who beat up that ugly afro bitch? I don't even watch or follow fags who beat up "women".

[BeeXP]

Why is everybody saying there age? Oh well, I'm 14 and I think that The Jesus And Mary Chain are amazing. :)

[deeeneecee]

@BeeXP cuz this song came out in april 1987

[caessarion]

adhd is how life is just go jog and it will go away, fuck medicine

[TheNewMusicNetwork]

@caessarion i wish people who have those issues could do that but some of them have injuries. 

[LadyMeilin]

Why is everyone saying their age? *cough* 19..

[jordacord]

Why are we doing the age thing haha ? I'm 17 and love them. It doesn't matter what generation you are from, appreciate the music and shut up.

[dillinger9999]

fuckin nasty rap before a great song...

[tamsinhasnolife]

@Littlegreenturtles I'm 15, I WIN.

[NinjaaElliee]

@tamsinhasnolife Me too, its good aint it

[monkeysandhamsters]

i've got trousers just like his!

[Littlegreenturtles]

Proud of you :-)

[eviled2006]

Back in the 80s my best friend and I worked all over the country floor laying and we used to have this song cued up on the cassette to play as loud as we could as we swerved away from work on the Friday afternoons...it was always the first song we played!

Was the best song ever to play, loud as hell as we were heading home for a weekend of drinking and shagging.

Just listening to it again brings it all back!

Brilliant song!

[jdanpass]

Only three simple chords in this song (E, A and B)

It's amazing!

[bowerhmca]

im 3 and im really into tjamc

[relientk93]

why did i have to be born in 93 :(

[fulcilives92]

im only 19 and most people my age are listening to that new pop rappy stuff but not me the jesus and the mary chain is real music:)

[ThisGuyLikesToSkate]

@fulcilives92 Aren't you special?

[fulcilives92]

@ThisGuyLikesToSkate yes i em

[SiarbosSamedSol]

@fulcilives92 lol I'm another J&MC 19' years aged fan.

[iamtheilluminator]

@fulcilives92 congratu-fucking-lations

[AleMayaOM]

@iamtheilluminator haaaaaahahahahhhaha good one

[ybot1983]

[leebung]

@ybot1983 yeah but they were wrong about elvis

[lanceortheo]

@fulcilives92 I am one and a half years old.I win!

[angeldestroy1]

@fulcilives92 i'm only 15, and i literally worship music like this.

[jsnhyns]

@fulcilives92 who cares how old you are?

I'm only 12 an i love JMC

[greatestxgift]

@jsnhyns Do you understand how stupid and mindless you come off as when you state that no one cares how old someone else is then go on to pathetically state your age?

[jsnhyns]

@greatestxgift oh dear you really don't understand the concept of tongue in cheek irony. Never mind dear boy maybe when you do you will stop and think before repilying to my comment and looking like an absolute turd....

[jsnhyns]

@greatestxgift .... oh also if you bothered to check you'd see i'm actually 26, haha fooled you greatest gift, hahaha

[snarkey5]

@fulcilives92 yeah i bet u judge urself off them aswell

[theimaginarysuitcase]

@fulcilives92 It wasn't so different back then, you know. You turned on the telly and 90% of the music that was aired was Den Harrow, T'Pau, Mel & Kim, Rick Astley, Alphaville, and it sucked at least as much as what sucks today.

[TheSaoirse777]

@theimaginarysuitcase OMG! Alphaville/T'pau are like beacons of creativity compared to today.

[noahmowsen2]

01:36 -The role of Jim Reid movements remind me of the role of movements Simple Minds Jim Kerr, it is possible to be both Scottish denominador there is a common in terms of body language?= Shoegaze

[meisCeline]

[agentakb]

[tedriding]

[TheBrian6666]

to spock 902: Hope the Child Porno's Law comes down on a piece of shit like you soon. You're fucked in the head inmany more ways than one...... obviously. I shouldn't even be posting now, cause you'll get rid of all you're underage, illegal mat.

Your a lowlife cocksucker, and if your ego , like most lowlife cocksuckers hadn't got in the way, you might go on living your child.........................­.........Just think of all the stale cigarettes you'll make in jail. Until the day/raped/death

[14LORDBYRON]

The jesus and mary chain es mejor que un día solo.....

[MrHanskrankel]

teen angst in the 80's its just all came back to me

[peterpeterxxo]

the sleeve of the 7ins single, a christ figure on a crucifix/cross holding a hand cannon in the aching sunlight.

[liberalguilt]

just a pity that it they didn't replace bobby gillespie with a real drummer - the drum machine on this spoils it slightly.

[Steerpike07]

this is so beautiful i want to cry. today's generation will discover this in the ruins of their plasticated ear drivel and worship these old bands as gods.

[Robcatist]

Guitar bands will have there day again, doubt they'll be asgood as this thoe.

[mkloki66]

may,,the fellow indie grandparents rock in their wheelchairs,,,,while the grandchildren feast on GA GA,,,,,

[JollyJimmyJohnston]

This songs just blows me away!! It reminds me of better times!! When music was of a much higher standard! Hope to fuck these guys do a new album!!! it'll be fuckin massive!! Its actually surprising how many kids are discovering this great music!! There is a big demand for these guys!!! Please come back and clean-up guys!! you can do it Jim and William!!!

[dunx1964]

Yet another under rated Scottish band!

[matitsarichie111]

[MidnightsanitariumTV]

@TheJason666999 its too unforgetable lol

[MegaCharlieCooper]

What's all this about Bobby writing to Trixie's Big Red Motorbike? Has anyone actually SEEN them? I'm doing TBRMs Wikipedia, and I need facts.

[Littlegreenturtles]

Hey!!! I'm 38 and I dig this - does that make me a cool youngster?

[ian8875]

@Littlegreenturtles

This was released in the late 80's, you should be into it.

[tech4me]

@Littlegreenturtles Wait... this came out 24 years ago... are you saying kids like this these days?

[apsme46du]

@Littlegreenturtles - afraid not! I'm 43 and bought this when I was 18 :-)

[ABetterYesterday]

@Littlegreenturtles Oh, please, I'm 15. Haha.

[IggyandtheStardust]

[AlanWattParrot]

[ashleyzyra]

classic!!

[rodolfoasx]

Há alguns anos dois pais sairam para jantar. Algumas horas mais tarde,

a babá estava ligando para perguntar se eles poderiam cobrir a estátua de

palhaço no quarto das crianças, o pai disse: “Leve as ccrianças, vamos chamar a polícia,

pois nós não temos nenhuma estátua de palhaço.” A “estátua palhaço” é realmente

um assassino que fugiu da prisão. Se você não publicar esta carta em 10 músicas,

esta noite, você verá o palhaço em sua cama às 3:00 da manhã com uma serra elétrica na mão.

[tat2miami]

Badass song!!

[yvebobster]

@tat2miami

[sharona4608]

awwwwesome!!!!

[zzzzShereenzzzz]

[dosgalpones]

[darthsaya]

Bow down to the shoegazer fathers!!!

JAMC 4 EVER!!!!

[gazerman65]

I can't believe I have to sit through a Sears commercial to listen to April Skies

[TheMimifur]

Rank this with the Bunnymen? Check out the bands that supported the JAMC and you will find only one step removed from the Bunnymen.

[meatisburger2]

bring the wall of sound back is all i gotta say

[levertrevel]

music is dead

[PrimalStones]

I'm a massive Stone Roses fan and i've heard of this band but never got round to listening to them. Love them, great band. Any recomendations of their best songs?

[GenocideKommando1]

@PrimalStones Get the Psichocandy and Automatic albuns (Psichocandy has a lot of guitar distortion and Automatic is more like this song)

[PrimalStones]

@GenocideKommando1 cheers man

[GenocideKommando1]

@PrimalStones No problem... I sugest this two because are my faves... but check the others also. Stay cool man.

[FilipeSlow]

@PrimalStones , April Skies, Somtimes Always, Just Like Honey, Some Candy Talking, Sidewalking, Blues From a Gun, Head On.... I could go on forever. If you ever have the chance to listen to their first album (Psychocandy) on VYNIL, that's an awesome experience.

[PrimalStones]

@FilipeSlow cheers mate

[darthsaya]

@FilipeSlow... The Hardest Walk, Deep one Perfect Morning, Nine Million Rainy Days, Taste of Cindy, Taste the floor, Cut Dead, In a hole...yep we could go on and on!!! Psychocandy is just awesome and in vynil!...Cant get better than that!!!!

[FilipeSlow]

@darthsaya Happy when it rains, just listened to it... Man, couldn't agree more with you

[darthsaya]

@FilipeSlow Happy when it rains!... awesome song!!! Cant decide which one I like the most! Guess I´ll have to listen to all JAMC to try to make up mi mind...again!!! hahaha Cheers bro!

[darthsaya]

@PrimalStones Get Psychocandy for sure!!! The Hardest Walk just kicks ass!... By the way, Stone Roses kick ass too!!!

[TheKob1977]

@PrimalStones Check out 'On The Wall' on their Barbed Wire Kisses album version, 'Never Understand', 'Somethings Wrong', 'Good For My Soul', ''Taste of Cindy'. just to name some

[mediattackrecords]

parental punks are black blocking

[fadthelegend]

[djpelom]

[valverdista]

JMC kicks the ass of all rnb and hipop that we listen today, jesus I want to be a rock n' roller...

[hathoran]

[vlado544]

[cleverlouanne]

JAMC FUCKING ROCK!!! God why wasn't I born in Scotland??

[60adl]

@adeleellie6... tit? fuck yourself then hen.

[laurindoization]

1986 coliseu do porto (portugal) one of the best gigs i've been......was ssssssssssssooooooooooooooo young.......

[loststripe79]

would everyone stop asuming young people only listen to crap? im considerably young and i love the jesus and mary chain.

[ivanthecuddly]

Best thing that ever happened to them was getting banned by radio 1,by that self important arsewipe mike smith!

The 80's answer to the Velvets!

[Hirsute63]

@ivanthecuddly I fucking HATE Mike Smith...

[lionfirst1969]

i've seen live in 88..

[adeleellie6]

Knew these guys - met them in London. Saw them about 10 years later buying clothes in M &S - rock n roll guys. They said they hated funk music. I liked their stuff but there's a place for everything. They're from East Kilbride I think. Not a criticism, just a fact (Hopefully)

[60adl]

@adeleellie6 you saw them in m&s about 10 years later indeed. heard of Freud? you can buy dream therapy tho' I doubt its available cheaply. contact me and its only £20.00 p/h. and I'll send you away just as happy with your delusions reinforced as required.

[adeleellie6]

@60adl Tit. I spoke to them. You seem to be taking a throwaway comment very seriously.

[thefirstcolours]

Jim's hair <3

[majirennja]

クール！



[bryten54]

If you like this song checkout The Runaway by Regret the Hour

[frankenstang57]
