C R E A T I O N - Pain ter Ma n

[aprilglaspieable]

These guys had the good sense to steal from Ray and Dave.

[paintedship]

@aprilglaspieable  bullshit, look up the mark four they were around just as long as the kinks

[peedutt]

Much prefer Boney M's version, now thats what I call a band !

[RawUmbers1]

"Are you a mod or a rocker?"  "No, actually, I'm a mocker." Frightfully nice.

[brightonking69]

OMG! My stepfather is Kenny PIckett. I cant believe i have found this

Sadly, no longer with us :-(

[Jadell]

WE ARE THE MODS!!!!!

[midmodgal]

"went to college, studied art....." didn't most Brit bands back then?

[TheRepub]

This crap is living proof that if the music industry doesn't have anyone

CREATIVE, they'll stick anyone in!

[unclemeat2u]

This song always makes me laugh, because this is what happened to me after I graduated from Art school.

ha ha ha =)

[richwicz]

This song is terrible, wasn't it covered by Boney M? I'd much rather listen to something like The Small Faces Ogden's Nutgone Flake or The Who's Sell Out albums for some psychedelic goodness.

[shockmastershocksu]

@richwicz blah you know jack shit about 60s music

[richwicz]

@shockmastershocksuI don't claim to know anything about 60's music, I was born in 1968.All I know is this song is fucking awful and I'd rather listen to The Who or The Small Faces.I've heard The Creation are this highly influential band, so influential, in fact, that none other than Boney M covered this shit song.I'm sure they wrote better songs and were good musicians but this song is CRAP!

[skaworld509]

@richwicz yes they're a real marmite band

[paintedship]

@richwicz I love the creation, do you even know the rest of their songs? The Who really sucked ass with their rock opera/classic rock bullshit. At least the creation never went that route.

[KIDAmnesiacBends]

this band should have been as thier peers...

[POPAVIDEO]

vraiment superbe

[AristYdes]

its amazing that a song with a chorus that went "lalalala" like the dwarfs was so rebel at the time!

[IN3YSG]

Spettacolari ... !

[mattbeatle8]

concordo in pieno!

[waaahnnn]

This band was horrible, really bad. It must be 67 near worms in a small beat-club, theyre have wont to made the headliner, we have made the warm-up-band and after 2 or 3 songs from creation, the audience was crying for us (the pictures) again. So we where better and blow creation away... and we where 17.

[seanplally]

Yeah, but did your band write "Bif Bang Pow"?

[waaahnnn]

No, Fif Fang Show- or so!?

[seanplally]

:-)

[stOOpid68]

the only good thing to come out of the town of Worms is 4kn leibfraumilch wine!!

and it sounds like you have drunk too much-

better than the Creation?????

I 4kn doubt it !!

[waaahnnn]

Drunk too much? Sometimes yeah. But when i m drinking- only Armsheimer Geiersberg- never Liebfrauenmilch, Liebfrauenmilch is for the cars.

Prost!!

[stOOpid68]

LOL!!!!! Prost!!!

[shockmastershocksu]

@waaahnnn yeah what band were you in if you're so proud of that? I think the creation would've kicked your asses back then judging by their performance on the show beat beat beat which is on youtube.

[Quadrophenia47]

dude these guys kick ace!

[pennypopcicle]

this is the best frickin' style of music ever!!

[LOZLEUSBY]

amazing band,pop-art mods.

[brigader4heart]

brill band!,just like the action they should have been BIG,a hell of a lot of luck involved in making it and the action and creation names pop up with regularity as mod-r&b bands that should have made it!.

a real bloody shame!.

[faisalroute66]

BRITISH INVASION

[turquoisetandemcycle]

There were at least a dozen British 60 s bands who deserved a lot more recognition and success than they got,and this lot are probably at the head of the queue.They captured that 66/67 mod/pop art becoming pyschedelia period perfectly.They had the look/stage act/sound but never had a hit!not one!.Why they have only become the legends they deserve to be in retrospect is beyond me.

[JakeANowhereMan]

I agree, other mods had a better sound.

Small Faces, Easybeats etc.

[art72]

I fuckin love em....great band...true mod outfit...

[hekfreedom]

Jimmy Page copied Eddie Phillips playing guitar with a violin bow,but to call Page and Plant "The greats imposters"...I think you're going too far...Led Zeppelin kept the path opened by bands like Yardbird,The Creation and Small Faces but the Rolling Stones also copied to Muddy Waters and Robert Johnson, the Beatles copied Elvis and Little Richard ... that's not important, what matters is what they brought to the music..and it was great.

P.S.:I was a mod too.

[MoonchildMindaugas2]

@hekfreedom

LZ are in no way successors of The Creation or Th Small Faces, beside playing guitar with a bow. Because they do not sound like them, imho.

[shockmastershocksu]

@hekfreedom I don't think it's going too far. LZ did steal songs from people and take 100 percent credit for which the other bands you mentioned did not do.

[GazeOnWaterlooSunset]

Where are they from? He sounds a little liverpudlian in some of it, that's why I ask.

[alcoholichealer]

completely true and cool song rocketing rocks

[AristYdes]

This is the true Andy Warhols Factory music. Its like the history of pop art.

[JLaw1977]

Great song! The singer Kenny was Led Zeppelin's roadie along with Richard Cole on their first North American tour (Dec 68-Feb 69).

[indieboy111]

class mod tune

[scrumpbee]

Mickmitchell,I think Mr Weller and co were largely more responsible for the mod revival than Boney M,but then you never know,makes me chuckle to think about it.

[killcityrebel]

sorry, i accidentally deleted your comments...just wanted to say thank you.

[mickmitchell25]

Sorry if this sounds very uncool but didnt Boney M or somesuch do a cover of this,surely they werent responsible for spearheading the late 70s mod revival.

[ss180jay]

Lol. It made me buy a Vespa and a parka...

[mickmitchell25]

Phil Daniels had nothing on them guys.I AM ONE OF THE FACES!

[warzi1]

one of the greatest beat-songs and one of the greatest beatbands ever +++

[carrosoe]

the lead was john ryan who is still alive today in the origanal band john stays with us in a home and remembers everything he teaches me on the guitar and still has the guitar he played with.

[davetube68]

I feel bad for the lead singer ... he looks like he's having a hard time stuck in that swing with the smoke bomb. Kind of a Spinal Tap moment when that smoke starts spewing in his face.

[PAULLONDEN]

Whell Dave...understandeble comment,but....

Those guys were troopers anyway,they

(just like The Who & The Move)were used

to do "action painting"and smashing their gear up,they were used to a little smoke.

(The Smoke,great band too)

[ronwhycherly]

The lead singer in the Smoke used to be in a local band who were support act to virtually e very band who came to town in 1964, the Stones included. Great singer who was often better than the bans they were supporting. I am the proud owner of  one of the only 75 copies they made as a momento when they split up.

Maybe Mick Rowley reads on here. He is still remembered in these parts. His old lead guitarist was in Robert Palmer's first band, The Mandrakes.

[theodorus45]

I agree with you 100 %

[glfgecko]

All that new bands including Oasis are fuckin' crap, no music like 60ties music

[KENVAIL]

making time is a killer song by the creation, btw.

[howlinblues]

Fuckin Crap this was done by a New Zealand Band called...Larrys Rebels...released 1966 in New Zealand Painter Man and also this version is shit compared to the Kiwi version I still have the old LP 33rpm record of it today 2007.

[Kiwigoldmusic]

Completely agree, Larry's Rebels version of this song absolutely murder's this version by the Creation.

No contest !

[ronwhycherly]

Irrelevant. this was the original. Larrys Rebels was just a cover version.

[stinkboat]

eddie phillips...you are the coolest man!!

great track from a great fucking band. Never got the credit they deserved. If you like this check out making time..it'll blow your head.

[manthorne]

Think Liam Gallagher (Oasis) ripped the singer's look?

[ladymod]

I only dicovered these guys a couple of years ago.

I love their music.

I would have loved to have been around in the 60s.

[gackstacker]

at least jimmy page doesnt rip off Boney M !

wink

[blueleisureman]

Eddie Phillips of Creation wrote Painterman so Boney M ripped off Creation

[brigader4heart]

effin great!,jimmy page ripping someone off?,never!.

i believe him and robert plant are the great imposters as they ripped a bit off everyone!.

[JakeANowhereMan]

Where can I download this from?!!

[antonybbb]

Bob Garner Is a good friend of mine.... I am so sorry he is so ill..... Get well soon Bob.....Tony

[vespamarsden]

Hope he gets well soon

We owe an awful lot to this band

[wiganrugby]

Robert Garner is my second cousin, always knew he had something to do with painter man

[biddowntv]

R.I.P. Kenny, thank you for the music. x

[showmerightnow]

Truly amazing, mega rare, I'm blown away! THANK YOU so much for sharing.

[chrisedelic77]

Woah, I saw Status Quo at the end! Play more of these!

[chrisedelic77]

Painter Man promo? Ummm wow.....

[07779967674]

brill...check out the creation live (1993) at my channel.

[plastic45]

LOVE THE CREATION! MISS YA KEN! R.I.P.

[snouter]

Cool stuff. Correct me if I am wrong, but this seems to be about a year before Jimmy Page started to use a bow.

[sunra67]

right on target. jim page ripped everyone off.

[sixtiessyl]

Amazing!!!!

[LAZARZERO]

Nice!

[ussmontpelier]

Fucking great!
