Racey - Boy Oh Boy 1997

[OlleNudel1]

Der Typ lebt doch auch nur von vergangenem Ruhm und stachelt seine Fans auf, gegen die zweite Band mit Beleidigungen und obszönen Äußerungen zu wettern.

Er behauptet ja, er sei der einzig wahre.

Die Leute die hier oft so lästern, sollten sich mal mit der Bandgeschichte auseinander setzen.

Der Mensch ist ganz schön hinterlistig und das macht ihn in meinen Augen total unsympathisch. Guckt euch mal die Beleidigungen von seinen Fans gegen andere an... Hammerhart

@OlleNudel1 He doesn't ask anyone to leave any sort of comments we do it because we are loyal fans.You say he is living off the past that doesn't make him a bad person,if it does then there are loads more bands who are guilty of that.

@theawakener7 ....??????????

[JennaMichelle78]

Richard's voice is still exactly as it was in the 70/80's I have just been to see him and the place rocked he is truly brilliant!!

They just used a backing track to save time between acts it was a big show with loads of groups

[pauljoeyscotttarquin]

absolutely love Racey to death,but there is no way in the world that this was done live! that is the the original version playing behind them without a doubt in the world!!

[hooplemott]

If you scroll down to the comments and dont see the video, its like turnin back the clock.... voice has not aged at all!

[54spiritedwill54]

I remember taping this back in '97...

[sokrowische]

One of the best bands of the last century!

[Cheekieboy8]

Its Steve McClaren on vocals

[mallamoozoo]

were they poofs?

[Weareracey]

What a stupid thing to put...none of them are but does it really matter I thought it was meant to be about the music!!!!

[mallamoozoo]

yeah ok sorry - just that as a heavy metal fan this does look particularly gay.

But yeah actually catchy tunes - and i suppose it was a different era. (Actually they come across as 50's not late 70's - what's the deal there? Were they retro even in '79?)

[fatpizzaman]

AFAIK all of Racey are straight. They actually did a lot of 50's-60's covers in their repertoire, the biggest being one of "Runaround Sue". Also as a metal fan, it might amuse you to know that they were also produced by the same songwriting team that launched some of the heavier glam rock acts of the 70's like Sweet and Suzi Quatro.

[Magicttmt]

"Looks particularly gay"! In what way exactly? ...... Clean short hair, clean clothes, clean shaven..... theres a theme running here, not exactly like you leather clad, hairy rockers but hey, none of you are gay hey?

[nerdflanders8710]

@Magicttmt gay as in absence of anything real and down to earth. anything dirty .(on the surface anyway.you better believe touching the human sewer pipe is dirty.)

gay.

nevertheless good music.

@nerdflanders8710 homa phobic twat

[nerdflanders8710]

[ingridtjuh]

schitterend jeugd sentiment!!

[kinglotinga]

you was the camera man or what i love that show my father recorded it you now on tape and when im alone i fire up the tv max power on the speakers great song

[Weareracey]

Live show,loads of groups and a large crowd,no time for changing over equipment,much easier for ALL the groups to lip synch to the original single...and it's so stupid to ask if he doesn't sing live now!!!!!

[Weareracey]

I remember taping this back in '97... Richard is still very much around proving he has still got what it takes.
