Marianne Faithfull "Broken English" 2007

[ziggyuno1]

i love her ,now shes bigger than my house,,

[sevenfingers2001]

I was on a NATO cruise when I first heard Marianne Faithfull back in '79 or '80. Yeah, your country was being defended by a shitload of stoners while a peanut picker was in the White House.

We would obliterate countries if we had to and get high while we did it.

All in a day's work.

We rolled to Warren Zevon, went on "drug recon", kicked ass, and took names in every country you can name.

Good times!

Great vid - I love the dress and the version of the song -- She sings a song about how after a cetain age all artists sing about failer -- Im hearing that today.

[Pukkie11000]

It is time to stop "singing" now Marianne....

[tartansmitty]

She is amazing at any age!!!!!!

[turbogrammy]

love her. thanks.

[3008daniel]

This was an incredible concert,In Amager Bio in CPH.

She was gorgeous and in constant comunication with the audience.

Her voice gets better and better as the years go bye.

Morkygorky thanks for posting.

Bullshit!

Marianne never supported Bader-Meinhof.

So, now fuckoff junior!

Read a book!

[52osama]

I didn't say Marianne Faithfull supported Ulrike Meinhof, she just sings about her.(according to Wikipedia)

[ichbinderfrosch]

@frufitta: Marianne herself said in an interview, that Ulrike Meinhof absolutely inspired her to this song.

[hpribot]

Well, the song sounds different from the record and here she looks like my aunt.

[pseudonym1964]

hpribot: She liiks like your aunt because she is probably your aunt's age, IDIOT. Still, she may be 'old', but she is millions of years more interessing then you. Asshole.

[morkygorky]

It was recorded 20 odd years ago, and here it's live...you want it to sound the same? Go listen to your record....and treasure your aunt while you have her! Marianne's a great artist, but she may not give you what YOU want.

@morkygorky

dont juge

do yiy have a better solution?

[JackFrostDI]

U r bunch of fucking assholes!!! Marianne rocks!

[c12mna]

Aren't you ashamed to post a vid with such a fucking sound ?

[morkygorky]

Aren't you ashamed making rude comments?

[c12mna]

Aabsolutely not !! This woman deserve the best quality, even on youtube.

[morkygorky]

You are right, somehow I think walking in with a steadycam on my shoulders I might be turned away at the door... these clips are just momentos to remember a great evening by....so chill :-D

[joewoo127]

you couldn't pay me to listen to that shit

[offymidget]

I love her music but I have never seen a more stiff perfomer. Debbie Harry moved better.

[strawberrygirrl]

This lady is phenomenal hope I look as good as her at 62 and all the shit she's been through.

[happyhead64]

BRILLIANT! This woman is brilliant!!!

[stsgoodchild]

Bloody terrible. Pub act.Where is the whole band!

I only ever liked this track for the instrumental behind mariannes voice

The guitarist has destroyed the track cause of his solo.Plus where is the power of the drums and echo guitar and synthisizers you have on the album.The album version is a masterpiece and I can even put up with mariannes vocals on it.

[worldtheatre]

Pub Act? Ok now this tour was a semi-acoustic gig, as Marianne has termed it. We're looking at more stripped down versions of her songs that really "rock" with the emphasis on the vocals. Also, the synthesizers on the 1979album, much as I love the original, are dated, perhaps a bit over-produced and not meant to be replicated in modern performance.

For better quality, check out the June, '07 NYC shot of this song on YouTube. Professionally shot representation.

[BetteDillinger]

This lyrics are as timely as when the album came out.  She certainly is not drunk. It is just at a lower tempo, for interested people to understand the fire in the words. I wish we could have seen the whole song.

[Bessyanne]

puffed face,

does not know how to drink her mineral water

drunf imo

[olafsuzan]

Thx Marianne 4 this song.

[lowgrau]

It all still works.

What are we fighting FOR?

[Bacall]

love marianne!

[wmeu]

She's fantastic :)

Thank you for the clip!
