Christian Death - Romeo's Distress

[Shallowhearted]

Strangely,the video and the music fit so much!

[Qayzar]

It belongs to the Gothic category and not the black metal, etc as Rozz (RIP) is basing his lyrics on the bible. Aside Gothic fashion is more closely aligned to Christianity and not paganism or satanism, but is more the - You will worship God or get a morning star to the face. Still, I expect a lot of people will disagree with me, even if I be right :)

padri indiscussi del gotico...christian death (rozz  williams)

[RozzDarkly]

i wish i had this version. its the first one i heard.

[golgatha69]

@RozzDarkly buy it on amazon it's called "demo version"

[TheAmbitiousOutsider]

back to my roots :-)

[smashbeans]

i saw the LIVE!!!!!!!!!!!

[AnalOrgy]

I wish the world were in black and white

[GothChilde6969]

this song IS the shit BUT Rozz's voice always makes me go into uncontrollable hysterics.

[Dunkelheit420]

This song is awesome! My hubby and I used to have this CD and when we put it on his Technics stereo in the living room and hit "Super Bass" setting, it would vibrate the pictures on the wall and the pics on the neighbors' walls!

[alxsoad]

I like more the album version

Scenes from D. W. Griffith's "Orphans of the Storm"

[27yucca]

you sure were nice to answer about where the footage is from. since i clearly already identified it i didn't feel the need... LOL

[AmiAme95]

Sometimes, this song makes me cry... Romeo's distress forever!!!

But... i prefer the demo.

[Dunkelheit420]

When my hubby and I had this CD (I believe it was The Best of Christian Death featuring Rozz Williams), we would crank this song on our Pioneer stereo system and it would totally piss off the neighbors because of all the bass! :D

[djtigerbunny]

He only sounds young.

I wonder what this footage is from...

[psytari]

Yes, my infidels.. this IS Rozz.

[cardigansarecool]

Maybe it is Rozz, but listen to "Dogs" from the same e.p., they sound completely different.

[soberdrive12]

tears, fucking tears

[TyeDyeGuyRy]

This is Rozz... Play the OTOP right as you play this one pausing each for a few sec then listening.  It's Rozz man...

[27yucca]

If I remember right it's a 1981 demo version from the cleopatra release "the best of christian death featuring rozz williams." I don't have the Deathwish version.

[TyeDyeGuyRy]

Thanks man. I was sure this was Rozz.

[TyeDyeGuyRy]

Dude... It's Rozz.  It's obviously Rozz....

[cardigansarecool]

Why on the Only Theatre of Pain album do the vocals sound much much better?

[TyeDyeGuyRy]

The vocals are fine. If you can't tell the recording equipment was bad then I don't know what to tell you. It sounds like the settings were messed up when it was recorded, but it is Rozz.

[JohnnySwitchblade]

The vocals on this track are great, what are you talking about? I haven't heard a version of Romeo's Distress with Rozz on vocals that I didn't like. This is the version from "The Iron Mask", and I think this must have been a few years (after?) OTOP, or perhaps before? I actually am quite liking this cut, he sounds really youthful and spry.

[thecorpseofmidge]

not my favorite recording of this song, the video attacted to it is sweet. but i love this song regaurdless

[thevikingpower08]

rozz live forever

[Qayzar]

Such a good video to an excellent song! I totally commend this.

[Gyowaro]

I love this song. So. Much.

RIP Rozz.

The movie looks interesting too, I'm gonna check it out.

[XxDarkXScorpionxX]

this song is the demo o.o of rome distress

[JohnnySwitchblade]

No, it's from "The Iron Mask", it's a remake version.

[CultureShockxox]

this one is one of my favorites!

[StormtroopersInDrag]

FANTASTIC!  WELL DONE!

[TyeDyeGuyRy]

I have a new idea for the genre. Let's call it the happy rainbow christian love of puppies.  Throw people off with that one.

[se7en154]

can we kill puppies?

[00000thatoneguy00000]

no that'd take too much work.

[jhonwanegasey]

ok but u have to eat what u kill

[enriquedrag]

nice version, i loved it

[MasterBlade4]

R.I.P rozz

[tjlife123]

i saw them live december 1 of 1989 it was magical i kiss his hand

[PliSsK]

I think I saw them on the same tour, in Hammersmith. All new material, didn't know any of it at the time. This is probably my favourite song by Christian Death, more than Cavity. Interesting video. It's not goth lol, it's post-punk. There never was a 'goth scene' amongst the bands, it was just a fans thing, associating bands together that had nothing in common at all. Shame about the quality of the audio on this vid though. :-(

[midnightaria]

how about calling it black glam rock instead of goth....LOL

[27yucca]

i'm old school on it. i call it either punk rock or death rock.

[midnightaria]

Agreed!

[Shallowhearted]

@27yucca Actually, it's HorrorPunk or DeathRock.

[HanoverFist247]

@midnightaria Because it was Goth. Do your homework.

[midnightaria]

@HanoverFist247 I knowwwwww 2 years ago I was making fun of all the labeling arguments under the video guess you couldn't tell.... I used to dance to this at goth clubs... and I still love this song :)

[midnightaria]

@HanoverFist247 i hope we can agree that this form of christian death is better then the valor stuff after rozz died....

[HanoverFist247]

@midnightaria Yeah, although some albums i didn't care for.

[midnightaria]

@HanoverFist247 yea I totally understand... Only Theatre of Pain - 1982, Catastrophe Ballet - 1984

and Ashes - 1985 are the only ones I really cared for and own (;

[TyeDyeGuyRy]

Haha, everywhere this song gets uploaded you see people jerking off to the meaning of goth.

Get over it.

[Enterthedeath]

I thought they did that to Bauhaus?

[CultureShockxox]

you are now an internet an hero

[Eterniyawaits]

love this song!!

[wecoloron]

hahah good thing you didn't use 'Birth of a Nation' instead

[CultureShockxox]

Beautiful!

[ArmedHogs]

Honestly there is no old school goth. There is no new goth. simple. :)

[Bubblex16]

old school goth still so great !! even if the sound is shity :S

[lizza072093]

there is no NEW goth...

this has been and always will be GOTH
