Television - Friction

[gaberyan]

SMO



[ChanceC5]

They were before there time. I swear Television and The New York Dolls. Two bands you can lean on.

[AlNaafiysh]

lloyd's solo - fervent

[AlNaafiysh]

I listened to this record throughout the 80's.

[AlNaafiysh]

The whole record is THE best album ever made. This one is totally spaced out. The guitar solo - probably the weirdest thing I have ever heard. The lyrics are great, throughout the whole record. I have spent a lot of nights in my life, drinking loads of wine trying to understand the meaning of them, haha.

[AlNaafiysh]

@Bobjb999 That's aGREAT quote. I actually find that really sweet.

[Okuda]

@MrSKINFLICK Just to elucidate a fact about Richard Lloyd: "... in his middle teens he met a scrawny black kid from Brooklyn named Velvert Turner who knew Jimi Hendrix. Jimi considered Velvert his "little brother", and took him on as his protégé... teaching him guitar from Jimi's apartment on W12thSt. As Velvert and Richard Lloyd were best friends, Velvert asked for permission to teach Lloyd ... and so Lloyd and Velvert began practicing together under the teaching auspice of Hendrix" Cool Pupil

[MrSKINFLICK]

2:39 and 3:50 - i wonder what Hendrix would have said to this....

Marquee Moon is clearly underproduced though, in my opinion !

[TheEmilylander]

Not worthy ! - where are you guys ?

[MadHighway]

I always wondered why the guy 2nd from right was doing the John Fogerty look, and then you hear the guitar in the left channel.

[offisk]

In my mind the band looks like Greek Kouros statues. Fantastic record!

[AlNaafiysh]

@offisk Yeah - and not like "zombies" as someone wrote here... exactly they look like kouros on drugs. So intense, look at Verlaine, and Richard L staring. Brilliant.

[Megajosh2]

Makes me think of the 13th Floor Elevators.

[megafaded69]

@Megajosh2 Nice, I've never made that connection, but this should have been a new era of psychedelic!

[TheEnchantingWizard1]

@Megajosh2 I can see the resemblance to the guitar solo in You're Gonna Miss Me here.

[larconeptic1]

Ventriloquists ARE sinister and deserving of our mistrust and/or contempt

[CTyankee4277]

"I don't wanna grow up - there's too much contradiciton."

I second that emotion!

[probrojeffro]

Tension in the lyrics, vocals, guitars, bass and drums. I love this mus . . . .. ic . . . CA!

[rjbride]

What a fucking track.I love the guitar at the squeeze his head into my fist bit.

[bruce369able]

I've loved tis band from day 1 1977 still have my original copy MINT well kept in great shape! I think the original shrink wrap is still on it ---- they should have gotte more recognition!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lyonslaforet]

One of my favorite albums from the seventies. Enough said.

[depechemodevilla]

Great guitar work

[TheDeltaBluesAlarm]

Questa traccia è una figata!! Poi va beh...l'album è troppo bello!!

[LeNSNy]

I love that @Georgecraigono always makes me find new good music. He tup!

[MultiDannyboy89]

Great music here!!!

[eliotness4]

the guitar work on Marquee Moon is as good as any album out there

[davidheadon]

thanks for posting this stuff-

I gave my copy to a pal in Toronto for safekeeping- 12 years ago!

[sectorsevengee]

Phenomenal guitars aside, the drums rule. God bless Billy Ficca!

[ogloccness]

People always complain of my dick

Friction - Television [New York] - 1977 - "Guitar HOOKS. Catchy punk vocals. Good first impression." - Marquee Moon [Bonus Tracks] (Rhino)-2003. NOTE: Another band used their guitar riffs on youtube: The Stems-Leave you way behind

[MrMalarky1]

F-R-I-C-T-I-O-N

[TheSienna29]

I have a thing for guitar players and these two could take me anytime. Hot hot hot!

[AlNaafiysh]

@TheSienna29 I'm a guy and I'd do them both hahaha. God were they good looking or what.

[dvargashell]

i fucked tom verlaines unkle

[mattitolchok]

@dvargashell haha claim to fame

[JimmyFungus]

So many awesome bands that don't get their fair share of media attention... This is completely awesome, but have not heard of them before youtube.

[neve1073]

Lloyd burns, but please don't forget Verlaine's playing! It's all over this, and it's stunning. They are both playing on this, as they do on all TV tracks

[AlNaafiysh]

@neve1073 I prefer Lloyd as a guitarist but then, on the other hand, this is my favourite guitar solo on the record and it's by Verlaine... It sounds like an electric snake, fantastic

[neve1073]

Lloyd burns, but please don't forget Verlaine's playing! It's all over this, and it's stunning

[hgordonf]

[Paulocurtisjoy]

"you complain of my DICKtion"

[maclennan73]

The more I listen the more I hear, few records are complete perfection, this is one of the few, a progressive record in the absolute best possible way.

[GoldAralkBiS]

GRANDIIII!

[jessmarshall10]

one of my all-time favorite guitar solos!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Thiago1950]

I knew must be some big set up

[teisenmenger]

Quite possibly my favorite guitar solo - Richard Lloyd absolutely BURNS on this one!

[EMPower08]

@teisenmenger i think it's tom verlaine... seems like his style... either way it's great!

[EMPower08]

@teisenmenger i think this is tom verlaine... but it still rules!

[CrazyDan1984]

@teisenmenger yea dude im not positive but i think thats Tom Verlaine

[terrapin1979]

epic

[curtisrunstedler]

The band looks like zombies...but damn, they can play great music

[AlNaafiysh]
