Arthur Brown - Fire! (1975)

[NearlyKnight]

Yellow boots forever.

[lughf4]

i liked the bit about the fire

[Terr0rsaur]

HAHA holy crap it just gets better.

[Grendelmonster8u]

This is so weirdly captivating, lol. Love his hat. 

[zerohouraustralia]

You know that's really Tom Jones under that mask.

[BrokenneckYgor]

It's sad that artur brown was hideously deformed in a fire that's why he sings about fire

[Twilightmagi]

Cocaine's a hell of a drug.

[PsychedelicFunkLover]

wow ! once that smoke got sprayed in his face his voice got strong ... i loveeeeeeeeeee this song and have never seen this... thank you !

[mixmastericecreampuf]

@PsychedelicFunkLover what do you mean?

[thetruth1911]

lady ga ga's father?

[ogrebattle22763]

@thetruth1911 LMFAO.... Me thinks so...

[yseneh66]

anyone know where i can see the old mtv closet classic version of this video? it was even in black and white!

[campz0r]

Where's the band?

[Eo4EFB]

lady gaga?

[pch058]

Genesis and Kiss must have seen this vid........

[audiotrax2000]

I love this song, but he looks like the malt shake charecter from Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

[ab9957]

this song gave me the creeps when i heard it as a kid.

[MajinSandman]

this shit is epic hahaha fire hahaha

[klump1953]

GREAT ATHUR BOWN

FIRE IS A GREAT

PETER

[beemerkid1]

[capricorn4003]

@beemerkid1 ha!!! ;)

[mahad1010]

He is CRAZY

[MHLUNA24]

@mahad1010 and we love him for it XD

[conradsdad]

Satan suffers from male pattern baldness. Who knew he's just like the rest of us?

[brooklynhope]

@sepulthrax it was on there as part of the shock rock time line...and shock rock is a piece of metal history...although, this is a piece of turd in the timeline of metal history...this maybe what i dress up as for halloween this year...wonder how bad i will be beaten

[sbgog93]

gotta love the seventies.

[limbotoobobo]

I don't know how I ended up here, but I want to go home.

[JosephPardy1]

This is a shit version of an amazing song. They must've paid him a lot to have that shit guitar playing and stupid backup singers. Turn that organ up and have a freak out for Gods sake.

[McBad48]

@JosephPardy1 back up singers work, its the mix that's bad

[AgentOrange0666]

Hhahahahaha this is fucken Cool !!!

[zelofanoful]

He is on fire^^ I saw him yesterday and he was fucking amazing!!

And singing with Chris Farlowe was very cool!

Both are two true classics!

Greetings from Germay :=)

[darthtortugas]

sounds like tom jones

[darthtortugas]

@darthtortugas kinda like when garth brooks did his chris gaines thing

[lalosalazar9999]

LOL!!! "You've been livin' like a little girl". And that chicken dance, flaming helmet, and Judas Priest wailing -- Good Lord, it doesn't get much better than that.

[Aaroneus76]

Are those wrestling boots he would be awesome on RAW

[sepulthrax]

why was this featured in Metal Evilution on VH1 Classic? Led Zeppelin is way more metal than this!!!!!!

[125jlm]

Is the vocal here live? If so, I give this man credit for being able to sing amid all the "choreography", if that's what you even call what he's doing here. Good job, though. Really weird. Really different. But really good.

[nuszky]

I love when he's jumping around I do that all the time! Fucking bitchin!

[fisheye300]

I danced like this at my prom......I was prom king

[peaceandmetal88]

@fisheye300 lol

[nightmarenet]

The guy wasn't even tripped on Acid, he's just Arthur Brown

[mzmadmike]

Chuck Norris listens to Arthur Brown when he needs motivation.

[Aaroneus76]

Damn these Habaneros are coming out FIRE

[90themann]

he's a dumb ass

[kingdiamond69]

@90themann Learn your history non believer Arthur Brown opened doors for some very influential singers over the years .

[hamlanzon6]

God, that man can dance!

[frostfire451]

Please , somebody help that poor man, can't you see he is on fire. Stop,Drop, and Roll my friend.



[frostfire451]

Is he having a seizure?

[TimeForTimer]

A lot of drugs were harmed in the making of this video...

[thanksforthemessdick]

@TimeForTimer as long as they weren't wasted...the drugs I mean

[eraffel]

Look up "awesome" in the dictionary, and there will be a picture of Arthur Brown.

[ladycplum]

I BEG YOU TO BURN!

[OrchidTigress1]

He should have been on Living Color with Jim Carey!

[liquidfirepunk]

damn these drugs....

[NAPalm2112]

This guy look amazing for being 70, look at this wiki picture.

[touchandgod]

Okay. This dude is the MAN.Like if you put James Brown pipes on Iggy Pop. FUCK YES

[456123emma]

What's on his head?? Looks like he's balancing spoons.

[75amoeba]

ARTHUR BROWN IS A LEGEND AND STILL ROCKS THE PLANET WITH HIS MUSIC.

[jenzeppelin]

looks like a mixing bowl on his head. but he carries it well!

[dbrowdie]

G.R.O.O.O.V.Y !!!!!! Yeah man!

[alligatorwine84]

acid's a hell of a drug

[candilaynebookout]

Two "flaming" thumbs (I mean HORNS) up! Rock on brother!

[BlowWithTheFlow]

Ryze?

[TheJameslehr]

ICYDNK, this was in the top five Billboard pop chart in 1968.  BION!

[schepler2]

I can't believe this guy was still working in 1975.

[Thomkinsson]

Apparently when he performed this on Top of the Pops, wearing the same weird flame hat thing, he burnt the top of his head so badly that he had to rush the final chorus, run off stage, and have his head doused in cold water (off camera, of course).

[GINGERALER]

A soup pot on his head and red satin???

[smittieh]

What else would the God of Hellfire bring whith? Cookies?

[MrMurdoom]

I love watching the fog guy at 1:56

[kik805]

I like this version, but I like ozzy's rendition, and I believe it made a good metal song, it sounds more metal than disco, that is all

[djg4312]

I think this is where Elaine Benes got her dance.

[Dinozzo98]

Only thing I can say is the title of his website:

The Crazy World of Arthur Brown

[TheKategorieZ]

ich mag den mann der Qualm macht ;-)

[devilinajar]

i dont know why, but this scares the shit out of me.

[MrPorsche91730]

His dancing in the chorses is so dam funny!

[TheNevan60]

Didn't he sing on one of Alan Parson's songs?

[eddahoffmann1]

Einfach super .

[NormanLake1]

I saw this crazy cat back in '72, he went on BEFORE Alice Cooper, the headliner that nite. Saugatuck, Mi. Of course ALL the current Michigan bands wer also there, MC5, etc. Arthur Brown was more humourous than good, the drugs helped...

[Chickenlovercamp]

just bought the album... worth getting for sure!

[Anubisbrother]

Pissing myself laughing xD

[515MHz]

rammsteins pyro pppffffttt!!! arthur brown showing how its done.

[blubbandkill]

Darth Vader from the Dumpster!

[MissDroplette]

If you look through youtube you'll see he kept putting out new material through the years. He used to have this website (not sure if he still does) when he was living in i think california about 12 years ago where he was working as a "healer" it was pretty interesting.

by the way, LOVE this version -- thanks for putting it up!!!!

[flibideegibbit]

bald spot @ 1:18 lol

[qthelost]

I used to have dreams like this when I was going through puberty.

[benlorenc]

people don't like smoking weed with me because two seconds after i take my fourth hit, i start singing this song and dancing like this guy.

[flibideegibbit]

@benlorenc -- takes me about 5 B-)

[MrNIO888]

@benlorenc when you got yours and i got mine then yeah i smoke with you!!!

[wantpussyinclub]

@benlorenc i do the same lol i`m doing it how

[dadukevych]

@benlorenc Man, you are saying this like it is something bad.

[kingdiamond69]

@benlorenc Sounds like me and you would get along very nice .

[noeljdun12]

@benlorenc That's pretty odd.

[rockinronniekay]

@benlorenc GOTTA PARTY WIT YOU LMAO

[alchemistoxford]

What a voice!! Arthur Brown is incredibly talented. What stopped him from making it in films or Las Vegas?

[Nonofyourdamnbusinez]

HILLLLAAAARRRRIIIIIOOOOUUUUSSS­!!!!!!!!!

[FunnyVideoCollector]

this guy mixed coka cola with pepsi.

[MisterSpep]

I am the god of hellfire! And I bring you... CORN!

[kingjojothegreat]

[initium71]

[eneru234]

[Solarchos]

Beavis - "Fire! FIRE! FIIRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEE!!!!"

[MARCOCIENI]

[HTMomentum]

Wow holy shit DDR HERO!

[HTMomentum]

[Killthepoor79]

Wow this is almost as awesome as the paedofinder generals cover.

[sakis3warnings]

what an awesome psycho!

[TheScorpion667]

Come on!!! Who else is going to see Alice Cooper then???? I'm seeing him in Birmingham tonight, and i am SO looking forward to seeing this lunatic bouncing around on stage hahaha!! What an entertaining guy

[zbestwun2001]

@TheScorpion667 I think Orianthi, the blond female monster on the guitar is touring with him .. .Was she there?

[TheScorpion667]

@zbestwun2001 Yeah she was there and she's as you said, a monster on guitar! It's a nice fresh experience to see such a great female guitarist!

[vixfix3]

Physcowitz

[Laracat36]

I wish I could dance like that....

[Nagneto]

Marylin Manson's got nothing on this guy. LOL

[squishy3000]

I read in an interview that his flaming horns were held on by one tiny screw, that got incredibly hot during the performance and scorched a bald spot!

[Jungl3J4ck]

Tut people like this are the reason acids illegal. Haha awesome though

[purleypk]

@Jungl3J4ck so u think it was acid that caused this dance? i think i might need to get me some!

[WoodRatGirl]

Someone should make a Sauron (from Peter Jackson's Lord of The Rings films specifically) fan vid, featuring this song! It would be great lol.

[ProgramQ]

Its the electricuted chicken, the best dance ever!!

[ProgramQ]

OMG there's a crazy person on the stage!!!!

[CapeRayer23]

This guy must be related to Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull. He moves like him.

[LiteracyLabyrinth2]

He has a spear and magic helmet...

[HEARTHEANGELSVOICES]

WHO EVER SAID - - - WHITE PEOPLE CAN'T DANCE?

[jaevr]

He's the PROOF white people can't dance !!! ;-)))

[ProgramQ]

The best dancer ever!!!!

[sotoxful]

I want to see a cover by Judas Priest

[dudster9867]

@sotoxful or king diamond :D

[aK1baby]

32 people burn!



[sydheresy]

I like the tech with the fog machine in CLEAR VISIBLE SITE OF EVERYONE. Haven't drape-lines been invented yet?

[ClanProduction]

00:53-00:57 chicken dance!!!!

[74associates]

i love that he removes his hellfire helmet

[74associates]

i love that he removes his hellfire helmet

[74associates]

i love that he removes his hellfire helmet

[StoneColdKrishna]

HIS DANCING IS SO DAMN MAJESTIC! D:

[a1957musicman]

Fallen far too far behind, not "colon farts"..

[Frightline777]

@1:27 if you repeat it enough ,it sounds life he is saying "colon fart"!!

[HEARTHEANGELSVOICES]

@Frightline777 - IT SOUNDS "LIFE" HE'S SAYING "COLON FART". WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSE TO MEAN?

[WCRockMetalGuitar]

I'm hoping the close up camera was paid bonus for that day. Must have been a bitch keeping up with Brown.

[kdj997]

@DVCESL72 He's actually one of the most talented alive. I found it sad because it wasn't recognized, he was reduced to singing his biggest hit with a pepped up disco arrangement, that's sad. The kingdom come albums are pure musical triumphs. Come and buy from the same album fire is on is one of the best songs of that era.

[steelyman40]

Satin moo-moo, gold lame boots and the shiny silver mask are great, but what makes it EPIC is the way he gingerly put down his flaming helm and then fucking FREAKED OUT! Amazing. I laugh continuously when I watch this. Thank you, Arthur. THANK YOU!

[JoeCoolRoxYou]

this is some freaky stuff I use to watch the other version on Closet Classics on MTV when they played music videos. Peace out...

[sadplateofbacon]

I really wanna hate this song, but I can't.

[Diceproductions2010]

he reminds of a jesus statue in a church gathering and removing sins from peoples till hes the devil tyhe god of hell fire not able to take any more sins

[Aeschlimann1]

Probably fucks like he dances. Poor woman.

[rodrigodelprat]

His mind > your mind.

[hybben]

And people says that drugs are bad..... pfffs!

[gaspainsify]

@hybben Acid; it's a hell of a drug! XD

[hybben]

@gaspainsify yeah... and Arthur Brown is one of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die. :D

[CrazyKraut20]

@hybben all that needs to be said about your claim is this (youtubecom/)watch?v=R4uM4gd_D­B8

[CrazyKraut20]

btw the whole act is here watch?v=OBbHfI8jfmg&feature=fv­st

[alexabstract1]

[copnite12342]

[HEARTHEANGELSVOICES]
