Visage - Fade to grey 2005

[Archtungmonster]

gray water is no serious issue

[christophezirgle]

YES COOL VISAGE AND WELCOME BIENVENUE DANS YOUTUBE ZIRGLE AND THE WAVES PEACE REVOLUTIONS

[axdy1]

ben moi vais faire faire mon commentaire "in french" malgré qu'a l'époque je n'avais que dix ans, je garde un souvenir de cette chanson intemporelle!!! c'est juste superbe

[1760363]

N'en jetez plus !

Et puis, laissez ses dents tranquilles ! (lol)

Il est vrai que ce n'est pas sa meilleure prestation et que, faute de retour efficace dans ses oreillettes, il chante trop fort et bonjour les canards !

[spacepepe]

aaaaaaaaaa :-( meglio tenere il ricordo degli anni 80

[AlienBeauty1]

is this bOy George? LOL

[Nikolasnegr]

XDDDDDDD

[hqr67sur]

I remember it as Whqt a sensqtion romsponse hit tis song hqd on se fqded times ya

[dhk6]

HAMMER Teil !

Check my Side :Daniel Käser on you tube !

[maltavmalta]

Rightly or wrongly and despite not producing a 'body' of work - Steve Strange has achieved cult and iconic status. I think it's a matter of being the right person in the right place at the right time....

[snurfox]

great music,i must say that the video is not not good ,but the song is great,and to manhenk,dont blame germans,listen to the music

[Hot80s]

Tres Bon Merci

[debeyes]

@manhenk lol at lest they not whoop whoop yet!

[etsumori]

WAH! He sings live!!!

[depondt3]

It lacks power live...but regardless this is a song 30 years later that still remains very very popular...thus it's a cornerstone of modern music...

[Killbride]

Usually live music packs more of a punch...a little more guts would have been nice..love the song, but studio was better..

[spectreduloft]

NEW WAVE Music was a genius period with full of imagination but  not enough long.

[MrMarsari]

Funny how pretty young queers become ugly old queers....

[golemxiii]

WTF ?

[wonderdogsixtynine]

LOL... the synth has no soul? LOL (no, I really am!)

[adrianberrocal]

someone could tell me how I called the girl is with steve

[MrCornelll]

@adrianberrocal , Jensara Swann.

[PyePye7]

Never mind this show (audience's clapping always behind the beat - where's the producer with no ears..?). Steve needed some pocket money and that's legit!

The magic of the original single is in the alchemy which was present when all the right elements came together back in 1980.

[Holret]

Doesnt sound too bad, but then again who are these people?

[jgenbvl]

Why didn't somebody tell him he should not do this. Just because he hasn't the voice he had 25 years ago.... The original sounds great, this is embarrassing.

[xxxdarkheartedboixxx]

i <3 the guy on keyboards :)

[euqsabtnatillim]

MIERDA, SHIT, MERDE, DREK, SKATA,SCHICER,GOONA.....ADD NEXT ONE YOURSELF..

[HoldUrColours]

this is the worst piece of shit i've ever heard.

[Mazi1234567890]

omg the lead singer sounds so bad singing 'live'!

[Hanifem1960]

DAS WAREN ZEITEN 1981 DANKE FÜR DAS VIDEO LIEBER " fritz51176 " HERZLICHEN GRÜßE AUS RAUM NRW....!!!!!!

[puisk26]

das ist eine katastrophe

[1ausbongo]

Shitehausen lol, Fade to Gay lol. Sometimes the comments in you tube are better than the thing im watching.love it lol

[spookyomansions1]

Looks like he's taken make up lessons from Robert Smith and Boy George, love the original but this is just shitehausen. The audience is not the problem here.

[axs007]

diese klatschenden idioten, die ham die musik damals doch eh net gehört, keiner hat je zu visage geklatscht. die klatschen auch bei AC/DC, hells bells oder bei stones , symapthy for the devil. vollspasten, genau wie dieser oliver geissen, auch so nen vollgasidiot

[KillerDreck89]

@axs007 , na und? Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, etc. verdienen erst recht keinen Applaus.

Ich gib zu, Steve Strange hat das Singen inzwischen verlernt. Aber das, was heutzutage gezeigt wird, ist noch schlimmer.

[sclapione]

@axs007 Und Du schreibst komisch

[TWMusicBerlin]

@axs007 jo nervt mich auch, aber meisten bekommen die ne anweisung zu klatschen, war selber mal in so einer show..

[manhenk]

the clapping is really annoying.. must be very old people there.. oh nooo... germans... germans always clap...

[TheWvvd]

@manhenk well cant be any german there i didnt see any beer ...^^

[Yaranthe]

@manhenk no we don´t, it´s just the old an senile ones - much to my regret. -.-

[LanfeustDeGlinin]

@manhenk ... and they invited minimal in the same time.

[NickVelvet]

@manhenk Shut up fool

[DALLASTAPES]

@manhenk ahahah so f** true!

[TheWaynelds]

@manhenk Yes. i hate it when the audience tries to clap along, most of them are way off beat because theyre not musicians who know the correct music timing. Im surprised they dont mess the band up with their severly off beat clapping. Leave the music to the band, who actually know music timing, unlike 50% of the people in the audience.

[candidi07]

@TheWaynelds But there is not the audience who es clapping - it's on the stage!

[himhh]

@manhenk I am German... Unfortunately you're right...

[Boymeama]

2:52,...ese el Snoopy disfrazado de George???

muy bien Steve!!!!

[StarsofSlash]

i love it, o my god, it is amazing song...i ve just heard it on the bbc scotland)

[towtractor]

this man along with many more individual people created a new and beautiful scene, fashion music, a culture of expression as well as the ability to express ones self, i was one of them spending many a night in the best clubs in London Blitz etc. The blitz kids were a revolution in terms of their ability to create such a media storm go for it

[seegeer21]

fade to gay lol

[BuddyFantastic]

Prefer the original 1981 version

[230205]

fade to gay

[Sofie1999]

er kann singen!!!! aber vom seinem Auftreten ist er nicht mein Fall!!!

[DjTommyKx]

i like him singing live... way more soul to it.

[JohanR888]

brilliant song

[govermentufo]

he should play live touring in nb canada . he is the best

[govermentufo]

wath happen to auther girl she is hot

[JustaScotsman]

[govermentufo]

i like it in 1980 how they dress its sow cool

[djbitter1]

One man.

[KillerDreck89]

The blond women is still hot. :D

[tartine00]

putain mais ils sont trop pourris

[cullyvan]

great song, prefect pop, but it hasnt aged well. imho steve should have sang it without looking like a middle aged weirdo. same thing happens to all these bands when they try to update it. just let it be.

[AuroraHardcore]

34 morons that dont understand the core of music and style!

[djrubus]

molto gnocca la bionda

[TiuArTTeK]

oh. my .god , voice! .. same.

hall of fame putted.

Thanks, (i clap with the crow too)

but ?? where is the analog bass sint ?? ;:s:s:s !s!s!s:s:s:s

[mekisenda]

I LOVE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!He's too handsome...

[damonskates]

is there something wrong with him? he seems to almost have...a mental handicap

[togzig]

@damonskates That sir is Steve Strange

[ziemkaulubione]

looks like somebody missed the time to get out the scene in proper moment. great song in such a hopeless performance. 

[bosmanboss]

i saw there Limahl :D

[Shonkyboi]

@bosmanboss aye me too (thought I was seeing things ;)

[CompactJam]

go back to Wembley Steve you nutless whore

[MsFanmail]

FANTASTIC

[djoerd01]

According to the way they clapp their hands to every beat this crowd must be German!

[like me ;-) ]

[farmyardflavours]

Fantastico !! Thank you ! x

[AORCrazy]

This is more electronica than techno will ever be!!

[wimblewomble21]

@MDSCUSTOMS lol. and his dancing skills have held out better aswell. His dancing is like michael jacksons compared to the big red fella dancing next to him

[danny0mcfly]

owh come on! this isnt bad for live performance! y did people expecting it to b like in the recording.. i think he's doing good here..

[GoblinsFriend]

Thanks for posting the lyrics. I remember having no knowledge of French at the time, and asking a friend -- who was supposed to be adept at the language -- to listen to the song and translate for me. He could not, and little did we both know that the French and English verses were the same. It was years later when I became functional in French that I realized our mistake. Have to laugh. My friend was such a smart ass.

[frankominogue]

what a great song!

[MupMupsAnimalActors]

Hey, we all ate a lot of crap in the 80's....but not nearly as much as you do now. So, now you know what you can expect to look like, future fatties and uglies.

[naxxrumers]

für diese shitversion interessiert sich nichtmal die Gema!

[theboombody]

I guess some guys are into makeup.

[wimblewomble21]

is that limahl strutting his stuff at 1:44???

[p4ddythehelipilot]

@wimblewomble21  Yes

[gwenan22]

on dirait un karaoké et pas tellement raccord en plus !!!

[tracolla75]

live terribile!

[kcvous]

It's strange. Middle playback

[1paramed]

Ballls and arse!! Somebody drop a 7.62mm round in his nut. Overproduced in the 80's? How ruddy dare you, you friggin gits. LMAO, the players of the decade 'topped' themselves in the 80's/90's... ahem. Don't you bother 'cos you're shat-tastic. Shame on you for daring to poke your head out of the 80's.

[supermoto31]

The best song of the world,

The first time i heard the song i was 20 years in 19XX.

Merci.

[leroyrs]

I was very disappointed when I saw and heard it on TV. The synthies in that clip sounds horrible. The voices - I don't really like to comment this.

All in all It didn't match the Original Sound in any way.

[kingofkeyboards]

spoiled it with all the digital synths, this song was legendary because of the way it was made suing analog equipment.

[hcvang]

thumb up on this, if you get a kick out of the fat guy in the crowd. goofy bastard lololol

[juancar988]

Is it this video from 2005 ???

Thank you.

[hcvang]

he's doing really well here, moving around on stage, looking cool in his black suit, singing live, after having gone through that drug ridden hell he's been through.. tough going, well done, mate. respect. and to do it so well is even cooler. I dont see the 'bad' that other people are posting about. not at all.

and even though I'm only 28, and the song was released the year I was born, I still feel very nostalgic hearing this and seeing him do it again.

[goombabear]

He does not sound that bad at all, this is live not in the studio. And he is over 50.

[kev10ok]

Quality still!!!!

[DJGahann]

Awesome tune and lots of respect of attempting this live, but it doesn't work for me.

[cprostudio]

ruined, forget the singing, it was the analogue synth that made this song, now its replaced with a virtual analogue, completely soulless

[DIGITALSCREAMS]

@cprostudio just goes to show how absolutely BOLLOX virtual analog sounds.

The lead singer here, cant sing, the makeup looks shit and the synth sounds are fucking crap. Overall this was an embarrasing performance.

I say this even though they are one of my favourite bands and I like the song.

This version.....really FUCKING SUCKED.

[cprostudio]

@DIGITALSCREAMS yeah!!! however we are lucky this song was created in the first place. my life would not be complete without fade to grey!!! its fucking awesome and captures my personality entirely

[Numanoid1963]

@cprostudio i

get what you mean about the analogue synth...

[bigpopfan]

Who is blonde girl singing back vocals?

[123456789jklmn]

I'm hooked on this futuristic song.....love it.

Thanks for sharing

[u43009035]

What do you mean with bad performanse? Steve is singing LIVE not lipsynking.

I don't want him to sound like the record on stadge. Vell done Steve.

[brithael138]

hasselhoff in background!!!!

[Jarren202]

WHY MUST PEOPLE CLAP CONSTANTLY AT SHOWS?

/capslock

[sidewalkpilot]

@Jarren202 ver lerkentoop doopaduck quack oont dahr eakiel unit

[nailscare]

@Jarren202 because they're pricks

[stundo]

@Jarren202 because they are stupid sheeps

[cprostudio]

@Jarren202 because their drones and dont know what else to do lol

[chantal1235]

lol yup leave steve alone ... but its like a car crash we no its gonna work out bad but we must watch .. anyway one of the sexiest tunes ever thanx for share

[Pethy1]

Hey everyone! Could anybody tell me which version this is, please? Been searching for it... but still without any result. Thank you for any help!

[nono08800]

what the fuck nothing compared to the original

[MrsRhythmNation]

Nothing 80s should be re-hashed or become modern, it was good how it was. And... Limahl in the background is it?

[MrsRhythmNation]

Nothing 80s should become modern or be re-hashed, it was good how it was.

[gedq]

He's flat, he's got a support vocal behind him supporting him and supplying the high notes and his own voice isn't a singing voice. C'mon mate, you can get lessons for 20 quid an hour. Treat yourself.

[TalkToTheBody]

I agree with Mattyuk1, bloody awful; seen better pissed up karaoki singers

[charliefarley1000]

Pretty amazing performance considering. Steve sang note perfect. Still a great song!

[11Computerfreak]

Wir Deutschen mit unserem klatschen immer. Das nervt! Ich mach das nicht, da das extrem ... ist

[BoysKeepSwingin2]

I like it, always found Visage one of the best representants of the New Romantics in New Wave. A great song and great Steve is doing it again!

[Daddybopper]

What happened to that cute redhead he had singing in french?

[trichrome73]

great tune time is seldom kind but to this song it has been

[beamerZ]

It's badly mixed; with a little reverb and less mic volume it would've sound a lot better.

[1996beau]

Give Steve a break! At least he's singing live and not lip synching like alot of people!

[xnonsuchx]

@1996beau - Still, it seems he's somewhat apathetic...like he was dragged into doing this...not too willingly.

[hcvang]

@xnonsuchx he's a heroin addict for fucks sake

[BillyBird]

@1996beau There's both vocals on the soundtrack + his live singing

[azynkron]

@1996beau In this case I would actually prefer him doing a play back..

[Calvinathor]

vakan el tema

[dmalexa81]

Really great song but this version sounds bad live...What happened to Visage from the 80s? Not the same...

[rufian562]

@dmalexa81 It's been a while. how are you gonna sound 29 years later? probably gonna look worse than you already do.

[dmalexa81]

@rufian562 Well,it's my opinion of this live version...I think you'll probably look much worse so stop commenting...

[rufian562]

@dmalexa81 Nah, i'm just like you-i'll do what i please. You're obviously gay cause only gay men say comments like that.

[azerty800]

null! i prefer in playback! lol

[TrainmasterCurt]

He looks a lot like Boy George with that makeup, i like his 1981 styles much better

[mistofoles]

Is it just me, or does Steve sound like Nigel Planer??

[wolfgang731]

Warts and all, at least he has the guts to really sing, not like most of the posers nowadays that all they do is lip-synch and to boot dont even do it well. I love Visage and Steve Strange is still awesome 30+ years after he created this persona.

[joeyboylb]

@wolfgang731 warts?

[wolfgang731]

@joeyboylb That's just an expression. It's figurative, not literal.

[allhull]

@wolfgang731 pretentious southern gay prick...absolute wanker! thats why all the best british music ever ... was north of watford.....

[maclachj1]

@asshull ....... north / south divide......zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­zzzzzzz you're a couple of decades late

[BuildBabylon]

@wolfgang731

This boy is beautiful.

[TheGodParticle]

Is steve still gay? because my wife likes him. cheers people

[JAG374]

@TheGodParticle WELL, SURE MY FRIEND, ONCE YOU GO THE BACK WAY, YOU NEVER RETURN...... RIGHT??? HAAHHAHA,......!!!

[Cage66692]

i think, that is funny.... his voice are.... more bad, that 29 yars ago...

[TheSpitfire95]

ich hasse das scheiss geklatsche -,- immer bei solchen live auftritten klatschen die leute

[pruefziffer]

was this recorded in Germany or why is the audience clapping their hands?

[BeeOtchinc]

hehe jep^^

[elevenstar]

I'm german and i'm sorry about this! I guess you're right! It's a evidence for this! Everything for these "special" german audience is Marschmusik and fu..in' clapping hands... (rolls eye)

[GoblinsFriend]

I hate when performer largely became stars because they were fresh-faced pretty try to revive their careers in middle age. If you are going to do this, stop eating and get a face life. Cher had it right.

[Nattlampa1]

OMG! what happend to visage?? :O

[offthelinegt]

Heroin

[Nattlampa1]

yeah to much!

[xupateresa69]

The years went by...

[Naoczny2]

Yes ... the voice is not the same

[joelang6126]

This version is the worst ever!

[maxbarsby]

great song but the singingfrom steve was the best in this vid :/

[Newromantic81]

Napiszę po Polsku , nie chcę łamać angielskiego . Przebój jeden z wielu ale wielki . Takich już nie będzie . Lata 00 nic nie wniosły do tej pory do muzyki i nie wniosą pewnie następne .

[cushcrack]

These guys were way ahead of their time! They would make depeche mode, the cure, or even dead or alive crawl under a rock. Anyway, I always wondered is Visage was from Germany or something! AWESOME song: FADE to GRAY! most definely one of my favorite 80's songs!

[alexa81DM]

DM were better....

[MountLongdon82]

This is the best anti-Heroin vid of all time.

[lucastrinkler]

high on cocaine for sure

[PRESTOTHECAT]

STeve Strange is the ultimate poser. He was perfect in that way.

Almost like the ideal club kid original.

[alisiaRAWWR]

LIMAHL!!! in the background!! :}

[posiview]

wtf. This is so sad. He was a hero in the 80's. OMG Bad news..

[alisiaRAWWR]

In his defence he was a drug addict!

[analogboy3]

I've loved this song since the 80's but this performance was pretty bad.

[vonfantasy]

I actually liked this performance... much decadence and synth

[majormadmax]

Unfortunately, Steve's heroin addiction is what led to his current awful state. I mean, I love this song and Visage; but this is a horrible rendition. Hopefully he will continue to get better and his voice will improve; as it would be great to hear him do this timeless classic over and over again!

[lpv1899]

Well,you have to understand that they are near their 50's and there is a gap of 25 years between the video and today...Time endure...

[svenSZonia]

... :D karaoke version,auf jed'n...

eher eingerostet und nicht warm ge-ahhhht.

vermurkst,wie oma sagen würde,muss ich

doch die cd reinhauen ;)

sry
