The Meteors - Rockabilly Psychosis

[thevoodoo57]

Shame their stage presence isn't what it used to be.They done their bit, and look what they created, i am thankful for small mercies,

[nibelunga19]

one of the few best bands of its kind!:)

[DarkNeonAngel13]

I like them but there are newer bands that are better and the origins of psychobilly are still up to debate.

Good song.....

[detonate56]

this gets my 54yo foot a tappin'. 

[SoldatSolutrea]

These guys are great, but where's the upright bass? 

[KINGKURT14]

@SoldatSolutrea they replaced the sl bass early inthe 80ies. The original version from Meteors was with slap bass. don t know actually the name of the former group member...

[totalchaos123456]

OTMAPP

[baronvoncuda]

It would be cooler if Nigel Lewis was still on upright bass. Original Meteors rock

[DavidGaldis]

Keep on rocking!

[louiedovey]

Crap performers aren't they?

[brian9999]

Totally crap audience. I saw this lot in the 80's supporting Killing Joke and they were awesome. How you can sit still to this is a mystery.

[someblokecalleddave1]

@brian9999 Brian do you reckon - you lot (The Wreckin Crew) if you were one of them were the originators of Moshing/Wrecking dance - I'd never witnessed anything like it before and the only time I'd ever heard of it was at Meteors gigs?

[brian9999]

@someblokecalleddave1

Hi Dave. When I saw them (yonks ago) they had a "slap bass" player in the band. It was pre "moshing/wreckin" Awesome band though.

[wmereslag]

haha takes me back to the time i came home with a massive quiffed horseshoe and my mum said i'd ruined christmas for everyone hahaha

[psycho666rebel]

bullshit. the Meteors if anything did great w/o nigel, not saying hes bad cause hes not. but your all mad if you think they went down hill after he left. you should really listen to their records again if u havnt already

[TheCatCollecter]

It's all preference isn't it? I like wreckin' crew but after that I lose interest but there are odd new songs I like by them : P

[eenmiermetpitt]

helll this is so good!! kick ass!

[LexxLugor]

Only

The

Meteors

Are

Pure

Psychobilly

[crunchnuk23]

@LexxLugor Batmobile is legit psychobilly. but meteors are the kings

[RossM3838]

@LexxLugor check out the reverend Horton Heat. Take them and the meteors and you have double the music and fun.

[koolflattop666]

im looking for their version of "these boots are made for walking" but cant find it wtf

[4444mrjones]

off the in heaven album,maniac rockers from hell.north wales wreckin crew.

[modjniki]

Only the meteors with nigel lewis is pure psychobilly...

[artstuX]

@modjniki

Yeah, the Lewis/ Fenech partnership really added a special dimension to the music.

It's just a pity that Fenech seems unable to work with anybody for longer than 3 weeks!

[WorlddestroyGuy]

i liek them more with e bass

[gnowave]

what the fek is going on here!!

for a guy who proved what a fekin ACE rockabilly guitarist and singer he was in ealry 80s, this is just shite, lets be honest here...

a i dont do this taking sides shit, but really, since the departure of nigel lewis, this band ceased to do anything worthwhile!

wot a bloody shame!

more to the point, shame on you fenech for taking the piss THIS effin badly

[bestbass42]

Well said mate,couldnt agree with you more!!! Nigels songs were fuckin ACE!!! I Used to follow The M3t3ors with my firm all over London from 1981-83.When Nigel left they went down hill, they kept useing daft recycled lyrics with pathetic kids cartoon imagerary! Meanwhile Nigel formed the brilliant ESCALATORS and later TALL BOYS.If you want to hear propper Psychobilly check out NIGEL LEWIS AND THE ZORCHMEN. The M3t3ors died in 1982,long live NIGEL LEWIS,the TRUE Psychobilly king!!!

[Menace1979]

Sicko!

Love this band

Cheers!

[IAINoodle]

so not only are you a parody of the living

you're a geographical and sociological expert too!

damn, always one step ahead of me aren't you

[amenabdula]

What?

[theCrazed69]

This was the best Time of the Meteors - fast thuggish, and loud.

Just aggressively-paranoid psychopathy

[TheKassetband]

AWESOME!

[deadmanssss]

BronislawMalinowski (3 weeks ago) > mate your a wanker :o) If you didnt experiance these guys in the 80's with 7000 other Lambretta and Vespa riders slamming in the fields on rallys , all over uk >>>>you dunno what your spunking outa ya mouth.

The Kings of Psychobilly

[livingdead1968]

with this song I have something to say

Only

The

Meteors

Are

Pure

Psychobilly

HELL YEAH!!

[ARQUEOROCKER]

Vaya publico más apalancaooo

[trunksbrief1]

super old song!

originally from their In Heaven cassette lol

[123HW123]

Bad Crowd Niceee Quiff =D

[tjudd12]

the crowd sucked monkey poop? :( or what....

[pendodecahedron]

thought psychobilly crowds were supposed to be lively

[clocker77]

Nah, they just stand around and act cool.

[ibuprofen303]

Bronislaw - try the album version of this, you'll see what I mean - it's much more what I would call "Punk" Rockabilly. Another example might be "Blast Off" by Stray Cats - although I doubt the "psychobillies" would agree......

[ibuprofen303]

Bronislaw wrote

"And what the fuck is psychobilly. A cretinuos mix of punk and rockabilly with neither the guts of the former or the talent of the latter."

Sadly I kind of agree - to me "psychobilly" is Rockabilly with a punk edge in other words hard fast rockabilly - I think the psycho's concentrate too much on the "psycho" and not enough on the "billy" to be honest thereby ending up with a bit of a mess.

[BronislawMalinowski]

Yeah, I see what you're saying. I do like a lot of punk and I don't object to mixing styles (i.e. I'm not a strict purist), but this one doesn't do it for me. That's my view. I respect the views of others when they differ from mine, but there are some out there who express their disgreements none too respectfully, and if they do, I'm not going to hold back on them.

[bestbass42]

CRAP!!! Even Fenech has to do a cover of a Nigel Lewis track! If only Nigel was the one who got to keep The M3t3ors name....

[BronislawMalinowski]

Sorry but I have to say that in my honest opinion this is a real pile of shit, and I love rockabilly.

[motorvating]

Well listen to Rockabilly then, you twat. This is Psychobilly.

Don't you just hate dumb fucks

[BronislawMalinowski]

Well whatever it is, it's still a pile of shit. And what the fuck is psychobilly. A cretinuos mix of punk and rockabilly with neither the guts of the former or the talent of the latter. Or yeah, and some juvenile posturing about being ooh so psychotic. I assume you must be still at school, so you're excused for indulging this drivel.

[motorvating]

What can I say to a statement like that?

Rockabilly has much the same reaction throughout the world, so very surprised to hear your reaction, however looking at your name i would guess you are some commie twat, so fuck off back to your little world of hate.

i wish I was still at school, alas those years are far behind me, however I was part of the generation that was at the forefront of Psychobilly.

[BronislawMalinowski]

And you haven't moved on, you fucking moron. If you want to stay in your pathetic past, stay there for yet another thirty years. That's fine by me. I offered my opinion on this piece of music. I'm was never particularly interested in getting into a shouting match with a defensively sensitive halfwit. It was you who started the personal insults, not me. Let's quit right now before your blood pressure gets too high.

[motorvating]

And your love of Rockabilly means you have moved on you commie twat.  You posted shit, so be prepared to take shit back.

Go back to talking to plants you prick, you know fuck all about music.

[BronislawMalinowski]

Don't I? I used to press up several of the old rockabilly reissue 45s that groups like Raw Deal (as The Meteors used to be) used to cover. My collection of rock and roll 45s alone runs into 1,000s. I'm damned sure I know a lot more than you do. And not just about 50s music. I do have time for modern groups reinventing rock and roll and I also like lots of other kinds of more modern music, but I'm sorry, I don't see anything in this lot. And what the fuck are you talking about with the plants?

[motorvating]

You know loads about music but had not heard about Psychobilly, DUUURRRRR dumb fuck.

[BronislawMalinowski]

'dumb fuck'? Obviously you want to be American. Not that there's anything wrong with Americans, but you so obviously want to be one. Why don't you use the language you grew up with, instead of 'wannabe' fake American English.

[motorvating]

You dozy twat, what the hell are you ranting on about now? I am english, so am using the language I grew up with. Any other language based on English comes from england you twat.

[BronislawMalinowski]

You didn't grow up with American English, did you? 'Dumb fuck' is what Americans say, not British people (unless they want to sound American). When did you last hear anyone in Britain call someone a 'dumb fuck'. It's just your pretentious affectation, isn't it. I reckon you think it sounds cool, don't you. Have to say it's a bit sad.

[motorvating]

You really are a dozy twat. Both words are English, and the term has been used in this country for long as I can remember. Fuck is a Saxon word that has been in use for over 1500 years, and dumb which Anglo Saxon has been in use even longer, so to use the same words together to insult somebody is a natural progression, which happened at least a thousand years before the USA was born you dumb fuck.

[BronislawMalinowski]

Yeah, yeah. Wanabee American, aren't you?

[motorvating]

You have been found out to be a dumb fucking plant anorak.

[motorvating]

You really are a twat. Why do you keep ranting about things you know fuck all about.

[bounden]

ye ure right

[ibuprofen303]

What 84211805 says about the dead crowd - personally i don't care so much for the way they're playing this. Ths studio version of this song is one of my fav psychobilly tunes but here i think they've lost the rockabilly edge to it and it's just thrashing it out really - I think they're overdoing it slightly and it's a bit rough. Perhaps the crowd would liven up if it"swung" a bit more - rockabilly style like the recorded version?

Sorry, just being honest.....

[gosickone1]

one of my favourites

[maxiemark]

Good old days,thanx 4 that,Hello 2 the old west London psychos must be in ya 40s what happen 2 the years....

[stormscreen]

I'm pretty sure this was from a Glasgow venue called Rooftops in Sauchiehall Street.

[nogingerfool]

I dont think so the Gasgow gigs were always full on ,Live 1 was recorded their in 83 and that was insane

[fattyjackson]

It was at The Hummingbird in Birmingham when they headlined the night of the long knives alldayer!!! We travelled down from Newcastle

[thebuzzkillbitch]

awesome song...full of rocka rocka rocka rocka rockabilly energy!!

[LySTER138]

Rocka, Rocka, Rocka, Rocka, Rockabilly Psychosis!

[84211805]

I dunno the gig, but the audience look like they are dead! A really great band live, but these fuckers watching are like 1 o'clock half struck.

[Zorbaron]

Is that Ron Jeremy on the sound desk?

[jefffkinmead]

good fucking band,i saw them in the eighties, really fucking good live,their followers were mental and they fucking loved the meteors, the dancing!? was dead lively .. i can tell ya. Me.I stood out the way. BUT they were good, the singer oozed attitude, was good on the guitar , worked fucking hard and proper looked the part. He knew how to get the punters going too, not that they needed any encouragemet. long live the meteors ! ... and if you dont like them .... you know what to do .

[macaly1]

Anybody know where this gig is from?

[djsundancekid]

Yeah that's how i like it.Straight from the sweaty hell.

[devoelaine1]

fenechs a cheeky fucker,but i love him.

[jfontaine69]

i love tht little riff at the beginning

[otmapp666]

yeah it's wonderful!

[HeatedRebel]

@otmapp666 I agree

[grindcore777]

OTMAPP!

I love this song

saw at the Galaxy too before it shut down amazin band

[otmapp666]

yeah it's a fuckin great song, and a fuckin great band! fuck the fashions!

[piparotess]

@otmapp666 fuck man! good thing the fckin fashion aint got to everyone. good to see that people actually like psychobilly for it's true from. not that dress-up wussies.

O.T.M.A.P.P!

[antieverythingCz]

@piparotess who are the dress-up wussies, exactly? :D 

[lilshaz0]

Isn't the song actually called rockability psychosis?

[otmapp666]

no I don't think so

[otmapp666]

no I don't think so

[dimlightbulb10]

@otmapp666 it is

[DavidGaldis]

@lilshaz0

I think you are confusing the name of an album released by Crazy Cavan and the Rhythm Rockers. While that band is fucking awesome, it's not The Meteors!

[TeardropValley]

mee too ;) the best i have done ;)

[MOD725]

love this song...love the meteors

[otmapp666]

I've survived them live =)
