Gun Club - Idiot Waltz

[wipers000]

Superb !!

[90210411]

The sound is just fine... it sounds just like what a typical concert does, aside from the extraordinary band that's playing. Thank you so much for posting this piece of American rock history.

[Gammarklar]

jeffrey lee was quite the songwriter. what a tragedy he died so young. this song gets me everytime.... those 3 or 4 chords... so simple yet haunting and gutwrenching.

[lynchalandlord]

My heart aches, seeing this video, hearing this song...sublime, godlike. Man, it aches and aches....never knew you, but feel i know you.

[helenga666]

this was filmed with my video camera actually! but it was 1993 or so and the sound is hopeless on that terrible microphone we had (built in). At least its almost like being there....

[JTerrible63]

THANK YOU MR.STAG.

This, a great tragedy-song as great as Jimi's "Train, "Stones' Wild Horses, Miles I Fall in Love too Easily. JP deserved better than the sick harrumphs of "Bad America" & its savage, vicious rejection of him sexually, artistically, and monetarily; he was crucified in his own homeland.

FIX the sound by using an 24 band EQ to turn down the guitars by 60%, and boost the highs all the way up, drum cymbals etc, keep bass at zero, add in later: record

then via the EQ

[PinkMachineGuns]

love gun club

[mocyl]

Thank you Stag. Fantastic!

[Puguglybonehead]

Wow! That's Kid Congo playing lead in that song? I always though JLP did all the lead work. Nice stuff! (even with the messed up sound)

[JWGalusha]

Transcendent, otherworldly, and beautiful!

Thank you...

beauriful

If you want to feel the heart and soul and sex beat of the real L.A. punk scene, do yourself a favor and seek out the Gun Club's entire anthology as well as Jeffrey Lee Pierce's solo work. Saw 'em a million times, every chance I had and it wasn't enough. I saw them in Amsterdam in 1984 where they were actually recognized for what they were at least somewhere- Americans didn't get it except in the miniscule LA punk scene, and only partially there but those who knew worshipped at the f'd up alter.

you never saw the gun club your just a delusional lying prick

[mothermarvin]

My favourite from Lucky Jim.

[11spike7]

How can such an incredible band be so obscure?

[chrissstopherG]

they all are sugar

[AFCWimbledonPhil]

Edwin Pouncey of the NME echoed your sentiments exactly when he asked how a band as good as this struggled to sell out 1000 capacity venues in London.

A cruel twist of fate meant I had appendicitis when the Gun Club played their last ever gig in London. Jeffrey Lee Pierce was a pivotal songwriter in the Eighties music scene, every bit as good as Grant Hart, Bob Mould, Paul Westerberg and Johnette Napolitano. RIP, man.

"The fire of love" is a un-appreciated clasic..at the time of release there was a upsurge in rockabilly and psycobilly.Bands like the meteors and the ventures made it big..the gun club never made it to the mainstream...unlike the cult or bands like that.

[crispian2005]

its great stag..anything with gun club is a treasured item....where is it from...did you video it yerself??

[Stag]

A friend of mine found it on dc++, never got to see Gun CLub live, i`m too young and i only know them for 2 years now

[DaDazey]

Truly beautiful. What I like about the Gun Club's music is the real sense of danger that seems to be part of it.

[9ideal]

don't feel bad about the sound Mr Stag cause it just sounds like happiness to me
