chrome - meet you in the subway

[EmpireLS56KW]

this sucks 

[honeyflymusic]

all these people with an age problem ! life is sweet and bitter it always was and always will be

music is good

[TheSuendenfall]

yesssss what the hell is going on????feel like i´m in a time-machine.....please bring back those times!!!!!

[americandiscocrash]

originally found on subterranean modern, a compilation album from ralphs record showcasing bands of sfo: chrome, the residents, mx-80 sound, and tuxedo moon. this had three chrome songs: "anti-fade", "i left my heart in san francisco", and "meet you on the subway", all three are also found on the box set, just not in the original order. anti-fade is also good, san francisco is only like :30 seconds of sounds.

[halfcabdisaster7]

I never realized there was a video for this jam.

[Slime0Showers]

what album this off of?

[americandiscocrash]

@Slime0Showers hey, i posted a reply but inadvertently did not click your name. details behind "meet you in the subway" for chrome.

[americandiscocrash]

what is the story with this video? any one know? was it something they made for public access? i would see local bands in parma do this, but parma ain't the sfo. serious replies only or i will get yippity pippity on the fourschizzity.

(note: the video was 1984. target made a bunch of -- hey-- i will wiki my ass on over to see what they say about target video, there lies the f'n answer, maybe target made stuff for public access)

[luvumo2day]

Time flys so we must capture it,recent tracks are disinergrating as we watch a saved one returning for a second chance at appreciation.So many gems our listening majority wasn't ready for in the past are now influential main stream .To little too late is better than nuthin.

[midwichyouthclub]

One of the best songs EVER written!!!!

[khoroshoorange]

give me some chrome songs, some weed and some food  and send me into the desert.

[dronecult]

@khoroshoorange dude i will not give you all of those things you already have this chrome song, my weed is MY weed

[dronecult]

@khoroshoorange the desert belongs to the people

[americandiscocrash]

@khoroshoorange no, give me some chrome songs, some weed, and send me some dessert. cake. a beautiful cake. with frosting piled high so i can lay my head in it like a pillow of love. mmmmmm. and chrome, chrome will be my muse as i eat the cake while my head is cradled in its goodness. mmmm. mmmmmmmmm.

[paulph12002]

This song was actually recorded in 1979, not 1984 as said in the video. It still sounds way ahead of its time and I can't imagine any current bands coming up with anything anywhere near as inventive as this.

[americandiscocrash]

@paulph12002 note: the "1984" is a marker for the video. target video made a bunch of stuff involving throbbing gristle, butthole surfers, tsol, and more in the early-mid 80's. now i need to find out why. why. why.... was it also displayed on san fran public access? i know they sold vhs videos of these things, this chrome video was on a target video compilation. all their videos had that obnoxious marker ruining the picture.

[Koettnylle]

12 people got stood up in the subway

[ScatteredPlanets]

every time is better



[YoRouable]

What they're riding in this video is the BART: the Bay Area Rapid Transit system in the San Francisco Area. It isn’t actually a subway, because it runs almost entirely above ground (except in down town San Francisco itself). FOOD FOR THOUGHT!

[Decantrop]

Helios Creed must like Clockwork Orange.

[Syndikati]

fuckin awesome

-

these days are gone...

....forever,

-

-

a shame.

[tom77092]

So this is from 1984... 25 years ago. It sounds pretty fresh, still.

[Hairyarmpit]

way ahead of our time.they were from the future,man!

[queensgate1]

@Hairyarmpit yep future past , cyber industrial punk funksters, one and only

[DAREALAndyRampage]

HEY! I 'know' that Girl!!

[longstonestudio]

i want to be there

[Gonzoroy]

where did those bastards get a hold of video cameras in 84!?

[mk2053]

Chrome - unique sound. Fucking great! Thanks

[TymexPyres]

Ya know if you play this with the colors inverted, it is a little less freaky ;) But, still a great song and video.

[tdp6]

Has a bit of an underground feel to it...

[robinhatescheese]

I am 15 and CHROME IS FUCKING AWESOME.. thank you and goodbye

[MrSKINFLICK]

This IS from compilation album Subterranean Modern (1979) on Ralph Records, together with Residents, MX-80-Sound and Tuxedo Moon. It appeared nowhere else than on this LP, as far as i´m informed...........for other great music (not only from that time, visit the PLAYLISTS of my channel. oh yeah - the track is shortened - in fact about almost 7 minutes long ! Why so short ?

[mazokizt]

@MrSKINFLICK video version prolly, the full version can be found at some of their best of CDs (still in print).

[MrSKINFLICK]

@mazokizt : I found the original version (5.17) here on youtube and it can also be found among hundreds of uploads inside Helios Creed´s channel HeliosChrome ! but i´ll sub your channel and add invite, there´s some very interesting stuff inside ! from which year is the Lamborghini-track in your favorites ?

[mazokizt]

@MrSKINFLICK I don't remember where it was first released exactly, but I know it was somewhere between 82-83, that is the date said on the LP it belongs to in the Adenoids box. It also came out on some australian post punk comp, not sure if the other bands are good, only other one I know in there is SPK.

[MrSKINFLICK]

@mazokizt:as i said below here:it was first released on"Subterreanean Modern"(Ralph Records) in the USA 1979.The compilation also included Tuxedo Moon, Residents and MX-80-Sound. It is a very classic compilation of post punk, but also pretty rare i guess(or most people don´t wanna sell it-like myself).The original sound version in full length(5.17)is on the channel HeliosChrome of band member Helios Creed here on YouTube OR inside my playlist"70s/80s electronics"-check out !

[bettyx1138]

they were the best.

[clemzzz]

half machine lips move !!

shame they were to scared to do "live"

[creamstripe]

Great song. A work of BART.

[TheKnittingKitten]

I really love the live version of this too.

[Hyperakusis1973]

Yes great song and nice video, too.

[BabysGotTheRabies]

Luv the cutting edge 80's special effects! Which BART station is that - it looks so familiar.

[ttmot]

outdoors looks like macarthur.

indoors is most likely

embarcadero and powell

156/45191

[DenmaFAT]

The outdoor station is Rockridge. That part, and the snippets of the drummer were filmed in 1980 in 16mm. I think the rest is video that was taped later.

[clemzzz]

nice info , love the girl in this vid , is she / was she - a famous? model x

[DenmaFAT]

I believe that's Damon's wife Fabienne Shine.

[ttmot]

@DenmaFAT

thanks -

ttmot

[mccail9]

[Orgonebox4u]

[vivalapsych]

I love this song.

[ClipRate]

at '1:23'

[Rataxes]

Great!

[guyplayfair]

So glad to hear this again,Thanks for putting this up. I don't know what to call myself, but I have loved this since it came out thanks

[LegsSadowsky]

watching New age too both videos seems fake Chrome. strange. or maybe not money enough, strange but true.

[tschak909]

Saw them in Boston, a few days ago. WOW. They did this before the encore... intense....

[charlieshakeview]

Yes of course for those that want to know, yes I am a Rivethead. I prefer hanging in a wharehouse with fellow Rivetheads, than in a club watching Goths acting all stuck up and hanging with their own people. So Chrome Rocks!

[wintermutation]

way to be a stereotype.

[charlieshakeview]

For all you critics that don't know how to criticize this is Chrome bitches and Chrome rocks.

For those that are talking about clubs, I prefer being in a wherehouse listening to real Industrial bands than being in a Goth club sorrounded by homos that wear makeup and vinil, and they dance like fags.

[rivethead134]

wow one of the first industrial rock bands...

[musichustler]

I forgot how much I loved this....Thanks!!

[das81]

Good stuff, now this is true "Industrial", True "Electro-punk".Bring it on.

San Francisco and Sheffield rules!

[harkerlana]

I've just been listening to all these DJs announcing their new sound in music.

I know where they are getting it from.

I just love Chrome.

[das81]

DJ's are disgusting creatures which were born during the horrible disco age.

They later ruined electronic music by being the main core in the so called "club scene".

I really hate when people from rockers to rave dudes(even darkies who ironically make trance! and techno industrial?) say trance, house, hardcore, etc is electronic music.

Oh well, that's how the world today when labelling ebm and tanz metal as industrial music.

[iCgalz]

You obviously have never been to a club

It would be a bit shit without a DJ dont you think..

This is shit this song no offense

[das81]

I prefer a club with bands rather than a DJ, even more if the DJ make mix and then try to compose music and release it, if you like it fine.

[iCgalz]

Ok i take it you are around 60 years old.. sounds like that era

[katrastrophy]

I am 60 and CHROME IS FUCKING AWESOME......thank you and goodbye.

[scanner1978]

@katrastrophy

yeah!

[katrastrophy]

@katrastrophy wow some of these comments...NO I am not sixty...he he.....that was some good shit-I think,I cannot remember...LMAO!

[MrEvad65]

HOLY SHIT THIS IS THE GREATEST FUCKING MUSIC IN THE UNIVERSE- GOD BLESS HELIOS CREED AND GOD REST DAMON EDGE- I WORSHIP YOU

[lupanubis]

I am not sixty and love this band to bits!!!@katrastrophy 

[katrastrophy]

correction I am NOT 60.....but when I talk to folks my age with NO taste for GOOD music I wish I was 60 or at least with people like me-COOL PEOPLE not you hehehehe.

[necktick]

why would it be shit? why not get rid of dj's get a laptop, wack a playlist on it of cool tunes, plug it into the clubs speakers system and your away! thats all alot of dj's do, but then theres some brilliant djs like andy weatherall

[iCgalz]

If it sounds good, listen to it..

enough of this, "skilled dj" stuff.. a skilled dj is someone with enough knollege to know the songs which go well with eachother, and can make people dance.

[veryverybadking]

Ooooh! My old favorite. This was my first experence with CHROME ....(30 years ago?).

[atzenanu]

it's from '84...

[Paulph04]

This song dates from before that actually, 1979-80. Around the time of the Red Exposure album. It says 1984 because that's the year this video was released. Great song and video too.

[Paulph04]

It's in fact from 1979, according to the Chrome website. This and I left my Heart in San Francisco were originally released on a 1979 various artists compilation called Subterranean Modern.

[atzenanu]

and Anti-fade off course;)

[heraldojesus21]

+ MX 80 Sound, Tuxedomoon and The Residents

[bitsdfg4]

This sort of music should return to destroy pop.....

[thm7734]

....

[thm7734]

ya, this song was brilliant. wut a time... wut happened...

[fosterch]

You forgot the question mark

[61shotbeehive]

you fogot the period.

[palehorsepalerider]

yu forgot the R.

[61shotbeehive]

U forgot the "O"

[Syndikati]

We all forget about time by watching it....thank you so much for the up-load...............AWESOME.­...meet you back in time

[frauleinjenna]

You forgot the "y,o".

[61shotbeehive]

you win!!!!!

[33interzona]

They have so much amazing music. Why there¨s only two song from them here? Where´s half machine lips move? March of the chrome police? Zombie warfare? They are not popular at all, but their music is absolutely from another world!! Somebody said that their music is what Dante would have figured out to Hell. And I agree... and I love that hell...

[jpascalj]

i feel i am one of the goods because i was born having access to chrome...

[VernianProcess]

I love that this was filmed on BART. SF FTW!

[piamant]

love this timeless song...

[vicoland]

WOOOOOOOOW!!!!!!!!!!1111

Underground, Industrial Pioners, When the old industrial school music meet Post Punk

[taranburns]

everybody should own a chrome cd! EVERYBODY

[Wittton]

good Song

[ratnik44]

Could anyone of you give me the lyrics of this song and "Eyes on mars"? They sound really awesome for me, so I would like to appreciate words as well. :)

[kolop2R]

"Meet you in the subway" est la quintessence du rock. Parfait.

[zombiewarfare]

I understand there's a video for 'Danger Zone' too, made at the same time as New Age and this...

[paulph12002]

zombiewarfare (1 month ago)

I understand there's a video for 'Danger Zone' too, made at the same time as New Age and this...

There's a DVD of Chrome and Helios Creed which has this and all the Chrome videos, with Firebomb which hasn't been released before.

[chromeflux]

great

[pauldrohrer]

looking for Chrome, The Winds are talking"album the Red Exposer album is the gartest of all time.

[Elgrandeshit]

Is'nt word of mouth beautiful? I first heard of chrome in college 86. By then Damon and Helios were seperated and they were basically defunct. Now Helios is often regarded as one of the greats and Chrome's awesome sonic assault is being enjoyed more and more...

[Nigeman]

Unbelieveable. To think how good this clip is made on zero budget being shown to a very small audience, yet being so much more interesting than so may clips costing thousands. Chrome were awesome

[urckrecords]

Yeah!! haven't seen this since '90!

Long Live Target Video!

[Mezola]

Goddamn this is good!

[paulph12002]

Nothing sounded like Chrome back in the late 70s - mid 80s. Ahead of its time, great stuff.

[uberalles2]

Yeah, that chick has a rockin bod. All legs. I just bought the DVD on ebay. Search for "Dual Forces" or search for "Target Video" They did some Tuxedomoon also.

[Elgrandeshit]

Hey Thanx for these tips. Right on!!!!

[clemzzz]

i never tirer of this clip.. it's awsome.. i have fantasy about the babe who looks so UN-80's.. legs ...oooooh.. the fact that i will never see what she really looks like or ever know her name..really adds to the sexual tension i am feeling.. we love you helios !

[weadunxtc]

[awayz]

[tomt45]

[corkbender]

The early 80's, the last great age of modern music, and Chrome was one of the great bands.

[bennyshambles]

Amazing! Phillip K. Dick meets A Clockwork Orange with an Acid-Punk soundtrack! I've wanted to see this for a long time....the best song off Subterranean Modern Ralph Records compilation to boot....hot damn!
