Shaved Head by Rheostatics

But my love for you is endless...

Perfect song or what?

[EcksAddikMcAddik]

If David Bidini were to take time from slumming at the National Post, if Martin Tielli were to loosen up, if Tim Veseley were to have the itch to rock the five-string again, and if the three were to finally stop hating on Dave Clark, then I'd be there for their reunion. RHEOS FTW!

[MikeWilson2k5]

@EcksAddikMcAddik Those are a lot of unlikely variables :(

[EcksAddikMcAddik]

@MikeWilson2k5 Someone tweeted me wrt my comment. Let's say that this was his fave clip on YT. But thanks for recognizing these variables.

[BLT1940]

@EcksAddikMcAddik Love your post, but it'll never happen.

[Creaulx]

What a trip I'm having discovering these amazing guys one song at a time for the last eight months. Unbelievable - I'm *there* if they ever reunite.

[gibsonrd1]

i forgot about Simon. Yeah this is when Much played videos. Go Statics!!!!

[imelchinger]

Martin Tielli is a really wonderful and strange performer. His "dream" songs are so strong, and his voice is so beautiful! Love these guys.

[drumtravelfun]

Amazing.

[elanmak]

Man, this so g has the best drumming, ever, of any other song. It's what makes it

[shue3303]

Gud.

[72911e]

amazing. saw this live a couple of times. Martin Tielli is a fantastic singer IMO. so into it, such a powerful voice...

[elanmak]

somebody seriously pissed Tim off at 1:04

[studlyfellow]

@elanmak Well, Tielli forgot the words there for a bunch of measures. I think Time was just watching his bandmates, and they him, to see how they were all gonna keep things together.

[0society0]

great song, but all the best versions i've seen of this track are with martin on lead (no offense to dave). too bad he only picks up his guitar right at the end, just in time to do...nothing???

i'd also like to take this opportunity to give a big "fuck you" to the pathetic sham that muchmusic has turned into. nowadays, we'd be lucky if they allowed this type of performance on the sidewalk in front of the building.

[mattisprettycool]

compare this to what Muchmusic is like now. Ughh.

[picmacpluc]

I love the rheos, but, dave bidini is a showboating egotistical jackass. Martin on the other hand has been touched by god or something, an under-appreciated canadian treasure

[elanmak]

Bidini's books are amazing though

[mattisprettycool]

AGH I wish Much Music was this cool now.

[brahmthexton]

Bidini looks like a peeping tom, and Tielli almost looks innocent.... Awesome!

[hotnstinky]

How can this only have 2700 views? It's a shame I tell you.

[tayloreh]

@hotnstinky How can this only have 6,640 views? Its a shame, I tell you...

Remember, whu knows what happiness thar be for the future to introduce.

[ladrugaddicto]

haha! best alternative...

more like best fucking band ever!

it's everything else that's alternative

[jeffkahl]

also so strange seeing Dave Clark with no beard or glasses. the many times I've met him in the recent past he's had a full beard and Col. Sanders style half frames.

[jeffkahl]

pardon my ignorance but who's the cat on the Takamine acoustic?

[Beauvoir666]

Lewis Melville a friend of the band who often used to join them live to help out (usually on pedal steel guitar).

[jeffkahl]

oh cool!

[erinmerle]

Wow, back in the day when much was a music station.

[kanli36]

I remember seeing them perform this outdoors at night at the Guelph music festival in 1991. Tielli was positively scary during this song in that performance! Earlier that day he and Jane Sibbery did some fun stuff.

[FOWLMUSIC]

What a surreal thing to see the Rheostatics on Much Music. With that VJ jumping around like an idiot, clearly having no clue the glory they were about to lay out.  And probably missing it while it happened.

[dickvandickweed]

simon was actually pretty cool. not like today's standards, that's for damn sure. he knew his shit.

[thejiveturkey]

Wow! That is a fantastic performance. Wish I could download the video.

[onetrikpony]

God love Much, God Love Rheostatics, 'nuff said.

[Maebashi]

I talked to Dave Clarke about this performance. He said that the Much Music people didn`t know what to make of them and kept looking at them like they were from outer space.

[FOWLMUSIC]

They were. A much better galaxy than the one Much Music comes from.

[rockpaperpixelsc]

This is so great. Those are some top-notch Tielli hand aerobatics. Thanks Darrin!!!
