Republica - 03 - Ready To Go - Live Absolute Radio July 2010

[DesiFuyuko]

I love her hair!!! This is one of my all time favorite songs :D She's so cool, why do I read the she's old?? She looks fine to me and very pretty too

[xylologic]

I thought Faye Dunaway is the lead singer. Awesome.

[grassfuse]

What a lot of adolescent arrogance! If you can sound as good as these three whatever age you are,you are a work of art ,and beauty is in the ear of the beholder! great guitar in this too!

[polkanator]

It's Mrs Swan from MAD TV!

[BallsadeepmodeXYZ]

@HornSpeakersRGarbage

Yeah,continue lookin in the mirror... every second- every hour -every decade- every century

and then tell me about how your ideal 'etherial body" was perfect the way you remember it when you where 20 forever- incapsulated in your own dementia, forever preserved in time for your own ......

Masturbation?

[well399]

Ready to go. . . . into retirement lol x

[Winky395]

hah yeah like you punks are never gonna get old?

mebbe not

[sabersgrrl]

God she looks so ugly and scary, her nose looks broken like she's been in too many bar fights, even missing teeth, couldn't she get them fixed? nasty. shame she was such a pretty woman. it doesn't look like she's evolved or changed, still clinging on to her youth and failing miserably. although her voice still sounds great.

[natranr]

I want them to tour over here. I'd go to see them

[RAUBMENSCH]

Wow! The natural evolution of the most beautiful woman in the world ever. She gained weight, wrinkles and lost some teeth...:( Saffron...In your prime you were a godess...Your still extremly beautiful...

Im so bewildered when it comes to Republica, they had the most beautiful and most charismatic singer ever, still their success were only temporary and not so massive. Their songs, get ready to go and drop dead gorgeous are superb and again, a band cant wish for a better front man/woman.

[spiderchoc]

She looks completley different now. Her nose looks much flatter and wider now (check out the 1996 vid on the right) Not sure if she broke her nose and had to get it altered but it seems to have effected her voice as it isn't as good anymore.

Shame :(

[TheAdultChild101]

This is crap. If Saffron isn't careful, she's going to end up just like Dale Bozzio: A has-been who never went on to anything else and pathetically clinging to a handful of 30-year old pop tunes in her old age. Time to move on, Saff.

[C4CC]

IT'S AMAZZZIN WHAT 40 LBS'S WILL DOOOOO!



[YourSoulCorrupted]

I find it kind of funny that they have to wait for the drum machine to count 1,2,3,4 before they can play.

[BallsadeepmodeXYZ]

@HornSpeakersRGarbage..Your profile says your 27.. haha.. Saffron was in her 30's when she was in the original vid in the mid 90's. I think she looks damm good for her age now,i don't know exactly what standards you're holding her too unless you beleive in "immortality".. is that a religion? And for all the dumbfucks in their 20's that beleive in such a religion...hahaha you're all going to hell!!!!!!

[andreww1212]

This is a bit sad to watch. It's like looking at the ruins of Ancient Rome.

[Mydadsdog]

@andreww1212 LMFAO

[discretinator]

like good wine

[andreaoffshore]

her nose looks different

[theeltea]

@andreaoffshore She looks like a different person... :(

[lucaszappa]

delicious!!!!

[HornSpeakersRGarbage]

Getting fat, losing teeth, squinting a lot - loox more like an Asian store keeper than a model now =)) SAF! Get ya'self some teeth, & hit the gym!

[theeltea]

@HornSpeakersRGarbage Well, I'm afraid a gym and a dentist won't cut it...

[HornSpeakersRGarbage]

@theeltea HAHA =D Nice comeback! But really U must agree she was pretty B 4. She has the genes. She just needs the DISCIPLINE! & she needs 2 lose a LOT of weight - not just a few pounds. She loox GR8 when she is really slim, like B 4. Check it out:

Republica - Ready To Go (Pop Version)

watch?v=BKzXYK2hEws

BEAUTIFUL! =D & it IS possible. I'm in my 40's now & look early 20's =) 1'st step is drink only distilled water, lots of fruid, & no meat or toxins of N E kind inside or out.

[theeltea]

@HornSpeakersRGarbage Pretty? Say what? PRETTY? Damn, she was DROP DEAD GORGEOUS! :)

[HornSpeakersRGarbage]

@theeltea HAHA - & she wanted 2 'Get Off W/U" =D But now we must decline, thanx HAHA

[theeltea]

@HornSpeakersRGarbage Well I still hope she'll get it together... I've heard rumours of her getting into drugs and stuff... :( Let's hope for more good material coming from those guys!

[HornSpeakersRGarbage]

@theeltea I dunno' about drugs, but I can certainly envision her sagging in some couch sad about her fall from stardom while stuffing sweets into her face, watching TV =)) She needs 2 get rid of her furniture & TV & live in a bare room with nothing but some bread, rice, fruit, & maybe some weights HAHA

Oh wait - that's ME! & that's Y I look like some magazine model half my age =D

[HornSpeakersRGarbage]

@theeltea Fruit sorry - typo

[sabersgrrl]

@HornSpeakersRGarbage LOL i was thinking the same thing. She reminds me of Miss Swan from Mad TV now.. wow, she was such a beauty in the past, too bad.

[HornSpeakersRGarbage]

@sabersgrrl HAHA @ Miss Swan =)) What's more sad than looking @ the wreckage of her body is imagining all the tortured nights stuffing herself with junk food depressed about the demise of her 'career' =( It's so lame! Just because U R not on fuking electric jew [TV] doesn't mean U R worthless & should chow down on krap! Get more into dance or something & explore it BECAUSE U LIKE IT! =D

Aaah shallowness - only wanting 2 look good if some1 is watching =P

[HornSpeakersRGarbage]

@sabersgrrl Like me - I don't work out & stuff 2 B famous or whatever. It's just nice 2 B sleek modely looking, like owning a fancy car or something, but cheaper, & instead of falling apart, loox better as time goes by! =D + if U put in the work, chix bang U 4 free! =) No need 4 $

[HoldUrColours]

that's not Saffron. Missing teeth and chubber

[gerrr]

Damn no more plastic surgeries for this chic

[kingink99]

You are still beautifull Saffron!!!

[poffercake]

Wtf did Saffron do to her face O_O

Oh well ... they still sound amazing ... 

[tasman001]

Haha, oh god, that accent has just gotten worse.

[robhingston]

Yes your right its better then original

[leandro7up]

absolutely fuckable !!!!!!!!!!!!

[martinlaporte2]

This version is sooooo much better than the original !!!

[rodster333]

she's still drop dead gorgeous!



[bigestbaby]

she got all her teeth?

[stuartclark100]

@theouterplanet botox me thinks so,that nose looks odd don't you think ???

[huskar23]

still.. WHERE IS THE DRUMMER?!?!?! they sing live without a bloody drummer and you can CLEARLY hear the drums !

[martinlaporte2]

@huskar23 It's called F!@#$%? drum machine !!!

[22centman36]

@huskar23 the keyboard can handle that.

[akiraman26]

There back

[theouterplanet]

can you say..botox?

[bchbrt]

yeah their back together now come to los angeles

[laportama]

Something about this song brings brightness and optimism.

And accompanying, raw, innate rock power.

[alique13]

she seems totally changed. i think she had drug addiction. also couple of plastic surgery maybe.

[IMSTINKYBUTHAVESWAGG]

I love this. This was and still is such a powerful song drive to the beach to and night, I can smell the surf side air right now. Love it.

[grecianchris1972]

still as good as ever.

[kswannie]

I hope this isn't interpreted as racist at all as it isn't intended to be, but merely observational: Saffron's features look more Asian as she ages. Is it an illusion? I seem to remember her looking differently back in the mid-90s.

[dsantiago87]

@kswannie she has definitly had some cirgury done...

[mrmozza82]

@dsantiago87 surgery. 

[dsantiago87]

@mrmozza82 :)



[22centman36]

@kswannie she may be part asian. remember your genetics class in highschool? the chapter about recessive and dominate genes?

[Fidakk]

@kswannie

I think you are right! I prefer either the remember her looking of the 90s.

But...its still a great song! :) Never gets old to listen...

[bubbles199348]

man i miss the 90s

[huckerby]

hey it's the bloke from The Lightning Seeds on guitar!

[laportama]

Crafty. Good tracking. I'd like to see a real band do it live.

[LUGTrekGM]

just as good as the old days. Just as.

[dummy222]

what a babe still

[finalnexus]

nifty....

[drugonam]

She is still the same! Amazing! I know what's happened with them! They just froze for twelve years. ^_^

[phrankus2009]

"Saffy", Girl, you really *are* back!

OK, so you can't ~quite~ still fit into that hot-red dress ... but you still look/sound great!

(I don't fit in my old military dressblues, either, so ... yer still plenty hot 'nuff, fer me.). I am an old RTF type and I gotta say ... I have never seen a model work a camera like you did in the original RTG Warehouse shoot ... not before ... not since.

And, that was excellent shooting/editing, to be fair. Great to see you! .. Still got it !

[TheBlackout5150]

Saffron is truly 1 of a kind! GO GURRL

[1Atomtan]

Missing Barbarosa.



[gsmark455]

i haven't heard this tune in a long time. Very cool :-)

[radostinM]

It is my favorite song.

I wanna see him on tour again.

[radostinM]

It is good to see Republica again.

We wanna see him on tour.

[Danalo78]

Damn, her voice is still amazing! I hope they get it back together and start touring!

[buscandote124]

saffron I love you from the first time I heard ready to go I fell in love with you I hope that someday you come to Peru.

[asdfghjkl53228]

Perfect band and even better and a wonderful singer :-)

[skatejam7]

[desiglas]

She's like a Chinese Shirley Manson, very sexy! :)

[Kadaverslayer]

I like that bloke that plays piano's haircut. Its bloody awesome.

[agedwards63]

I like it good job

[cc92103]

I love this song, and I love Absolute Classic Rock UK!! Radio Luxembourg plays Ready to Go a lot too....

[nindzie]

Saffron is so gorgeous!!! Music is so perfect!!! I have no words that I can talk how that like a brilliant!!!

[darwindunn]

had her teeth done liked the gappy ones

[Bobbydickheaded]

She's looking good. I remember hearing this when it came out, i think i was 8 or 9, brings back happy, good memories.

[jasonscottable]

@Bobbydickheaded yea... takes me back to being at mrytle beach at the water park slides with nothin but lots of girls and lots of fun with my cousins, bros and nephews hearin that song on the speakers. i was about that age too.... ahh! the good ol' days

[theeltea]

@Bobbydickheaded No she is NOT looking good. This is not the same Saff we all love. Oh damn, who am I deceiving... :(

Times change... At least she didn't lose her awesome voice...

[malc1976]

she still looks great looks like all the tings i read on the internet are bullshit

[shiftstart]

She turned into a Chinese !?!?! 0.o

Or is this the Asian version of the same band?

[roachofdiscord]

@shiftstart Turned into a chinese? I don't get it..

[beano1eye]

@shiftstart Saffron is of Portuguese, Chinese and English descent. She can speak fluent Cantonese Chinese as well as English.

[shiftstart]

@beano1eye

Thanks Beano. I didn't catch it in her original music video until I watched this video.

[aaronmonkeylover]

@beano1eye that is not her. The facial bone structure is totally off

[beano1eye]

@aaronmonkeylover lol I've known Saf for over 20 years trust me it's her!

[aaronmonkeylover]

@beano1eye Did she get in an autimobile accident? She still is cute. I keep on forgetting how far back the late 90's were.

[tommyboomboom]

@beano1eye I saw some pics of her on Flickr from May 2008 and she looked awful... like she was 70 years old. There were comments about 'stop the drugs' etc... I see her now and she looks amazing!? I don't get it. Was she ill or something? I mean, it doesn't look like she's recently had a load of surgery. she still looks like her.

[trollionaire]

@tommyboomboom i see... so it was the drugs, shes got a totally different nose, mouse and teeth... could be surgery, could be age, could be the drugs, could be all of the above

[roachofdiscord]

Amazingggg <3

[tairanokiyotsune]

what the heck happened to her teeth!?!?!

[WarriorBoy]

Great live performance!
