Skin - Look but don't touch

[tatsareover]

remember when england was trying so hard to make their bands famous...but never actually worked out( maybe a little bit Thunder)....the only band was skunk anansie....otherwise no band never got reconit apart from the classic iron maiden and company......sorry england but you must thank Muse and Lostprophets to be on charts again.....

[vegetarianpunk]

[stratts123]

OMG I didnt know they had reformed. How happy am i? I saw them on the night that they launched the National Lottery in the UK. Aaaages ago.

[slang215]

John Corabi could do a KILLER remake of this song I think...

[slang215]

Best frickin song I have heard in a long time...Music needs to sound like this again that's for sure!!

[HappityHap]

my god, this takes me back a few years. LOL

[hoppoh58]

[racheltiegan]

[PeaveyPV20]

either ebay or it is available from I-tunes now. Its well worth it solid rock and no crap filler tracks a mix between extreme, red hot chilli peppers and bon jovi wiv a bit of def leppard sound too

[zeinno]

just awesome., Love these guys!

[puffal59]

i saw theese last night at shepards bush supporting chickenfoot they done acoustic versioins of there songs and it was immense!

[Metaxa14]

Glad u liked them last night. .... they were really good indeed :-)

[sandravanmalderen]

Do they still excist? I know them from a long time ago, when they came on tour to Belgium with Iron Maiden.

[Metaxa14]

Yes they still exist.... They re-formed this year and are on tour in England this December :-)

[steven1milton]

@Metaxa14 I saw them years ago too supporting Iron Maiden in Aberdeen then again at Donington - They were good

[19stjohn67]

@steven1milton their at download this year too.

[steven1milton]

@19stjohn67 Didnt know that and have allready resigned myself to not going due to lack of funds

[BlackCookies99]

@sandravanmalderen Yeah they're still around it's their farewell tour this year

[rjchaplin283]

and i was standing next to ya, cos i went with ya!

but yhh... absolutely AMAZING acoustic versions

[tiopepe11]

Was a fantastic show they put on at donnington... I was going to get up onto shoulders to show appreciation the propper way... but my friend beat me to it... people watching them at download probably saw he... and me on the ground lol... That camera man on main stage was a right pervert lol

[Drasche]

These guys were absolutely amazing at Download...they rocked the main stage!!!

[chrisharvey9]

i cant believe this i just checked them out to see if they are any good cos im goin to download, and its another great band, so in a row it will be these black stone cherry dream theatre ZZ top journey whitesnake and DEF LEPPARD. Id pay hundreds to see those let alone 65 quid.

[Metaxa14]

Glad you like them, it's gonna be a great day at Download on the sunday with so many good bands on :-)

[JonnyInfinite]

@Metaxa14 yes it was indeed!

[satch60]

Saw theses when they supported Bon Jovi in 95 iv'e loved them since

[19stjohn67]

cannot wait for download to see this lot again, been way too long.

[yerffejstrebor]

skin...at..the..muni...pontypr­idd...class!were...you...there­???were...you???

[skaterluca]

We were there fantastic to see hear and meet them ! They were awesome but whether or not they reform after Download is debatable!

[hw312002]

Can't wait for Wolves!!

[artzam26]

Ive seen this band way back and just heard they are playing at Wolves....bring it on

[Monica1C3]

I rewrote this for fun to show the woman's side and changed the story so that she WANTS him. Too bad I don't have space to write it out. Some clips for fun: sat down beside you, that boy was in love, I'm not shy, I don't cry, I'm just too much, I said, F*CK and please touch!, I got up, on my mind, number 69, I was dancin', I said baby, please touch my [body part]...etc. :-)

[Monica1C3]

SKIN IS GETTING BACK TOGETHER?!?!?!?!! AWESOME!!!!! Shite that I'm in the States and can't get to England for Download. :'-( Metaxa, will you be there to record vid and post here so the rest of us can see? I contacted them in 2006 and asked about them getting back together, but no one got back with me. Took that as "no". SO happy to see the news!

[Metaxa14]

Would love to say i'll be able to get the Download gig on here but no idea at the moment.

[pritch533]

[pritch533]

amazin!!!!! BRING ON DOWNLOAD 2009!!

[clairerockchick666]

i love this song :) cant belive there playing at download 2009 ROCKING !!!!

[dickmint66]

One of the greatest rock songs of the 90's.

Can't work out why success never came for Nev and the lads.

The only other singer who could have got away with "Baby baby baby,baby baby baby" is Coverdale

[harrismille]

good foot tapping song

[uvrockgod]

Fuckin' love it!!! First heard this song in my ex-singer's car, and loved it from the start! haven't been able to find it since... Straight in the favourites!! Cheers!

[FAUSTIANDAWN]

Man I found a Band I never herd of, bought time, why doesnt anyone post any video's from I Napoleon?

[skinmaddraven]

I love the song..one of my favs but then all skin songs are my favs.not a bad one among them..the guys were awesome always had time for their fans..loved them to bits still do!!!

[taff622]

The guitarist Myke is now a very well respected personal trainer/body builder in London's West End

[lshep1407]

This really takes me back, first saw them at Monsters of Rock then a few times at Rock City in Nottingham, absolutely loved this band, thanks for the videos, always easy on the eye!!!

[stonesy]

Great song! one my aunts uncle gave me this CD when I was like 10-11! it was a yellow cover, unfortunately I snapped it! this was before I had the nouce to rip it to PC :(

[stonesy]

just realised it was actually the fucking bonus CD I had - yellow mustard colour with silver writing "skin" with blackoutline, can't believe I ruined a CD this good! Should I Stay Or Should I Go was a tune!!! lol 12 and listening to that was always fun :)

[chriswonk]

fuckin hell this takes me back !!! awsome !! saw them in plymouth years ago supporting thunder , married now with kids , bummer !! lol

[racheltiegan]

i have looked everywhere for the skin album cant find it.if anyone has a suggestions all welcome because i NEED this album..lol

[skinmaddraven]

have you tried ebay.also theres some good secondhand record stores on the net..

I have all their stuff but still pick up the odd cd/tape here and there..car boots are usually quite good...hope you find it..

[racheltiegan]

i heard these for the very first time when i was 17 i have never forgot them xxx

could anyone please tell me where i could get the album skin as i cant find it anywhere

[Deathbringer41]

You may be able to find it from specialist websites online. If not, I have it burnt from a CD onto an external hard drive.

[metalbearuk]

Thanks for uploading all the vids of this much underrated band.

Were any videos ever officially released do ya know?

[Metaxa14]

There were 2 fan club videos released.... and they're the vids i've uploaded onto here (with mykes permission). Was a live vid and one with all the video's on

[greggadeath1199]

mmmm.skin hey,i can rem when this band started under the name of obsession,i got a t-shirt with photos done in ty-dye,then they change it to taste,then skin.they used to play my beloved norwich oval rockhouse,what a place,still miss it.

[Metaxa14]

I've got one of the Ty-dye t-shirts as well lol

[jonnybiggs]

it would be a crime to music if this lot dont get back together!!! maybe they could do a "one off gig" ??? BRING BACK SKIN !!!!!!!!

[yorksno1]

Remember seeing them open for the Little Angels in about oct 93 at Redcar Bowl , Thought they were pure class back then , must have seen them about 6 times before they split , excellant band always had time for there fans , Nev has the most soulfull voice in rock ever.

Please get back together boys you can do it and would sell out shows.

[jonnyteeuk]

ritey cools will add them on facebook ..gettin all the singles out again now lol.would be cool if they got bk together

[jonnyteeuk]

Got the album and still listen to it loads its pure class also got most of the cd singles and autographs after meeting them twice..should still be goin one of the best live acts that were goin!!

[Metaxa14]

Glad you enjoyed the vids, The question about them re-forming is getting asked quite a bit on the Skin website and the Skin Facebook group at the mo, keeping my fingers crossed that they might get back together one day

[sara301]

I've been looking for some Skin vids for ages - those were the days - saw them 3 times live - fantastic shows and they loved their fans. Cheers.

[tonsterdee]

that was the dogs balls. skin were a fantastic band. looked on youtube for this vid for ages. great tune. thanks for posting.

[RAOTW]

Thanks for posting these vids.

SKIN rocked! They were ace!

[leeb1977]

cant stop watching this! brilliant! thanks again for posting.

[Metaxa14]

Glad you like it. Makes it all worth while gettin them on here if people are enjoying them.

[leeb1977]

how can you not enjoy them - you sir, are a star!

Im sure i read somewhere that Nev went onto work with social services in Nottingham!! Bloody shame if true - a true talent and hearing this reminds me of a great time for UK rock.

I know Mike went onto to work on other projects - but has anyone heard of other stuff any of the other Skin boys have done?

Metaxa14 you sir have a subscriber ;)

[Metaxa14]

Thank you :-) Righty Oh then, here's what the members are up to now (or was last known to be up to)

Nev was rumoured to be a teacher in wales

Andy took up accounting in Ireland

Dicki moved to LA and after stints in bands there is now launching a solo career of sorts

and Myke.. After a few other bands he's now a personal fitness trainer in London

[BryanBEATBOX]

dicki was my drum teacher for 2 years. he plays in a band called deccatree now

[leeb1977]

YES YES YES! cant believe that someones finally posted some Skin videos!!

Quite simply the best live band ever. Come back skin we miss you!!!!

massive thanks for posting Metaxa14!

[Neomax25]

oh my god, oh my god, oh my god....all hail the gods that were Skin! How I miss thee in my life, but thanks Metaxa for posting this it has bought back some very good and some very naughty memories!

All I need now is the MP3!!!! and the old album

Love it....thanks x

[Metaxa14]

my pleasure, i'm glad so many people are enjoying the vids. You should get hold of the albums then, they're still just as good as ever was

[g4pwb]

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[amebeecomps]

Oh Fab! I've been searching for ages to find SKIN on here. I am sooooooo pleased to find this :o) They are still one of my fav bands. I loved seeing them live and they were always willing to have a chat and sign something.

[yorksno1]

I have to agree with lifeslittleoutcast, 1st time i saw Skin was when they supportted the Little Angels at Red car bowl and said to my mate that they would be good , boy o boy was i right , classic type rock long live the 92 to 96 for great Rock music.

[lifeslittleoutcast]

yeah there is so much we have lost along the way mate, what about dogs d'amour and the quire boys there was so much cool stuff around, you rock mate!

[lifeslittleoutcast]

I honestly never thought I would ever hear this again, boy oh boy does this bring back memories,

[hooplemott]

Thank you soooooooooooooo Much!!!!
