@friendsandenemiesofu No that's not right. They played '1979' at the American Music Awards in Jan. 1996. This performance was on a French music awards show in Dec. 1995. David Bowie introduced them.
i remember when this song came out. i was a little kid and i couldnt understand the 1st part. i would just keep saying RAT IN A CAGE! everytime he got there, lol.

wasn't that good. Billy's voice never sounds good with this song live. I'm sure i'll get a million down thumbs but seriously! It's just what I think of it. Not to mention this video switches shots to much.
@MisterMisanthropy Billy voice was never good. He was a great composer for a few years, and the albuns got a lot of production to minimize the fact that he was never a singer. The songs he wrote, with another vocalist, and other guitar player besides the other guy would be Great, and they don't need so much production as they need. This was never a good band, it's just a great composer with good production.
Naa, thats just how they sounded live. Pretty different but incredible. saw them many times back in the 90's. This video switching was hot in '95 man !!!
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@ZTBennett12 Well, his voice may result too "nasal" for some people. His voice is not great, but it´s quite personal. I like it, anyway.

I think he always sounds raspy live, especially when he's doing those screams he does.
