Saw Tank and Torme warming up for shitallica.Tank rocked, Torme rocked but that whiny fucking singer wasn't there a few months previous and he ruined the band. Torme has a flat voice and Phil Lewis sings like a girl, I'll take Bernies voice any day. I left when Torme finished
Musta seen them a dozen times back in the day - The Clarendon , Marquee - all the usual dives - most underated band of the period - Great frontman, solid rythm section and one of the worlds beat guitarists - shoulda been huge. - If you likr Torme, you must remember The Grip as well?
I always loved this song, from the original version that came out as a six pack of singles by Bernie Torme and (I think) The Electric Gypsys, to this re-recorded version by Torme on the Back To Babylon album.
Saw them many times on the tour of the U.K that year, great live band.
Ilove the way Phil goes "Like Bernie Torme" in the ad lib at the end. Priceless !
Rosa is he really? Was a fan before I saw them support Metallica in 1984. At the Lyceum. they were awesome then & as poker says, Bernie's a guitar GOD!!
whoever said their dad was lucky to have met bernie........ why? bernie stunk up the place when he toured with ozzy in 82 and still reeks boo hiss hiss
Ah... you confused me because I already said that Phil Lewis was in Girl! I thought Girl were OK but I think they had bottles thrown at them when they played the Reading Festival in 1980.
A great piece of music. Probably the most commercial incarnation of the Tormé lineup. Bernie should have been a much bigger star than he is. A real shame.
René Berg? Can't say that I have heard of him...though I've just looked on Wikipedia and you are (of course) right! Being a big Tormé fan I am surprised that I didn't know the connection. You learn something new every day...!
Yeah Wikipedia has a lot of stuff about him, you can buy his CDs on the internet I must recomend the Leather the lonlyness and your dark eyes, that the one wiv Torme its fab! and Gangbang Band there actuwelly the same thing
Great to See Bernie and the boys on here. Remember seeing them a few times on tour and especially at the old Marquee club on Wardour Street, London - Top stuff!!
Back To Babylon is still one of my all time fave albums, if anyone can post Family at War or Mystery Train it would be awesome
