Looks like someone that keeps posting nasty things about our BEAUTIFUL Ben on these Cars videos has a problem with Ben. Thats ok...we know how talented and beautiful he was!!
i seen them at the hollywood paladium earlier this year, they rocked. I also seen them at the house of blues with Todd Rundgren they also rocked then! I never seen them with RIP Ben though... sorry to say!
I only got to see them once back in '78, but they were a great great live band. Their sound was awesome. Areosmith, Stones and The Who all great, but I saw them live,and if you didnt know the songs, you wouldnt even know what the hell they were playing. Aerosmith ,saw them 2 times, terrible live band. But the Cras, man what a sound. Excellent band. Lots of memories.
Face it...you can see it everywhere. Orr and Easton had the connection. Sure, Ocasek had something to offer....they all did! I think there was a great divide between Ric's songs and Benjamin's. I just think Orr was more capable as a songwriter, and certainly a better singer!
@DickLodge68 It's true Orr is the superior vocalist... as a songwritter though unfortunatly there is no evidence, in the Cars anyway. Ocasek wrote pretty much every song with the exception of "Moving in Stereo" which was co-wrote with Greg Hawkes. Still though it doesn't knock down the talent of Orr by anymeans, his bass playing and voice are incredible and part of what makes this great band work so well.
@JWOLFPACK I read your post about "The Cars". The band agreed only to use Rik's lyrics. Benjamin was a superior songwriter, and was in different bands since 1965. He would have been 64 tomorrow. In fact, one of the reasons the band split up was because Ben got into writing more after his solo project, "The Lace" was released.
@kathyuk28 I've heard some of the "Lost Tracks" Even Angels Fall is one of my favourite songs I really hope it's released as a cd sometime all of that material :), had no idea Ben wrote those lost tracks as there isn't much info on them happy to hear that though they're great songs. What i ment by the comment was simply as documented in credits it all goes to Ric in The Cars for songwritting. I personally would've loved to hear songs wrote by Ben, the songs on "The Lace" are fantastic.
Is it just me or does Elliott Easton appear to be playing two different guitars in this clip? In some shots he's playing a red ES-355 (looks like an ES-355, anyway), in others, he's playing one with a blonde finish. Looks like they edited two different performances together.
The Cars Inspired The Cartoon show Kid Video from the early 80's! I mean you can hear it on the show from 83-84 The Cars is such a legendary band it doesn't make any sense as to why there not in the Hall Of Fame!? They still perform as of 2011! Keep playing your hits they rule! Peace!
Never cared for Cars much in the 80's. Realized 5 or 6 years age that every time one of their songs came on the radio I would crank it up. Went out and bought all the cd's. Few singers could sound as good or better live as they did in the studio. Ben Orr is one of 'em. Gone too soon.R.I.P.
The people who dislike this video are pro-war idiots who support Obama's borrowing money from China and spending billions in U.S. tax dollars to invade and brutally occupy sovereign nations in the middle east, creating more deficit, more enemies and acting as an imperialist Hitler type when the money should be spent to create new jobs and help our own people while bringing home the troops and putting them to work protecting Americans on U.S. soil. Ric Ocasek for President 2012
Ben's got an awesome voice. Before I didn't know he sang songs like "Drive" and many other songs by The Cars. I thought Ric sang those songs. Anyhow I think Ben's got better vocal talent than Ric not that I think Ric is bad or anything.

Some hard rock I like. Perhaps it's because I can understand the lyrics, the lyrics are cleverly written, the rythm and hooks are great and the singers are on key. Just sayin'.
ABSOLUTELY! The Cars should have been in the Hall way before many lesser acts just because of their originality, Not to mention, their talent and popularity and THEY ROCK. I saw them in 1980 and they were great! Too bad Ben didn't live to see them make the Hall.
@pdynamics1 so what? even if he did, it is a lot less than just about any other big group in that day. he looked damned good with or without. with it on, he was going with the trend which most tried. without he was the most cool gorgeous man that lived. what do you look like? jealous?
i am seventeen years old and this band means alot to me. I grew up listening to these guys because of my dad. they have great music. very stupid that they're so underrated.
the fact that NOBODY has ever been able to duplicate the cars original sound, their number of hits, their influence on modern rock and new wave and the fact they were some of the BEST lyricists and musicians it is a farkin' shame they are not in hall of fame...their lyrics are truly some of the best ever written -- song after song...they knew how to turn a phrase moreso than just about any band ever

@MickScarborough I thought he was old then, Mick. It took them a bit of time to get together with the right people, instead of starting out young. Ben would have been ^SIXTY THREE this year! Sept.8, 1947. That is three years younger than my mom!
vastly underrated band. Not ashamed to tell the world that this is my favorite American band..........quite an admission for a self-avowed aficionado of British prog rock!! And R.I.P., Ben Orr.
Wed love to have The Cars indicted in the RRHOF.....It will be just a matter of time...Unfortunatly those of us would LIKE to see it in out lifetime before were dead! LOL
i like the night-life-baby! oh yeaaaaaaa great tune!!!! they don't write good time songs like this anymore. she's my frozen fire, she's my one desire!
I met Rik in Greenwich Village one day. I told him I liked what he did with Hanson. He thanked me. He was tall, lanky, nervous, pale and uncertain. Then he warmed to me and he was at ease. I told him I collected bootlegs by The Who. He said "so do I".
i'll never get tired of this song becuase its the bestes song ive ever listened to and i just love the cars i ecspecaily like benjamin orr.he has a great voice and hes so beautiful.omg the first time i heard or seen his face and heard his voice i fell in love
The Cars are definitely a Hall of Fame band! Musically there were the best, and Ben Orr's vocals are amazing. He had one of those voices that sounded perfect live!
Did the guys ever do a duet or a switch off while singing . I can't think of any song. It was one or the other. It's simply amazing they were two bands in one. So cool to be a part of that era.
Cars, Devo and the B52s ive listened to from the 70s. still the most original, distinct and unique bands that have EVER come from the U S of A and by christ i truly thank all of them still the best after all this time m48 Australia
@jah0524 You are so right. It's ridiculous that these guys aren't in the R&R Hall of Fame. They sold a zillion records, had 2 zillion fans and influenced 3 zillion other musicians. This song was written in the late 70's and we're still digging it 30 years later. The Cars are the definition of rock 'n roll.
It says something about the R&R Hall of Fame, and it's not good.
Give it time. There are a number of great musicians still not in the R&R Hall of Fame that deserve it. Anyway, another classic Cars song. These guys really inspire me, and I'd love to start a New Wave band someday.
@jah0524 you'd be amazed at who isnt in there....like The Small Faces and Lee Perry....now I like the Cars as much as the next man but there are so few inductees I could name 20 acts not in there....
@jah0524 You'd think if rap groups like the Sugarhill Gang can get in the hall of fame, The Cars should have been in on the first ballot! It's not like there was anything contreversial about this group either. They rocked! RIP BEN.
yes synth drums....quote: An electronic drum is a percussion instrument in which the sound is generated by an electronic waveform generator or sampler instead of by acoustic vibration. they were around since the 70s stick my neck out and guess theyre Rolands m48:)
I don't know why you think they're trying to sound English. I don't think he sounds anything like a Brit. And it's more of an affectation if he's actually doing something intentionally, which I'm not convinced he is.
They are American, and Benjamin seemed to adopt an English undertone to his accent when he sang, due to being a fan of the Beatles etc, that's all. A lot of Brits adopt American accents when they sing, no one seems to comment ;)
Oh My God!! This vid makes me so happy!! The best one I've seen of this song!! Makes me wanna put my skates on!! What a great band!! Miss them and Benji...the hottest man ever!! Yum-yum xxooo
your 100% right tdkdgh, they were and are one of the best new-old wave bands, but this so called rock and roll hall of shame--madonna? nor rush (UNREAL) , one of the best band ever, what fags.
Let's Go!

The guy should be in jail.
He's no artist , he's a pervert and a fag.

Yeh I know.
I always liked Benjamin Orr.
Pancreatic cancer sucks, by the time they find it, it's too late.

What's with the silly accent they put on... aren't these guys American? Are they trying to sound English?
Davez621 2 years ago
I don't know why you think they're trying to sound English. I don't think he sounds anything like a Brit. And it's more of an affectation if he's actually doing something intentionally, which I'm not convinced he is.

They are "overpronouncing" words, like the Brits do.
Davez621 2 years ago
Hmm.
TheRealMarauder 2 years ago
They are American, and Benjamin seemed to adopt an English undertone to his accent when he sang, due to being a fan of the Beatles etc, that's all. A lot of Brits adopt American accents when they sing, no one seems to comment ;)

Ben WANTED to reunite with the Cars. But it was Ric who didnt follow through. Ben WANTED to do it for HIS FANS it wasnt about the money....

The Cars not being in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame shows what a crock it is. Though I'm a metal fan too. And metal gets the serious short end there.

your 100% right tdkdgh, they were and are one of the best new-old wave bands, but this so called rock and roll hall of shame--madonna? nor rush (UNREAL) , one of the best band ever, what fags.

agreed man, lots of crap bands in the hall while worthwhile groups were ignored.

...and to think they let non rock acts like Grandmaster Flash in, it's just insane.
