  • its a shame they made sure to mess up the live show this stuff is amazing...still everyone not in ownership of property in the area loves a good riot

  • I'm proud to say I bought this cassette before it peaked.... more palatable than psychocandy and barbed wire kisses.

  • I listened to Darklands alot back in the day. Lovely to know it's just as beautiful as I remember it...

  • this sounds like new wave pop funk ska/jazz:D

    really like it/babababa

  • yeah they sound like candy.

  • This is a piece of quality - please don't section it off as being anything in particular; it is of itself.

  • there music during this darkland days are commonly categorized in the gothic genre, maybe its because of there slightly depressed lyrics and accompanied with a rhythm that takes that depressive spirit out into orbit, manic-depressive music well maybe but the same i dont care and i think you dont care either, so what the shit we dont care about it anyways... you and i love this band for different reasons, you and i are opposite but what i know is that we both dig this band.

  • Maybe it's just because so many people knew them before this album and are surprised by your comment. To be frank, their style didn't change much from album to album. However, we are all enjoying the same thing so it doesn't really matter.

  • By the way, it's really dangerous to try and typecast a band into one particular genre. I think genres should never have been created and should not be observed for music to be subjective, for instance. Then we can truly operate from the same page. But then, you'd have to drop your "goth" stance. Are you ready to let go and let it all in?

  • "genres" are important. Just as language is important. We struggle to express our feelings and thoughts through language. Its a strange feature of the world, that there is a connection between language and the world.

  • From a purely scientific viewpoint language affects the way we think. For example, if your first langauge was Spanish but you spoke English primarily, you'd still think differently because of the way your language presnets itself. I'd like to think of music as global, something that all cultures share as a "first" language. For example, can't you find a connection between tribal drums and some current music? Thanks for your very intelligent post. It made me think and that's always welcome.

  • I do not disagree with you. (Although, I don't know of the "scientific viewpoint".) We don't need to stick with "language", we could just talk about "structures". Music is completely structured. Although it maybe difficult to completely describe the "structures". "tribal drums" and "some current music" has similarity because they share "structures".

    Of course, there are things that happen in music that are not described. One musician pass it along to another. So, we have a musical culture.

  • Apparently if you have a first language, that will affect your thinking patterns if you study that kind of thing. I'm going to go out on a limb here, but I will agree that that music is completely stuctured, as is language. I truly believe that. If all music contains structues, by philosophic reasoning all music contains at least one similarity. What is that structure and how do we define it? It's really easy to to say we have a musical culture and leave it at that.

  • Bertrand Russell and the logical positivist tried to make an exact language but everyone agrees they were not successful. How do you define a language? Language is defined by language. Circular arguement. We must end up with some kind of communal agreement.

  • Don't look to Bertrand Russel for any answers. I'd look to linguists and people who make a study of the brain and it's related areas. (Pinker). You can't define a language. The Inuit have so many words for snow that it baffles us. Their language could be taken to a communal agreement simply because language is not communal beyond their geography. It affects how we think and feel because of it's subltiies. Perhaps we could take this to personal comments. Always a pleasure talking to you.

  • There are only two genres in anything: Good and Bad.

  • I personally dislike genres, but people's tastes differ, which is why we name music styles in the first place.

  • dont know gothic music men?

  • darklands is a calibre album from jmc, lots of good gothic music... nice

  • forgetting Big Country, i think they were a very good under-rated band too, S. Adamson, missed talent.

    RIP.

  • Check out their version of Beach Boys' Surfin USA on Barbed Wire Kisses or just get the MP3. I am a big Brian Wilson fan but I like the JAMC's version better than the original. I am showing my age and biases, but I feel that JAMC's first record Psycho Candy is their best. I kind of stopped following them after a while as I moved into career, kids etc.

  • Yes! Far gone and out, Head on and Upside down should do the trick for you. Enjoy!

  • I simply adore this song!

  • Nah, go back further for a true experience.  Pick up their first album Psychocandy, and you'll discover why JAMC is the godfather of shoegaze.

  • try -teenage lust ,her way of praying ,blues

    from a gun, far gone and out.

  • Por fin vienen a Peru in November!!!!

  • the best rock and roll band of all times

  • You have a great taste. I totally agree!

    Too bad that the mainstream wasn't ready for them.

  • What an ASININE discussion. "Wagner is so 1872; y'know, you should listen to more Mahler- he's TODAY'S sound, man." Music is music, kiddies; it has no time except what you wrap it in. Grow the fuck up.

  • granted the JAMC are brilliant,but there is some really good music out there at the moment.

  • your not looking .just because you're dying inside doesn't mean all new music is dying.wake up!!!!!!!!

  • dadafish1, having not met you before and reading this reply, i now majorly dislike you.

  • Jesus gigs> coming soon

    -9

  • there was alot of crap in the 80's aswel though. people should really lose this attitude about current music. theres good music if youre willing to look for it, just like ay other era

  • nice video! xD 2

  • I like how this song is drowning in reverb...

  • do-do-d-do-do-do...

    cheers chaps!

  • La Raja

  • another gem from 1987

  • También vendrán a Argentina, si Dios quiere, bueno, si Jesus y María quieren, jajaja.

  • a Chile tb vienen, pero por alguna razón acá constantemente nos violan con los precios!!!!

    los boletos más caros de latinoamerica lejos.

    Bueno, vienen con R.E.M. y por eso sale más caro pero de qué me sirve si no me gusta R.E.M.?

  • En Argentina pasa lo mismo, ponen a todas las bandas juntas en un festival de mierda y nos rompen el culo con los precios!

  • The Jesus and Mary Chain in Brazil!

  • this song rules

  • Y TAMBIEN A PERU YEAHHH

  • viene jesus and mary chain a mexico

  • un grupo excelente en los 80,s deja buenos recuerdos musica que no no volveran en estos tiempos donde la musica esta tan escaza 80,s lo mejor en musica no lo digo yo lo dice las encuestas julio de japon

  • shoegaze<3

    i love this group!!!

  • What a FANTASTIC song.

  • I'm so happy!!!...i've got my ticket to see them in november 4th...they will play at SUE-Festival with REM, Mars Volta & Kaiser Chiefs...i can´t wait!!! finally my dream will come true!!!

    Greetings to all JAMC fans around the world! (from Santiago, Chile)

  • They will come to Brazin november 8th. =P

  • perfect description!

  • My Bloody Valentine? I mean, that's a little over 15 years, but, hey.

  • Hm. Most would disagree with you completely, but, alright.

  • when was this band formed?

  • i only have songs, what album is worth buying (ie their best.

  • You should buy "Psychocandy" its a legendary album.

  • Darklands is their best album, not a bad tune on it. But they released a lot of their stuff on EPs, which makes it hard to get hold of now. check out their version of 'my girl'. those Reid bros. love them.

  • Weegie smackheads rule. This was exactly my kind of teenage angst.

  • "oh, I want to stay . . . "

  • mesmerizing...

  • 50000000* stars

  • Man, I'm so glad for youtube. In 1997, I scoured the web for the Mary Chain vid collection, 1985-1989. I found the VHS and it got sent to me, 4 months after I ordered it. I got a Japanese release. Now I don't have to risk getting the VHS stuck anymore. Thanks for the upload.

  • Long live shoegazing

  • BLASTX ŠIPU RACKU ;)

  • iguani; yo te amo.

  • these lyrics are perfect. forget joy division, THIS is the shit.

    "i go to the darklands to talk in rhyme with my chaotic soul..."

    best expression i've ever heard of stuff that can't usually be expressed. makes me want to cry. makes me want to blow the stars from the sky :)

  • no, don't forget joy division. but this is good too.

  • "Ive got the spirit but lose the feeling"

    Dont forget Joy Division.

    JAMC is great too.

  • Emo luzeri - cujte ovo , jebem li vam zilete vase! umrite za valentinovo, jadnici!

  • its their best album,and that's not easy to say

  • I think so, too. I like how each album sounds different. Before they could be dismissed as a gimmick band after Psychocandy, they come out with this album to prove otherwise.

  • coool!!!yes!!!

  • cooool!!!!!!

  • Ahahaha yeh they do kill other bands when they are stealing guitar lines and putting them into very very very bad songs. The strokes are prety responsible for the state music is in at the miniute.

  • na thatas a pretty epic rip there. I like the strokes too but i reckon he took it

  • i know in the uk oasis was rather big, but here in north america there were NO hits after 'wonderwall'. i have a friend who likes oasis but is embarrassed to admit it, tho i tell him it's ok.

    but the jmc were hugely influential to underground rockers here. if you asked them about this oasis comparison, it would seem like comparing the jmc and the thompson twins-- just completely irrelevant.

    it seems that some folks just compare EVERYTHING to oasis. it makes the rest of us scratch our heads...

  • Pixies did a JMC cover, that says a lot.

  • i agree. JAMC were such an influencial band for so many different genres and scenes across the world. pschocandy changed music forever.

    but oasis? well i guess they were big for u.k brit pop or indie bands. erm, yeah thats about it. lol

  • yeh that guys a right cock

  • Me encanta este grupo! son voladazos!, me hace recordar a Cusco...

  • the bands of today have got a lot to learn.

    jmc fucking rocked.

  • Hey, fuck Oasis, comment about the band, please stop this Oasis shit ok... this is about JMC right?... forget about noel and liam, come on.

  • Ahahahaha you cant compare jesus and mary chain to Oasis. Oasis are a amature silly band for people who dont understand music very well.

  • This is a pointless debate, I am sure Noel has bucket loads of respect for the Reid brothers but to compare the two bands is a waste of everybodys time. They both have their own take on pop music and both do it very well but to say that JandMC sound like Oasis is ridiculous. They couldn't sound more diffirent if the tried to, I mean, are your ears painted on or what?

  • i agree . to compare the both bands is simply ridiculous

    i would like to know who said that fucking shit to punch on its face, what kind of moron could say that ass.........

  • Oasis promised a lot, but delivered nothing

  • Lets remember who came first

  • Comparing JMC to Oasis is like Comparing the 80s to the 90s.

    No? Different sounds from different eras.

  • this is the best shit i've ever heard...........compare JMC with "oasis".... nosense

  • you got it backwards dickhead.....JAMC were around first so it could only be that Oasis took something from JAMC

  • these guys are way more raw than oasis, fuck both gallaghers, pompous assholes

  • jmc >>>>>> loads of shit >>> oasis

  • beautiful song

  • No possible man.....

    Oasis could never have made an album like the legendary "PSYCHOCANDY"

    Excuseme but.....OASIS is shit.....

  • I agree some way. Oasis is just a commercial version of them. Yeah, songwriting of Oasis is a bit different but main idea was similar (at first): mix guitar noise with pop melodies. Oasis became more and more commercial while Mary Chain didn`t want follow the marketing aspect.

    Jesus & Mary Chain is original and others are just... yo know.

  • feckin brilliant....................

  • one of my favourites songs ever

  • One of their best. when they keep it "kickin´back".

  • These guys are the Godfathers of Shoegaze!

  • heroin is safer than alcohol? wow, that's some rationalizing you have going on there. they both kill you, smack just does it a lot faster. neither are "safe" or "safer". i suppose you were joking anyway.. well, you got me!

  • Safer death perhaps? I must say it's so sad to watch heroin-addicts, and the way their families suffer.

  • the gods of drug pop

  • anyone in sweden who knows where i can get the cd, darklands?

  • JB HiFi in Brisbane have all JAMC albums for 10 bux each

  • Going to the Arena show or V Festival??

  • aw. this is a nice song. makes me want to watcha full house montage.

  • " i mean, no real interaction with the crowd (like they ever did anyway) and it all seemed to be a paid performance. nothing else to really report. "

    They've always played like this. I saw them in 1987 toruing this album (Darklands) and they played exactly the same way. They caused a riot back in 1984 when they played a 10 minute set.

  • A riot? Back in when? yeah Im sure that riot was hard core.

  • Yeah, the famous riot was at the North London Polytechnic. About $10,000 damage and 4 people sent to hospital. You can find clips from it on YouTube.

  • : )

  • PURE CLASS

  • best JAMC album.

  • music this good should be mandatory

  • this is a wonderful song.. it reminds me of hanging out on the balcony of my aunt's in paris..

    isn't this song about oral sex? ;-o

  • saw these guys at coachella. they pretty much mailed in their set, but i still love them.

  • what do you mean mailed?

  • well, they played their 'hits' and that's about it. i mean, no real interaction with the crowd (like they ever did anyway) and it all seemed to be a paid performance. nothing else to really report. weezer did the same thing the year they played. it's just something you notice when you have been to alot of concerts in your life. the band is not really 'there'. and don't get me started and the whole scarlet johanson duet thing, ugh...

  • k. scarlet has nice breast though so she can get away with most things. i dunno it just seems the band's personality if u ask me. they dont seem the sorta people that would go out and amp up a crowd. more like heroin hits if u ask me

  • hey, there was a time when i really REALLY dug SJ, but she has become hollywood scum (in my opinon)

    and yeah, TJAMC never were the band to go all out and 'kick ass', but when you are giving a return concert at a place such as coachella, it seems reasonable to make it great. oh, i'm also SxE so i wouldn't know about slammin' heroin.

  • What the hell is SxE?

  • it's a short way of writing straight edge. no drugs, no alchol.

  • oh ok, good for you. im more BxM. or bent middle. complete opposite of SxE. well was anyway. no heroin though. just fun stuff.

  • i use to smoke pot in highschool, but got tired of feeling guilty. miss it sometimes when i listen to music. :P

  • yea i had a few tonnes of pot in my day i gave it up too coz it played with my head. still feel the effects from it. still take the odd pill every now n then though. where abouts are you. you seem to be answering pretty quik are we in the same time zone?

  • i'm in new mexico in my dorm. we just got a faster internet recently. i'm supposed to be doing midterm stuff, but instead watching vids and junk on the net. lot's of chris cunningham vids.

  • Primal scream did a good wasted cover of this

  • <3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

  • jesus and the mary chain jim reid forever!!!!!

    legend noise

  • the starting of the song sounded like albert hammond jr's 101.

  • JESUS AND MARY CHAIN FOREVER!

  • lol i used to like these when i were but a wee teenager,lol.liked the cherry one the best off this album

  • Been a fan of theirs since I first heard their music. I can't believe they weren't a megaband in the U.S. They are extremely talented.

  • the jesus and mary chain rocks!

    darklands is a really classic album,and psychocandy.

  • still one of the greatest riffs ever, even without feedback

  • I prefer the album darklands.

  • JAMCH is one of the greates bands ever!!!....one of my fave acts. the album Pshicocandy (1985)is excelent and influential.

    VELVET UNDERGROUND + BEACH BOYS + SUICIDE + SEX PISTOLS + THE CURE

  • lonely teenage summer nights nostalgia

  • The Jesus & Mary Chain are probably the most underrated band of all time.

  • The most underrated band of all time must be Howard Devoto's Magazine. Fabulous songs and performances but the band split up early due to lack of financial success. There are several clips available on YouTube if you don't know Magazine and are interested.

  • this song has a great message don´t you think?

  • Not a great message, but a very true testimonial I think. We feel like wanting to die several times maybe, but in the end, we don't want it for real. I've been there.

  • so for me it´s a great message because tells that sometimes it´s so hard dealing with our own emotions....but life is a roller coaster darling...

  • This is oure music of the 80´s.The young people of today must be shamed in 20 years about there music.Todays music is only trivial or very agressive.

    I´m glad to share my youth with such kind of music.

  • The art of doing a lot within a simple format. Mesmeric.

  • you think like me do you love jmc? helo!

  • That was so good.

  • hy! my english is poor, i love jmc!and you? by!

  • meu inglês tb é ruim

  • jmc is awesome! i love them too! i am an esl teacher teaching english in china. where are you from?

  • I m from argentina... you? give you mail! great aprilskies!
