  • c est la chanson préférée de jenna whouuhw

  • Fresh & Connected..

  • ALLELBOWS Set me!

    

  • everytime i hear this i think of all the ladies i treated well n left ha

  • This was "my dreaming about boys" song in high school. Two other girls and myself used to sit on top of the hood of a friend's Karmann Ghia and

    smoke grass and crank this song.

  • @TheMeanpeoplesuck Direct from the legendary Paul Collins himself: 'The fourth guy was an original member of The Nerves, Pat Stangl. He was a chilhood friend of Jack Lee's and they had both come down to the Bay Area together from Alaska.'

  • Who is the fourth guy in the some of the pictures? I though the Nerves were a trio.

  • This seems to have influenced 'Hope' by the Descendents.

  • Every time I hear this song and see this slideshow, I just think to myself how damn dumb and boring everything is nowadays... I missed the whole show.

  • one of the best power pop bands <3

  • Great Stuff !

    Thanks to YouTube I was able to hear these Songs !

    I Loved the Beat and Plimsouls and Didn't even Know that They played in the same Band at One time as the Nerves

  • sure they we're retro for the time like almost all the power pop so called was back then--whats great is that like garage punk a decade or so earlier, this genre didn't even know what it was when it was at it's best. The Nerves we're rare.

  • Genius! All the best songs are under 2.00.

  • This is really good stuff. I would claim this as an influence on my band's work, but I just found out about them today! Playing it over and over in my office!

  • Great song !! Lol 

  • If it's so fab being young why are you listening to old music..........cos your's is crap ha ha

  • I'm proud to say that I own a copy on vinyl of their only album, which I bought in the mid-80's.

  • My favorite epoch in the evolution of rock music starts here.

  • I know of the Nerves.I had their first EP way back in 1977 or 1978 way before you ever heard them or were probably born.They were OK a bit like the Monkeys, a beatles rip off.Where are they now!

  • @megaEDWIN3

    Wow...Congratulations old man!! I bet you feel really special having heard them before everyone else. The fact that you were born before everyone on youtube makes you cool and superior to the rest of us too. Also, comparing The Nerves to the Monkeys proves that you are by far the most knowledgeable man on YT.

  • @megaEDWIN3 You obviously know little of the band.

  • @megaEDWIN3 Monkees- yes!!

  • @megaEDWIN3

    Nah, these guys are great.

  • <3.

  • This band was great. They just fell victim to rock fashion, which at that time in L.A. was all about no talent boneheads contorting and spazzing on stage while screaming crap about how they were better than everybody else 'cause they were 17 and angry.

  • @nickystartup: It was genuine.

  • Lee's voice is irrisistibly sexy

  • @MagicMan7645 That's actually Peter Case on the lead vocal there.

  • fuck fuck fuck

    i love love love thisssss

    

  • great band! powerpop kings!

  • wunderschön LOVEVA

  • Paul Collins for ever

  • The Nerves were SUCH a great band. Years ahead of their time! The EP that Hangin On the Telephone came from was a real classic, featuring When You Find Out and other classics. Some people thought Blondie wrote this song, and sure, they did a great cover, but Jack Lees Nerves were real new wave innovators of the early 70s. Listen to this track and the heart and soul in Jacks vocals.

  • This is reminiscent of 60s British Invasion rock, ya think?

  • sounds like some band named the beagles or something.

  • Awesome tune!

  • Just bought a 'best of' cd from Paul Collins himself on ebay. Half of it is live or demo versions and it's very nice. Makes me wish I saw them in concert.

  • Guys chords are: (as the song is played)

    Into Am-F-C-Am which is same for start of verse. Then you still want me but I say goodbye (Am-F-C-Am) you say you're waiting for just the right one etc (-Dm-G-Em7-Bb). Note: Em7 is played as a barre chord at 7th fret. Back to verse.

    For the part I'll be gone when you find out etc.... F-E7-Am- I'll be gone when you find out.....Bb-A-Dm-F-E7. Hope that helped?

  • Jam bands could learn so much from this......less than two minutes and out.......beautiful

  • So Zombies, it's fucking great.

  • i always liked them a little more then the zombies ... then again i think i always held a grudge against them for having a rad name.

  • after a 10 year dormancy rock and roll in its purist form was oficially reborn in 1976with groups like ramones, devo and the nerves in los angeles. these 3 kids sold this 45 at record swap meets in la and later headlined for the weirdos, garage punk will never die, this is a great tribute with great photos

  • I can't figure out the chords??? help anyone?

  • did you ever figure out the chords?

  • not really... the verse is Am & Dm but I don't know thr rest.

  • really? i got Am and F for the verse.

  • That little 3x is slight miscalculation, I was counting from the intro. You'll hear that in each verese that progression happens once.

    Peace!

  • Am F C F Am F C Am Dm G Em Bb

    thats definitely the verse and bridge

  • I think it's just Am-F over and over again until the last chord, which is C.. then to the "you're saying you're waiting for just the right one" Dm-G etc etc bit. I really don't hear that it goes to C any earlier than that.

  • bass might be different but the guitar does go to C. Am F C F, Am F C Am

  • i like this song :)

  • yah, sweet garage sound they got....dig it.

  • coooooool!

  • they were "the one (s)"

  • Great stuff. These guys, dB's, Smithereens, Flamin' Groovies, Plimsouls.....:)

  • Throw Badfinger and Dwight Twilley in there and I'm right with you.

  • Awesome

  • man, sounds like beatles there's a place era-great stuff, thanks

  • Love the little Dm G Em Bb, got a kind of garagy-nuggets feel.

  • Paul Collins is the best - no disrespect to Case or Lee.

  • fantastic song!!!

  • what is the chord progression on the chorus??

  • Every song on their EP is magnificent it's a goddamn shame this band didn't put out AT LEAST one full-length.

  • @ftwelve12 a real damn shame!

  • @ftwelve12 It really is! The EP is such a tease! x

  • best band ever,but why they made only "one way ticket"??!!!

    i'm addicted...

  • OLE!!!

  • WOW. (YouTube truly has it all now ...!)

    Even the best-known Nerves photos are still quite rare. This video slideshow increased the number of existing ones known to me by a factor of ~20. Somebody's a longtime fan, as I doubt this stuff's on ebay!

    ... Anyhow, thanks VERY much for posting!

  • So good

  • Finally! Thank you for posting this song! A classic.

  • "You're Gonna Miss Me?"... pues toma. jejejeje

    besos

  • best song ever

  • An urgent,minor chord melodic,tension-filled nugget.Whew! One of the greats.

  • an awesome, little power-pop ditty!

  • Great Job! Where did you find some of those pictures? I've never seen most of them. And do you know who the "fourth Nerve" is? I always thought they were a trio from start to finish.

  • Holy crap. Finally. What a great song this is.

  • a perfect song.

    hugely influential to me.

    thanks!

  • Such a great song. If only the Nerves would've stayed together, the world would be a different (and better) place....

    We'd be hearing catchy Powerpop songs on our 80s radio stations instead of Phil Collins and Hair Metal.

  • Why do you think they didn't stay together? Not because of commercial success. People are generally listening to crap and Radio Stations will play it. It is so sad.

  • Yes it is, Paul Collins instead of Phil Collins. Jack Lee instead of Tommy Lee...

  • A classic.

  • Worlds best song! Thanks you so much for posting. Love the nerves

  • One of my top 10 favorite songs ever - thanks for posting this!
