@Mootageri He looks kinda like i looked back in the days or was i trying to be like him?lol
Agreed amazing singer,saw them many times. What a powerful set of lunges fueled that voice,he could/can get a note out longer and more powerful that anyone, i have ever heard..,..
@punkylass1 ......Agreed.! his voice was amazing and if Johnny Rotten was the voice of the 70's rebellious youth then Kirk's was the voice of the 80's.!
Flock of Seagulls!!??.......you obviously have no fucking clue about SoD!?!........to compare them with one shit wonders!?!.......just shows your ignorance!! RIDICULOUS!!!
This song holds so many happy memories of my dear friend Ant (RIP) .. always playin it in the car ... even played it at his funeral ... Miss him loads even after almost 6 years
Yeah, no kidding mate - there are bands out there who could do justice to this track musically, the vocals might be something of a challenge though - suggestions? (Imagine Blondie doing it circa '78!)
September Spear of Destiny "Singles" Tour - do up your quiff and get your moshing shoes on: 10th-The Charlotte -- Leicester 11th-Academy- London 12th-Academy-Oxford 14th-Rios-Leeds 16th-Academy-Birmingham 17th-Academy-Bristol 18th-Corporation-Sheffield 19th-Concorde 2-Brighton 23rd-Academy-Liverpool 25th-Academy-Manchester 27th-Barfly-Glasgow 28th-Cabaret Voltaire-Edinburgh
im 44 and was at that gig in the barras fuckin awsome seen them also in several years later in
a rock club at the clydeside the broomielaw then a couple of years back or at least kirk brandon at carling acadamy they gave it 100% missed them in 08 didnt know they were touring ,iv had the pleasure of having a few drinks with them on 1 occation nice guys,,
The first time i heard this song in 1984 it just blew me away, such a soulfull voice with a great backing riff, recently found my vinyl single got the turntable reneedled and it still sounds brilliant.
This was a time that could have broke them out as really a big band, I think Kirk Brandon became ill though and had to rest for a long time so the hype was lost...
i would like to see a modern version of this at an open mic. sung by a black woman, in a alessi black dress, preferably without a bra and of course, heels.
