*Top Of The Pops 70´s*-#14. Gary Glitter-Rock ´n´Roll

[ChrisHenniker]

Glitter may be a despicable scrote and a filthy paedo, but I still respect him as a musician. He influenced a lot of British punk, post-punk, new wave, Britpop and Hair Metal. Where would Morrissey or Oasis be without him? I'm more into 60's garage, but I think he took something from that.

[chrisdavid4026]

loved this when i was 10.....still do..i love this and many others of his songs...glitter did wrong yes but i loved his songs as a youngster and nobody messes with my chidhood memories.i take only the good from it.

[globulant99]

@chrisdavid4026  This is one of my childhood memories as well, none has the right to destroy them. Yeah he later turned out to be a peado dirt bag but that's not our fault. we didn't choose the time we grew up in.

[ukkfayooyay]

The lyrics to this song are completely unnecessary. Only the word "hey" is necessary.

[pixiee63]

He looks like that guy who kept the girl in the pit from Silence Of The Lambs.....

[phxxr650r]

What are the lyrics to this song? lol

[Terramax]

@phxxr650r

I know the first line is 'Rock n Roll', but I can't remember the rest...

[geofbrit59]

Long live their music, HEY!

[asd36f]

It doesn't get any more visceral and raw than this!

[DoctorStealthy]

@asd36f Absolutely Spot On! Pure R'n'B Viscera - never ever been bettered. Let's hope he gets some more out soon..

[blozzy22]

Two drummers....what a luxury!

[GiannisKJ19]

Is that Rock??lol...a band without guitars...and 2 drummers??? hahahaha..and a glam version of elvis who only sings: Hey..and rock n' roll.If that song is rock music I'm an alien...

[painter268]

@GiannisKJ19 yES YOUARE

[blasketboy]

Check out Father Brendan Smith, same .

[thesteveus]

@chelsea63805

You're probably too old, and I'm guessing you're not Vietnamese..........

[sealping]

Great track!!

[joannalexus1]

I was about 5 when this was out just the right age for Gary!!!! fucking perv!

[cheapcape]

[paulgaddshelpinghand]

one hell of an artist ,certainly a hit with the young ladies

[leamingtonlad]

FUCKING PERVERT HE NEEDS TO BE KILLED AND SO DO ALL THE OTHER SEX CASES

[cheapcape]

@leamingtonlad false accusing faggot

[matthewc4e]

bunch of poofs!

[uglybassplayer17]

[hihats]

howlin for you took the groove straight away from this

[garyperkins07]

[ghodium]

@garyperkins07 no it was shot a while back love, they're adults now

[sledgehead2000]

he should have his balls cut off and donate his royalties to his victims

[PunkBallerina0723]

tnx so much for this amazing quality video!

[Loyoyo]

great song, pedophile douche

[LordOfTheBored]

I really like the lyrics of that song.

[MrMarcusBoii]

At the end of the day yea he is a Pedo But I still Respect His Music and allways Will His Music Will Be in My Heart forever But Yea He is a Sick Man And He will never be like this again

[MegaMusicman34]

this prick should be hung up from the balls and left to rot in hell

[MrJoeCramer]

maybe gary glitter isnt someone who i would give my child to. but i would have no problem to give this song to her........itz still a real cool one. and it reminds me on autoscooters

[skeptyky]

nos meilleures années the best GARY YEARRRRRRRRRRRRR !!

[chrisdavid4026]

just take the positives from this song....

[Feisty1967]

When I was 6 my elder brother had a cassette recorder with a microphone and I spoke into the microphone, it's Gary Glitter time! I cringe at that memory, I was a 6 year old girl at the time.

[xrduke10]

i love this song, never get tired of hear it!! yeah!!

[MrMotownmanny]

Heard all around every NBA arenas college stadiums ballparks.

[MrRockabillyrebel1]

fucking child abuser ..NONCE..

[MrRockabillyrebel1]

fucking child abusing NONCE.

[glennirish]

He freaked me out as a kid,,,

[angel612010]

nice!!!

[Feisty1967]

I like the way the guitarists give up all pretence of miming and raise their hands in the air when they are supposed to be strumming. I am a woman btw and also a mother and I think what he did to young girls is sick and depraved, but I also used to be a fan, so I'm torn both ways.

[eduardoisland]

@Feisty1967: Yeah, I think Gary G has torn few kids both ways in his life.... anally and vaginally.

[lewisner]

Unfortunately although he's a paedo his music rocks.You have to deal with it or ignore it.The Glitter Band never did anything wrong.

[rus524]

come on this twat is a peadophile this site should be stopped. he should be killed.

[xrduke]

i´m her for the song, what he did .. let the court to decide... i hope he get what he deserves... THE SONG IS GREAT!!

[rus524]

couldnt give a fuck what version it is. the version i would like to see is the one where the fat ugly peado cunt is hanging by a rope. fucking maggot, he is scum ugly fat fucking cunt

[hayabusabart]

@rus524 hey.. shut the fuck up. if you dont like the song dont comment on it.. twat

[airager]

This version is not part 1 or part 2!

[hayabusabart]

@airager this version is definately part 2.. the HEY song!! brill

[airager]

@hayabusabart Sorry, but part 2 is an intrumental apart from the HEY, they only sing ROCK AND ROLL in part 1 but without the HEY! Honestly, I bought the single nearly 40 years ago and loved it.

[hayabusabart]

@airager HEY!!! you are absolutely correct.. just checked out my singles in the loft too

[airager]

@hayabusabart I think it is GG singing live over part 2, perhaps?

[sallyfieldrequired]

gary glitter peado, what next, alvin stardust serial killer?

[trickykid73]

Ice hockey rocks !!!

[MirraSyren]

Once can't deny that they don't like "him" if they like the music! The music is so much of his spirit & personality, it's impossible to just like Gary Glitter's music without liking "Paul Gadd". If you have to think about what it is you like about "Gary Glitter" music, you'll probably conclude it's "Paul Gadd".

[hayabusabart]

is that Tony Blackburn (black arse) in the green felt cap with the orange feather in the crowd? at 1.11? 

[crmaiden]

dirty pedo

[teflonmagnet]

what a poet.

just listen to those sublime lyrics.

a true balladeer if there ever was one. i mean, how do you come up with inspired shit like that and work into a song?

[teflonmagnet]

is this an sctv parody or the real thing?

[bertmustin]

He looks like Benny Hill

[teflonmagnet]

@bertmustin that is benny hill

[hayabusabart]

Gary Glitter was the king of Glam! I love all the music and the icon that was "Gary Glitter" sadly Paul Gadd (the real person) has turned out to be right asshole.. such a pity

[aberkirk1]

great rocker ,we dont know the facts .

[aberkirk1]

garry glitter was no different to the rest of the pervs (british) that went to poor country's to have sex with young girls . judge not unless you know the facts.

[Feisty1967]

I loved Gary Glitter when i was 6 years old. He would have shagged me then, sadly now I'm 42 he wouldn't touch me with a barge pole.

[bigfootskitty]

@Feisty1967 now THAT just came out WRONG! ..."I loved Gary Glitter when I was six.......Really? ..no kidding? .... How Often?, Film at eleven! Just kidding though, it just kinda sounded funny.

[bzabra]

is that degenerate rat bastard still in jail?

[malcstag]

Just think that bulging shiney penis has been fucking little children

[mccaiian1234]

ewwww 1970's british girls... gross

[cwwmediadude]

Hawks Win the Cup !

[leamingtonlad]

was good untill he turned in to a perv

[Trashfished]

What a peice of shit.

[transitcoffin]

@Trashfished better than the shit music of today good old times :)

[Trashfished]

@transitcoffin I agree The music sucks today but glitter likes kiddie porn.

[paulthepill]

great sound....shame about the kiddie fiddling fucker.

[cwferguson221]

sledghead the band had some of that young quim to . I dont think you have ever been to a back stage party , and for sure the tour bus . Chuck Berry used to get the young ones in his bus and ......

[jager18903]

Yeah...That is it after all : Attitude first then talent

[Milan1959]

Gary Glitter and 70s :-)

[NapFloridian]

I love the Lyrics... Rock'n'Roll.... over and over... back then it was more about the sound and the outfit then the song itself

[sledgehead2000]

forget about glitter what about the rest of the band. they molested no body yet people dis their music because of their sick f--ked up singer. long live the glitter band

[jager18903]

He was talented performer. Doesen't mean he can't be grit-eating,scum-suckin' baby raper too.

I'll bet they real kind to him in a Vietnamese prison

him being an Anglo and all .

[maz3705]

@sledgehead2000 YE POEPLE FORGET THEY WHERE A GREAT GLAM BAND WITH YOU 100%

[scotsburd63]

Great stuff!

Just love that tinny /synthesized guitar sound which is unique to the Glitter Band !!

[BritAU2TH]

so thats where all me mams tin foil went!

[TumblingDice1972]

great music,but in person he is a monster

[sharona666]

Totally cool performance! Glitter rocked!!

[sledgehead2000]

f--king awesome track though

[sledgehead2000]

[JAYROX1969]

Fair point.

[kieferstar]

@sledgehead2000 haha Nonce :P You king

[michaelclarke18]

[AdolfBreshnev]

So many words. Don't know how he could possibly remember this ditty.

[suepeth]

cool music!!!...too bad he was not able

to control his evil monsters.

[Fleshcucumber1]

E Gadd it's "Fairy Glitter"...hahaha

[Fleshcucumber1]

yeah,what HE said...!!!

[Fleshcucumber1]

he sounded like cats getting stepped on...lol...eh,wat

[bclairerd]

But the music is still here.love 70's music is the BEST.

[krisscross44]

We had a 3 day week, electricity cuts, fuel shortages and the less said about the clothes the better, but what a great time was had.

[mik1641]

If I didn't know better,I'd swear I was watching Austin Powers LOL!

[jager18903]

Over the top Glam Rock .

[Gruntelfluk]

And exactly what is NOT over the top nowadays... or should I say what is ORIGINAL?

[jager18903]

Now I didn't say he wasn't original . Nobody EVER sounded like Gary Glitter .

[Gruntelfluk]

Point taken buddy :)

[raspberry479]

i would have given my eye teeth to wear clothes like that in the 70s.

[support1412]

Umpa umpa heej ! i tak dalej

[Gruntelfluk]

Those were the days ..when the UK RULED world music trends ...!

[linasmnt]

But thees days gone :(

[starstarstar42]

Charlie Manson, He May of Done some bad things, But His Music Will Never Die

[MrMarcusBoii]

He May of Done some bad things But His Music Will Never Die

[kimratrockmetaleirof]

total glliter ...cool =D

[TheDebdens]

True, they will probably find something on MJs computer, the truths coming out bit by bit. Love Garys music, I grew up in the 70s era, you cannot take away your teen memories which were good. ROCK N ROLL X

[debbiek1000]

Gary was the best, met him loads of times, lovely bloke, great memories of the 70's. Hope he can make a comeback sometime, there are plenty of fans out here!!!

[po58dvn]

A SAD LOSS OF GARY GLITTER FROM OUR COMMUNITY AND WEEKLY MEETINGS.......

the kiddy fiddlers touch up group...09.

[fuzzyhair321]

how did the guitarist string that note

[UltraBlue36]

First ever record I bought...AWESOME!

[jimmybrashaw]

theres only one glitter .rock on GG

[brittleboy23]

y r people giving your comment a bad comment thumbs up 2 me those others wid the thumbs down r all gary glitters wat a sick world we live in

[smezzie09]

wots with the blockfooter shoes an the chest wig ? lol

[COCONUT202]

LOL Nice

[miisu]

Great song.

[Glamking1]

I am so surprised they showed the full performance clip and but Glam Rock 1 had that cut out til the beginning of that very song in 1988.

[JAYROX1969]

Respect to ARTE, einsfestival have got no balls, like him or not Glitter was an important part of the early 70s music scene, my friend, still hope einsfestival show 16/11/72!

[Glamking1]

Yep JAYROX, i have got the full copy of Christmas 1972 unedited with Glitter and i watched it on the day before EinsFestival aired it and give a respect to ARTE, they showed the Rolling Stones clip aswell and they did edit out due to copyright problems and which i have the full copy besides unedited from UK Gold.

[Brraandi]

Gary Glitter. sounds like a Queer Name anyway

[unigateman]

I agree its bad what he did to the kids, but I am here for the music, maybe his royalties should be used to support some of his victims

[BLUEBOY009007]

THE BEST

[maney2001]

Well i think if he was lead singer in the Who he would still be singing today.How is Pete Townsend getting on with the book he was researching???I'm still waiting for it to be published!

[elan4872]

Dead right. Derek Longmuir is another who still features regularly on music vids with the Rollers despite being a paedophile.

[waystedkiss]

Yea, but Pete's not admitted or been convicted of anything ! BIG differance.

[kabogga]

Didn't he once record a single with a bunch of children who played violins?

I think it was called something like, Touched By Your Innocence: Gary Glitter featuring The Kiddy Fiddlers! ;-)

[Gilesfly]

For those of us that lived with his music whilst growing up this man was as much a hero as elvis in the 50s and the beatles in the sixties.Surely the best thing would be to take out your anger on the evil people that runthe internet kiddie porn sites. tho Glitter bashing is easier than taking on the russian mafia and their ilk.

[Sinkthepink95]

he was kept in a prison down the road from me

[Foziajungle]

Gliiters songs were so good but now he's

a sad loser.

[DBD34GS]

The #1 song thats played at sporting events.

[steelblue58]

not anymore, its been banned by many sports leagues.

[JAYROX1969]

Often our idols fall from grace, i'll remember him this way and the music.

[webbusiness4u]

classic song, in the 70's & 80's I was big fan, still like his music, but feel guilty playing his music. Which is a shame.

[GrahamLondonUK]

I agree with your opinion completely. I have to separate Gary Glitter the paedophile from Gary Glitter the entertainer.

[bigbuck1976]

dirty bastard

[DJStreetRocker16]

haha nice hair.

[DJStreetRocker16]

this song is a rock anthem!!!!! i luv it!!! we play it in my band

[godwhyisthistaken]

wow i cant belive gary glitter is a pedophile.

cool song

[redspecialguy]

yes everything hes done should be distroyed

[godwhyisthistaken]

okay... lol

[hoffmann9471]

Grosse Rock Hymne. Ist durch sein Sch...ss - Verhalten überall auf dem Index und wird wegzensiert, was auch Mist ist.

Mein älterer Bruder kannte ihn ; noch als Paul Raven durch Norddeutschland tingelnd.

War eigentlich ein grosser Mann im Musikgeschäft und als Komponist..... schade alles

[Didueva]

Great drums

[garyglitters]

great man great song

[sandrastephens58]

Great song, but definitely not a great man!!!

[chuggachuggawoowoo]

How do you figure a convicted and admitted pedophile is a "great man"?

[garyglitters]

hes a great man makes me proud to be british hes the king of glam

[chuggachuggawoowoo]

I see...and the fact that he's an admitted and convicted pedophile is alright with you? You don't mind that he has had sex with 7 year-olds. That doesn't tarnish his image in your mind? That's the kind of man who makes you "proud to be British"? You're kidding, right?

[garyglitters]

no not kidding excuse the pun hes the best

[ExtremeWetDream]

PDFile

[Glamking1]

Ive got this performance on my Glam Rock VHS rip which comes from my DVD. but i good to see this again without the Glam Rock intro!

[JCVCITY]

Strictly spraking of course this isn't Rock n roll part 2, which has no lyrics apart from "hey", but part 2 with the lyrics "rock n roll" added from the last half of part 1.

[HisWestiness]

great quality! love it!

[Bluevelvetglove]

Yes- the original is DVBTV format in high resolution!

I´m pleased you like it!
