Concrete Blonde - Still in Hollywood

[p4horror]

Great song! I remember this song for the 80s flick The Hidden.

[Thebearcat66]

great fuckin tune

[Psychedelic925]

Joan Jett meets Chrissy Hynde

[ronhelf]

very Jules et Jim...

[dalaire]

They don't make it like this anymore, not by a long shot.

[halleyhobbie01]

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU FOR RE-POSTING THIS! I love this version, but it was hard to find until now. :)

[Thurbane316]

Great track. So mad at myself I didn't see them on their last tour of Australia...

[markcesmat]

Silverlake.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[ABTE67]

quality rock and roll

[DanBell47]

Kicks Ass.

[miamagic]

love it love it love it

[rossmacw]

I heard it in an old Birdhouse skatebaords video... Heath Kirchart I believe when he was just a tyke.

[gbonkers666]

Actually, I heard this song in a movie called The Hidden with Kyle McLaughlin, I think in 1989

[splntr1965]

Quite possibly the best BAND that ever-was.

[Thebearcat66]

@splntr1965 LOL

[RokenFilms]

Yeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! fucking good concrete blonde!

[Hacker73]

Why do the greatest bands have to be SO under-rated and so under-appreciated? Simple: the Industrial "Music" SHITSTEM is ruled by PERVERT PSICHOPATICS who only want sell ROTTEN UGLY SHIT FAKES such as Madonna and Gaga and they want made us all a bunch of billions of MOROMS with NO sense of good taste for so good things and REAL TALENTED ARTISTS such as Concrete Blonde, Public Image, Bolshoi, Alphaville, Irene Cara, Sinead O'Connor, Kim Carnes, Sandra, Laura Branigan, Randy Bush, Suzi Quatro...

[brokenboy07]

introduced to this band through old surf videos, still see Occy and Sunny Garcia going off to little lefts when i hear this.

[tooninoz]

Hell yeah! Me too! The film was a Jack McCoy/Billabong one from '92 called The Green Iguana. Actually, I lost it years ago and only got it off Ebay a couple of months ago. Vanilla Chainsaws, Celibate Rifles... happy days ;)

[brokenboy07]

Thats the one(dont forget Ed Couper as well)Billabong always did the best vids. Pump has a bit of Concrete Blonde as well, God is a Bullet for sure but i think there were more.

[jg61163]

It is so nice to see Harry in the band!!! The best drummer ever!!!

[Hacker73]

My god she is the Joan of Arc of rock

Johnette Napolitano's undeniable voice --- gritty, passionate, honest to a fault.

The best singer .... the best voice of the universe. I LOVE YOU!!!! Johnette Napolitano!!!!!!

[ox1216]

I loveeee this song

[waieke]

do you know my first experience of female punk wAS you.i love you and i have introduced my daughter to the fold. thank you because you grabbed me from shit that could have been. my daughter loves you though, god bless

[RedPanther9]

nice song

[charliedontsurf70]

johnette was in a class by herself!

[sevenguiry]

such a frantic video, but awesome lyrics

[parkdale420]

STILL IN PARKDALE!!LOL

[Hannibu]

Oh yeah! It must have been years since I have last heard this song. It is still great.

But CBs best song is still missing: COLD PART OF TOWN!

[stoptheoutrage]

still in love with harry after all these years...

[PretendImDead]

TRUE PUNK!!

[solwolfpunk]

yesss!

[greenslashpurple]

if i were the side/walk i'd sing to her.

[SkinSinFilms]

I'd just look up her skirt...but then again I'm a perv.

[linkpwnsmario]

the best song X never recorded!

[crazyman1914]

Still like it!

[solwolfpunk]

Johnette kicks fucking ass!

[Undrtruck]

HE doesn't give a fuck, HE'S living under a truck. You know it could've been me, I guess it's just my luck!

[rockkt9r]

I don't give a fuck what you say. This song ROCKS!!!!!

[whitetacoma04]

Chew you up and spit ya out... You heard that man... You made your bed now sleep in it...

[whitetacoma04]

Chew you up and spit ya out... You heard that man... You made your bed now sleep in it...

[SkinSinFilms]

this makes me think of the 'seether' video by Veruca Salt.

[SaltWaterFlush]

Has it been 18 years. GOD I'm old. Saw them back in the late 80's in Va Beach before the war and they rocked. Go tail hooks

[tomterahedrob]

1986!

[roxanne7169]

18 years and nothing has changed....this song is GREAT it was then and it is now

[frictionmaui]

Absolutely the BEst EVER!!! Love it! They were in about three Billabong movies in the late 80's / early 90's and have been my favorite ever since! Thanks for posting!

"Nothing to gain and nothing to Lose"

[brokenboy07]

Agreed, every time I hear this I can see Occy and Sunny Garcia going at it

[mwolf49]

". . .it's 3 am and I'm out walking again. He doesn't give a fuck. .he's living under a truck. It could have been me, just my luck. ." This woman could rock in Concrete Blonde. And, having just turned 50, she's still at it solo. One of the best voices in music. A lot of beautiful work came from those early CB albums.

[davesintampa]

i read an article in R.S. back in 97 or 98 that the cement slab they signed was stolen, anyone have the scoop.

[amberxbrookex16]

Concrete Blonde are awesome!! <3

[MollySawyer]

Wow, I've never heard this version before. The verses are really different from the versions I have on CD and, gulp, cassette. I like it.

[mickd01]

"Still in Hollywood", "True", and "Your Haunted Head" are my favorite Concrete Blonde songs, but they all are great. I think all these songs were on "The Hidden" soundtrack, a sci-fi thriller. One of my favorite bands of the 80's, and their debut CD was the best. Thanks for posting! and yes, Johnette does rock! What a voice. Only other female vocalist I can compare her to is Chrissie Hynde.

[purelypolyester]

Johnette rocks!!!!!!! I love her! Anyone know what she's up to these days?

[TheLooooo]

Johnette is still rockin' amazing as ever!!!! She has a new album out (well, new last spring), "Scarred"... she toured last spring/summer... I had the privelege to see her twice... ABSOLUTELY ****ing AMAZING.... seeing her perform live is truly a life-changing event.... SHE IS THE BEST!!!!!

[raidacaipo]

i remember this shit in the ravers video part for andrew reynolds..

[Phil1stalk]

SHAZAM!

[ABTE67]

the best rock`n roll female voice of all times

so much better que janis joplin

Linda Perry ¡¡¡SUCK¡¡¡

[ABTE67]

the best new wave

[Evanescence50]

it's not new wave it's older pop-punk i guess, it's a little more up-beat than post-punk

[charliedontsurf70]

actually its labeled "the original goth hollywood vampire"band!!!!!!

[DickVain41]

I don't think so bro 45 Grave, Christian Death were around long before Concrete Blonde

[ABTE67]

1986

great band

[hardtraveler]

Awesome!...never seen this video or heard this version...sounds like it predates the version I have (SIH comp) Seen CB a number of times over 20 years or so...and Johnette just this summer...still as on fire as ever!

[cloom1]

is that mojo nixon's voice in the background voices???????????

[Wabsirba]

I've tried to hear his voice in the backgrounds, and I just don't hear it. I'd be surprised if it was.

[markoati]

kurva jo szám.

[BerlinFan82]

Great tune, angry chicks are hot.

[solwolfpunk]

yeah!!

[davesintampa]

her name is Johnette Napolitano

and she can give me a spankin any time she wants.

[broadcastemotion]

best voice ever!

[tomterahedrob]

UNDRKNOWN is right!i felt that waywhen i 1st heard it in 86.STILL now underrated.why is it great stuff like this doesnt get the attention it deserves?sleazy music business i gues not what but who you know shit.

[astonsfan]

cause she not half naked and blonde!!! she rocks!!!but not a tramp etc.and the words of her songs are all that!!!

[carolineRN]

love this song

[alecjennex]

What album this from? I loved Bloodletting

[schnippenwippen]

album is entitled "concrete blonde" 1986/IRS

[tomterahedrob]

butt ass rocks!!!a true woman rocker.deserves more attention.underrated!1st saw this in 86 too

[everoutlaw]

this video made me fall in love with johnette napolitano... dating myself. saw it the first time on mtv in '86 - maybe. at midnite... she rocks.

[elephantstone67]

wow this song catched me thanx top a video of skateboarding(sorry cant remember the label) Ive beeen hearing it since then back in 93 or 94..super melodic hardcore punk!!!

[MOTOPAC]

I used to like this tune way back when.

[bravestwoman]

First off, lemme say - I love CB. But I know why they're still in hollywood - can you say heroin? That broun soun sure do get around.

[astonsfan]

can you say MTV and the need to show blonde chicks that are 100 lbs. wet!!! and are in the news for some shit!!

[SoundtrackBand]

This song with others by them is in the Hidden, and is funny as hell. This song rules and is way underknown.

She has pipes, too. She screams fantastic. The production on this is totally up to snuff. i predict this song will be famous 100 years from now, maybe even more than their boring contemporaries the RHCP.

The funny thing about this is I dont live in Hollywood, and I feel the same about my town....HAHA.

[moparmonster1965]

This version is a hell of a lot longer than the one on their best by the same name. I don't think it has quite the frantic energy of the other (probably later) version.

[palpontiac89]

Does anyone Know what Johnettes up to these days. Her website ( the CB site )was not active last I looked. Think i read somewhere that she has/had some kind of gallery in L.A.

[solwolfpunk]

She is touring. i just saw her in Boston a few months ago. She blogs on myspace.

[palpontiac89]

My Favorite Blonde song and their best video also. Thanks for getting it on . Just love the street scenes and the word that rhymes with Truck

[solwolfpunk]

I love punk rock Johnette!

[FandangoSpears]

This song is timeless!

[Arrojo5]

Wonderful song. Thank you.

[flysbnite]

awesome been looking for this for awhile, thx alot bia0

[PeacefulTemple]

Would someone please put up "Roses Grow"???

[jellentu]

Please. the live version if possible? excellent song.

[danleehagar]

I remember seeing this on "Night Flight" and going out the next day to buy the L.P.

[Cynicalgurl]

I was in Texas Records (now defunct) when this video was recorded. Long live Texas records! Long Live Concrete blonde!
