[unibombersmurf]

I love Maclean and Maclean! Saw them live in Ottawa in the 90's funniest show ever!

[bilgeratjim]

Thanks! I still wear my McLean&McLean / Fuckya ball cap to special events.

[oldachm]

Dad or Uncle gave me two of their old LP's years ago. I love busting these out when were drinking in Halifax; no one has ever heard of them.

[emo19761976]

[rorqc]

[jdonovan1970]

I saw them at Carleton University in 1989 and I can't remember ever laughing so hard in my life before or since!

[neilyoungster]

@jdonovan1970  I was at that show! Was it at Oliver's?

[jdonovan1970]

I saw them at Carelton University in 1989 and I can't remember ever laughing so hard in my life before or since!

[racefan32]

Classic Canadian Comedy, I saw these guys a the 'Old Forge" in Victoria.

way too funny.

They even made them self laugh.

[CurtShmurt]

I remember my older brother brought this home on a cassette when I was like eleven and I listened the hell out of it. Love it! RIP Gary.

[nosalmonbinloggin]

Does anyone which album had these two talented fellows doing "Hockey Night in Canada, Dick Irvin and Danny Galivan? Great stuff. Thanks.

[Downfacingdog]

I'm looking for "Bitter reality".

[DrailKoekoek]

thanks for 'taking the O out of country"

[cl033149]

Thanks for posting this! Takes me back. I wonder if my memory is correct & the song "F*@K Ya" is on this album? One of my all time favs by these guys! If so, would you consider posting it? Very hard to find it anywhere!

Thanks again,

Freddy K

[shaimon2002]

`"F..k Ya" was released in '81 on the album "Locked Up For Laughs". Another great album by these 2 lovable bafoons...lol.....couple good old Canadian boys!

Hope this helps.

[shaimon2002]

Search album titles on Ebay under comedy to find them all......just got CD for Locked Up & Toilet!

How many Albums did they do besides 4 mentioned?

[LynX1969]

hahaha! Thanks rexcat for posting this! I have Suck Their Way to the Top /Take the O' Out of Country and just bought a USB-Vinyl system so as soon as I figure out how to use it I'll upload some more songs!

[rexcat]

A turntable you plug in your computer, you mean? Mine doesn't have that feature yet I can plug my stereo amp into the computer with audio cable. Records great too, I'm happy to say.

Did you get a copy of Audacity with it on a mini CD rom?

[LynX1969]

Yeah (turntable), but no to the Audacity - it comes with some kind of software on CD though (haven't opened the box yet actually!) - I'm pretty excited about it, just need to find some time to start digitizing! (might take me a while. sigh.)

[goeland70]

Where in the world can i find any of their stuff, unfortunately my " cassettes" are all long gone

Hey Dave,

Thanks for your e-mail. It's always great to hear from fans. Lots of memories of bars across Canada - some of them not such good ones!

If you want any of our other CD's I now have all of them available including the one I produced after Gary's death. They were re-released last year. Our old record company went bankrupt and tied up all our production for four or five years which was a drag. Anyway, you can get them all again - and from me. I'll even autograph them for you!

[myzolika]

Yep You're right, zedwolf, It Was in mid seventies maybe 77 or so, I was there too,

Indeed the mobile studio was recording that nignt and I had the table (for 8) in front of the stage, and at around 11 ish burton cummings dropped in and since we had a couple of spare seats we let him sit in.

What a party. The gary and blair bros., also played at the TUBE the Skline hotel, and the best of all the Colonial tavern on

yonge street. What times. Jeff from Toronto.

[zedwerewolf]

I believe this was recorded at a nightclub (The Chimney) inToronto back in the early 70's. I was there that night with my (then) wife.

[rexcat]

I believe you're correct although I did try looking for the information on the record jacket and the label.

Here's another bit of info I found out from the label: This album was produced by Skip Prokop who was the lead singer for Lighthouse.

[rogerstill71]

@rexcat Skip Prokop was the drummer. Bob McBride was the lead singer

[TheMiester1831]

@zedwerewolf i have a hat from that night did you get one and or still have it?

[eyevocal]

All their albums have been released on CD in Canada, first by Attic, and now by Unidisc.

Drail: The album you're wondering about is their third one, the live/studio split Suck Their Way to the Top/Take the "O" Out of Country.

[rexcat]

Thanks for the correction. Don't really feel like doing a re-upload but still thanks anyway.

[eyevocal]

You're welcome. I'm not saying you should redo the video. Maybe you could edit your description of the video to include the info, so it'll still be there when my comments roll off the front page.

[rexcat]

You could watch again. I added an a annotation. First time I've ever done that too and it was successful I'm happy to say.

[DrailKoekoek]

Flashback! I have Toilet rock and another (I've seen pubic hair, long distance daddy, dolly parton's tits, etc.) somewhere on vinyl. They belonged to my parents and I discovered them when I was 12 (29 now. I need to find them. Can anyone name the other one I speak of?

[sunrisecove2]

"Taking the "o" out of country" pretty sure

[roblau004]

comming from a born and bred albertan..... gary and blair were the pride of glace bay N.S a canadian phenom.... post more please if ya got em....rip they also had burton cummngs do some work on two of thier albums...

[Hounddoggy33]

Yeah, Cummings was Frankie Fontaine (The King Of Genital Rock) on "Bitter Reality" and he helped produce the album as well.

[goldenguy5]

this shit is funny, where can i get me a copy of this shit, lmfao!!!!!

[sugarjackie]

My older bro has this album. I use to listen to this when I was to young to understand.

[MattWardMusic]

I am very good friends with Gary Maclean's sons I wish I could have heard these guys play live! you can hear some of there music too, just google "The Maclean Brothers, Winnipeg"

good tunes!

[gluggheim]

Man...I love these albums! RIP boys!

[wavetar]

These guys have been comedy heroes of mine for 25 years. Me & a buddy found a copy of one of their tapes in the woods behind our subdivision & I've been hooked ever since! Got all their albums. Saw them once in Toronto at Ryerson around 1990 and again in Dartmouth at Penny on the Park around 1994. So glad I got to see them live. God bless boys.

[tazztower44]

not a damn mention of their deaths in eastern canada.we surely are 20 yrs behind the rest of the country.they truley will be missed,in my opinion they are the greatest.RIP BOYS

[mmamitch07]

They hosted Cambrian College Frosh Concert in 1995. I loved it. I also went and saw them at The Edge in Sudbury later that year. They were comic gods to me and my friends.

[brishi69]

Gary & Blair were both great guys to talk with and of course would always make you laff....Seen and met them many times during the 1980's at Barrymore's in Ottawa. They played there many times and a few times with their good friend Burton Cummings who is also amazing.

R.I.P. Maclean Brothers! you are very missed!

[HCGLondon]

I have 4 or 5 of their albums, and have had the privelege to see them in concert 6 times!!

[pushing50]

I saw them in 1982 at the SAC Pub at the University of Windsor.

[2040Rumely]

Both of them are dead now. I was lucky enough to see them in a nightclub in 1996. I ached all over after their 2 hours show! A little piece of canadian comedy history.

[tingsymac]

im 36 now, and haven't heard of these guy in about 25 years . i was a kid in Nova Scotia !! this is great !!

[Bobknoxious]

Blair died on the 27th and that puts an end to an era of toilet rock.

Maclean and Maclean are pioneers of filth ;O

I will never forget the time I saw them at the C I south in edmonton alta in.... 1988

My guts hurt my head hurt my whole body was asulted insulted and I loved every minute of it I will miss you BOYEEZ!!!!!

[goalienut]

I have it on cassette which is like WOW

[ssssmelody]

Sooooo Funny I haven't heard this album in 15 years and it's still better than anything out there today! Thank God for Eastcoasteners!!!!!
