The Vaselines - I Hate The 80's (2010)

[thebadkidsband]

it wasnt all duran duran dura... amazing

[ShaheebaBay]

The main guitar riff sounds like the one on "Sweet Jane" by The Velvet Underground - i think :~)

[TheWingedSquid]

This song just gave me soooo much happiness.

[demonicpriest]

@MrHello435222 Technically, the 80's had both.

[MrsAlllllli]

this is truly awesome to listen to i get really happy listening to this song!

[KurtMcGowan]

Everyone saying the 80s were shit, check out all the wealth of underground music going on in Britain and America at the time. It's pretty diverse! x

[ChicagoLocalMusic]

@KurtMcGowan Including the Vaselines! The Vaselines are saying that it wasn't so much the 80's that sucked as it was the mainstream culture. That's exactly the point of this song!

[korranda]

sad, very sad

[maxmatt4]

Dude Kurt Cobain would love this song so much if he was still alive...

[jerrycrow66]

Can't argue with that!

[mwng]

The 90's made the 60's look like the 50's.

But, yeah, the 80's were shit.

[Mr91OCB]

@mwng 80's had the best music ever

[maxmatt4]

@Mr91OCB Oh ya.....cocaine, glitter, and hair spray.....makes such "great" music. Thats just sad man

[Mr91OCB]

@maxmatt4 Late 60's and 70's were also a drug period. 90's had new drugsbeeing fashion like ecstasy.

I think when techno came up (even if eurodance is quite good music), music started really to die. Nevermind, for me, 2000's are the real death of music.

[Directo13]

@Mr91OCB True the best rock songs are from the 80's and if you listen to many modern song you can definitely hear 80's pop.

XD

[uchihasasuke7863]

@Mr91OCB as if 60's and 70's FTW

[lumyingluo]

nice^^

[sunchild90]

The best band i've seen live!

[fishcakekev]

Great song from a still great band. Ah yes, it all comes back to me now - Manchester Boardwalk, Easter c1983 (ish!), Pastels, Membranes, and The Vaselines blowing them all of the stage!!!!

[shit311]

i love the 80s!!!

[SeriousWalrus]

wow an amazingly dated sound, the rythmn section is pathetic, gone is the jazz drumming of the org band (it was so avant garde) and the driving bass of the Pete Hook admirer which gave the vaselines their punk edge.... they were a driving force now they are a crying shame. Well youve been at it a while ITS CASH IN TIME!!

[MichaelLark]

@SeriousWalrus Some people are never satisfied....

[SeriousWalrus]

@MichaelLark Im satisfied I just dont know why they are not calling themselves Eugenuis anymore.... as the sound is more akin to that...

[interpolluter29]

@SeriousWalrus Don't hate.

[xzvzcxvxzvxz]

This is just amazing! Great band!

[powerpopmonkey]

This song does crack me up (even though I'd take the 80's over the 90's pretty much any day). And, yeah, I was there ; )

[MsDaydreaming]

Loooooove it!

[PorroFirst]

Supporting the Vaselines is like taking care of an old language.

[psa12]

So topical: "Now the party is over and we're left with the hang over" The 80s were all about glorifying investment bankers. I really hope that's now over.

[JOHNSSMYTH]

The VASELINES are brilliant, I love this band!

[DJtheFooligan]

Saw them perform this live in London last week....sensational. I'm just listening to the LP and loving every minute of it. Vaselines, Captain America, Eugenius, Eugene Kelly solo & Frances McKee Sunny Moon CD all 10/10.

[carolinaac1]

I thought this as called "it wasn't all duran duran"... anyway, it's great, I'm seeing them and Belle and Sebastian on october 9th, can't wait!

[LostintheWandering]

I wish I could find the lyrics somewhere

[jamierourketen]

touring right now!

[TheDude4077]

this may be the best news i've heard all year

[MrPAWorthington]

They are so great!

[MrPAWorthington]

Thank God!

[JMR83]

@MrPunkrockrr

Perhaps also down to how Rolling Stone and the like wank themselves over anything with guitars, and pretentious nonsense for arrogant dweebs like yourselves.

But that doesn't mean there was nothing in the 90s I liked.

REM, Smashing Pumpkins never bothered me. But of course let's slag off Phil Collins coz it's cool to do so, eh?

[JMR83]

@MrPunkrockrr

Pretentious music for musical snobs like yourself, that is.

[TheLurksSuck]

@MrPunkrockrr Mudhoney!

[30SecondDogWalk]

I'm shocked that they're back. I didn't even know! How awesome!

[JMR83]

Fucking talentless shite twats.

I hated most of the 90s which were more shit.

[FlappityFlipFlop]

@JMR83: Why do I have a feeling you were an 80's hippie? Did you prefer Phil Collins in your life time? The 80's consisted of worthless shitty music.

[JMR83]

@FlappityFlipFlop

Like I really care what an arrogant cunt like you thinks. OMFG, my "real music" is better than yours. And yes I like Phil Collins. Largely coz I am not a musical snob. PS, an 80s hippie - what a hilarious contradiction.

The 90s were boring. Mostly. But had some good moments mind. But I really couldn't care less for my-opinion-is-a-fact-know-it-a­lls like yourself.

[RandomVideos7818]

@FlappityFlipFlop what about the pixies, SRV, stray cats, early nirvana, some of the best music i know was created in the eighties, so, shut up.

[chunkylimey]

@JMR83

So what music have you created exactly? Got an album you want to share with us? A really cool video on Youtube?

I suspect if anyone is talentless shite it's you. Of course if you've got no evidence of your creativity then you're just a sack of crap who produces nothing of value. Just another late abortion.

[JMR83]

@chunkylimey

I'm just as entitled as anyone to say if I think something is shite or not.

Given the choice I would rather listen to JLS than this. And I don't even like JLS.

Twatface.

[AScoppa]

@JMR83 Fucking moron. Grow a dick.

[hoylakehopper]

@JMR83 Horse bollocks

[SuperDevolution]

i fucking love this song

can't wait for the album

[aznjess]

shit. Pleasantly surprised.

[ohfoolishworkerbee]

Sitting at working laughing my ass off. Amazing!

[ashtree50]

Uncanny. Because the 80's were s****. I know because I was there. What a comeback song

[emokidsblowdick]

i hope the rest of this albums this good

[Watergirl22196]

@emokidsblowdick Well they only have 2 so it'll be easy to find out

[SevenDeadlyCinema]

They haven't lost a single ounce of their magic, whatsoever.

[tizzitotizzon]

si alguien tiene la letra en español les agradeseria mucho si me la pasan por q no la encuentro en ningun lado

[iamkyon]

Fuck this shit.

[mercuriopiccoli]

best song of the year!!
