The Adverts-One Chord Wonders (1977)

[blikeredaxis]

I got no tome to ne 21 single



[beastcitysexfiend]

2 ppl with no souls

[ChrisYonts]

I think there are two chords.

[roblex61]

I saw them in 1977 when they played the Cellar Bar at Thames Poly in Woolwich and I danced like an idiot spilling my beer everywhere :-) They weren't that well known at the time so there was none of that 'star' crap and we all just had a few beers together after. Coincidently that was the night I first tasted a McDonalds burger, Woolwich being the site of the first of their first UK restaurant, but I was so wasted by then I had no idea what I was eating - Happy days :-)

RIP Howard, Iloved you, so did many others! Your brainhurt, then you died. Fuck it

[ManilaSyndicate]

Nice to see a view of the scene from the other side of the pond. Although I'm not a fan of the group it's nice to see them in '77 and Gaye of course ( even if she could barely be seen here ).

For their standards this is a pretty good song.

[JustStartedPlaying]

What a find, I was actually there at the front!!

[rickragnard]

Back in 96 I would mix this with some hardcore techno,sounded amazing.

[RebelSpiritof77]

Sounds way ahead of its time, almost 90's!!

[drstevie]

one of the best original punk singles of 77" !!

[sirstrongbad]

I don't mind saying that I heard this for the first time only recently.. but I haven't been able to get it out of my head since! and this is just a great performance, thanks for uploading!

[billieraymart]

best ever. period.

[cedomil]

Thanks for the memory, the performance is awsome! Another anthem from The Adverts. :) The wonders don't care, we don't give a damn!

[kanela911]

i wish i could be there!

[MrPunk1001]

we dont give a damn!!!

[Sunarews108]

Панкуха....здоровая штука

[Hollandia777]

Reminds me both Roxy Music "If there's somethin' " & Dawid Bowie's "China Girl"...Same tunes, same chords...xDDDD

[grazianeddu]

A PUNK ANTHEM!!!!!

[beastlycad]

I saw the Adverts i their heyday actually at Essex Univ whist Gary Gilmores Eyes was riding high in the charts!, can still remember it!. There is more chance of England wining the world cup, than there is of this recording coming from this gig!!!!...no fucking way jose!!!!

[jammumu]

Fucking great upload. Thanx for the memories.

[luvumo2day]

bonzo was hear lagarized pissed bacardirized amen

[dadswizz]

it sounds like live at the Roxy. screams, braking glass.etc you don't get that in over produced shit do you ? . . live at the Roxy is still the best live compilation album ever made by a long way. if you ain't got it. you should as it totally encapsulates what the summer of 77 was about...the cover alone is a classic . .

[angel4everable]

LIVE AT THE LONDON ROXY '77 is one of the greatest punk albums of all time---The Adverts, Johnny Moped, Buzzcocks(before they sold out) Slaughter & The Dogs, etc. Seize it today!

[EvilQueenofHearts]

I had that album but sadly its lost

[cockney1980]

i played here myself

i had 5-10 minutes when absolutely no cunt was in the building bar me and i was on the stage alone nr the 'mike stand' position....i closed my eyes and thought of this very Adverts performance....sent shivers i can tell you

[cpunctn]

Really? : D What band were you in?

[TheMaster926]

good ass song too by the way

[TheMaster926]

it sounds like he's saying we wanna smoke crack instead of the wonders don't care lol

[INTERESOV]

I have this movie on the VHS!

[coshthedriver78]

a great video,and a total classic.

[moonlily1]

sounds pretty tight for live.

[MrMotosMandolin]

It still sounds like a live recording, even if it may not be from this show. There´s no bass, the backing vocals are different than on the single version. Maybe they were pretty tight.

[qwisp]

Too bad they couldn't play the actual live recording.

[minutegongcoughs]

I'm there.

[tinie15]

My God, this song brings back so many memories... thanks for the upload!

[TJSundown]

Why oh why did they decide to record the single over the live recording???

...This could have been even more awesome!

I love TV's tomahawk hop dance!

The Adverts and The Clash were the two best live punk bands back in '77!

...In my humble opinion.

Rising the Talent of Heroes

[supabore]

Brilliant!!!

[vaspers]

congratulations. today this video was selected by the NYC Punk Rock Evolution Foundation.

[mikeMCSG]

where's gaye hiding here - is she lurking in the darkness to TV's right ?

[GordonMorrice]

Her sexiness level was often so high that she would become impossible to capture on film or video. Fact.

[Gozillacia]

I saw this band in 77 in a tiny place near Glasgow called the Silver Threads - it was a most memorable gig. The place was tiny, and there was no stage: it was like watching a gig in someone living-room - they were great. I was at college at the time - the same college as one of the above mentioned Exploited, but at the time, 77 he was a big fat hippy who used to sit with his ugly hippy friends sneering at us punks - life's strange - eh.

[valkirkk]

awesome

[woonsocketrocket]

The Adverts & The Damned: Monday night Feb. 21 1977 at The Roxy in London---WOW !!!

[ccccrsraasfsdf]

heh wish i'd been there it sounds like an awesome gig

[ajittffcure]

This is actually quite a catchy song and very cheeky too. Gaye Advert's bass playing is really superb on this one.

[yhcranaalex]

wow. i had completely forgot about this band, this is the first song i heard by them

[Darknvo]

awesome

[thisistadass369]

wow!! they're very good... i mean it sounds exactly the same!!!

[chicobangs]

They overdubbed the audio in the club with the actual single. What the hell good is that?

[utubecansuckit]

yeah i was just gonna say that

[unclemort1960]

yeah this is good gear

[clashboy1977]

GREAT SONG, GREAT BAND!

[Hendrixstrato]

fuck me dead this sounds almost exactly like the studio version!

[lakeviewviking]

Did you ever see the SCTV episode with the fake-punk band THE QUEEN HATERS?(it's on youtube) I think they where modeled on the Adverts...

[hayastan5]

and the energy of the 1977 bands proves that punk isn´t dead. but there was nothing in punk from 1980. political punk bands like the dead kennedys or right wing / alcoholic punk bands like exploited have destroyed the fun in punk

[Wehategod]

I am pogoing around my living One of the Most Underated British Punk bands from 77. One of the Best too. No time to be 21 is a great song
