[fanmail59]

Is the guy with the mullet who spits the beer at 3:15 the same guy from the opening clip on Rage's "Wild Child" video?

[juliadennehy]

I have this cassette from high school... I never knew they made a video for this! Thank you for taking me back! =) INXS, Pseudo Echo, and the Models!

[MrPaulwaters]

I am the voice from drinking...... james 's biography book. To those who have a drinking problem like I did/do....read his book! It's a masterpiece!

[timhorpo]

The one with the tattoos

[aussietv2]

@timhorpo You could be right. But I have no way of checking.

[timhorpo]

@aussietv2 Yeah for some reason it always stuck out in my mind, and i always associate that with the clip of this song...I remember it being on the news and they freeze framed the video, it absolutely imprinted in my brain..

[timhorpo]

i remember this clip clearly, and at 1:24 the guy in the clip was found dead a few weeks/months later off a cliff somewhere in Australia.....anyone else remember this incident??

[aussietv2]

@timhorpo Which guy?

[shazzabelle2]

RIP mate. You fought long and hard. As long as you could I guess.  Thanks for the memories.

[FacesOfTheWorld]

The two dark chicks in the video that this video always reminds me about, are actually 2 chicks from Sri Lankan heritage. Go SRI LANKA!! Give it to them Aussies!!!! By the way... RIP James Freud. U and the band were great in my early teenage years and got to see them perform than before I was old enuf to drink!!

[hellozio]

@FacesOfTheWorld the girls in the clip are sisters zan from talking with and sherine from  big pig

[FacesOfTheWorld]

@hellozio That's right!... 'Sherine' is a name from Lanka(Sri Lanka)! I know, as I have a cuz by that name. And these two girls in the video clip, had always been mentioned from the Music media back then, that they were from Sri Lankan background.

[hamjamnspamalot]

@FacesOfTheWorld I though Kate Ceberano was one of the girls on the audio track though?

[FacesOfTheWorld]

@hellozio Yeh. They're both born in London, England, - both being twins and are of Sri Lankan heritage. Suzanne['Zan'] fr "I'm Talking" and Sherine fr "Big Pig".

[jenlou67]

RIP James... another loss to the australian music industry ... :'(

[crazyspottedcow]

RIP James.... :(

[gleegirloz]

Just too sad,RIP Col.

[VelvetHawk]

Amen. Now we only have his musical legacy and some wonderful memories.

[TheRimRider]

It's bizarre how this video begins, given whats happened. Self-fufilling prophecy? Either way, a talented man who gave many thousands of people alot of joy, including me, who has fond memories of the band and their music.

RIP James, and condolences to the family.

[shazzabelle2]

@TheRimRider And the irony of the ending.

[TheRimRider]

@shazzabelle2 - Yes, it mirrors the beginning... I think he's actually drunk in the video clip, whereas the others seem to be acting.. look at the shot where he is sitting at the bar and Sean Kelly is standing - you can see it in the eyes...im going to get his book...

[shazzabelle2]

@TheRimRider yes, its funny, I was thinking that he was drunk in that clip as well. Definintely you are right - its there in the eyes.

[shazzabelle2]

@TheRimRider he does goes through with it. How sad.

[tasimana]

sad when anyone takes their own life - sing in heaven

[missy1271]

@blackmarlin64 Hi, that is the original filmclip. It wasnt doctored.  Very ironic now it turns out.

[aussietv2]

RIP JAMES FREUD 4/11/2010

[julienk2021]

@aussietv2 It's such a tragedy - he was a genuine talent.

[anzac2404]

@aussietv2, Spewing & saddened by his death, I was 17 when this came out, hard to think that was in 1985....how time flies?! I just read the news online, I thought Jesus Christ as I was only watching this vid a couple of days ago; blows you away but listen to the first few lines, it mentions drinking...thats what killed him!

What a waste of great talent; I only hope that he is walking in the sun now & free of the demons that chased him for so long. RIP James 1959 - 2010

[bellanita]

@aussietv2 OMG I didn't even know he had passed away!

[meerkatlibrarian]

@aussietv2 What he died? Was it on the news?

[aussietv2]

@meerkatlibrarian yes mate.

[EmmaLouiseDomination]

@meerkatlibrarian he died in 2010.

lost his battle with alcoholism and tragically committed suicide.
