[datingfree1a1]

5 Stars short Movie

[yowie1938]

this song is simply fantastic. From a bloke approaching 45, it makes me feel like seventeen. Thanks for posting this song and making me feel so young!!!!

[Nyquilcoma]

Great tune, great band, possibly the best of the pub/punk scene. Here's something really depressing tho', the first time I saw them was in Atlanta in 1978 and they were

opening for Tim Curry on his " I Do The Rock" tour.

[quofan73]

Lemmy & Bruce Foxton of The Jam used RICK basses back then.. Great sound.

[termin9r]

oh, by the way did I menton I am a nobody today....you really do have to do anyhthing 'u wanna do' to acheive fame and fortune in this lfie....

[termin9r]

remember hearing this first on Tiswas - totally changed my life...was going to do a degree in solid state physics/chemistry at Wales uni - decided instead (based on the lyrics of this song) to do electronics at Brunel - proper universities mind not the the artfices of today.

[sunbeam11]

Dear oh dear I dont remember Barry being in the Bay City Rollers! I do remember the great bass playing tho, only this bloke and the bassist in Yes ever used rickenbackers.

[DoctorDoBuggerAll]

@sunbeam11

Nah, quite a few used Ricky basses. Hooky in Joy Division, the early Clash tracks had a Ricky on them, Gaye Advert had one when she got a bit of money, Generation X bloke used one, Radiator From Space, the list goes on most probably. :)

[tag6tag]

after all these years this song is a classic teenage anarchy anthem,driving my car playing it loud, makes my skeleton wanna burst out of my skin.

[GUITARPOKEY]

Anyone else out there at the Reading Top Rank gig in feb 1978 where they were supported by Andy Ellisons's Radio Stars and upcoming new band Squeeze? My first gig ! Happy daze

[ath8]

Where are they now?

[Gianniz]

Barry is still touring with a "new" group of Hot Rods.

[Lust4Life]

saw em recently, still sings alright mostly

[ghdtreb]

Seems to me The Strokes were influenced by these guys

[mikekingphoto]

Totally, great observation. Mike

[ghdtreb]

Saw this band in oxford in 77 on the strength of this song. They were supported by Squeeze. Was 16. Goes down as one of my life's highlights.

[lardarzz]

i just see these last week at aylesbury they were still rockin with a great sound and performance

[londonboy59]

Barrie Masters..the man who inspired me to get my left ear pierced - great earring fella!

[letmeinyoupig]

its fab ?!! best ever !!! im really old and i still think the same ??!!!jean 1954 !!!

[Ben4810]

Great song, bassline & bassist Paul Gray really was good in all his subsequent bands also....!

[eretoplease]

Classic, the memories come flooding back. Long live the rods

[lilgogsy]

"I`m sure I must be someone,now I`m gonna find out who!..."

[stickmanpig]

should have been no1

[jamcat1959]

Love this song, it's hard to believe that they where classed as R & B. In 1976 the Sex Pistols where supporting them and they trashed the Rods equipment but maintained that they had respect the Rods.just as well they liked them then.

[TopBloke1]

Meant a lot to me when I was 14 years old .. still love it today and I've left instructions for this to be played at my funeral !

[PAULLONDEN]

Check out Spirit In The Sky ,too

the Norman Greenbaum version though.

[richardxs]

In my opinion, one of the most beautiful songs at 70's, with a nice lyric.

[PJBTW125]

Our Andys favorate group .He loved them (MY HEARS ARE PROOF ENOUGH)But sad that it is (they were shit.) Unless denim was cool and mimeing was the in thing.He as carried this tune to see himself all the way . Even when the preverbials hit the fan.(Of which he is a fan of)

[23JM23]

Barrie's eyeballs were having a good night out!

Still a great song 30 years on.

[iamthepig]

This was considered more Pub than Punk at the time, good band though.

[davidleighbnp]

takes me back

[Tattoss]

one of the best band performed songs ever made... they look like shit but what the hell...

[rockabeatinboogie]

Saw them at Whiskey a Go Go in LA. A big let down, a decent studio, below avg live.

[theonlytruepunk]

Definitely the best Hot Rods tune. Excellent and positive lyrics, with the catchiest music.

[relfyc]

cool song

[gkru]

Great song, but the singer's mugging is too corny, like Eddie Money trying to be Springsteen. It's now odd that they were considered punk/new wave (or pre-punk, to be exact), but back then all it took was short hair and a three minute/three chord song to be considered radical when most people were still listening to Yes, Pink Floyd and Jethro Tull.

[hallinansenior]

Jerk, this was genuine, I saw them in Bristol within not long after seeing Llynyrd Skynrd and Genesis - all great in their own way. This is as classic as Freebird or Suppers Ready.

[PerkinsSimpkins]

I like them better than Dr Feelgood.

[lee22boro]

gr8 song gr8 band n ye very punky n started the scene back off with the punks n mods

[cherokeebonnet]

Hey, they might not have been a punk band but they were part of the punk movement. They headlined Britains firt punk rock festival, City Rock in 1977. When Teenage Depression came out, it was popular with punks.

[RamonesBrat]

Really, they were Glam. But I see where you were going...

[RamonesBrat]

Oops! Sorry! I thought I had a totally diff vid on. Feel like a jerk now. OK, bye!

[monitormel]

I saw EHR's at max's KC in NYC. Great show and thier cover of Get out of Denver was brilliant

[hoctor]

they the bleak mid 70's a lot brighter, right before the flood gates opened on punk and more

[ZLUGGO]

Excellent tune.

[andreaprodan]

NOT exactly a Punk band, folks... but a good Pop song yes!

[bittentwice]

Pub-rock at its best, most of their other stuff is wet and windy, but this was so right at the time

[merseyside]

great british 70s band. brilliant

[blob83000]

la video craint mais quel grand morceau !

[boniveros]

Cherche "poignet" BBR comme Barrie Masters ! (j'ai perdu le mien en 83 :-\ )

[fabikini]

J'en ai un dans ma housse de basse ... mais je le garde !
