The Wonder Stuff - Don't Let Me Down, Gently

[councilglasses]

Anyway,,, I used to live in Kingswinford many years ago and remember that Rob bloke,He was a different type of person.I also used to knock about with Malcom's younger brother,dont remember his name just that he had an Atari.They all seemed like reasonable blokes,like some of their music fair play to em!

[Indio156]

coltsuppyourass, why don't you get a life and stop harassing me? Was your last job with the Wonderstuff 20 years ago, and that is why you are so annoyed with me for "luring" The Bass Thing away and taking your pay check? POOR YOU. I am blocking you now, and if you pursue me, you will have a lawsuit on your ass, so I can make EVEN MORE money! MORE MUG YOU, as Rob would say!

[MrMawsy]

yawn you still slaggin miles off yawn yawn why not emphasise how good your husband was? at the end of the day miles wrote the bulk of the lyrics n they stand the test of time as does his voice but the band was 4 vibrant talents end of

Hanson Worships This Band.

[scappleby]

Now were rockin', Aint that the truth, Far out...

The Bass Thing is in heaven with Entwhistle and Pastorious...

[Indio156]

scappleby, you said The Bass thing is in heaven with Entwhistle & Pastorious? I was married to Rob (The Bass Thing), but in the '70's when I was a teen, I knew Entwhistle,& I can guarantee you, Rob is not friends with him, because John was not thin, attractive,nor amusing,& had mutton chops(he was nice, tho). He'd like Keith Moon. He was a fun guy back in the early 70's.But he's probably with Sid, who I went out with until he passed in my bed on Bank St. Who is Pastorious?

[coltsuperocean10]

Give it a rest already you fantasist. Indio you are making a fool of yourself, you seem like some bitter and twisted piss stained old hag!!

[seashel713]

They were one of my favorite bands!! I was soo bummed when they broke up :-(

[shamblesuk]

even tho theyre in concert tomorrow in london

[majiKand1]

with no lil'hitler Miles though, no?

[Morph3us420]

Wanker.

[HomersBrain]

I love the Stuffies. I saw them in 1987 before they were big, at Leeds warehouse. They were supporting the Primitives, along with The Shamen when they were psychodelic. They came on stage and announced 'We're a bunch of wankers from Birmingham'.

[dazmalski]

HUP!!!!

[peteron3]

HUP indeed lets all HUP!!!

Classic!!

[naytay22]

love room 410 too! smiling sweetly with a lemon in your jaw......

[Indio156]

that song, Room 410, was written about a fight my husband, Rob Jones had with the Little Hitler, Miles.

[naytay22]

Ive read some of your other comments posted and I feel kind of priviliged that you have replied to my comment. Was miles really a little Hitler?

I always thought that he looked as though he could be abit of a prima donna!! Saying that though the made some damn fine tunes. Cartoon Boyfriend and Piece of Sky being a couple of my fave ones. Am I right in thinking Piece of sky was about The Bass Thing?

[Indio156]

Little Hitler and Prima Donna...You're right. A cross between the two, but more on the Prima Donna side. Like Hitler with a prissy attitude and hemmoroids.

[AABINVESTIGATIONS]

thats room 512, not room 410 dude!

[chookter1]

Wheres "Room 410" ffs!

[fixmeplz]

HUP!!!!!!!!!!

[scappleby]

Now were rockin', ain't that the truth...Far Out.

[Xiolablu3]

Bass Thing is awesome...

This track is distorted but his bassline sounds wicked that way!

[Indio156]

I will say thank you on his behalf. Some of his ashes are still in my closet. I was his wife.

[boybandmassacre]

Great track!Miles was a great singer then..Hup was a revelation to me at the time..

[buccaneerjet]

shame, miles is an arrogant prick.

[Indio156]

I was married to Rob (the Bass Thing) and Miles was like the angry little dickless emperor. Like in the old movies with the angry eunichs? That was how he acted.

[sunburstdj]

Indio.....

I am a stuffies fan going WAY back when they used to play the small venues before HUP sent them to the top of the charts. I am a bass player and always loved Rob's style and even tried to emulate him a bit with my playing. It was a sad sad day when he left the Stuffies, and an even sadder day when he died. I also loosely know Miles. He is nowhere near the Tyrant he used to be. It was never fun to watch him throw a fit on the stage. God bless Rob. God Bless the Stuffies.

[rodluvan5220]

Honey, I too could tell a story or two from my years working in hotels about "stars" behaving like little pricks. But it doesn´t really change anything. They are still brilliant artists that we all love and always will! Just like "The emperor".

[cholmes800]

I wore the HUP album slap out and I'm sure no one else in my hometown even knew who they were,

great times.

[JigsawJones]

I love this song, and MY GOD could Miles hunt be any bloody SEXIER in this video??? Melts my panties right off.

[Wrenn00]

It's the grin at 5 seconds in that does it. :P

[JigsawJones]

Ohhhh yes it is. :) And those cute fucking dimples. I'd hold his hand all day.

[danjanhol]

He looks like a girl!

Great choon tho HUP!

[Tr4veller]

Not many songs always make me smile - this is one of the rare bunch.

Oh, and it was our paintball warm up track!

[Indio156]

My husband,The Bass Thing,didn't die on the 1st day of the yr, but on the 31st of July,about 15 yrs ago.I look at these vids,& he's alive again.Thank you.

[theteels]

you must have a mixture of sadness and happiness when you watch the old videos and footage. i loved the band and my memories are of fun times, especially when the stuffies played the barrowland.

[su79nioj]

Are you happy now?

[minimal1975]

[boybandmassacre]

Classic tune..Hup was their peak.This was their classic line up..so sad to think 2 of this line up have passed on..

[milky0ne]

I've spent nigh on 20 years telling anyone that'll listen, "As my coffin goes down play this".

[KnucklesQH]

wouldn't it be great to die together on the first day of the year, I'm so with you on this.

[danjanhol]

[MOD725]

top tune to dance to along with a wish away..God bless the Stuffies

[Indio156]

AABINVESTIGATIONS contacted me, and sent me an email which I missed out on b/c I was out of the country. WRITE ME AGAIN! He said he used to work on the crew with my husband, The Bass Thing. Today is his death day. Happy Death Day, Rob. You are loved, and always remembered...

[daobecca]

HUP is one of those albums i always come back too regardless of the mood i'm in. And this track is just fabulous :) thanks.

beccaxx

[MiRaleigh]

"HUP" is the overlooked gem in the Stuffies canon. Queue up "Let's be other people", "Piece of Sky", "Can't Shape Up" and "Don't Let me Down, Gently" The best 4 track string on ANY of their discs.
