"In A Big Country" - Big Country (Music Video)

[Mustang12571]

Great song and band..................

[purpleprinces37]

Really a great band from the 80s! Loved them and my mom (who was from Scotland) did too! Wish they were still popular here in the States.

[Deango2]

Why the fuck can I not find this whole video in it's entirety and in a somewhat decent quality?

[MadnessDixie]

buy the dvd

[Deango2]

@MadnessDixie Well it doesnt matter anymore cuz they deleted the video. So MTV gets rid of Music video's and VH1 Classic plays big hair videos all the time. OMG, dude what has happened to the entertainment industry? It's gone to crap. Oh well like you said I could buy it on DVD from the jerks that pulled the video down.

[trucker11686]

As much as people bash 80s music, alot of creativity and originality died at the end of the decade. What do we have now? Justin Bieber and company. That's a great improvement.

[kimmie213]

fucked this song up started to late!

[twiztidwarrior978]

i love this song it makes me so glad to be fan of music

[TheSergioalbert]

am i the only one who see seen this for the first time on an episode of beavis & butthead?

[Wildcock23]

@TheSergioalbert Saw this video when it first came out in '83, but I REMEMBER seeing it on Beavis & Butt-Head too!

[cptsquish]

Remember how awesome 3-wheelers were before the Nanny state came in and took them away from us. I wish the government could have found a way to cash in on them so they could remain on the market. Almost impossible to find a good used one now.

[SpinDoctor91]

love this tune! wish they still made great music like this nowadays...

[Pacquaio]

never seen this before

damn

excellent stuff

[junkyardtattoo]

Yea-Mark Brzezicki-one of my fave drummers,played for the cult off and on as well.Awesome.

[anniechristien]

This is a really great song.

[kink66]

R.I.P STU...!

[yourswiththestars]

they're Scottish

[JohnnyC989]

I didn't mean anything by it Pal!!!! that's where I first heard this song on a 80's one hit wonder show

Said I liked them my family is from Scotland.

and???????????????????

[TheWhatsinaname]

@JohnnyC989 I've heard that the Big Country was only a one-hit wonder in the U.S. I'm with you that this song holds a special place in my heart, because I'm a fourth Scottish.

[YTbob721]

@TheWhatsinaname "Look Away, Look Away" was also a hit and received airplay on MTV.

[facmptr]

How do they get that bagpipe sound

[Offenso]

@facmptr

They used E-bows

[TheWhatsinaname]

@facmptr It's called a synthecizer (sp?) A lot of sounds were imitated by just that one instrument during the 1980's.

[8erfromdec]

why this start in the middle of song?

[TheWhatsinaname]

@8erfromdec I know what happened to the whole video for this. This is one of the best music videos of all-time and should be seen in it's entirety. You would think that the record company that owns this tune would want the whole video put on youtube it would probably get tons of hits from 80's music lovers.

[tracylynnw]

@8erfromdec It probably got cheed up by the VHS recorder lol!!! Remeber VHS? God bless the 80's :)

[YTbob721]

@tracylynnw Betamax was better....

[tracylynnw]

@YTbob721 lol oh I know...we had beta ha ha, they were so much more compact than a VHS tape...

[kenera70]

That's the guy from AHA?

[tracylynnw]

@kenera70 Naw that's not him...totally different guy, but they do look an awful alike though :)

[JohnnyC989]

I like this song!!! 1 hit wonder's of the 80's

[kezzer2]

@JohnnyC989 1 hit? You need to get out more pal...silly comment!!

[coast40]

The beginning is chopped off.

[Douler797]

IM SCOTTISH

[kezzer2]

@Douler797 and???????????????

[moonlightof1982]

I like the little jig that they do at the end of the video!

[Irishswimmer33]

HA!!

[kezzer2]

cheers sis...x GutterDoll is cool!!

[DaveWollenberg]

hit #3 rock, #17 pop in Billboard. US charts. How'd it do in their homeland, Scotland? RIP, Stuart Adamson. God bless!

[BjornDwarika]

dreams

[Cyberella1000]

They blew it out on u-yube, thank God for Vevo!

[mrbrenton182]

can someone please explain wat the story is with the film clip? first time i've seen it... great song!

[kezzer2]

@mrbrenton182 I think its about culture,loving,mixing...and having a great feeling of living. Great sound and upbeat!

[schupy81]

The whole video was on youtube but they took it down. Who owns the rights to the video, and why do they not want it up on youtube? I do not know where else to find the music video but on youtube.

[kezzer2]

@schupy81 I hear ya..pisses me off also.

[KyHazard]

What great memories.  I wore this record out on my stereo back in the day. I am so glad we have YouTube to keep these wonderful memories with us. Thanks for posting.

[olexyd]

why does this video cut into half of the song?

[GutterDoll138]

I love this song... So fresh. Nothing is quite like this anymore. F#cking amazing!

[kezzer2]

@GutterDoll138 True!

[GutterDoll138]

@kezzer2 :o)

[paulpsyche]

Man, I always loved this band... certainly most played cassette tape I ever had 80-early 90's when i was in the Marines... even during Gulf War Period... a gf of mine new the lead singer... well.. from these posts just heard of his loss.... it is 2010... 9 years after he died.. but i do feel sad... sorry for the loss... but thanks for the good music... good times.

[kezzer2]

Nice comments here...sendin some love to you all...hes missed...not got this rawness since Slade...love it!

[robstudster]

great energy

[acs1978aus]

this song is intense

[sherman546]

What a great song. It brings back many memories. It makes me feel a bit sad. Bittersweet I guess.

[CORRAF]

great song! awesome band!

[scorpien133]

this brings back such good memories........damn

[chefnodd]

what ever happend to this band? they were big in the 80's.

[ji61m]

The lead singer, Stuart Adamsom, commited suicide and was found dead in a Hawaii hotel room on December 16th, 2001. After his death, they continued to release music for the cult following they had until 2005....I agree, they were larger than life!

[nibornna]

@ji61m that suck's! was it ever told why he did that??

[ji61m]

@nibornna It's said that he was suffering from depression and had a very high BAC ( blood alcohol content ).....

[nibornna]

@ji61m that really does suck !! thank's for the info!!!

[emailkenny]

This just played on VH1 classics. A great song, so I looked them up. Guess the nostalgia of the song sparked my interest. I mean, I suspected it was from my highschool years. I looked them up and sure enough, it is. Again, a great song.

I'm surprised it only has 5984 views (?) I mean, the song seems larger than life.

[bkstyle82]

@emailkenny I love the song too. I was a year old when the song dropped so its not in my nostalgia banks like other songs are. But that VH1 show exposed me to it. High quality track. Amazing that that are a 1 hit wonder in the US. I mean this song is great, you'd thnk that atleast one other song would have been another hit here in the states. Sad that the lead singer took his own life back in 01.

[MARLENIAMOSLEY]

video quality is poor should have started from the beginning of the song not second stants any way job done good as expected.

[grapess80]

The singer is sooo hot!!!!!!!!!!

[97biggdogg]

guitarist looks just like Owen Hart.............R.I.P. to both Owen and Stuart both loved and missed.........so sad for great lives to be taken from everyone

[roosevelthighschool]

Great song. Whenever I hear this on the radio, I have the video playing in my head.
