I remember in the seventies when The Bay City Rollers were everywhere. I used to go to the magazine stands each month and I'd have to choose wich teen magazine to buy,of course they all had The Rollers in them. They had cheer leaders on their tv. show and fans made chants about them, there were collectable bubble gum cards. Everywhere you looked there they were. For many years as a teen the world had BCR. fever much like Bieber Fever. It was pretty hard to resist.
Don't give a damn if anyone call's it "BubbleGum Music" !!! It's MY bubblegum music, and i love it!!! The one's who make nasty comments are two types of ppl. 1- To young to know any better, or realize they will also one day be missing the "Old Day's" OR 2- Bitter miserable ppl our age, who never got to enjoy their teen years.
these were after the beatles THE FIRST POP BOY BAND and in their day (if you look at video footage) where the Take That of the Seventies I am 50 loved them then love them now will love them forever !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Shang a Lang I am off to see Eric with his band on Saturday a far better band a far more better and experienced singer and songwriter than the Les Mckeowns egotistical and weak effort of a comeback ERIC IS THE MAN !!! ALWAYS WAS AND ALWAYS WILL BE !!! LOVE HIM TO BITS XX
BCR is the first group I fell in love with. I was only 11 years old then. I felt sad to feel as if they were in the different world, because UK and Japan were very far away then. I began to study English in order to understand their lirics. I am 45 now. Many years have passed, but I have never forgot their songs. They will be in my heart forever.
I was never a great fan of the BSR but hearing these songs after all this time makes me smile and think that perhaps that era wasn't so bad after all. It produced some classic songs, bands and many songs are still excellent now compared to what is produced in the 21st Century.
@fritzmcd Comments like this one's tick me off. If you ever saw them live, you'd know they could both sing and play music. Also, some of their original stuff was awesome. I think if the hadn't imploded w/all the inner bickering, the fans growing up with them would have continued listening on since their music was 'growing up' too. (Will always love those original numbers!)
@suziebaby229 -------------It was either 1974 or 1975 --i was working in High Wycombe and had to leave early one afternoon because hundreds of Rollers fans were blocking the streets near the theatre where they were due to play that evening , it was crazy -- it was then that I realised how big BCRS's were -----I often think back to that particular afternoon and I still love a lot of the great songs they did ---happy days eh ! -----Ed
back in the day they were the biz. was 13 when I fell in love with Les. Such memories. music was fun then. not the rude rubbish that is now, and I agree, why even call up the bcr music if you don't like them. me thinks that certain people protest too much. Maybe closet BCR fans. lol
Well said, 'SuperSpiderlady'! The BCR's were a talented group who made a series of fine singles in the mid-1970's.
It is true that The Rollers and their music went out of fashion somewhat rapidly - after the phenomenal peak of "Rollermania" in the spring/summer of 1975. But, by God, the pop/rock music industry is a harsh, cut-throat business ...... and The BCR's are by no means the only group to have been huge megastars one moment, and derided 'has beens' the next.
Stop it all you haters.....if you never liked them, then don't watch. Those of us who always loved them, and still do, can do without all the nasty comments. Don't you have something better to do?
why do people who don't like this bank bring it up and watch it and then say horrible things about it?? don't watch if you don't like it..move on...no need for that kind of comment...there are a lot of bands and singers out there that I don't like but I don't comment on them..sad people I think..just my opinion
They certainly appear to have an interesting 'orientation' However, that is not the crime at all. The crime is the noise that emanates from there mouth and their instruments. If you want to see real trannies.............go to the Slade site here on YT
stop u all for ur nasty comments if u werent a fan in those days) u dont know what u missed those days were HAPPY and full of LOVE ; GOOD TIMES good music
im a a boy i never ever seen the histery the lads caused in leeds one it was unbelievable the whole place around leeds olypic swimming pool was a mass with crying screeming girls i reckon these shoul do a take that and demolish them also they were far better

message to honest909909 whatever your daft name is. you a english teacher now. look you sad retard why dont you just fuck off. i just cant be bothered with a moron like you. all you glitter, bay city roller, sweet lovers. just stop boring me. you are so fucked up and sad. so take a overdose or something. you just bore me with your boring bullshit.
@rus524 Just to say thanks for defending me ; they also just left another comment for you on here which you wont know about cos they never used 'reply', but it has your name at the start, just in case you want to reply to it ; you cant reply to something you've not SEEN can you ?!!
rus its "an" not "a" whenever the next word begins with a vowel its "an" ok??? your stupidity apart..listen if you hate this kinda music so much why the fuck do you come on here and WATCH it?? and dont say i dont watch it i just comment...thats bollocks.
@honesto999666444 And whats the point of saying 'rus' at the start of your latest response when you haven't clicked the 'reply' link ; unless he's on here as much as you imply he is, which i doubt, he wont read your comment to defend himself will he ?
kinkygiraffe - is that true? did the band themselves not get rich, because of the exploits of their record labels? If true, this is yet one more example of how the rich get richer. Geeze, what a crappy world we live in.
I believe i heard he has been married 26yrs or more. Anyway i believe he met her and started dating around 1977. They did a REALLY good job of keeping that hidden,LOL. All you have to do is look at Shaun Cassidy to know how quick us teen girls will turn on your a**. He married Ann Pennington (playboy Girl), and his fans turned and ran. ):
cute eric smilin woody derek les and alan what scots are all about give a little love take a little love angel baby etc love em all xxx proud to be a scot
The memories this song brings flooding back is just amazing. Bubble Gum? Yes, So what!!?? What i would'ent give to go back to that simple, innocent time in my life.
i saw the Rollers back in the 90's with out Leslie great night loads of memories but missed Leslie he was my fave ,great songs making me feel like a 10year old again thanks !!!!!!!!!!
god.........did these douche bags EVER actually perform live?
i CHALLENGE anyone to find a video of these guys NOT lip syncing or playing 'air' guitar.....GOOD LUCK
these guys are nothing but a product, they cant even play for real. youll never find any live performance from these guys only lip syncing and air guitar
anything from the 70s gets an automatic 5 stars. people are so pathetic
actually, i know of a concert they gave, look it up, put in the search engine, "rock and roll honeymoon", there is an older one from the 70's, you don't want that one, look for the other one, from the 80's and you will clearly see that they are indeed playing the instruments, and singing. And by the way, if you don't like them, why did you watch this video? they still have many fans, and please respect the rights of those fans to enjoy this group, and i still love them too.
I think they left amazingly high quality songs,lyrics,and the sounds with a talented singer.guys should listen to their album more.they were not just as a teenage idol for girls.
Hope you guys get all that's due you after all these years now that your big fat junkie pedo of a"manager" is now where he belongs ! All the best guys from a big fan Scotland.
They should be VERY wealthy musicians now,but their Manager Tam Paton Ripped them off,they are now just about scraping a living as I was told anyway!. Les Mc was living in a poxy little flat a few years ago, THAT IS NOT RIGHT! just google BCR's,You will learn how they were ripped off. I recently watched a tv Doc about it,& was disgusted,when you think they had the same adulation as the beatles etc (Not as good though!)Oh,& by the way, I am NOT a fan! but i do appreciate them! They were good!
I read Arista, their record label has withheld all their royalties since the 70s. Thats an outrage-They were the hardest working band in pop in the 70s. Exploited to the point, that it very nearly destroyed them in the process.. Arista should hang their head in shame! We bought those billions of records because of how fab les, Woody, Alan, Eric & Derek were.
Eigentlich hat man uns mit den songs die 50er und 60er Jahre wieder aufgewärmt.Aber wir dachten alles ist neu ,noch nie dagewesen und so hat es uns gefallen...
laugh all ye want lads. i could of been there lip synchin back in the day if the cards were shuffled right, but then again who's in charge of the shufflin? eh? grass is always greener. life's short. be happy.
I must say watching this does not feel like 34years ago, takes me back to the old school discos and reminds me of my own hairstyle lol, thanks for the great memories guys!
Seeing this clip again, reminds me that this is why I fell in love with the Rollers in the Summer of '74! What honey's they all were. So jealous of capstick 8 though, to have actually been in an audience that close rather than with 4000 others at the Hordern in '75! Such happy, happy memories of a sweet and fun loving teen life!. I'm going to look at more clips now....catch ya all!
The Rollers ruled the mid '70s!! Like it or not never were so many brilliant tunes encapsulated in a three minute pop record. And that is FACT!! Forget the teen mania and see the Rollers for what they were, a fantastic pop group. It's time for a reevaluation of this band, and about time the were judged for what they were. Comparing them to the Beatles is just plain silly!! And with Les joining them they were perfect. The oroginal singer didn't have Les' charisma.
I agree, they were better than they were given credit. I just got some of the music back, and I still love them as much as I did back then, because it's just flat GOOD music. I used to put on the records and sing my head off, my favorite is still "Yesterday's Hero" and "Dedication". Today I listened to the Greatest Hits album about three times. Oh, and I love "You Made Me Believe In Magic".
I hope that my comment at least makes people step back and think of the Rollers in the wider context of popular music. I can comment because at 43 I was there in the 70s in the UK at the time the Rollers were popular. Over time they have been derided. But the songs were really great pop songs. They were the blueprint for so many boy bands that came after! In the 70s celebrity culture was almost non existent, yet the Rollers captured the publics' imagination big time. No mean feat.
You are so right. I am a french canadian and sometimes I don't find the rights words (in english) to defend the Rollers, but you are doing a great job. Thank you!
That's ok!! Did you all know that it is exactly thirty four years ago this week (Feb 20th 1974) that the Rollers began their big popularity rise in the UK with this song?
Nobby Clark didn't sing lead on this as you can clearly hear it's Les singing but I do know that their first hit "Keep on dancing" is not Les at all on the recording.
i love this song remember ( SHA LA LA LA )

Seeing this clip again, reminds me that this is why I fell in love with the Rollers in the Summer of '74! What honey's they all were. So jealous of capstick 8 though, to have actually been in an audience that close rather than with 4000 others at the Hordern in '75! Such happy, happy memories of a sweet and fun loving teen life!. I'm going to look at more clips now....catch ya all!

The Rollers ruled the mid '70s!! Like it or not never were so many brilliant tunes encapsulated in a three minute pop record. And that is FACT!! Forget the teen mania and see the Rollers for what they were, a fantastic pop group. It's time for a reevaluation of this band, and about time the were judged for what they were. Comparing them to the Beatles is just plain silly!! And with Les joining them they were perfect. The oroginal singer didn't have Les' charisma.

I agree, they were better than they were given credit. I just got some of the music back, and I still love them as much as I did back then, because it's just flat GOOD music. I used to put on the records and sing my head off, my favorite is still "Yesterday's Hero" and "Dedication". Today I listened to the Greatest Hits album about three times. Oh, and I love "You Made Me Believe In Magic".

I hope that my comment at least makes people step back and think of the Rollers in the wider context of popular music. I can comment because at 43 I was there in the 70s in the UK at the time the Rollers were popular. Over time they have been derided. But the songs were really great pop songs. They were the blueprint for so many boy bands that came after! In the 70s celebrity culture was almost non existent, yet the Rollers captured the publics' imagination big time. No mean feat.

You are so right. I am a french canadian and sometimes I don't find the rights words (in english) to defend the Rollers, but you are doing a great job. Thank you!

That's ok!! Did you all know that it is exactly thirty four years ago this week (Feb 20th 1974) that the Rollers began their big popularity rise in the UK with this song?

Nobby Clark didn't sing lead on this as you can clearly hear it's Les singing but I do know that their first hit "Keep on dancing" is not Les at all on the recording.
