X-Ray Spex - Oh Bondage! Up Yours!

[nserpent]

alexa chung brought me here :)

[gumbeet]

I have a feeling most of the dislikes are americans..

[duuude3]

@gumbeet FUCK THAT! Im american and the spex could blow my eardrums anyday!

[gumbeet]

@duuude3 good..i wish more out there like u and not listening to crap like rancid , greenday and pearl jam..

[wrongturn320]

@gumbeet Not at all mt friend , 1 huge like from miami , florida in the U.S. .. if i might ask , what would even make you think that ?

[gumbeet]

@wrongturn320 because the only people ive played this to and have disliked it are americans..a foriegner who doesnt speak english has an excuse as its not their language..In england spex are a legendary band..so they wont be disliked there

[BtotheS10]

Some people think Oh bondage up yours. But I think little girls should be seen and not heard.

[errdayimhustlin]

God they fucking suck

[gumbeet]

@errdayimhustlin Can I ask you a question..if you hate this..what is your favorite band or singer?

[Jimbengoz]

wow i love that saxophone on a punk background! fantastic! proto-rockabilly/psychobilly!

[Deetroiter]

Just goes to show you don't need bondage pants and a mohawk to be "punk'. The young (and my generation included) can fuck off with "this is punk" bullshit.

It's a god damn ideology and state of mind, not about what fucking clothes you wear.

[leedsfan96]

@Deetroiter I agree, shame few young people actually have the state of mind though. (I'm one of the lucky few)

[insectsinmyclothes]

@leedsfan96 To be fair, there are quite a few of us with the 'right' state of mind who do have mohawks and bondage pants and such though - not because we think it makes us punk, but because we like wearing them. I am under no illusion that my clothes make me punk.

[tenebrae70]

wow..! fantastic preformance... just listen to her belt it out..!

[GamesFrontiers]

There's a reason why this band are described as "underachievers". Because they were rubbish. Complete utter sh8te.

[ugforthewin]

@GamesFrontiers you just unleashed the hate

[poduibhir]

am not in2 knackers or pop poo or gum fucks like that am in2 opo oop ro mug

[hasanrolf]

im 51 now..

iwere a punk in 70's

 fucking great to hear poly adain. r.i.p. hun.

[waynealarsen]

Great, just YEAHHHHHHH

[TheCanchumpin]

GREAT BAND! Too little production thogh...

[Marcus538]

@TheCanchumpin too little prodcution thats whats good about it, no electronics in those days

[oldhamegg]

Really really bad and very moderately talented.

[gumbeet]

@oldhamegg im curious.if you find this really bad and moderately talented what would you say is a very talented group or singer..what music to you like?

[paramorerox0091]

WTF IS THIS

[silverglobe]

@paramorerox0091 This is punk..... Punk!

[lepardbats]

shes so cute :')

[frankinbound]

Soundtrack of my youth- thanks Poly RIP

[pat12pack]

I just, just found out about her passing!!! So sad!!

[polycarpx]

Wow, Poly Styrene had some cute legs.

May she RIP

[hellboundsanta]

Wonderful.  R.I.P., Poly.

[uzithrasha]

I remeber the first i heard this, Jackass where chris hoped out of the trunk with a thong on haha

[pablocorazon]

The purity of this is sublime. I love the raw sax and Poly's voice rocks.

A million times better than today's artists with their whiney voices singing over cellphone ringtones. Up Yours ! Cowell

[DYKEPALS]

this crap is lame and it sucks. move along faggots

[systemofachemicalnir]

@DYKEPALS yeah could you leave that message to your friends somewhere else

[bensimps123]

wow shes awful

[gumbeet]

@bensimps123 I was wondering if you hate this. what is your favorite band or singer?

[bensimps123]

@gumbeet i like the who , the smiths , velvet underground , the kinks , plus loads more

[gumbeet]

@bensimps123 oh oK..you like the typical stuff on the radio..which is not bad as I like those bands you listed. now if you mentioned punk bands and didnt like the x ray spex I would be thinking your're a complete fool..

[OmarRiveraP]

Upa, Saaaaaavedra. Una buena para el domingo.

[CONTV101]

the pioneer in "riot girrrrlll" scene

[incompresa]

This is just awful, why didn't I know she died not so long ago?? :( OH FUCK, Poly Styrene is dead! ._. I loved her! RIP Poly!

[ezycarefencing]

I turned to the right when punk split into politics ie Skrewdriver etc. Still love the oldsskool Xrayspex tho, great stuff

[houleigin]

punx not dead... it just goes to sleep at a more respectable hour.

[RockinFifiLaFume]

@houleigin It will return. Like a massive wave of corporate crushing awesome. Just see. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SpeedMolotowOwa]

R.I.P. Polly but punk is still alive !!

[ColdOasisU2]

RIP Polly

[jgcooper]

FUCK NO! she died! i didnt know, breaks my heart. =( RIP Poly Styrene. just not fair

[martinwoodholland]

[HAYHANNAHHAY]

OH MY GOSH polly KICKS ASS!!

[wheelworker1]

Rip ....

[KISSIMISTRY]

RIP POLY YOU ARE TRULY AN INSPIRATION TO KISSIMISTRY!!!

[lurch321]

Although the Spex was a punk band, Poly really had a good, strong and melodic singing voice! She will be missed.

[16stork90]

amy winehouse,,,junkie ,piss head ,tabloid heading ,freak,,like sid ,will have cult status,,,,,but,,poly,,,,her music will last,,,,rip poly

[daviddowns81]

@16stork90 Poly will have a cult status as well. anyways, quit making somebody feel inferior to another for going through hardships. I am pretty sure Poly would tell ya to fuck off.

[MakhtalDaahir]

Not many people know that this girl poly Styrene is half Somali half White....her father is Somali from Somalia...

[lillith665]

dude get a grip xray spex is more punk fuckin' rock than the ramones ever will be.

and I love the ramones.

kids these days. listen to the lyrics, will you? on the whole bloomin' album!

[Bi0xHAzZaRd]

You are all the reason why punk is falling apart

[chrisdrage1]

seems very generic to me, every punk band form the uk seem to be a bad imitation of the sex pistols and they were just a terrible immitation of the best punk band around (the ramones)

[MrLongboarder94]

@chrisdrage1 the ramones are fa from the best punk band

[chrisdrage1]

@MrLongboarder94 go fuck yourself

[MrLongboarder94]

@chrisdrage1 Do you have a black leather jacket that mommy and daddy bought you too?

[chrisdrage1]

@MrLongboarder94 i don't even own a leather jacket and no i'm not a spoilt rich fuck, i live with my mum and brother and have to earn my own

[iggypopstrousers]

Brilliant. makes one quite pleased to be alive!

[amerikanprincess]

Still in my Top 20 All Time Rock Tracks. Oh breast cancer up yours!!!!

[aimeerosegolding]

RIP Poly Styrene.

[sebbster2000]

@barbarianabar at least he can play bass!

[Dagarvs]

@sebbster2000 yeah, seriously. maybe that's the real one.

[ashjgreig]

Fuck Green day and all the other fakers...

This is Punk Rock at its Greatest

[trippy898]

love this band at the time THIS is true punk .rip

[trojan73able]

never gone,and never forgotten.

[exeuroweenie]

What a woman,what a fucking loss.She was kinda the Gilda Radner of punk;cute,funny,well loved and loveable.Even curmudgeonly Lydon called X-Ray Spex "superb".

[heyyouband]

hot rocker chick!! LOVE IT! Sweet song! Way to pave the way for us female rockers!!!!!! I am in a new pop/punk band called HEY YOU! and i think we need to go back in time...haha. If any of you X fans wanna give it a try, we recently put up a new music video.... let us know what u think (it is a lil more poppy than this one, but MAN!! Wish we could play a show together )

youtube search: Hey You Band Taking Over (the one with the bunny)

[rancidnut]

bellumsacrumbellum28, sglasspool, you're nothing but a pair of faggot wankers. Poly might not have been classically beautiful, but she was VERY attractive in other ways...... talented, unique, absorbing... and at least she achieved something with her time on earth, not just signing on the dole and masturbating in front of a computer monitor like youz parasites. I'm not her biggest fan, but she was certainly larger than life, and will be missed by many.

[NeonAngel1997]

Kathleen Hanna's voice sounds like hers. I love you Poly

[jonblazeinc]

RIP Poly

[malaikanini]

I was reading an interview with Poly on Mojo Issue in Feb. So I was curious to listen to her music. Now I've found out she passed away last April. RIP Poly

[xz3xru1]

Making tapes of band practice in the basement. Good times.

[GLOWoftheABYSS]

LA PUNK r.i.p. 7.3.57 - 4.25.11

[DrWhiggs]

@GLOWoftheABYSS She was English.

[GLOWoftheABYSS]

@DrWhiggs i didnt meant L.A. - Los angeles ( i would have put dots in that case ) la is the female latin article as u use " the " for everything so in english would sound as SHE THE PUNK - specified just not too pass 4 such an ignorant cheers

[JeremysVideos2]

@GLOWoftheABYSS I speak some spanglish but would have missed that one.... I'm not sure what this sentence means though "specified just not too pass 4 such an ignorant cheers" (though I do assume a "dot" goes between ignorant and cheers).

[GLOWoftheABYSS]

@JeremysVideos2 what is doing a grammar s scholar in a punk video page you really think that guys in '78 give a shit about dots?

?So do i

[martymisfit]

RIP POLY.

[AmyyAbsynthe]

OH BONDAGE, UP YOURS!

[eekowarrior]

[MakhtalDaahir]

@labyrinth444 Poly Styrene died? I did not know that may she rest in peace...

[NewWaver80014]

@MakhtalDaahir Yes, she died of breast cancer a few months ago.

[alexookpik]

@labyrinth444 amen

[dylanpalmediy]

@labyrinth444 I just learned that she died! That sucks!!

[69MrLoverBoy69]

@dylanpalmediy What did she die of? Whats her name so i can look her up?

[ThePatsyken]

@69MrLoverBoy69 breast cancer apparently

[Artaud1957]

Her line "Some people say little girls should be seen and not heard. I say..." never fails to electrify me, 30+ years on. Rest in peace, Poly.

[RawBohemian]

RIP Poly. Oh Bondage Up Yours!

[sitwosaints]

It was a rubbish song

[Snowman999]

So Sad. I loved this band. Their albums are great.

[NFGfan2]

Iconic band and singer-- and a lovely person. RIP, sadly missed.

[BellumSacrumBellum28]

The band is fine, she is not!!!

[cryptsub]

@BellumSacrumBellum28 you are a shallow piece of shit

[sglasspool]

@BellumSacrumBellum28 Of course she's not fine. She's getting eaten by worms as we speak! Poor, poor worms.

[PHISHjohnsonPHISH]

@BellumSacrumBellum28 your caught in the idea that all woman have to be beautiful to play in a band. thats stupid and your stupid.

[EddyPop100]

Be at peace you beautiful, wonderful woman...the energy and creativity you pour into your performance will inspire forever! Punk is life.

[misslissaSA]

Rest in Peace, Poly Styrene<3.

[dogzilla1960]

RIP - She was wonderful

[kpyng]

The original Riot Grrl...

[vforvictory1]

if you are too overly emotional and probably angsty to ignore a negative comment or at most thumb it down you should probably reevaluate your life

[sglasspool]

@vforvictory1 Here here!

[Re1Zer0]

I love you poly, be at peace and thank you for all your gifts to our lives with your voice, your music and your individuality that shined so brightly! <3

[sparkybonehead]

Thank you, Poly. You opened the doors for everybody from Kim Gordon to L7 to Karen O. Love you forever. R.I.P.

[MrBantam3]

RIP Poly. Haven't played this song for years. Still awesum. Will listen to her new CD now.

That sax sounds like Psychedelic Furs.

[saikol69]

[AntjaDec]

sglasspool is clearly a very sick person. we should just ignore him, you can't change people like this, truly vile.

[sglasspool]

@AntjaDec Sick in what way? Not the cancer type way, that's for sure.

[lisadean1]

real music PUNK ERA AWSOME - by god theres some shit music around nowdays !!!!!!

[soulDischarge1978]

@sglasspool how can you say such stupid comments when all that you have posted in your shitty channel is utter pretentious crap ......"Harvest Rain" give me a fucking break LMFAO, faggy ass psuedo goth emo cunt

[soulDischarge1978]

@sglasspool i have read your comments and i can only say with all my heart .... please go fuck yourself

[gravelsauce]

She was the first punk rock girl. I will always love her. My heart weeps....

[GreenShark4]

Funny, someone does and their videos get popular...

[thombone]

Some really sick people hang out on youtube. Don't worry though, everyone, karma WILL catch up with them eventually.

[sglasspool]

@thombone Apparently, cancer is quicker than karma.

[Radioactive1080z]

@sglasspool why do you keep coming back here? just fuck off already you dick! You don't like the music and that's fine, but your attacking a completely defenseless person! And because of the music you make blind assumptions on who she was and how she acted! Damn it people like you make my stomach churn! The internet truly is a wasteland for trolls like you!

[allfantasticimages]

RIP Poly Styrene.

[elotroyopunk]

Oh bondage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fuck you!

[WakeEntry]

R.I.P. Punk just lost another great.

[Fckng666peter]

[laceyroseires]

No matter what anyone thinks of their music or success, she was a FORCE. If you weren't there, you don't know what you missed. I will always remember her VOICE. She was mythic, a true Siren, and I am sad to see her GONE... ~~+<3

A legend,true iconic status The cry of "Some people think little girls should be seen and not heard, but I think, Oh Bondage! UP YOURS!"will ring out for a week..Never Mind The Monarchs Here's X-Ray Spex...X

[NFGfan2]

alderforall The fact that her death worldwide trended on twitter for a full day, made national TV and most newspapers-- and the fact that morons like you who dont even like her or the band come on here to trash her-- shows she made it. Now do one little boy.

[popitinpete]

It's not Mozart, but this was just such an exciting sound in 1977. A great antidote to prog rock and concept albums.

[Ayeyuya]

R.I.P.

[nazznomadbleedinout]

and yet, phil collins is still alive. life is very unfair.

[meoma1966]

@nazznomadbleedinout i am not a fan of phil collins - but maybe you shoud notice, what lemmy said about phil collins in a (german) interview. He said (free translated) 'that phil collins is a great drummer and had some great songs - more than anybody of us could say'. (and further) 'if our drummer mickey dee would be too drunk to play the next gig and phil collins would sit in the next room, i would ask him about help, phil collins would play the whole motörhead-gig without any fault.'

[7333cm]

RIP Poly...She was a legend
