The Skids - Goodbye Civilian

[vespasianlegx11]

the two best frontmen in music were for me freddie mercury and richard jobson guitariststs brian may and stuart adamson .

[RaqRage]

Amazing,took me back a fair few years. Was never lucky enough to see them live,but saw Big Country at Reading Festival 1983,total class ! Thankyou for this trip down memory lane !

[1803becky]

Timeless tracks by this band. Saw them live several times and they were one of the best bands i have seen

[rockabillygaz]

[dja51]

Got to be one of the best punk tracks of all time

[davyroppaslf1]

JimZ885 - check the time line ! the pistols were years before these guys. bet you're a yank- you fellers are always trying to alter history !

[JimZ885]

Joy Division and Sex Pistols stole it all from these NED Highlander unique new wavers. DUH!

[bandagefreak]

can still remember the fabulous album cover of The Absolute Game - i knew every word of that album and 30 years later can still sing along with this great song!! priceless!!

[skin3560]

This tune is just great love it

[JakobusVdL]

Thanks for putting this up Sham 64.5, Great song, great band.

As a plukie youth, I always wanted to be able to dance like Jobson, now I see this video again - I still do!

[gsm1881]

My son loves this, he is a big Skids fan, and this is his favourite song, he's only 5, him and his mate pogo around to this.

[sabotagetimes]

Jobbo rocking the CB Fry look

[TheMantis1914]

tried my hardest to get my mam to like em ,failed but she knew i was weird anyway ,love her..

[cliftonperkins]

Jobson was a complete w@nker, but somebody had to be; better than being a "corner boy"; gallus as feck.

[depeche19812]

[marialfabeta]

[prettygreen66]

so sad about the big yin, such a nice fella, met him and the rest of the band a few times, had a beer and a chat just before venue/lyceum gigs....

[r8ltl]

[AccyRed]

Dunfermlines finest

RIP Stu

You'll never walk alone

Sorely missed

[stardustinthezodiac]

Judging by the way Jobson is posing away at the beginning of this video-had he just seen 'Man who fell to earth' or something ?!?!

[rockabillygaz]

[wurdgeemun]

@Lapri6 i like the way you think

[whitehills2007]

Remember seeing them on tour, in Oct 1980.....Jobbo was wearing the very same get-up ! Ahhhh..memories..`

[edhunter67]

LOve the old cricket gear. It should all make a comeback next year, except no-one plays cricket dressed like that anymore. Does that make old cricket jumpers collectors items?

Beautiful song. fantastic band.

[FrancoDamn]

This is a synthpop song by the skids. I'm only 20, but i like the rock/pop music of that era: punk, post-punk, new romantic, synthpop, indie.

[replicas79]

listen to the god of that era!Gary Numan

[DerVampyrEngel]

cool another numanoid replicas79

[cliftonperkins]

He was a good left back for Rangers too after the hair plugs and weight-training. They really do look alike though; weird. Real name Artur Webb mibbee.

[Swordman401]

i discovered the skids and Big Country only a few months ago but now there are my favriote bands. This is such an awesome song by a great band.

[Newktastic]

same here, i only disovered Big Country and the Skids this time last year when i was 16.. now they're my all-time fave bands! class song, great guitars and drums!

[shanejacobus]

Even though I am only familiar with a couple of songs through YouTube, I'm definitely starting to like The Skids just as much as I like Big Country.

[BobMonkfish]

Why is he dressed as a cricketers?! :)

[strummerino]

A cricketer's what?

[cliftonperkins]

Brideshead Revisited was on the telly. Say no more.

[macaroon4]
