Pop Will Eat Itself PWEI on Late Late Show RTE

[DOitTOtheCROWD]

Just saw this for the first time. I love the culture jamming here! I knew I was onto something when I found these guys.

[Biigfish559]

Hilarious!! The audience reminded me of the one in Monty Python, gently clapping whatever absurdity was shown. I have it on good authority that they were locked (ratarsed) when they eventually performed, at Gaybo's expense lol

[dahleric74]

This is the worst PWEI record..they sucked on Trents cock to poop out this turd...it barely sounds like them..wheres the PE influence?

[TheSkoobee]

That's one of the funniest things I've seen in years! What was the 'Death Toll'? lol!

And did any of them pogo?

What a great find!

[RedRockFilmFestival]

Reminds me of Johnny Rotten on American Bandstand, having members of the audience lip sync for him - hilarious. I believe Dick Clark called it "performance art."

[dickiedavieseyes]

I saw that live back in the day on the telly. It was rapid then, and still rapid now :-)

[venezia0875]

Ace, that is all!

[skrapyard444]

god look at all those old people in the audience

[cmuzeja]

So funny "miss the poppies"

[KevinH2k7]

i can imagine everyone in the audiences jaws dropping

[joeyheadset]

Oh dear :o

[festyosemtex]

ahahahahaaaaa.

[charlyd1979]

thank god someone put this up i thought i dreamt this but f**k it really happened

[marekgothfather]

the audience look petrified

[Indiekubatorius]

If they were wise and properly managed enought hey could be the Rage Against The Machine UK take... anyway ich ich bin ein auslander stilll...

[pea6]

A brilliant memory brought back to the surface.

[jwood36]

Bridie from Tullamore was never the same again after this

[KITCHENOFDISTINCTION]

Oh this man's jokes regarding HItler & the Catholic Church...now there's an interesting story

[KITCHENOFDISTINCTION]

Great song by a genius group in front of maybe one of the the most inappropriate audiences ever - brilliant posting, cheers.

[silverglobe]

Look at the crowd... pause it and really look at them.... funny as hell... So brilliant it almost looks staged!! but it's not lol... good work boys!!

[silverglobe]

what a great band!! miss these guys .. havent heard anything good since the bulletproof single .. and even that song was horrible lol..

[Taco550]

i think the two singers are gay.....

[willmferg]

the bassist is racist, you know that we must face this, yea, why is he holding the singer to prevent him from jumping through the roof?

[thrahsmetaldavid]

Those oaps could at least have pogo'd for a bit..... Lazy b*stards!

[Biigfish559]

heard the story from Fuzz the drummer but this is the first time I've seen it.Gay Byrne's hospitality bar was too accommodating! Class!!

[keo767p]

funny as f**k, the average age of the audience appears to be ninety 12, bet they were expecting f**kin Donny Osmond. Sample it. Loop it. F**k it. Eat it! Way to go poppies

[JohnTheHater]

lol @ 2:00

Guess he couldn't get that deep voice live.

[dcboron]

Thanks so much for the upload.

[dcboron]

Not of this world. Long live the Poppies!

[hollowmenrule]

this is amazing, that show is SOOOO TAME it's great, how'd they get on their!!!

[thedarkallies]

LOL, this wasn't a punk concert, it was a late night TV show???

woah, did someone inform them of that?

[WillyDIreland]

Ill never forget that night. I was around 16 years of age. My brother and I were pissing ourselves laughing.

They were about as out of place as Barrack Obama speaking at a Klan rally.

Anyone at Feile 95 when they played?

[webbhead92]

Did they enter the wrong studio by mistake?  Were they meant to be next door in TFI Friday or something?

[ouzodave]

WTF is on Grahams and Clints face hahahahahahahahahha

[BDngr]

clingwrap?

[ouzodave]

fooking amazing, love the poppies

[jok666]

Absolutely fantastic!!!

The "Blue Rinse" Brigade , must have shat themselves!

[arocknrollstar]

HAHA that crowd is so old.  Wonder how many heartattacks happened during this.

[gnarkill87]

lmao, yeah and how many hips needed to be replaced.

[lanehistory]

incredible band,what a great clip

[Sesquipedaliantique]

Is it me or does "The basis is racist" sound like "the bassist is racist"?

[brmanuk]

i was just thinking that!

[beornborg]

This can't be real.

[lexusboo]

marvelous!

[sxcshepsy]

just fucking mental lol

[ambivalentdeath]

so awesome

[StuntmanMikeL]

Haha, great! :D I wonder what is Clint shouting (i think it was him...) after the performance, but was interrupted by this old dude.

[777fugazi]

this old dude is the legendary Gaybo; for PWEI to be booked on his show is simply surreal! What on earth were they thinking?

ha ha ha ha ha ha!

brilliant find by your man who posted it!!

[aphextwwin]

This is so bad ass. Look at the crowd before that start. LMFAO.

[arclight2012]

This only proves even more to me how awesome the incredible PWEI was!

[MATMAN69]

ROFLMAO!!

[EvilCerealBoX]

Aside from the fake it seems the show is directed towards the elderly... What are those old people doing up so late?

[daddyanimal]

Bahhha, I rem. seeing this on the night in question with neighbours in the house. Everybody sat slack jawd, and slowy everybody turned to look at me like it was my fault 'cause I was rockin' a PWEI tee. Reaction wise at the time, it was the closest thing to summoning a mob of howling demons on the Late Late Show. Ahh, when live television mattered...

[Yossarian8t9]

I do

[spacetweek]

Ledge performance. They shook up the boring old farts big time.

Fair fucks to Gay for letting them on though, knowing well what they'd be like.

[webbhead92]

I saw these live at Coventry student union. Its a shame they split up cause they were starting to get better than good. Dos Dedos rocked big time and if they'd carried on they would now be a major force swatting these pretenders away no problem.

[beyondthegrave88]

Hell yeah!

[foxtweeg]

sweet performance! probably scared the shit out of those old farts!

[cgoudos]

That was sweet as hell. I loved them taking the piss out the show by completely trashing everything, exposeing the playback. PWEI forever!

[FargoJ02]

Pop Will Eat Itself is pretty cool, but what the hell were they doing in that show full of middle aged people? not that I have anything against middle aged people, but it feels SO out of place! lol, and the way the lead singer acted towards the end of the song sadly made clear that they weren't singing live, just doing some playback... oh well.

[trollfinger]

middle aged ? man thats from Ireland, so am i. they are all old. proper old.

[dazmalski]

This is the law!

Don't argue!!

its awful

[arocknrollstar]

haha, I like PWEI, but wtf were they doing on that show. haha

[gash923]

One of my fave bands but that was hilarious! Cheers for posting.

[TheBerzerker1]

I bet alot of the old people that were there didn't know what was going on.

[mayson5]

check out the audience! top stuff. what's the time?!

[siccoyote]

A bit like when Iron Maiden were told to mime and just did it really badly on purpose.

[jackjude]

This is painful- very funny. Hilarious how Gay Byrne claims to have 'invited them back to preform again,' pure Alan Partridge.

[benderbrau1156]

That was horrible, but PWEI rocks nonetheless.

[ripley228]

Looking at this again - still great! My only question is this:Is Crabbie trying to hump Clint?? Could it be the reason they split up?? ;)

[ripley228]

Great for us foreign suckers to get a chance to see great art!! THANKS!!!!!!!!!! We want 'em back now!!!!!!

[PopaIRL]

Lol, dats not for the late late at all!

[cthulufunk]

Actually, this isn't lip synched, it's the other way around. They got to the Late Late Show at the RTE studio and were told they'd have to play to a backing tape upon arrival at the studio. So they started drinking in the "hospitality room", teased Malcolm McLaren (give them a medal) and got loud. They were told to quiet down by staff, and one of the guests threatened to punch out Crabby if they didn't shut up. So, they put cellowrap on and went apeshit.

[angst242]

I love PWEI, but this video sux.

[Aracmia]

The audience don't look like PWEI fans...hehe

[XsuburbanblightX]

paul o grady's previous carrer is on here for a brief moment kids

[Mad2Bhere1]

wow not lip syncing!

[vaporpaper]

I think I just peed myself. That was amazing.

[annwyn3]

hyper - active poppies...i love it !! and i am sure the audience loved it too !!!

[RockyRoader]

Cracking stuff - gotta love it.

[pumapele]
