Inspiral Carpets - Saturn 5

[futuristfood]

close my eyes and it's Julian Cope! love it!

[topclub1976]

Remember this song, bought it for an ex that fancied the pants off the lead singer. Put it this way, the cost of the single was well worth it!!!

[lewis72]

IMO, this sounds SO Stranglers; that's a good thing!! ("Something Better Change" meets "Hanging Around")

[Hocunto]

@lewis72 No-one else has spotted this but you are spot on!

[HitmanJenkins1]

I clicked solely for the trippy thumbnail, awesome music!

[ctidcarl]

Inspirals to support The Roses at Heaton Park........ we need this!!!

And Northside too!!!

Happy Daze!!!!

[bohsblur]

@ctidcarl, AGREED buddy, inspirals would get the crowd

going nuts before the roses come on. moo!

[ctidcarl]

@bohsblur Cool as fook bud!!

We know!!

[rodrigitotube]

That wonderfull but brief period between  the Hairy trashed 80's and the grunge era.

[artdentphdent]

Best thing to come out of MADchester and I like the Roses

[bohsblur]

@SpecSavers92 , Tom is a legend but jesus but its

great to have them back with new material and

tours. inspirals will never die.

[benjaminrichardshoop]

!!! yes!!!

[markmywords312]

For all The Word got bad press it ALWAYS had good music. Personally I found terry christian funny, then again I own Europe's largest cotton bud collection...mail me for details

[C0mfortablyDumb]

Moo!

[scumfleck]

fuck the carpets and fuck the word

[felgercarb73]

Seen the Carpets live several times and they do indeed rock.

[captaincomputa]

Classic performance,should make a comeback and play the Echo Arena

[stuarty72]

fuckin bangin group could show the shit they pass for music these days right up

[Os151985]

Now this is music for the selected few. Not for the masses. They're listening to shit like lady gaga and American pop-rap.

[ELMcADAM]

My band are supporting their lead singer in august haha...

[kahhnn]

Whoooo!!!!!

[TheeReturn]

What a Chorus!!

[TheTwelfthOfMay]

[SallyCinnamonette]

Cool as f---!

[xvaughanx]

tom hingley did lectures at my college and gilly lived across the road from me

[roben12341]

hahaha i dont realize how they rejected noel gallagher as singer xD

[xvaughanx]

@roben12341 well the inspirals were an established act and noel was just another roadie plus tom hingley

[davyvd]

Great song !!! Will never forget the tune...

[MrsSheellshock]

This Songs Is AMAZING! FUCKING AMAZING! ♥

[DirSport]

Clint shreds on the keys. Who's Tom wearing on his T-shirt, Nero Wolfe?

[ericsrightboot]

@DirSport ha ha, first glance i thought it was mel smith!!! Clearly not, though that would be a wicked T-shirt!

[nottforest]

[LoweyRamone]

[smithdvr]

@LoweyRamone there good but not that good.

[MOLLYRICO]

Great stuff! Glad I came across this. Not seen this before, still my favorite band. Hope they tour again soon. Moooooooo!!

[carlos7217]

clint is a fkn star,greatr guy and top writer,great tunes,my 1st gig was these at hull on the beast inside tour and they blew me away

[TheLaughingSphinx]

A great scene all round. I saw The 'roses at Glasgow Green at their peak and this was all way before the brit-pop shite between blur and No Way, Piss!

[LockNLoadEvents]

See you down the front!!

[inspiralroses]

I've just had one or two absinthes, so I might not be really objective, but this ISISISISIS one hell of extremely cool shit, fuckyfuckyfucky!!!

Here, we have the proof why U2 still have to pose!!! What a pity, they had such good songs as well ...

[MrTyburn]

was once at the opening of an indie club in munich! before indie happend in europa, they were playing dark stuff bauhaus! iggy! and other non digestible music, luckily we saved the dj that night with a few cd,s outa the rucksack, one of which was the inspirals....he must of played this song on repeat all night...whilst the mancs took the club by storm......unforgetable song thankyou inspirals....

[inspiralroses]

Yeah, it must have been a damn good evening! I like the formula "saved the DJ". Hope he said thank you.

Don't be too hard with german rock, though. Superpunk ist not bad at all, and Einstürzende Neubauten might be dark, but in certain moments they stand fpr wht they did.

Still, right now, I'd rather go for IC than EN.

Thanks for your answer.

[MrTyburn]

thanks for your kind comment...i have worked with theatre of hate and spear of destiny for many years,and have seen many different and wonderfull faces of german club/alternative music. one of which was an alternative night in berlin.where the entire club was dressed in period clothing circa 17th/18th centuary and were waltzing to the music wow unreal to witness, getting back to thread pretty sure we got a few joy division and we definatly got so young/tell me played sr.......

[MrTyburn]

where have those heady manc days/ nights of unity through music gone? u know flares/long hair hacienda olympics t shirt!!..ok we got old but hey we lived and witnessed first hand that is great for me!!!!!!

[inspiralroses]

Hey MrT, thanks fpr your comments. Ever thought of writing down your memories? I can imagine you'd have lots of cool things to tell. Besides, thanks for naming Theater of Hate and Spear of Destiny. Two new ones to add to my list of band I want to get to learn deeper. Cool. I've tubed 'em. Sound extremely exciting!

[MrTyburn]

your welcome!! nice to be nice!!! have a look at theatre and spear been around for years,charts ,,tv,, wembley supporting u2..very very big in alternative new wave days. even hooky has got the cds of spear. he knicked them from me at the hacienda gigs with spear

[MrTyburn]

ha ha memoirs indeed..from punk to newwave, hacienda indy overnight to acid house, this old dogs been around, once stopped a stone roses gig at the ritz in manchester on monday night for scrappiing in the mosh. ian looked down at the mess and never came back on stage oh dear, great days

[MrTyburn]

stone roses first release so young/ tell me 12inch recorded at strawberry studios was fetching 1oo quid a go....is this still the case? i got 2 copies still sealed.

[bohsblur]

oasis and so many other bands owe

inspiral carpets so much for making

indie music popular to like.

never be another band like them.

cool as fuck, indeed....

[revdishydave]

boonarmy!!!

[SimonB67]

Martyn Walsh the guitarist is my business adviser...bizarre

[yammyrob]

[bohsblur]

TOM HINGLEY for P.M.

[TomthatiscalledTom]

Tom Hingley for King

[NoPrivacyANYMORE10]

Three children, 12 years married, nearly forty...still thinks she's 18 when she bopped to this, lol

[rhythm2007mc]

@NoPrivacyANYMORE10 At the end of the day as you get older you will realize that forty is not that old. Time goes way too fast ;) You'll be boppin' when your 40 am sure m8 :P

[carlos7217]

[wildenfree]

@carlos7217 Maybe, but this group will always be ..Cool as Fuck

[carlos7217]

oasis are babies ,noel's cool though

[wildenfree]

Nope Noels a one trick Pony with Wonderwall and should have remained the roadie

Inspirals forever

[patkawasaki]

more evidence of The Word bringing the best tunes to me in the 1990s. Ace

[wildenfree]

Your right on there mate..Golden Days they were

and despite the ribbin he gets Tel was a crucial part of the scene.

[EarlERizer]

How the fuck did this song merge into the hardcore rave tune of the same name & band???? im baffled!!!

[RebLJ]
