@baselstrasse many times, and i mean that most of the people that goes into that kind of work, knows that they can not go into be a music artist, if you can not do things like he does, if you want to only earn your money by that way, because i mean that most artist is most often very intelligent. So if you think that music groups like Depceche Mode, Kraftwerk or Roddy Frame, can not just only play one music instrument and sing, so that it sounds good enough, then i do not agree with you.
Thank for your response, but I don't know exactly what you mean. If you mean that artists like Depeche Mode etc. have to be very talented in order to achieve success, then you are probably right. I also believe that they were in the right place at the right time. What I tried to say is: I do not often see musicians who can perform on their own like this, without a whole busload of musicians supporting them, and do so well.

Gosh the memories, remember seeing aztec camera at the royal albert hall in london in 1989 i think it was with my new hunky boyfriend, can't even remember his name. Loved this song in particular and was touched that a guy sang it. Obviously a great bloke
how time flies...im 42 now and it seems like only yesterday when this song came out....roddy frame,paddy,the smiths,weller were my heroes..i grew up with these artists and their songs.....godbless you roddy..
@MrSharpsharpsharp ...yeah he does look awesome...but then again, in '82 he was all of 18, I think! LOL Wish I could have seen them live, you're pretty lucky. :-)
Only other guy i can think of to write a song from a female point of view is Morrisey " This Night Has Opened My Eyes "...two of my favourite songwriters.
him there, he knows how to play a guitar.

Simply great. That's a real musician, one who only needs a guitar and his voice to wow the crowd. How often do you see that nowadays?
