Hetero Female here.....And I still love Andy and Vince....Been to a couple of their concerts..best times in my life....I have a huge stack of Erasure CDs..And am always thirsty for more... Long Live Andy and Vince!!!!!!!!!!
I agree skrikon 90% of my friends are staright and when erasure come along and tour,we have the best nights out ever. I just think bands like erasure are just a bit camper than some....But me as a gay man, i dont follow andy cos hes gay, i follow erasure through thier music and have made loads of friends worldwide gay and striaght, just through the love of erasures music....ive met andy n vince approx 35 times over the yrs and i love em
Erasure never broke up. Andy's solo career is similar to Dave Gahan doing stuff in between Depeche Mode albums. Andy and Vince are working on new material as we speak :)
I remember this song being played on the radio! Unfortionately I had never heard of him or erasure by that time... I was just eleven or so... Great song!
@kaspervzzzbx brilliant ...look out for andys solo album in may 2010 and the tour later in the year...the best tours nights ever!!! Unless youve been , dont comment
I have strived my existence since the age of 8 listening to Erasure and bronski beat/communards music and im straight ... His lyrical skills are divine and nightbird/i say i say i say are my all time favourites ..Take me back is Golden
I am so fucking tired of these gay music bullshit! There is no such thing as a "gay song"! Maybe I'm wrong? Many people say that synthpop is gay, but I am as straight as a man can be, and synthpop is my life! And this song has become one of my favourites! Love Andy Bell and Erasure!
Strikon - I think the other side of the coin is when you have an openly gay artist like Andy Bell - his music will tend to have a gay message or theme on occasion. Having said that - I'm also as straight as an arrow and grew up on Freddie Mercury, Bowie, Erasure, Depeche Mode etc and firmly believe that good music is good music - it doesnt matter who sings it. I had the pleasure of seeing Erasure live in the 80's in London and what a night that was - incredible!!!
@mack89464 UM---GAY IS GAY! I am GAY and appreciate the artists being lOVED because they are gay--u still sound ignorant protecting your closeted sexuality! thx loveugodbless, t and j kabbalah matthewshepard madonnalicious ps...seek therapy!
@skrikon UM---GAY IS GAY! I am GAY and appreciate the artists being lOVED because they are gay--u still sound ignorant protecting your closeted sexuality! thx loveugodbless, t and j kabbalah matthewshepard madonnalicious ps...seek therapy! tire of this gay music BS? GAY IS ART GAGA! Straight men couldnt make this! thX!
watching this video, i can see the relevance to HIV- its very clever. the white men looking for a way out are the white t-cells in the body and the black figures are the nasty HIV cells looking to infect the cell. I think the backdraft of fire are the anti-virals coming in to destroy the HIV cells referring to his medication. The structure of the building is a t-cell. Watch it again...well done andy! Genius!
Certainly issues of "impersonation within a system" here...it *could* be a story about an immunoviruses.
But the building doesn't look like a T-cell (they are blobby and round). Rather, the building and the artistic style are a pretty clear allusion to the Master Control Program from TRON. The "map" which is in the elevator looks like that face, and it also looks like a Hasse diagram [see wikipedia]
When fox-wearer gets in the elevator and pushes the "Bell" button he becomes Andy Bell, hmm..
The songs avoid gender specific pronouns, and are mostly kept vague enough that someone outside of the gay community wouldn't recognize any innuendo. If you didn't know that Andy is gay, you were probably just listening to the songs.
Andy has always been VERY obviously gay in concerts and most videos. The only way that I can think of that they ramped up 'the gay' is that Andy cut his hair short and started working out more after he caught HIV. He's certainly not wearing a dress like he used to.
I think that's actually supposed to be representative of the biological structure of the HIV virus. It's also the shape of the building the video takes place in. I think.
If you´d be on retrovirals for a very long time, you´d look different too. Anyway, Andy is a great person and great musician... and nobody can take him away ¨the dance he has danced¨. Salut, Andy!
Un buen video y una buenisima rola....no se porque no le dieron la promocion que se merece....Bravo Andy Bell.....esto es lo que debe hacer un buen artista!!!!Cheers!!!!!!
Andy Bells brilliant track does not allude to his HIV status. For the person who posted this track - Why mention his status at all? Why is it so important to you? I've the got the lyrics to the song here in front of me and there is no obvious allusion to HIV whatsoever. People like you are annoying - Just post the song and enjoy the video and the music - Leave your assertions to yourself.
Andy Bell is not the crazy we are. I have become aware of friends being HIV and they do go crazy with the way that we sterotype them. Listen to the words of what is being said and what isn't Talk to a HIV person and you will see the relevance to this song.
I LOVE HIM!!!!!!!!!!! Akorát nechápu, jeho HIV, když proti tomu tak bojoval. Tak proč bojoval a stejně se podle toho neřídil??? Je to jeho věc, ale nechci aby nám umřel......
theres nothing cheesy bout his/their recent music!!!!.. shimmering..seductive, full of nuance..deep..insightfull are more apt words..cheesy meaning lacking taste..poor quality
I am so sorry that the actual playing of instruments lacks the refinement of post disco backing tracks. I believe you're referring to a song by a band called "Drive By Truckers" in your "trucker" reference, but I'm sorry to report they actually don't write music for you to dance and bang guys in the bathroom to...
a fag who hates himself is his own worst enemy...ur bitter comments only reflect upon the tug of war within urself..let ur hair down cinderella..even in a pick up truck or truck stop..
You can come up with as much poorly linked conjecture as you'd like to feel better about you butt pirate life, but at the end of the day, your breathe still has semen on it.
ur bitter venom filled refrences to hiv,semen,bathroom sex, butt piracy..ur love of trucker songs and hard rock show how deeply conflicted and tortured u are..we all know a straight man doesnt need to prove himself as ur a so desperately trying to do..move on hun..let ur hair down cinderella and play safe at those truck stops.
I don't troll your sounds & leave nasty comments! Obviously you get off on baiting other youtubers... What did you expect? If you don't like this particular type of music then 'so be it' - don't come here intentionally & upset people who do!!! So stevedahl - once again - fuck off!
Im also a depeche fan im also a erasure and pet shop boy fan.Andys album is class,when it was released i ordered it in hmv,i asked the chap that was working there why it was not on the shelve as a new release and the answear he gave me was it was not selected to be good enough......sad people that made that decision
