The Jesus And Mary Chain - April Skies

[coxybhoy2008]

Glasgow produces best bands, no other city compares!

[Morrizzex]

to all these kids that want or think that are cool...!!! just listen to this MOFOS!!! nuff said!!!

[warbastard]

quality riff

[FunnyFarmGirl]

Sun grows cold

Sky gets black

And you broke me up

And now you wont come back

Shaking hand, life is dead

And a broken heart

And a screaming head

U n d e r t h e a p r i l s k y . . .

[gyqz]

Saw them in '88 in Den Haag...just one wall of noise...GREAT... Better than My Bloody Valentine...(I love the studioworks of MBF, but live they were shit)

[Morrizzex]

jamc are the dogs bolloks!!!

[Tirdfish]

Ahh cool record.

I can see where Glasvagas get inspired.

Not sure about the Cure influence, I always thought Velvet Underground myself.

All cool btw.

[Huckleberryj]

its just the hair i think, comparing them to the cure is pretty dumb

[AspiringScoundrel]

These fellows aren't anywhere near as self-conscious as The Cure; they're simply cool.

[robmcginley]

Oh I just love this song...Its 1987 and Miss Gordon is around!! Happy days for sure!!!

[fiachrahackett]

They are really really similiar to the pixies

their sound is really like Trompe le Mond

[justdavester]

... You mean the Pixies' Trompe le Mond sounds a lot like The Jesus and Mary Chain.

[psy7ch]

You do know this record was released 4 years before Trompe le Mond?

[fiachrahackett]

Yeah I know it was released before but I wasn't alive when it was released

and I listened to the pixies first so in my head it works that way I only said that the pixies album trompe le monde has a a similiar sound and the pixies even do a cover of Head On...........

[EarlGreyIII]

fair comment, if thats the way you heard it first

[Rhodentette]

You guys do realise that there's actually a J&MC track on Trompe le Monde, right? :)

[fiachrahackett]

yeah I said "and the pixies even do a cover of Head On..........."

[Akuyoung]

Simply one of the best sounds ever made. That's all folks.

[djimi66]

The Cure?? I reckon there's more Beach Boys in them than Cure ...

[chaperodeturno]

son dios en vida.....amor y odio.....noise......

[moodycelt]

now them were the days

[kbeathappening]

JAMC's

noise

lima, nov 6

thanks god

[Ayanamo]

How many bands have copied THe Cure? Just tell me that

[Alexi162]

LOOOTS LOL ;]

[twiggysmith]

it's not a cure copy! the cure is an influence and it'll ever be. JAMC is great, but it's not a copy.

[MYNARUALGA]

WOW! This song blew my mind! I love it!

[danditoh]

I miss those days, everyting seems so fake nowadays... :(

[MonkeysAreBrown]

You know, being born to late isn't so great either.

=)

[harryspoonpotter]

wat, like their accents?

[noisysoul]

the same feeling here

[iamautomaticman]

OFTEN IMIATATED NEVER DUPLICATED IS THE JESUS AND MARY CHAIN. these guys were so far

ahead of their time , at least 20 yrs. this is

why their music sounds fresh still .how many

bands have copied this sound ?

[knifegirl11]

Great band - love that full, old guitar sound. MINT band.

[1970ferret]

superb absolutely love this track

[Johindes]

Love it!

[soupkitten]

sometimes people try too hard in youtube comments.

sometimes people just watch the videos.

[shaunyMP72]

you no what?Thats just it,like DC say full of experts.

Just Enjoy...

[Tmps1]

Don't worry... they have a disease known as: D-egraded

U-rologists

M-entally

B-ombed

A-s

S-eperated

S-cience.

That's why they're primitive fools... they were born the way they are and can't change it :(

[automatwinslaytracks]

too much

[Lethas1]

Why did I get thumbs down?

Are you idiotic or something? the jerk replied to my comment saying something unlogical.

I explained how genetics work.

By the way, there's nothing wrong in sexual related-things, it's completely natural and it relieves stress to a lower level. Some things such as religion make it seem grotesque.

I personally recommend you to think about the base of a subject; though I assume most of you don't understand urology/genetics.

Thank you for your time.

[Aristurtle89]

am i the only person here who isnt fixated on penises? seriously, this is a MUSIC VIDEO and you're all debating the size of some guy's DICK!?

(he said 'debating'! uh-huh-huh-huh-hurrr!)

[toastedworm]

bunch of assholes haha

[Lethas1]

Uh... yes there's lots of things that make it grow...

Did you know genetics are the main reason it grows?

Oh and Charlyfett, very nice grammer and by the way, the ass is seperated from the penis incase you didn't know.

The penis is infront because it has to be cool to work properly for sperm reasons amongst others.

[dontpanicblink]

what a great song

[MARDLtransmit]

Great song, great band.

True fact: several years ago, this song was used in a Toyota ad.

[Justfilloutthe111111]

this song is killing me...

[charlyfett]

your penis grow into your ass?

[phlupp3008]

respect^^

[stevicki]

You know there's a disease that makes that happen don't you?

[Brenho]

Great. Now you can go fuck yourself.

[GuyInChair206]

man, it was always tough to decide whether to button that top one

[bartje314]

Beste nummer van 1987, en nog een hele tijd daarna. F ik mis je!

[phomiffy]

my favorite.. the best song ever

[cfraquelli]

Listen to the Raveonettes, a Danish band. They are heavily influenced by Jesus and the Mary Chain and they're really good.

[mhisk8isapunker]

great song, perfect band.

[YeahManWoot]

Pretty nice song! Ha!

[simonyada]

yeahh what a amazing song!

[HeirApparent01]

Voor Sheila. En Sophie.

Eylders.

Zorg maar dat je er bent. Stelletje kutwijven.

Altijd maar weer weglopen, naar die kutfeestjes en dat gesodemieter.

Al die geheime kutafspraakjes.

Teringwijven.SONY betaalt.You bet your ass.XXXGuido

[rkpetersen]

The Mary Chain IS a great band. But actually there are quite a few bands like them around today, because they were very influential. Try the Raveonettes or BRMC. And of course, JAMC themselves are back together and touring as well. Saw them night before last and they were better live than ever.

[arrowfield57]

fantastic-

great band- nothing like it around today

[locoporelmagnum]

EXELENTE !!!!

[HereIsTheSexPistolsX]

I love it=D

[adrenachrome05]

Say hi to her, by the way, I gave her a nasty disease !, bye, bye.

[adrenachrome05]

This song reminds me of the 8 months I spent with a Spanish girl before she had to go home. Had me write down all the lyrics for her,it was her favourite song....Happy days !!.

[gekkomatic]

These days ,,,I'm going out with her...You're a hardluck :))

[civeniv]

muy muy buen tema!!

[Guthrie1267]

Great song, the chain know how to belt out a tune.

[LEMMYIAN]

[gldmj55]

Perfectly crafted pop song.

[reboxetinmesilat]

Those were the days!!!

[xMadelienex]

I love this song so much,it's purely addictive.

[saschka7]

The question to be asked isn't "Who are the top 5 best bands ever", it's "What are the top 5 reasons why the Jesus & Mary Chain are the best band in the world".

[orlandm999]

is strange but I miss the puta noise

[Detroit1967]

Beats 99% of today's Pop music. Ace song!

[mothragojira]

I like this song...

[lamornababe]

This is one song that deamds to be played as loud as your speaker will go

[methonialiartos]

They are fantastic.

They are exactly how a rock band should be.

[krisheirwegh]

strange music... i love it.

[historyisthefuture]

i [] jamc

[bubblegummel]

awsomness x

[RocksyCloud]

they`re all influenced by The Cure or Joy Division, come on... but they`re all good bands too..

[modfather41]

If you like this song, and other J&MC tunes, listen to GLASVEGAS, the latest band from Glasgow

[therealzuko]

tambien es de mis bandas favoritas, excelente

[junichirosmith]

you are such an ignorantarsehole

[AIFL]

Yeah they do, coz im fucking bored of everything that this mediocre life throws at me and so were they, so, good point Mr Hole!!

[EliAlEim]

you hit the nail right on the head

[TFFrocknroll]

Yeah, I mean, they're SO boring, it's not like their audience would EVER do something interesting like COMPLETELY TRASH £8k worth of stuff at a venue and have a HUGE mega legendary riot...

oh, no, wait a second...

[Justfilloutthe111111]

one of their best songs

[decoreh]

one of the best 5 bands of the 80's,its so sweet ,jesus...

[junichirosmith]

...and the other 4??

[AIFL]

Can I be so bold to interupt, the other four would be New Order, The Smiths, Echo and the Bunnymen and the Cocteau Twins! I'm up for a debate!!

[likeagiantclam]

Yep. Good call. I'd put the Psychedelic Furs in there too.

[decoreh]

i post that comment {page no.2} i said ''one of the best 5 bands of the 80's' and youre not so bold i agree with the second and the last band you mentioned,aifl

[VUandChips]

Hare Krishna!

[acidtones1]

Allanclare.... How about we kick your ass!

[decoreh]

well i said that thesse guys re one of the best bands of the 80's the other 4 i think.. {numbers doesn't matter} 1 other guys from scotland {ilove scotland} 2 some guys from manchester {yeah you know} 3 a english guys whom in their beggins were dark {actualy not} 4 some guys from boston { and no, they re' no galaxie 500 but G. 500 would be one of the best 10}/elder wemlesh\

[AIFL]

Yeah I love the Pixies and I love Scotland, well I should I live there. Primal Scream? by any chance or maybe Orange Juice?

[orlandm999]

estas en todo lo correcto, todavia compite por las mejores bandas de la musica, es una de mis favoritas

[matrags]

Was Bobby Gilespie in this band at one time?

[arita2006]

yes, he was.

[nicunurse72]

he was the drummer on Psychocandy..see the Just Like Honey video..

[schuberttweakle]

Great fuckin' song, one of the few decent bands in a shit decade for music.

[sirlee1001]

well cool

[nixontankgirl]

we used to go to 'the asylum' on the weekend and 'the ritz' on alternative night. fuck they were the days, born in the north, live in the north, work in the north, die in the north... was great at the time but then i moved to new zealand....!! ;=)

[slashy79]

[AlfredRusselWallace]

[blbutterflies]

[abraxis20]

one of my all time faves

[homesickalienpoet]

"I'm just your long time curse..."

[rimsystem]

the lyrics of "The Jesus And Mary Chain" are awesome

[alanfreud]

sounds like brmc,,,?> wat the fuc they eat brmc for breakfast and then shit them out for diinner ,,, scotlands finest

[donnajadataya]

Takes me back to the age of 14 in the easter holidays of Aril 1987, oh what memories. Got to be the the best band of all times. I can even say that 20 years on.

[mccarts72]

Thanks for posting. I remember listening to this and going to the beach.

[blondestrat]

now i know where the stone roses are coming from!

[Gipsieboy]

all music of this genre has only one band to thank....the ORIGINAL inventors: VELVET UNDERGROUND!!!

[dtarsopaulo]

And who cares about it???

This video is about TJMC! Not about Velvet Underground!

Grow up!

[minedarea]

To fucking right! With out the Velvets there'd be no Jesus and Mary Chain, Spacemen 3 or My Bloody Valentine. In fact there's be no decent rock 'n' roll at all.

[theteels]

love the chainnnnnnnn, saw them in the barrowland in glasgow... brill

[davidhendry23]

anyone know if there is a best of album. well gettin into this. sound a wee bit like brmc which is good!! xx

[felixorsati]

the best of album is "21 singles"

[homesickalienpoet]

Forget that, just buy anything by them that you can get your hands on...its all good!

[40yrOLDsexPERVERT]

if one thing comes to mind when i think of the jesus and mary chain its gotta be their kick ass dance moves.

[djimi66]

Can't tell you how much I love this song. Awesome guitar. Thanks so much for posting. Jimbo

[Johindes]

this is so cool, I remember it comin out in the charts at the time and it was brilliant then.

[Ptuutti]

This haven't aged a bit. A timeless classic!

[mushroom681]

They are so damn cool!

[maykeliskofild]

Gods of shoegaze!were not worthy!were not worthy!

[LitanyCrash]

No you most certainly aren't bloody worthy, seeing as you dare try to pigeonhole these gods with that truly abysmal and meaningless term.

[jahfhaili]

awright...

[cocotheninja]

still got this on vinyl,and still give it a turn,timeless classic

[kelart]

still fresh!

[raborian]

can't wait to check em out at electric picnic!!

[spyplanet]

Love it!

[Hauerhauer]

a word of support to GatchmanG4 - I'm probably as old as you now but do not feel it. Just think how we enjoyed these great bands and feel sorry for today's kids with all this garbage being produced...We are the lucky ones, just like our parents were the lucky ones in the 50's and 60's.

[raborian]

couldn@t agree more about ur sentiments about the indie garbage of today. this stuff is in adifferent league!!

[GatchamanG4]

I agree, great song..man I feel old!
