My husband heard this song tonight for the first time and can't believe they didn't go national with this....so so close. They still could...so glad you guys are playing again! You are absolutely one of the most talented bands ever!
I just sawe the BAdlees again two weeks ago up in Jim Thorpe, they played Rivers Songs from beginning to end...it was really great to hear all those songs again...Pete hasn;t lost a thing. What fun!
I was in a band in 1980 WE called ourselves DRAKO........ my name is Donny Lee I was the drummer in the band Bret Alexander was the rhythm guitar, benji darrow was the lead guitar and ronny morgan was vocals........ I have heard the Bret alexander is part of this group called the badlees and I have been trying for years to contact him....... if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Got to meet them in 96 Williamsport PA Genetti Hotel, Pause 4 The Cause Benefit Show. I was head of security and my girlfriend at the time almost creamed her jeans over Pete Palladino, and now I see why, he was pretty! LOL
I saw the Badlees open for Sonia Dada at the Vogue in Indianapolis. I've seen a lot of concerts over the years but that one was perfection. There was no warmup slump. The whole night rocked at max power and the place was packed.
Thanks for posting this - I'm a huge fan of Julianna, and when I heard she had made this video, there was no Youtube and I don't ever remember it being on VH1 or MTV - I had given up hope of seeing it! Anyone know the story behind the song - was Angeline someone the band knew?
I used to watch these guys play all the time being that they were from Harrisburg Pa, Pete the lead singer and Jeff the bassist used to have an acoustic set at a local bar here on friday and saturdays, they where good
She's not a pig!!! She is not claiming to be "Angeline", but she's playing the role showing what "Angeline" delt with in her life. She did a pretty good job, for not knowing the real person.
And yes, scottecannon, the fear of falling video was shot on the harrisburg bridge by the hospital. They're from this area and wanted a video from their homearea. Thank you for helping clear up some things.
The song is great, the band is great, and so is JM's performance!
I co-produced several videos for the boys way back in the day with the "Out of Focus" TV show out of W-B/Scranton. Great bunch of guys and musicians. The main reason for Julianna Margulies apearance in the video was that the video was directed by Anthony Edwards(Dr. Green)from E.R. who were both on the show at the time. The Fear of Falling video was not from the NYC shoot but done a year or two before. I think it may have beed shot in Harrisburg.
See, she was cast because she's beautiful and they were trying to market their video to the masses. She's not claiming to be Angelina. She's playing a role. Not brain surgery here. Chill out honey.
I remember seeing them at the Herndon House before they got big. When Diamonds in the Coal came out. I saw them a couple of years ago playing the carnival circuit. Not all of the original members were there. These guys were a lot better than they got credit for.
I remember the video preview but MTV or VH1 never seemed to air this video! THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR POSTING!! I hope to bump into you at an upcoming show to thank you in person!
My dad worked with them before. He used to be the light and sound technitian for Club Met(the Metron) in Harrisburg. It's now a family dollar :( They're really nice guys. This song is really sad. It's my favorite. It's so sad that she died.
haha, i meant to put song.. i feel like it is my song** i was talking to my boyfriend when i was typing that- and i told him i was coming home soon, cause i really miss him like crazy! love you babe..
Hey I was in this video when I was a little girl !in the hopscotch scene you see me briefly im the one with the long hair it was awsome doing the video i was about six I think Im eighteen now !
I knew these guys before they made a hit. We partied at Jitterbugs in Wilkes-barre pa. They are great guys and alot of fun to hang with. I remember them always. Thanks Lynn for having them!!!!!!!!!
Definitely. I have seen them live several times and I have to say though, seeing them in a small venue like I did at the one place made for a fabulous time. Pete, aahh, can't say enough great things about him either! lol
I was surprised I must say the first time I saw them, that that big booming voice came from a that little guy! AWESOME! I hear he's a chef in Philly now.
I a HUGE Badlees fan, it's just ashame there isn't some newer videos available on here. They did a tv special a few years back that was filmed in NYC, I got to be there for the filming, and it would make for some amazing videos. Too bad there isn't a way for me to get it uploaded onto the computer. These guys are great and have only gotten better.
I donno wanna be a b-ch about it but I just though if peoople was searching for Julianna you spelled her name wrong it's Julianna Margulies... I think the video is really great and the song is too.
I don't think the guys could put out a bad song. Too much talent in the band. I just wish they'd play the Poconos. :o)
