Screaming Blue Messiahs - Wild Blue Yonder

I don't own footage or music. But I do own all the Messiah albums. Record company lawyers please don't sue me or knock off audio again. I'm only trying to expose people to a great, sorely missed band.

I just got everything I wanted for Christmas. This is the best video MTV ever aired. Remember when they actually played music instead of swamp ginnys from Jersey punching and fucking each other. Man I miss the 80's. I wonder if I can find Belly of the Whale by Burning Sensation ?

@joeytwosubs I have a 45 of that tune. I'll try to digitize and post as a vid...

thanks for posting it. I saw one video on MTV way back when and bought the only album that was ever sold in Tennessee! Great sound!

[marcosmoure]

@KatoKnox well, i guess they had real good musical taste in TN back then... and today! Cheers!

I was lucky enough to see them in Wellington NZ at Victoria University.

It had a strong influence on my musical life afterwards.

Bill Carter played his guitar without a pick and a most unusual style.

I played this album so much in 1988.

Thanks for posting it.

@tablatom you're very welcome. I was never lucky enough to see them live but I also wore down that album down to the grooves!

I had to delete my previous upload of this video b/c the powers that be knocked off the audio. It had 33,000+ views and some great comments from Messiah fans. So my apologies to them. So, here it is again. With improved audio quality. Sorry the vid quality is crap. This time maybe record company lawyers will not be as eager to shut me up. My only reason for doing this: expose people to a great, sorely missed band.

Bill Carter is one of the few guitar heroes worthy of that title!

I have this and Bikini Red, are there more?

[hairwayz]

Thanks for uploading again. I liked how a whole bunch of people in your last upload had seen this on Radio With Pictures in NZ and never forgotten that moment. Shame we lost those comments.

I saw them at the SF Civic auditorium, April first 1988. They opened for Echo and the Bunnymen. It was a great show.
