Use of headphones highly recommended.

Brilliant live cover of Suicide's "Ghost Rider" recorded in 1983 for the BBC.
I have enhanced the sound and converted it to stereo with audio procesing software, now it sounds much better than the poor original!
Marc Almond and Dave Ball were clearly influenced by Suicide, the cover of this mythic track from 1977 was their personal tribute to the NY duo. Guest vocals here by Jim Thirwell (aka Clint Ruin, Jim Foetus, etc). Gary Barnacle on sax.

Back in the there was so much competition to be the baddest indie star. I remember it so well. The Aussies were here in force - Jim, Nick, the boys from The Triffids and the Go-Betweens. Who could take the most drugs, who could ask for the biggest riders and they all wanted to play with Marc. Bless them all and it's so sad about the ones that are not here anymore.

I agree to cover suicide is kinda tabu. They did do it fairly early though, 83? Suicides legends only grown an grown since then, more people listening now then ever I imagine... Anyway. I think they did a good job, throwing in "Johnny Johnny Johnny" making it a bit of a medley. Got to give soft cell a lil more respect I suppose. Or not... who cares :-)

Feotus and Marc Almond equal geniuses!! Wow!

[458BC]

Jim Foetus/ Clint Ruin is a complete bad-ass motherfucker and he is the fucking king of the world. He puts the other singer to shame.



[Goatboyfly]

Now that's what I call Rock'n'Roll! Awsome!

[theonlyennix]

its like the make fun of Suicide's song. nooneo have the right to cover this song, even if their record company have the right and said to.

[Alma889900]

Marc is so cute and funny when he is lying on the floor and screaming into the microphone. The other dude is cool and great version of a Suicide song!!

[sbsteven56]

really undergound !

[StarsWithScars]

J. G. Thirlwell aka Steroid Maximus aka Clint Ruin aka Wiseblood aka Manorexia. has the better voice! More insanity and power sounds through. The perfect opposite of the softcell singer
