Did they ever do a video for Run, Run, Run?

that song gives me the chills...

[nzoz1982]

I don't think they did... and it is a great song!

[primarybenelux]

Heh, I'm watching this 25 years to the day that it was filmed. (Well, it's still the 17th here today.)

[nzoz1982]

now I'm going to watch it too!!!!

[dustanyonedust]

i think we need to be making plans for nigel....

[linnida]

so good it hurts...early hunnas always my prefered era...their first three albums are stone-cold classics!!!

[TheNouveauxdecadence]

Unfortunately, this isn't on the cd version of their first album. Does anyone know why??? Is it on the vinyl?

[uglybustards]

seymours book is a good read on this early stuff and how it came from perano, if you read between the lines. borrow it off someone or read it in dymocks chapter at a time at lunch....thats what commo seymour would have wanted

[mfactor88]

hunnas were pretty much UNIQUE world wide(the only vaguely similar band was Shriekback (my spine is the bassline) they tried to be american to make money yet failed. australias best of the best the only other 2 were the OILS and INXS thats it, end of story.nothing else has happened since or will in my lifetime m50 oh most defintely yes i was there

[bluejeckett]

@linnida Yeh it started for me when I saw Talkiing to a Stranger and grew from there when I sought that album and then loved the wierd arse tracks and got the other early albums, one of the most innovative things Ive ever heard and tye were Melbournians!! lol

[bluejeckett]

@palehorsepalerider They wanted to crack a market? lol

[Devito46]

Steaming bass line.

[TheNouveauxdecadence]

It amazes me how original and sublime Hunters & Collector's were in 1982 and the band they ended up becoming!

They ended up making such shit music yet their early stuff is completely GENIUS beyond words!

[marcelkonings60]

This is a fantastic song! I love it. It is uneasy and discomforting and that is why it works for me.

[palehorsepalerider]

yeh what happened after the third one. It just seemed to turn to most uninspired tripe.
