Very stoney...

@alonewithduanebarry actually the furs are very much influenced by punk...post-punk.
-
Johnny Rotten comparison? Pathetic. This is music, not punk.
-
He thought he was Johnny Rotten pmsl
-
God Damn it he is good. LOVE LOVE LOVE this band and Richard is one of the best lead vocalists of all time.
-
@Rikitocker I bet you he was not trying to sound like anyone. His voice is about as real and original as you can get.

@Simon4642 Aren't you clever? Using the song lyrics in your poorly scrawled snark. What an intellectual you are. We both like the Furs and that's good enough. I'm just not going to sit by when some asshat says the PIstols were nothing, because they started and popularized punk rock, and upended the music industry and threw the doors open to experimentation, including the Furs, who would never have had a record deal without the Pistols. Fuck Rolling Stone. Utter rag. Best brush up before applying

@nri1969 I don't know which MTV you were watching, but the one I was watching would play the Furs or The Clash about once in a blue moon, and you had to sit through hours of garbage. Makes me shudder to think about what an utter waste of time television was, but thank god it's over. Love My Way did get a lot of play, and Pretty In Pink because they were in movies. 120 minutes was pretty good, though, and I used to tape it religiously. Ah, the days before craprap and boybands and Clear Channel.

@adater There is similarity in the monotony of the vocals, but both bands are totally critical to the history of music, and completely different.
Don't diss the Pistols, they're monsters in the history of music, and blew the doors open for all the bands behind them. The Clash followed them and put out far more music that was far more complex, but Strummer quit his band and formed the Clash after he saw the Pistols.
Noone's ever touched the sound the Furs found. People are too conformist now.

Johnny Rotten clone? Rotten never sang with anywhere near the style and texture of this guy

MTV used to play the video for this song quite a lot in late '81 and early '82, and I remember being pretty blown away by it. MTV was actually kind of a valuable resource back then; you could hear music there that you couldn't hear anywhere else. Sure most of it was fairly ordinary, but one tune like this was worth ten of the rest.
