Bought it immediately when came to stores in Belgrade, Serbia, I think a half or a year later then in UK and was listening over and over trying to understand words ...I was 12 and so into this album in then Yugoslavia, which was weird mix of communism and capitalism...and we could get almost all main records of punk and other rock bands. If I could not find what interested me, every Thursday at 10pm there was great radio show with guy that was traveling to London often bringing all new editions of main and off stream music. I had some radio/casette recorder and was religiously listening that radio show called Vibracije (Vibrations) recording all I loved until late at night, in spite going to school in the morning . It was cool as radio guy never messed up a song with words or commercials , knowing there were many like me recording ...I loved those Thursdays ...it was like travelling to another world.
I'm 56 and as every week passes, every month passes and every year passes, it feels the enormity of this song is being realised too soon. It won't be long in my 80s that I will realise I have no more heroes (alive) anymore.
Met him great bloke . loved Norfolk . it was his influence that they did the album cover in Hunstanton. He passed away with covid in kings Lynn hospital. sadly missed
"I wanna be number one. How's that? Short and simple enough for you? It's gonna be a long, hard road. But who knows? Could kick ass... Could be dangerous. Could totally suck. Whaddaya say, bro? Join me. Let's see how far we can take this." Even if i never heard this song before, I'd still have so much to thank it for. Thank you Stranglers, for inspiring the most assinine, off the walls, cockamamey video game franchises ever.
RIP. Jet Black, Dave Greenfield. Whatever happened to all the heroes, all the Shakespearoes, they watched their Rome burn. No more heroes anymore, no more heroes anymore, no more heroes anymore 😔
Im coming up 64 and have just started listening to the stranglers again Black and White album ....brings back so many happy drunken memories from my teenage years ....fantastic rip Dave and Jet ...
School Disco's across the land 1977. . . ppl hearin this for the 1st time.. . mad mental 'Pogoers' n' ppl bein like. . . wtf is this???. . . . mindblowin shit ppl had been waitin 'decades' for ,. . . . no way back!! 😎👊🔥🧨💣🖤
This era of The Stranglers, are sorely missed. Nobody has those barely suppressed anger, rage, spite, contemptuously intoned vocals that Hugh Cornwell had. Dave Greenfield was such a lovely chap. People have the wrong Dave when they think, David Grohl is the nicest man in rock. Yet, now Dave Greenfield gets to Rest In Peace after 45 years of a job bloody well done.
@@serenan920 I think, I speak for us all, that we have today a guy like Dave Grohl in the music. And that is nothin', that change the achivments of Dave Greenfield, right...?
There's a war memorial in the park in Mansfield Woodhouse, at the corner gate. In 1976 or 1977 someone used a marker pen to write "no more heroes" inside a cast wreath at the base. It was the best thing about it but the last time I looked, in the 90s, it had gone.
1st record I ever bought. Virtually wore that single out. The song is just as exciting today as it was in 1977. Just a perfect song without a second of wasted time. All chiller no filler! And make no mistake about it, The Stranglers were very much part of the punk scene, and this ranks up there with God Save The Queen, New Rose and Ever Fallen In Love as a genuine punk anthem.
As a kid of 11in Catholic Ireland started to rebel against the oppression ... at Liverpool for a football match late 1977 bought STRANGLERS "No More Heroes" in HMV .... the rest they say is history 😎👍 .....
A great punk song that still sounds fkng amazing after so many decades down the line!! I enjoyed the interview with them on Bbc6music today! I do wish Liz Kershaw wouldn't gab so much, and that more time was given to hearing the tracks! R.I.P Dave Greenfield. Great musician.
One of the many things i love with the stranglers,Im always left naturally high as a kite after a stranglers session,They really do it for me,the lengthy solos are amazing as is their timing,brilliant band.
@@avacherry3618 Well... It reminds me always on the early 80's. Drivin' in full filled car, to a concert, or to a demonstration, or to an act of civil resistance, against a stupid big project, like takin' down some hundred acres of forrest for another air strip, for a already big airport. Those were the days and stranglers in the car stereo. Better days will never come. It was a good balance between freedom and response. We had the grace of early birth...
I am so glad I have found some of the best rockers in history thanks to a video game about a lightsaber-wielding anime nerd assassin. No More Heroes! Let's punk!
*R.I.P Dave Greenfield, you were probably the best keyboard player in the whole world and we will ALWAYS remember you. You'll always be a rock n roll legend and one of my biggest music idols of all time. 😢 I still haven't revealed myself as an 11 year long Stranglers fan on RUclips, but now the time is just right, out the closet I come! 😀 I'm extremely proud 2 be a lover of one of the best bands of all time and a truly incredibly talented musician which is you!! 😇 Good luck, Dave...GOOD FUCKING LUCK, HERO!! 😆🎸✌*
57years here,totally on same page. Was just listening to Secret Affairs My World then to here. Boy were we lucky to have lived through this era,now,there ain't nowt to smile about
Whatever happened to Leon Trotsky? He got an ice pick That made his ears burn Whatever happened to Dear old Lenin? The great Elmyra And Sancho Panza? Whatever happened to the heroes? Whatever happened to the heroes? Whatever happened to All of the heroes? All the Shakespearoes? They watched their Rome burn Whatever happened to the heroes? Whatever happened to the heroes? No more heroes any more No more heroes any more Whatever happened to All of the heroes? All the Shakespearoes? They watched their Rome burn Whatever happened to the heroes? Whatever happened to the heroes? No more heroes any more No more heroes any more No more heroes any more No more heroes any more
What's really disconcerting is the sheer number of under-40s who haven't even heard of The Stranglers/'Heroes' (despite the best efforts of some of us).....
Don't you think, We all need to capture the moment and enjoy Our Life and our responsibility to lift a person up who you might think is feeling down? It must be incredibly hard but we always have to learn going forward. Talk, music, dance is always my philosophy x
I woke this morning with this classic track going round in my head. Wow, how wonderful. It is amazing songs, and music we remember /recall from our past /childhood that still resonates. 😎.
The ONLY time in my like ive heard a song for the first time and thought WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT.... October 2nd 1977 6pm. Number 20 in the radio one top 20 countdown.....
00:08 is an Icelandic newspaper article. Headline reads: The Stranglers live as long as they have something to say (probably meant to mean: as long as they have some message to deliver). Article is all but unreadable at this resolution.
still shocked to this day... Rest In Power Dave "Genius" Greenfield. you were the Ray Manzarek of your own generation. I grew up on the Stranglers ; ok, I might be 19 but... hell, it proves you made the band sound so different from the rest... AND THAT THE MUSIC NEVER GOT OLD! thank you for that!
Yeah R.I.P DAVE GREENFIELD and what a brilliant keyboard player...!! Yup I saw the STRANGLER'S back in 1979 and what an awesome gig and they're still one of my favourite PUNK band even tho later they transcended PUNK ROCK I still love um...!!!🍺😊👍🏴🏴☮️☯️🅰️🏴🏴
Gli Stranglers erano la mia band preferita, assieme ai Clash, ai tempi dell'esperienza punk-rock settantasettesca e del movimento "post-punk", che confluì in quel ricco filone artistico-musicale denominato come "New Wave"... Dopo la "bufera punk" del 1977, gli Stranglers, come i Clash, seppero evolversi sia a livello musicale ed artistico, che sul versante politico, a differenza di altre formazioni punk-rock che conobbero una parentesi effimera ancorata alla corrente musicale "punk"...
Couldn't agree more, Terence. I'm still in my mid 20s, but I've lived through so many "Once-in-a-lifetime events" and I'm just exhausted. Would love to have some normalcy and comfort for once.
Dave Greenfield was a unique kind of genius. The kind you need to use a keyboard as a lead instrument for punk. That's not something you see everyday. You'll be truly missed Dave.
My beautiful late brother's tune, he loved the Strangler's,he passed 7 year's ago this may, in a tradgic accident,seem's like 7 day's ago...always in our heart's "our John" aka Billy Bantam. 💙💙🖤🖤
the perfect song to listen to whilst fighting to be the #1 assassin, avenging your dead friend, getting sucked into a game console, and fighting aliens

The best drummer for the Stranglers, perhaps.

Same age, similar thoughts..
Don't be sad. Memories are the best thing. So many brillant groups in the 80s. I am so glad to have been born when i was born 😊😉
All our heroes are zeroes and have their place booked on the Ark to paedo island

So right!
Totally inspired me 😔🤘🎧

Rhyming heroes with Shakesperoes! Brilliant!
"They watched their Rome burn."
Indeed.
The sheer pace and ferocity of this track makes this one of the most exciting songs I’ve ever listened to.
This era of The Stranglers, are sorely missed. Nobody has those barely suppressed anger, rage, spite, contemptuously intoned vocals that Hugh Cornwell had.

Perfect description of Hugh's voice and lyrics.
Same here But never nice and sleazy hey But they did bring on a stripper and I was only 15 years old what joy in 1977
Dave Grohl is very good. But, nowhere near this apex
Surpressed rage !!!! I love it !!!! My first band , ......... wow!!!
@@serenan920 I think, I speak for us all, that we have today a guy like Dave Grohl in the music. And that is nothin', that change the achivments of Dave Greenfield, right...?
Introduced to the Stranglers at 16yr Old, Now 62yr & still listening to them, Playing it Loud & Proud!! What a Band, Dave & Jet RIP
You was a little too late then kid I was 14 and I'm a little bit younger than you in a nice way
@@SAHB very similiar to me.
The Stranglers, one of the best bands ever Peaches, great sound, walk on by brilliant, going for a walk in the Tree's. Hugh Cornwell Nosferatu.

Me too! 62 and still loving this track! It has been my ringtone for ages!
Mate I'm 64 and it only seems like yesterday when I bought the album when it was released in Australia.
Dave Greenfield, marvelous and unique artist on keyboards. R I P Dave Greenfield.
I loved the transition of sound from Heroes to B&W , it sounded " icey " very cold but .....lovely ,hey ho that's me !!
A classic by the Stranglers, that will remain relevant for decades. Especially that opening section with the guitars.👏👏👍👍🌹🌹
actually it's JJ's bass guitar!
The stranglers... a very successful band and still ostracized and underrated.. but we stand by your side my old friends!
Bye Dave. No heroics; just beautiful sleep.
Stranglers classic one of the best punk songs ever
That's a gross way to refer to death.
96 tears.
Those instruments are flicking unheard of these days. Those instruments are brilliant x
Best of Punk Revolution! Will be forever in my heart. RIP Dave Greenfield
Been listening to the stranglers since I was 13 I am now 53. And still listening to them daily. Still sounds amazing
Thanks for the wonderful tunes, Dave.
One of the greatest songs ever written!
Been a massive fan since I first heard this at school in '77. Still my favourite Stranglers song
saw these about 5 times in my days.... fantastic band xx
My favourite band of all time singing my favourite song. I ❤ them. ❤
They were light years ahead of any other band at the time. Thank god I was able to see them several times. I will be listening to them until can’t.
I envy you!
I'm have tickets to their show in Adelaide, Australia.
😂😂😂😂

They are so unique
Classic '77 tune . Favourite Stranglers record. The first band I followed in the Punk Revolution. R.I.P. Dave Greenfield brilliant keyboardist.
Never gets old .great song 👍👍🎸
I am in my 50's, I only discovered these guys about four years ago, got hooked instantly. Sure wish I knew about them in the 80's in my teen years.
Must know golden brown? Epic song
Me too .. 54 .. I grew up on a strict diet of punk/ new wave .. I am not sure how these guys slipped through the cracks for me .

Makes me remember 40 years ago... RIP Dave Greenfield. Be strong, "men in black"!
one of best songs ever..
The opening. The keyboard. Simply amazing.
Grew up listening to the Stranglers, always my band
What's really disconcerting is the sheer number of under-40s who haven't even heard of The Stranglers/'Heroes' (despite the best efforts of some of us).....
Brilliant keyboard. When Dave Greenfield auditioned for the band, Hugh asked him if he’d heard of the Doors and he said no. 😂
Rest in peace Dave Greenfield
R.I.P jet black you will always be a Hero to me the sound of a generation the music that help shape my youth.
Best intro ever, no contest. And what a song.
Only time in my whole life I heard a song for the first time and thought what the hell was that..

We could do with a few Matts in Ireland now. I'm reminded of the title of a song by the Stranglers : "No more heroes anymore."
what a keyboard solo!!
The Only Band that Mattered. ❤
Damn that keyboard sound is analog heaven
Funnily enough, this was released on the same day as Bowie's "Heroes".

Why has such a classically fantastic tune only got this many views?
Great tune xxxxxxx
These days it's not heroes we need, just a bit of normality. This song is a kaleidoscopic masterpiece.

Deepest condolences on the loss of Jet Black.
Love you all! ❤
Saw them Live Reading Hexagon 1991 the night lives on. I'm sure if I remember they thought we were a little quiet in the audience. So glad I went.
What a respectful song. But I have to agree that great men and women have enriched our lives including the Stranglers.
Brilliant drummer jet black
One of my greatest bands they had a massive influence on me simply awesome 👌

Wow, not heard this for ages. Fantastic.
