    I remember when I first heard the bassline on Psycho Killer. I was in love from then. Then I realised it was a woman playing, I'd never seen that before. A women, a tiny woman with a massive bass and a massive sound.

    I don’t think people today understand just how VAST the influence of the talking heads camp is
    In the late 70s they elevated rock to a completely new level of artistry, inspiring untold numbers of musicians who would go on to do great things. In the 80s, they were “new wave” pioneers who inspired untold numbers of musicians yet again. They spearheaded the use of digital audio recording in a live setting. On top of all that, a track from one of their side projects (a side project for fucksake) went on to become the most sampled piece of music from the last 40 years...helping to shape the hip hop sound of the 90s which still resonates with mainstream to this day. It’s very difficult to overstate the influence of the talking heads

    Watching them perform "Take me to the river" on SNL and started buttoning my shirt to the top like David Byrne and noticing other kids at school doing the same thing. Talking Heads were then and still ahead of their time.

      Is obviously *the stylistic connection between Talking Heads and Red Hot Chili Peppers = The Funk infusion to Alternative Rock* , since the same first TH lp , but very enhanced on "Fear of Music", "Remain in Light" and "Stop Making Sense" LPs.

    I’d heard Take Me To The River on the radio when it first came out, but I wasn’t particularly moved by it. I liked it, but nothing spectacular. My first time experiencing Taking Heads was when I saw SMS at the theater. What a moment! I was absolutely mesmerized and a huge Talking Heads fan from that day on. Immediately left the theater and began buying all their albums beginning with their current release at the time Little Creatures. Still listening after all these years and still among my favorite bands of all time.

    Not that I think it was intentional, but Jonathan Demme should have gotten a mention here. I know the Talking Heads have so much incredible music, but Stop Making Sense is so crucial to their history, and arguably their greatest hits album. Seriously, that album alone sort of defines them for many fans and there isn't really anything else you need. And Jonathan is incredibly important to that and just am surprised David didn't mention him. Without that film and soundtrack I truly don't know how well they'd be remembered today. They obviously should have been, but that was one of those perfect capsules that, thank god, everyone loved and cherished. Still the greatest concert film of all time.

    • @morganfisherart
      @morganfisherart 7 лет назад +3

      Totally agree, I was waiting for Tina to add Demme to the long list of names she mentioned so nicely. But by the time she got to the roadies I thought, OK that job must have been assigned to another member of the band. Not. Would also have been nice to hear mention of Alex Weir, Lynn Mabry and Ednah Holt, who surely were all watching this.
      Anyway, What. A. Band.

    • @DrRestezi
      @DrRestezi 5 лет назад +1

      Jonathan Demme has passed on. And TTH had already hit their peak before that film was made. Brian Eno was far more important in the band's evolution. (Not surprised that Tina didn't mention him, but figured David would.)

  • @stephanmashiter8421
    @stephanmashiter8421 5 лет назад +3

    We have to make allowances for David. David is what David is. I do know he is an amazing talent and and Talking Heads did change my life and he was the driving force behind them. Without him there would have been no Talking heads. Stop Making Sense is one of the all time greatest concerts. David has done so many other impressive things as well. Writing books and designing bicycle stands are just two of them. Many brilliant people can be on the edge but fortunately he is still with us and still being very creative.
    Also Tina's speech here was really great She really gave a great analysis of the problems in the recording industry and how things should work. She and David basically won't talk to each other but that didn't stop Talking Heads from producing life changing music.

Composers learned to keep hold of their copyright in the 80's and that was their death warrant. So, the great days are long gone for the music industry and the culture, but we have the recordings and videos like these. Thanks.

    Like other bands, Talking Heads existed at a certain time and in a certain dimension.

When you change so much over time, it gets really difficult to come together (like a reunion with an ex).
