Lol okay mate… watch Satriani play and come back to me. You can see Brian May talking about Nuno from the band Extreme saying he has ability that he can never reach. So then it comes down to personal preference. Punk music is just that… punk, stupid, foolish. The composition of Mozart is far beyond this you will never be able to comprehend my friend. But for music with guitar his ability is very limited. But it’s whether you like punk music which if you do then the joke is on you 😂
@@DanFernandesBenficaSaint the Strangler's were not even a Punk group........ i grew up in London in the late 1970s and was part of that whole music scene back then and even back then everybody knew this band were way too musical and talented to be labeled Punk....... similar to the Police they were smart and played into the marketing of "angry young bands of the time, but had way more musical chops than their contemporaries of that era.
+secallen uh, if you're not being ironic, I'd be happy to explain everything wrong with this video. If you're just being cheeky, sorry, no offense intended. :D
Incredible performance,these boys put their hearts and soul into it. Hugh's innovative drumsticks keyboards playing is breathtaking. Such lovely down to earth boys.
I love it when they play keys with drumsticks. Hugh, wanting to expand his musical boundaries, probably got a lesson from Dave G in the dressing room before. Dave, meanwhile, was only too happy to step into the frontman shoes and deliver this passionate vocal performance. I hope you all took f-in notes, cos they weren't talkin bollocks. There will be a test.
JJ on drums... Hugh behind keys... a Hohner Clavinet of all things... Dave looks like he's actually playing, and then Jet using a beer bottle as a violin bow at the end... too funny.
This is bloody comical!! Absolutely hilarious! I too noticed that Dave was "playing" the right notes, but as he was originally a guitarist (he still plays acoustic on "Sanfte Kuss") he's bound to know his way around a bass neck to some degree.
Have to say that these lads are good. Timing, power and precion is not easy live but these lads pulled it of with panache. No lip synching here. Just talent.
Jet Black has really the bottle to play an amazing guitar solo at the end of the song. The tightness of JJ's drumming is vraiment formidable,great fun,cheers!
Absolutely brilliant! LOL Best laugh I've had in a while. Clicked on the thumb-nail when I saw Jet Black holding a guitar. Leave it to The Stranglers to provide the justice against lame lip-syncing performances. The Stranglers are my heroes!
@@geoffpoole483 Nirvana would do something similar almost 20 years later. They were pissed that they were forced to mime a song so they intentionally fucked it up.
@@HarryBuddhaPalm and new order would also do something similar 10 years earlier than nirvana by insisting on playing live on totp only to badly butcher their song that was already rising in the charts.
What a stunning live performance. JJB keppin' it real with an honest, tight drum groove, Folks won't know but guitarist maestro JB taught JB every guitar technique he needed to record Blow by Blow, HC - king of the keys, and DG...what can I say! THIS is why Real is Best! Heroes, every one of them!
Aaah, the stranglers. Webels to the end. This is a fine example of some bands' ridicule of miming their own songs on TV. And it's the funniest I've ever seen, with Iggy Pop's performances on Countdown spectacular. I laugh out loud at getting their in-jokes - playing each other's instruments, singing the other guy's part. Totally wrecking the whole lip sync atmosphere. Hilarious, and thankyou, you funny buggers!
THE Stranglers were a bit older than most of the other punk/rock bands of 1977, making their music a bit more solid & musical than a lot of other punk bands. Result... some really Great Music. RB/nowretiredfromTheScene&waitingfor1978
You, dear reader, may not be interested in my perception (& perhaps rightly so!) but I am compelled, like so many, to write here in this "comment box" that I find this television performance to be one of The Best thus far transmitted to my (quite extensive) knowledge. I thank you in advance. ;-)
Was a big stranglers fan right up to the point many years ago now that i woke up one morning and saw them playing "always the sun " on kids TV show "number 73" :-( never the same after that .....RIP Dave.

Jet Black - one of the world’s underrated guitarists.

RIP Jet. An inspiration to guitarists everywhere (apart from Brazil, apparently)
@@DanFernandesBenficaSaint what about Robert Quine?
He any good in your opinion?
I get it

RIP Dave Greenfield. No more heroes anymore 🖤
RIP Dave. Looks like you were all having a good laugh back then!
This is fantastic. Kinda wish more and other bands had the audacity to play the musical-star game for what it is.
Excellent audio for a live performance. They were a really tight group by then.
+ secallen LOL!
+secallen uh, if you're not being ironic, I'd be happy to explain everything wrong with this video. If you're just being cheeky, sorry, no offense intended. :D
+secallen I think the guy on drums is taking the piss... ;)
+Roy Boverhof They Are All On The Wrong Instruments! It's Called Taking The Piss!
djharg /Haggis ... LOL :)
THAT'S the way to handle play-back. Punk spirit.
Dave looks very comfortable with a Bass Guitar probably could play it.
Incredible performance,these boys put their hearts and soul into it.
Hugh's innovative drumsticks keyboards playing is breathtaking.
Such lovely down to earth boys.
Ooooh, I'd introduce them to my mother

I'd kill for the original audio xD
you can't beat a good live performance..
Gawd bless the Stranglers! I love how JJ only has two bits of drum kit left by the end!
Rip Dave Greenfield we'll never forget him
I have this theory that this performance might've been lip synced
+Robbie Mayer Theory? Fact.
good job, buddy.
you must be fun at parties
Robbie... Not theory but certainty..
No way man! Prove it!!
Jet Black with an interesting guitar technique!
That's exactly how one of Crass used to play.
Infinite Barre Chords.
First time Ive seen that anywhere
Upside down power chords, it's an idea 🤔
The proper way
Dear Mr.Dave.
His keyboard sound was an integral part of "stranglers sound".
We pray for his souls.
This is fantastic! JJ looks like he's having too much fun and considering a musical career move.
JJ on drums... Hugh behind keys... a Hohner Clavinet of all things... Dave looks like he's actually playing, and then Jet using a beer bottle as a violin bow at the end... too funny.
lol I’m just watching this and laughing but just realizing that Dave was actually playing the correct bass lines!!!!! 👍🏻
yeah, that's Dave. And singing the right lyrics. And enjoying it. What a lark!
This is bloody comical!! Absolutely hilarious! I too noticed that Dave was "playing" the right notes, but as he was originally a guitarist (he still plays acoustic on "Sanfte Kuss") he's bound to know his way around a bass neck to some degree.
Yep
I bet the producers were thinking "No more TopPop any more!"
It wasn't their last though.
Later Iggy Pop was on Toppop, he was fighting with a palmtree...lol
Have to say that these lads are good. Timing, power and precion is not easy live but these lads pulled it of with panache. No lip synching here. Just talent.
I had never heard about this band till now, but watching this and it seems they were so badass unlimited.
The Stranglers started in 1974. Their debut album was released in 1977.

I thought the drum player was excellent, a maestro.
Every band that mimes should do it this way & show what a farce tv is
Credit to the Stranglers for doing this.
@@geoffpoole483 yep....so awesome

Iron Maiden did the very same on German TV, I think, in the early-mid 80s
This is what playback performances always should have been, and should be. Pioneers in everything they did.
Drumming masterclass right there.
RIP Dave Greenfield...a genius on bass as well.
What great memorable sounds of Dave Greenfield on the keyboard...RIP
All Jet is doing is worrying about the young whipper snapper smashing up his prized drum kit
JJ is fucking destroying Mr Duffys kit, excellent!
Didn't know they were multi-instrumentalists. Respect
Dave does a great job on vocals
Best group ever to play live at the Bol d'or in the early 80s. I'll never forget it, cheers lads.
RIP Dave Greenfield
🤣😂 Ι love them .....what a performance 💗......the drummer kills 😁
Greatest band in the history of popular music
JJ on the drums, smashed it 🤣😂
Awwww bless. Dave's even playing the right bass notes.
What a stunning live performance.
JJB keppin' it real with an honest, tight drum groove, Folks won't know but guitarist maestro JB taught JB every guitar technique he needed to record Blow by Blow, HC - king of the keys, and DG...what can I say!
THIS is why Real is Best! Heroes, every one of them!
That drummer played note for note.
ANYTHING JET DOES IS ALRIGHT BY ME !!!! ROCK ANIMAL !!! I love that dude for 40 + years now
Dave Burnel: bass and vocals, Jet Cornwell: guitar, Hugh Greenfield: keyboards and Jean Jacques Black: drums
correction
Dave Burnel: bass and vocals, Jet Cornwell: guitar and bottle, Hugh Greenfield: keyboards and Jean Jacques Black: VIOLENCE!!!
That's about right.
Just the best ever.
It's perfect miming,brilliant

Iggy had been spitting vodka at the teeny boppers!!
The Cure playing Primary is pretty fkn funny too mate!!
Στην λευκη με αγαπη αλεξανδρος 1991 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Best playback ever! The TV producers sure got mad at them for this stunt 3:)
Mad? This is in the Netherlands not in the BBC dungeons!
Best playback ever
This is just so funny what a great band
They truly know how to play to a backing track!
Thanx for a good laugh...or maybe two,especially to the lads on guitar&bass...cheers 🥲
This is why this band was so fucking great!!
it's great this love how they have all swapped their roles for this performance.
GENIUS!!!
Brilliant TV moment!
Wow these guys were great live ! 😊
Dave holding it all together, looks good on the bass..
The best, concrete implementation of the song at forced playback
This is pure chaos I love it ❤
Brilliant when i 1st saw this , i thought i'd lost my mind :)
i didn't realize what accomplished musicians they were on each others instruments lol priceless footage
Happy birthday, J-J!
JJ on the drums....awesome!
Happy birthday JJ
Talented multi-instrumentalist's one and all. We will never see the like again
Wow. Excellent live sound.
Wow, I didn’t know JJ was such a good drummer.
i might be being a little unfair but I think they might have been miming.... key song of my youth... love it.
Love how this band appear to have been so instrumentally interchangeable.
THE Stranglers were a bit older than most of the other punk/rock bands of 1977, making their music a bit more solid & musical than a lot of other punk bands. Result... some really Great Music.
RB/nowretiredfromTheScene&waitingfor1978
glad I found this, so funny
Genios!!!
seems Dave actually knows the bass part- his fretting hand is spot on!
What a great band
my god , what could have Happened if Dave Sang, lol , So many good Memories , Such a sad way to Pass
That was hilarious!
What a fantastic turnaround best ever band
It's good to see them having fun.
they should perform like this more often!!!!!
incredible interaction between Cor Anglais,Hautboy and drums.
Bloody fantastic every time.👍🇬🇧 Hope to see the Stranglers back on the road after all the bullshit covid .bring on 2021.🎤🎼🎸🎼
"Ok guys, can u make a little playback?"....
"Yup. No problem"
Love Daves singing lol Rip,Jet is a great lead guitarist,Jj burnel is a great drummer and as for Hugh just fantastic keyboards with the drumstick.

;-)
I love this mess so much !!! RIP DAVE ... Imagine aJET BLACK on lead ...A lot more fights woulda broken out !
Mischievous MenInBlack....Mighty..
RIP Dave xxx
Their best live performance, clearly.
Was a big stranglers fan right up to the point many years ago now that i woke up one morning and saw them playing "always the sun " on kids TV show "number 73" :-( never the same after that .....RIP Dave.
lol, what a send up. "oh, we'll have to mime? we'll all switch instruments then!"
Full respect to the band for performing live not miming and playing their instruments properly.
brilliant
I had no idea the Boyz in The Stranglers were such versatile multi instrumentalists...
Genius
RIP x
You know, I've never seen Dave standing up before. In colour anyway. He looks sort of normal standing up.
I think they may be miming - drummer seems a little out at times.
Ya think?
Lol
He's very skilled. Gets a perfect bass drum and hi-hat sound even when they're not on the stage
Jet Black is definitely my new guitar hero
JJ is just loving it. 😆
Come on guys it's a nice play back, the stranglers always original. top top top ❤️
Love it.
