Good old aunty Pat thumping out that bass line and being hot as ever in her pre Sisters days, love it. By far one of my fave Gun Club songs, effing brilliant 🖤
i am from amsterdam just missed him in 83 84 85 , bummer but i did see tex and the horseheads , the cramps , killing joke and the legendary stardust cowboy live in Paradiso on Leidseplein in amsterdam way to go .
I could slap my face for loving hardcore bands at the time..years later fully realized the slap is real......LOVE GUN CLUB! Seen em at 5 times back then...arrgghhh.
When I first got into hardcore So-Cal punk in the early 80s they were definitely my favorite band. Some would say they weren't exactly a ' punk 'band,and they would have a point to some degree..but they definitely did have that dark, nihilistic energy that drew me to hardcore punk, I loved them.
Fuck, I would have liked to see this live. If it sounds that good on a recording, it would rip your nuts off live. They all sound so good. He gave all to his craft, I'm just glad to hear it.
The best band from the 80's, easily. Jeffrey Lee Pierce - so talented, charismatic. Everyone should own the The Gun Club catalogue, it would do everyone a lot of good. Check out the 1st 2 LPs Fire Of Love & Miami. Every home should have a copy.
One of the best, no doubt! But there was loads of competition for that title. The Butthole Surfers, Wire, Meat Puppets, Black Flag, Minutemen, The Birthday Party, Big Black, The Fall, Slayer, Coil, Young Gods, Half Japanese, Husker Du etc etc etc etc etc.
Her and Melissa Auf der Maur. She's also a bassist, used to play with Hole and the Smashing Pumpkins, and released two lp's of her own in the noughties. Both great albums with the likes of Josh Homme, Mark Lanagan, Glenn Danzig and many others assisting her. If you don't know her, maybe you'd like to check her out. And boy, she's got great legs too!
Jeffrey really had the exact same "sweet spot" as Bob Stinson... without any drugs or alcohol in him, he was nervous and self-conscious onstage, and with one beer too many, he'd completely fall apart. But get him right into that perfect, slightly-dead-eyed range that is clearly obvious here, and he'd belt out a performance for the ages. The brightest lights always burn out the fastest, sadly.
Patricia Morrison from her time with Sisters of Mercy brought me here and unlike her aweful miming in SOM its obvious from this track she could actually play, apologies to Pat as watching her in SOM i honestly thought she couldnt and was just there for "the look". Never really got into the gun club but based on this track i'm going to have a listen, maybe 40 years late but better late than never 😁
It was part of the Death Party EP, which came out as a 33rpm 7", Death Party on one side, this and The House on Highland Avenue on the other. I had that. I think there might have been a 12" with one more song, maybe Come Back, Jim.
Never heard of this band, this a story behind this and how I got here. I went to a bar and the bartender girl was wearing this shirt. Most beautiful looking Ukrainian girl mix with some Asian in her. Could not take my eyes all night and she knew it too, my stares were so bad that she felt it. I went with another girl she was next to me and probably made the girl next to me uncomfortable. At the end she only charged me the girl drinks but not my beers, was so surprised.
Pleasant Gehman..always saw her name in LA club circles/media but never knew much about her. Back then I probably was afraid of them all and thought they were strange for even a 21 year old who went to goth clubs in LA
If nowadays a band plays like this all this wannabecoolfashionposer wouldn't dig it. This is Rock'n'Roll,raw,live and out of control! Viva Gun Club,R.I.P. Jeffrey Lee Pierce and Fender Guitars are the Best!!
this is how a bass guitar should be played. viva patricia, RIP JLP
Patricia is just fantastic here 🖤🖤🖤
Happy Birthday, JLP! Miss you, brother.
Jesus they were great. 40 years later they still hold up.
Not just hold up but still sound better than most 😃
Good old aunty Pat thumping out that bass line and being hot as ever in her pre Sisters days, love it. By far one of my fave Gun Club songs, effing brilliant 🖤
She was amazing bass player😉
One day, maybe that day will never come, people will understand what a great artist Jeffrey was and how important the band was The Gun Club.
Agree
Truer words my friend💚
Simply amazing performance from the most unappreciated band of the 80s.
That's pretty far fetched.
@@incumbentvinyl9291 a matter of opinion.
Love the Gun Club, classic post punk, and Patricias bass lines, wow... a shame she retired, thanks for the up-load Kanaal
Great song, great band. Started listening to Fire of Love again recently, what an amazing album.
" Fire of Love " is probably the greatest Punk rock album of its era .
Really great album
for me Miami is the pinnacle but I love all their albums
Man they sound amazing and Jeffery’s singing makes you feel you are there.
This song hit me like a slap on my face,i instantly became a fan!!!!
Same here😎😎
100%. The second I heard them I was a huge fan.
Same here.
This is in Paradiso, in Amsterdam, around 1985. I remember it as it was yesterday.

Most underrated band in history
The Gun Club and the Wipers are the two most underrated bands of all time imho
Oh come on.
One of the best things Ive ever seen in my life. One of the best bands of all time. Thank you.
Me too!!!! Non stop playing for 3 days!
@@meloncajun4033 Aw fantastic! ♥
so far this is the greatest song i've heard from gun club! one of the greatest songs i've ever heard period!!
One of my favorite songs fr Gun Club-kickin ass n taking NAMES…f*ck yeeeeaaah..!
mrrison was a mean bass player i love her
Bass sounds killer in this take
Right? Totally killer.
The most vicious bass sound I've ever heard
Couldn't agree more. I'm only just discovering this band thanks to Mark Lanegan's book. Amazing band.
Yup, Patricia Morrison.
Patricia's bass just totally makes this performance brilliant 👏 🖤
Fuck, I would have liked to see this live. If it sounds that good on a recording, it would rip your nuts off live. They all sound so good. He gave all to his craft, I'm just glad to hear it.
thankfully he lives on in the white stripes.
So great!
One of my favourites - as a Punk- and later as a Blues-Band !
THIS IS GOLD
Imagine being Patricia Morrison, and having to deal with this guy and then Andrew Eldritch. She must have the patience of a saint.
At least she was rewarded by getting married with Dave Vanian the coolest cat ever.
@@fernandomaron87 REALLY!!!? Cool, I love Dave Vanian.
This band was amazing. If you don't appreciate the other people in the band, DONT LISTEN.
@@stacyblue1980 It's possible to enjoy someone's music and be critical of their personality. Ask any Smiths fan.
Bass players had to put up with a lot of bullshit and egos. It came with the territory.
Patricia's baseline. 🖤🖤🖤
his voice gives thrills
Didn't know Patricia from the pre SoM days. Pretty cool. Ironically, quality of this video is better than any SoM video found on the YT.
What a perfect noise....I want speakers in my coffin pumping this out. That will push those little daisees up good and proper!!
Jim Morrison and Frank Black (pre-cog) channeled through ersatz Iggy Pop/Chris Farley hybrid via Marlon Brando.
Your post really shines a light on you !
Ersatz Human !
I like the characterization
Wow, what a lyricist
Love the live version of this song.
patricia morrison beautiful as always
I love this song!
magic .. always wondered if the Club were more pose than music, or just too smacked out to play live but this is sharper than the vinyl ..
quality video, jlp has such haunting vocals,
thank you for the upload and thank you GC for the noise!

One of the best bands of all time.
Best band EVER
Las Vegas story is also amazing but I discovered it years later as influenced by the negative comments by the critics
One of the best, no doubt! But there was loads of competition for that title.
The Butthole Surfers, Wire, Meat Puppets, Black Flag, Minutemen, The Birthday Party, Big Black, The Fall, Slayer, Coil, Young Gods, Half Japanese, Husker Du etc etc etc etc etc.
And Dead Milkmen, Tex and the Horseheads, 16 Horsepower, Wood Chicken...that play kind of same music , wich was called Cow Punk
Patriciaaa 🖤
Whenever people tell me Vince Neil is just a talentless hack I say... "Listen to his work with the Gun Club."
HA! Love this comment.
Haha! It’s like Vince Neil and Marlon Brando had a love child.
Lolll!!
@@Brewzerr YEAH! I love it.
😂😂😂😂
OMG the Bass line.
loved this band back in the day
THANK YOU for including the date!!
The BEST!
THE LIE!!!Now I Know the lie. What brilliance!!
I heard of this band after watching a bunch of Sisters of Mercy videos, when Patricia Morrison played bass for them.
havent heard this in forever - its still great as i remembered - thx for putting it up
gary busey tearing shit up
Quite possibly Gun Club's best song.
Sex Beat
Gary busey killing it
Busey ? I see Marlon Brando.
@@mikebott6940 brando/morrison
Best legs in R&R . Patricia Morrison
Yep.. between herself and Kim Gordon. Toss of a coin job !
Her and Melissa Auf der Maur. She's also a bassist, used to play with Hole and the Smashing Pumpkins, and released two lp's of her own in the noughties. Both great albums with the likes of Josh Homme, Mark Lanagan, Glenn Danzig and many others assisting her. If you don't know her, maybe you'd like to check her out. And boy, she's got great legs too!
i love this
life changing
Tragic and beautiful song.
so full of pain ...
Like every Jeff's song. Pure art.
brilliant.
Best song ever!!!
So great...no words!
Underrated band
F,ING WICKED AWESOME WALL OF POWER. I LOVE 'EM. I DID WHEN I WAS 16 - I STILL DO NOW 20 YRS LATER. UNTOUCHABLE. SIM
Sooooo soooo good, man.
I love this group,they were the real underground sound proto Nirvana proto Guns n Roses and
maestro!!!!
Amazing!
Super kawałek czad i energia
Miło widzieć innego Polaka, który docenia ten wspaniały zespół.
Legendary….
Great song

Happy birthday loco
Gun Club blows me away. They should have been from Texas.
LOVES.
Recorded by VPRO Television (Dutch channel) at one of Netherlands's most beautiful venues: Paradiso in Amsterdam, which is a former church.
Goddamn, JLP looks high as a kite. But the music is perfect. Gun Club forever!
Like sick man!!!
awesome
Pat Morrison. YES
The lie. This lamentation of Jefferies' is hard to watch. Living his truths - as real as Rock & Roll gets.
Patricia Morrison from her time with Sisters of Mercy brought me here and unlike her aweful miming in SOM its obvious from this track she could actually play, apologies to Pat as watching her in SOM i honestly thought she couldnt and was just there for "the look".

Amo The Gun, Porra
Perfect song and the bass is mean
Gotta love ginger mustache trying to look up Patricia's skirt....
Is that Jim Duckworth and Dee Popp on guitar and drums?
Yes it is....shout out to my old NYC '80s roommate Dee...
my favorite era/line-up
The bass is fucking 🔥👌😍! Is that great Paul Cutler?! He was amazing!!!
Planant et agressif !
o jlp how we love u
Their music grounds me
Damn if JLP doesn't look a bit Brando-esque here.
Christopher Thomas More like Jim Morrison, I reckon.
+Christopher Thomas TOTALLY! Col. Kurtz grows hair and rocks the fuck out.
total morrison pose
Wrong... its Debby Hairy
Lukestar1991
Yes, he’s got a little Jim in the face. Lucky Jim. And unlucky Jim.
LEGENDARISCHE CLUB
Repeating over and over
Jlp god bless you
Pure brilliance obscure b-side only on a 12" I think anybody got the Tube version?
It was part of the Death Party EP, which came out as a 33rpm 7", Death Party on one side, this and The House on Highland Avenue on the other. I had that. I think there might have been a 12" with one more song, maybe Come Back, Jim.

Duckworth is by far the best axe player GC ever had
😍
nice guitar.
The Fuckin best
Patricia is rocking THE FUCK out of that bass guitar
Yeah her hair spray makes it sound good
Pleasant Gehman..always saw her name in LA club circles/media but never knew much about her. Back then I probably was afraid of them all and thought they were strange for even a 21 year old who went to goth clubs in LA
Paradiso godverdomme!
Hell yeah! I guess 1982. In 1983 Kid Congo Powers played guitar during the Las Vegas Story’ tour..
PATRICIA
too bad about the low volume..but otherwise so so outstanding!!
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
