The list of post-punk bands is great. But the only band to equal the Chameleons was the Bunnymen. The Chameleons are the greatest band in the world ever.
@@xman00000 I came to appreciation for The Chameleons after digging through all of back catalogue of The Sound. And i think both of bands were really on par, they are simply amazing!
@@jeffmaleri7754 And Life During Wartime. And The Light Pours Out of Me. And See No Evil. And Street Waves. And What Difference Does it Make. And A Forest. Come to think of it, this post-punk thingy is rather good.
Great selection, man, spot on playing. If I could suggest some titles, I'd go with: Ultravox - The man who dies everyday Stranglers - Hanging around XTC - Making plans for Nigel
0:53 The Damned - Life Goes On (1982), Killing Joke - Eighties (1984), Nirvana - Come As You Are (1991) So, no, they don't sound like Nirvana. Nirvana sounds like Killing joke/the Damned.
after you played pere ubu, I thought 'the only thing that could make this even better would be some comsat angels.' tight playing as usual. thanks for another cool video.
@@bloxsy_ - You're welcome. You even included The Chameleons. i thought it was only me who knew about them. Been a fan since "Script Of The Bridge" first came out.

The Chameleons, The Sound, The Comsat Angels. You sure know great Post-Punk 👍👍👏👏
Surprisingly enough, i don't think you've missed any of the major post-punk bands, although i would recommend early U2 songs, such as New Years Day or Sunday Bloody Sunday but you still had an amazing selection of classic tracks. You also have such a clean, crisp tone on your guitar. Fair play to you mate.
Loving all of your punk/post punk video's ... I grew up in that era , these are all my fave bands. I've never watched anyone play Chameleons ! Thank you !
When the band started, they were more high energy with short, droll songs. Punk icon, Richard Hell, was the bass player and his mordant wit and shambolic playing eventually came to cross purposes with Tom Verlaine, who had been evolving into a different direction. Too bad those old recordings are not available to the public (legally)...
They weren't just playing alongside the Ramones and the Stillettos (later Blondie). They built the stage at CB's to get their gig. Everything followed from that.
Very nicely done once again. Would love love love you to do all of the riffs (& more?) from Television’s Marquee Moon album. It’s one of the few constants on my playlist and never, ever, gets old. Cheers!
Awesome stuff!! I have that same guitar btw: Fender Jag Player Series, but in orange. The split coils are fun to play with, but the full humbucker on the bridge is tops. such a fun guitar to play, especially with riffs from my favorite genre in music!
As i inherit my friend guitar, i decide to try learning playing as a rock star he was. thanks for your videos, cause they give me ideas and doesn't discourage me !
It was this video months ago that exposed me to The Puppet by Echo and the Bunnymen. Not only has it become one of my absolute favourite songs but Echo and the Bunnymen is now one of my favorite bands of all time. Thank you
I don’t understand why I watch every one of these videos. Yes, I play guitar but it’s not like I’m going to learn all of these riffs. Mostly I want to see what riffs you choose. Then when one I really like comes on I go “Yeah” and nod my head. Or rarely I go “he picked that?” Anyways, love these vids, long way to say that. 😂
Thanks! I never know whether people are watching to learn these or simply just to listen because they like the type of music. Maybe a bit of both. Anyway, it's good to know. Much appreciated!
Awesome job, you covered just about every band . Impressed you included Mission of Burma.. I’d suggest Romeo Void- Never Say never, any track from the first two Pfurs albums and yes I consider the first two U2 albums post punk.
Would love to see more Post Punk riff compilations! Just a really cool era with so many different styles yet often so identifiable as the same general era
@@bloxsy_ imo its more than the Post punk revival of bands like the strokes, it's like avante garde, alternative post punk, black midi are kind of hard to classify, post punk is an influence but they completely transcend it in my unimportant opinion, a bit like This Heat
@@usualdosage7287 I would consider black midi a full-on prog band. Even bordering on jazz fusion occasionally. I think people claim they're post-punk to make them sound more cool than if you claimed they were a prog/jazz fusion band.
I see people are noticing the similarity of “Eighties” to a certain Nirvana song. From Wikipedia: “[Nirvana] and its management company debated whether to release "Come as You Are" or "In Bloom" as the next single from the album due to Cobain's concerns over similarity of the former with the Killing Joke song "Eighties" (1984). After some persuasion by the management company, Cobain agreed to release "Come as You Are" as the second single because of its commercial potential. Killing Joke were upset over the song, and there were rumors that a lawsuit had been filed over the song, though the suit never materialized.“
Aw man, you’re giving me shivers. Such great riffs! Two more suggestions: Romeovoid's “Never Say Never” (1982) and Big Black's “Kerosene” (1986). Both make great use of harmonics. Oh, and no Cocteau Twins? Early songs like “Wax and Wane” and “Feathers Oar-Blades” out-Banshee the Banshees IMHO.
Very inspiring. Just started to make a post punk playlist. Early New Model Army songs are loaded with classic post punk riffs- Vengence, Small Town England, Notice Me, Young Gifted & Skint .... They were really good at mixing jangly Johnny Marr style riffs with angular Gang of Four / Killing Joke style playing that leaves space for the bass. There's something about post punk that's less anarchic and more subversive. You can hear the legacy in music from decades later.
OMG CRUISER CREEK. Damn you know your stuff! Gang of four! KJ. Your Chameleons is spot on. Jesus. Wire..amazing. Pil. Brilliant. Siousxie..fab..Magazine? Wow!!! Pere ubu!! Smiths. Perfect. Echo. A.forrest!.perfect
Feel free to suggest some other post punk bands or songs I've missed below. Thanks for watching!
Sweet jag man what's your favorite stuff to play on it?
how are you getting the amp sounds? Is that the Katana?
Blondie and Psychedelic Furs
XTC -Love at First Sight
Sad Lovers and Giants, The Pop Group
I am always impressed that a riff so iconic as the one in "A forest" is so simple.
The Chameleons - very underrated band.
AMEN to that!
I love Swamp Thing so much. If that song was a person I'd give it a smooch 😘
The list of post-punk bands is great. But the only band to equal the Chameleons was the Bunnymen. The Chameleons are the greatest band in the world ever.
@@trevorloughlin1492 There is no other band that is close to the Chameleons.... not even Bunnymen
@@xman00000 I came to appreciation for The Chameleons after digging through all of back catalogue of The Sound. And i think both of bands were really on par, they are simply amazing!
80s by Killing Joke gave me chills!!! You nailed the sound perfectly.
To me the main riff sounds like come as you are
@@Venom-jt7gt If I remember Kurt Cobain admitted Come As You Are ripped off 80s. Still though, both bands and songs are classics!
Yes, Kurt ripped off the riff
Holy shit including The Chameleons. Swamp Thing is such a beautiful song, that band deserves so much more recognition and respect.
Manchesters best kept secret.
Especially the chorus... love that guitar part.
Facts!!!
Yes! It's such a gorgeous song, I just don't understand the lyrics - but YES. It's beautiful.
It would be great to have a bass player do 21 classic post-punk bass riffs. Post-Punk was a very special era for bass.
That Killing Joke... Come As You Are 😉
I think Killing Joke played it much more earlier...
Like in the eighties
Supposedly that riff started withThe Damned
@@Mraquanetchris It actually originates from 1963
@@noven8380 nice!
Any guitar video with a Gang of Four riff is automatically better than 99.99% of all guitar videos released that week.
Yes! And ex lion tamer. Two of my faves. Enjoyed this video!
Gang of Four were amazing. Their best songs are most recognisable from the bassline though
As Jeff said, Wire's absolutely incredible. I'd say they leant more heavily on guitar, too
@@jeffmaleri7754 And Life During Wartime. And The Light Pours Out of Me. And See No Evil. And Street Waves. And What Difference Does it Make. And A Forest.
Come to think of it, this post-punk thingy is rather good.
Every song on Entertainment has such a memorable riff
I think that post-punk can't be without bass.. but you've played so energy, I like it. Greetings from Russia!
You're right, it does need bass.
I came to say a really similar thing. This genre seems to only work when the whole band is there. It’s really about context and space.
This video made me realize it.
With ones like "Not Great Men" the call and response of the guitar/bass is crucial. I absolutely agree
guitar is often used for texture in post-punk, you're right the bass is usually the main instrument
Great selection, man, spot on playing. If I could suggest some titles, I'd go with: Ultravox - The man who dies everyday
Stranglers - Hanging around
XTC - Making plans for Nigel
Something by the early Pretenders would be awesome too.
Yes, I was going to say anything off Drums and Wires or White Music by XTC. Good Answer.
so glad you included the sound, one of my favorite post punk bands ever!!
Please do one with Psychedelic rock and Neo psychedelic riffs
Oh yeah gotta get that on my list.
@@bloxsy_ yay :)
@@bloxsy_ you must include lucifer sam- pink floyd in this list
@@MatthewvanR.music. pictures of matchstick men
@@lynnpehrson8826 yeah that's a good one
You did the chameleons and the sound, my life is complete, amazing and thanks!!
The Sound is so great, I'm especially fond of their album From The Lions Mouth.
0:53 The Damned - Life Goes On (1982), Killing Joke - Eighties (1984), Nirvana - Come As You Are (1991) So, no, they don't sound like Nirvana. Nirvana sounds like Killing joke/the Damned.
Loved that you included The Fall! They are very underrated! They've got so many great songs!
You included The Chameleons! YES!
Not enough people know the music of Pere Ubu, thanks for the shoutouts to so many great and underrated bands.
Moving from Siouxsie and the Banshees to Magazine was great. Both bands had John McGloch play guitar for them. A criminally under rated guitarist.
Ex Lion Tamer is just so perfect. You can hear how Minor Threat took a lot of inspiration from the sound of Pink Flag
Simple, yet trusty chords played with angst. Perfection.
after you played pere ubu, I thought 'the only thing that could make this even better would be some comsat angels.' tight playing as usual. thanks for another cool video.
Thanks for watching. I appreciate it.
I've always loved the "rusty bedsprings being hit by a bat" sound that Wire got for "I am the Fly."
Love your playing, dude. Thanks for the inspiration!
Thanks for watching! Appreciate it.
I think its the first time i see pere ubu in a list of best riffs,incredible.
I love that you stated off with a Fall riff!
With the isolated guitar, you can clearly hear the punk inspiration. It is post *punk* after all!
The fact that you started with the Fall is awesome
That Killing Joke - Eighties riff reminds me of Nirvana - Come as you are
Or maybe the other way around
@@perejnelind6592 Yeah its weird, that KJ riff is the earlier one but the Nirvana song is more famous.
You can really tell that this guy is really into good music. Fab as usual!
wipers and then straight into wire! hell yes. so many great riffs here
Exactly my taste in music. Well done my man.
Thanks man.
@@bloxsy_ - You're welcome.

Thank you. Yeah I didn't think of U2, but I suppose their early stuff has that post-punk sound now you mention it.
U2 sucks
Out of Control and I Will Follow
Loving all of your punk/post punk video's ... I grew up in that era , these are all my fave bands. I've never watched anyone play Chameleons ! Thank you !
It's crazy how television was playing in the cbgbs with the first ever punk bands and they were already a post punk band
When the band started, they were more high energy with short, droll songs.

The 60's garage Fall and the 60's psychedelic Chameleons create some of your next 80's selections. Great work, cheers!!
RESISTANCE BY THE SOUND DUDE. This make me happy thanks
Public image is just something else!
Starting out with The Fall! Holy balls that's epic
Awesome stuff!! I have that same guitar btw: Fender Jag Player Series, but in orange. The split coils are fun to play with, but the full humbucker on the bridge is tops. such a fun guitar to play, especially with riffs from my favorite genre in music!

That's awesome. Glad you like them.
Definitely need to do some Rowland S Howard riffs with that Jag.
Starting with the Fall. Including Wire. My favourite Cure song. And Digital by Joy Div as well. Top notch, sir.
Fantastic collection of tunes, even Andy Gill (RIP) Gang of Four. Very cool.

I love the riff by the Wipers! The style reminds me of "Suspect Device" by Stiff Little Fingers. Now I need to check out their albums on Sub Pop!
oh man you are in for a treat
Wipers are f'n incredible, one of the best imo
Super broad and appropriate range you covered. I was pleasantly surprised by a number of bands you included.
Love that clear crisp spanky sound!
Inclusion of Pere Ubu made me happier than it should have. Well done

Thanks for the job you’ve done!
And I was very happy to see Borlands The Sound here!
I like that you ran the gamut of post-punk songs instead of just playing a lot of goth.
your picks are legit classics, nice performance
Have you listened to the new British Post Punk scene bands like Black Midi, Shame, and Idles have great riffs
I've heard of them but haven't really given them a proper listen before. Maybe if I do a post-punk revival video. Might be good to feature them
@@bloxsy_ imo its more than the Post punk revival of bands like the strokes, it's like avante garde, alternative post punk, black midi are kind of hard to classify, post punk is an influence but they completely transcend it in my unimportant opinion, a bit like This Heat

BCNR is great too.
The Chameleon’s, The Comsat Angels & The Sound: the ‘holy trinity’ in this video for me 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I'm really glad someone did this... good job!
Oh man that guitar tone on that Killing Joke track was PERFECT
I know few post-punk songs, but i liked the video. It's good to get notification from your channel
Thanks. Glad you liked it!
APPROVED, guitar at its simplest yet most inventive. Always memorable and always served the song.
Hole covered the Wipers - thanks for leading me back to the original! I like both versions.
Fuck Yeah, thanks for play a song of The Sound, is one of my favorite bands
This is definitely my favorite genre - it's so dreamy!
You also included The Sound and The Comsat Angels, yay!!
Nice, your lick selections are on point. Snake Corps' "Look East For Eden" is another fun one to play.

Nice Devo input. Great stuff.
awesome as always! thanks bloxsy. keep these vids coming, plesae
Thanks man. I appreciate it.
0:54 sounds like Come as you are
this dude’s tone has gotten better and better as the months go by
Sad not to see Birthday Party and Soft Boys, but list is great and playing too. Nice video dude.
Fantastic ,really good!! You could easily do part two and three of this - there were so many great bands and songs in this era.
Great job Bloxsy! Thanks for covering my favourite music genre!!! My song suggestion is Kitchens of Distinction - Drive That Fast. Thanks again!
Knew you wouldn’t disappoint
Perfect Birthday present. Many thanks:)
Happy Birthday!
Absolutely love to see the sound on here!
Wow glad to see the wipers making an appearance! Super underrated band
So happy you ended the video with an Adrian Borland riff 👏
I think this is the first time u put devo in a vid. I like it 👍👊
Neat. I really wish a second part.
big respects for acknowledging The Sound
Amazing and very well played.
Killing Joke: Eighties
Kurt was said to be nervous about the similarities of between Eighties and Come As You Are.
Oh post punk...makes my heart ache for my youth.
Very cool to see television in there
Have the same jaguar since last christmas and cannot be happier,no issues with bridge at all✌🏻
That’s good to hear. Glad you are still liking it.
I listened to the Jeopardy album by The Sound, and I don't know why I'm not listening to Resistance on repeat. Thank you!
Nice selection, great to hear Pere Ubu in there!
i love how his guitar is literally perfect for the 80's post punk tone with the chimey neck single coil and the heavy bridge humbucker
Beautiful songs,my favorite genre.
