I think that Culture Club's last two albums were incredible, the medal song is one of my favourite songs as was God Thank you women from their next album!!
A década de 80 e a de 90 produziu os mais incriveis e melhores artistas e bandas da cultura pop de todos os tempos.Culture Club cada música é um hit. Isso q era tempo de bm gosto, ainda tinha uma magia no ar, transitaram sem perder a essência, pois ser cativante desde aquele tempo, q infelizmente não volta nunca mais , não é pra qualquer um, Boy George é mais q talento é um ser iluminado
Maybe some of the 80`s bands were jealous about Boy George and the Culture Club...people are critisizing their Waking Up at The House on Fire and Luxury to Heartache?? ..may God ...I listen to these albums at Spotify and I Think it`s really great...Some of the singles werent released but they sounds great !!
Waking Up With The House On Fire is such a F!ERCE album full of so many styles, edge and it's so raw unlike the over polished Colour By Numbers. The got gritty again x
It's funny watching this clip now when in 1997's "VH1 Behind the Music," they admitted that their 3rd album was "hurried & halfhearted." When I saw them perform in 2000, they didn't touch any song on albums 3 and 4. However, in this interview, they come off as upbeat and not bitter. It's admirable, really. I don't recall them being blasted in the US for album 3. MTV, radio, and other outlets just began focusing on Lionel Richie, David Lee Roth, Cyndi Lauper, and other (mostly US) musicians more.
I think this CD was awesome. I loved it then and I love it now. I listen to all their CDs a lot, but this one the most. It might not have had as many "hits" but it holds up better as an album overall more so than KTBC and FLTH. Mistake No. 3 and The Medal Song are fabulous songs.
Wasn't a fan of waking up as a whole although I LOVE The Medal Song but too many average songs like Crime Time, Hello Goodbye and Dangerous Man let the album down, also George is more nasal with his vocals on Waking up. From Luxury was a slightly better album in my opinion.
I think it just did not have enough of the instantly boppy pop songs for the masses so it did not sell as big AND the media was tired of them too so they start talking shit
Algo a favor de Boy George son sus ojos son tan bellos y luego los maquilla y se vuelven un ensueño, algo irreal, dos joyas para el mundo. Creo que es parte del encanto para recorrer el camino de su éxito El valor de Boy Grg de mantenerse en ese personaje único más el trabajo y la buena música.
You can't help but want to fast forward through after Georges drug addiction. Mikey Craig clearly insinuated things weren't going so well with the band. Jon wasn't to blame foe Georges addiction but it didn't help.
I for one think that "Waking Up With The House On Fire" was one of their best albums. I mean what do people want from such amazing talent?? "Mistake Number 3" is a ballad like none other. I think that they're too many people who wouldn't recognize true brilliance if it were to jump up and bite them on their bum. ;-) ;-) ;-)
It's quite stupid to simple say 'The Medal SOng' was a flop after a great ride of hits because 'White Boy' and 'I'm Afraid Of Me' weren't hits either and they were their first two singles so Culture CLub already had their first two singles not chart as they were more Underground. 'Do You Really' got them onto TOTP because Shakin Stevens backed out that week because he was ill and Culture CLub stirred a storm because of how George looked and them they had a run of hits. It happens with all bands and artists, not everything is supposed to be a huge seller. Many people just wanted catchy pop songs and Culture Club and George even solo are about making music and some things are hits and some are not. It happens to everyone, usually thing records that are not hits are always my FAVOURITES! ... Kissing To Be Clever is my favourite CUlture CLub album but Colour By Numbers is their most successful and to me Colour By Numbers isn't as great as Kissing, Waking Up and Luxury ... So it all boils down to taste really.
The British press has always been known for being extremely fickle & bitchy so it's not surprising when they turned on them.... they turned on just about every other band that has had that level of massive world wide success.... Having said that, I always did think the war song was their...if not worst song, definitely their worst single. Just my opinion... George is still a very talented singer/songwriter
I respect you comment but any anti war song automatically has a great message! There are many OTHER anti war songs too. Maybe it's the lyrics or melody you didnt like?
Waking Up With the House on Fire was SO disappointing. The War Song was idiotic, like a 3 year old's view of "war." The video's were so over-the-top they looked more like Jim Henson creations. It was the end of Culture Club to most of us at that time. We knew it had run it's course.
I love George's unique voice. A beautiful human being.
Culture Club was just ahead of their time and so is Boy George. And still are today
I love listening to George and Jon. They are both candid and very level-headed. I LOVED Waking Up With The House On Fire!
Still wowing me beautiful Boy George October 2018
I love to listen to George talk he is so fascinating and culture club is a very big part of his life.
I LOVE "The War Song!" Then AND now!!! And I love "Waking up with the House on Fire!"
unique voice... jon great drummer... they hit it big. Also, still the best 80's band at that time. still timeless songs.
I think that Culture Club's last two albums were incredible, the medal song is one of my favourite songs as was God Thank you women from their next album!!
Love Boy George!!!!

Crappy album? Waking Up With The House On Fire was an amazing deep soulful record
Agree
Waking Up With The House On Fire is such a F!ERCE album full of so many styles, edge and it's so raw unlike the over polished Colour By Numbers. The got gritty again x
@@jasonblitz7454 sure lol but Victims was great tho! Lol
Culture Club did change the world of music I can see that coz they were a nice band , friendly ,multi-cultural , diversified and versatile.

How does it hold up better? The albums is great but do you really and Karma are the ones still covered even down to today
@@lessismore8533 I meant Waking Up as an album is better in it's entirety than Kissing and Luxury. Of course Colour is prob their best 80s album
Wasn't a fan of waking up as a whole although I LOVE The Medal Song but too many average songs like Crime Time, Hello Goodbye and Dangerous Man let the album down, also George is more nasal with his vocals on Waking up. From Luxury was a slightly better album in my opinion.

Boy George & jon moss ending their relationship that's terrible
“you still got hate for your biggest world seller” “oh who cares about that” hes adorable
Algo a favor de Boy George son sus ojos son tan bellos y luego los maquilla y se vuelven un ensueño, algo irreal, dos joyas para el mundo. Creo que es parte del encanto para recorrer el camino de su éxito
El valor de Boy Grg de mantenerse en ese personaje único más el trabajo y la buena música.
Beautiful songs for me it's a hit
Mickey, the only one who was honest
You and marilyn ... the best best ever and still are
Traduscanlo en español por favor
John seems very level headed at the time. It's a shame that every band goes through stuff. Ron 2022
One-day the war song will be used
You can't help but want to fast forward through after Georges drug addiction. Mikey Craig clearly insinuated things weren't going so well with the band. Jon wasn't to blame foe Georges addiction but it didn't help.

It was a great album but by the 3rd album things were going sour with the band and the 3rd and 4th albums Suffered.
what show was this from? The interviewer is Paul Gambaccini no?

The problem was his image the red hair and the shaved head it was all wrong
nwlman problem was his drug abuse

So the war song not a hit so
