  • @wardmoya95
    @wardmoya95 2 года назад +52

    The Buggles were somewhat right -- video might not have killed the stars of radio, but the new media format was ruthless. Every single had to have a video, and every video needed to be hip and memorable. MTV arrived in 1981, kicking off with (what else) "Video Killed The Radio Star" as its first video, and there was no looking back. Were music videos just eye candy that supported pop songs?

    Trevor Horn, the lead singer and Bassist also spent a year as lead singer for Yes. He Produced a lot of other top acts, eventually owning a recording studio and a label. His biggest success was probably Seal, producing the smash single 'Kiss from a Rose' that launched Seal's career. I know you like live versions. 25 Years after the original song, Trevor and his Buggles partner assembled almost all the original players and singers and put together a 26 piece band to perform the piece live. Sadly the main female lead passed away a few months after. ruclips.net/video/IUgF49Rtg7Q/видео.html Trust , this is the HQ version that will blow you away and make the version you saw look dated and silly.

    • @jcstato9048

      Kiss from a rose did not launch Seal's career. "Crazy", and "Killer" by adamski were huge hits 3 or 4 years earlier.

    The first line tells you.. it's about radio (called wireless) in 1952. There were radio dramas that everyone would tune into until TV came around and "killed the radio star". It was more about nostalgia from a time gone by than a fear of change. It was released prior to MTV, but it would not have become the hit that it did without it.

    I still find film to be better then digital for black and white shots. Color photos, digital is where it's at. I also enjoy the darkroom experience tremendously over digital effects. There is something still magical about seeing the image appear on white paper in the developing tray.

    I know what you mean about photography. Digital is certainly more convenient, but I do love film. I think you have to be practical. Some projects lend themselves to film and others to digital (most) you can't be stuck in the past. I would argue we can embrace both. And today podcasts are really popular and radio is thriving.

  • @shwsrvcs
    @shwsrvcs 2 года назад

    Ok. here is the thing about this band as pertains to HIP HOP. I think, that without this group, hip hop doesnt get some of it's earliest hits and maybe doesn't go as far as it does into becoming THE culture it becomes. the guy singing is Trevor Horn. he was one of the first to use a sampler in creating music as well as one of the innovators of electronic instruments that were used at the outset of hip hop. he was a producer after this song was done, he produces some of classic rock and new waves hits of the era such as Yes - owner of a lonely heart (who he was a member of the band at the time) Frankie Goes to Hollywood's music, ABC's music, and importantly, he produced Malcolm McClaren's hip hop releases, Buffalo Gals, World's Famous, and a whole lot of remixes and dubs that were done in support of these along with the album Duck Rock which introduced hip hop to a much wider audience than previous works by sugarhill or grandmaster flash had been able to. it paved the path for a run dmc to emerge and open up shop. also he was part of the band Art of Noise, which also had a big influence on hip hop culture and electronica type sounds it used (similar to kraftwerk's music had done) everyone would pop and break to music like Beat Box, Legs, and Peter Gunn.
    this is only the second reaction im watching from your channel so i am not to up on what your opinion on the culture and music that is hip hop, but i am hip hop going all the way back to the beginning - well as far back to when it was first played on the radio on the west coast that is and that is pretty damn close to the start. I like to give credit when due to the ones who had a hand in making it grow in those early days and trevor horn was a big part of that. It has gotten lost in the shift seen in today's youth toward rap music as opposed to hip hop and it's cultural ideas of being inclusive and bringing all together under a unified umbrella defined within the 4 elements. and that is a shame.
    anyways... u should react to some of trevor horns other works, art of noise - beat box, ABC - how to be a Millionaire, Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Relax, Two Tribes. Its all really good shit.

  • @SomethingScotty
    @SomethingScotty 2 года назад

    The singer probably was bored as shit since it wasn't a live performance, they were lipsync'ing their studio version. Kind of ironic though, yeah? A song about how video killed the radio and how he longs for the days of yore, but doing a live TV performance.

    Hey Mr.! Love your thoughtful reaction! Personally, I think the song is less of a story of inability to adapt to or accept the new technological reality and more of sober statement of fact. Ever heard the quip, 'You have a great face for radio.'? The same thing happened in-reverse, when talking pictures emerged. It was now a whole new ballgame that relied on the visual as much or more than the musical. Now, you didn't have to imagine what they looked like. I love the muted sound of the forgotten radio announcer's voice. Cheers!

    It reminds me of a story I heard about Troy Donahue.. when he started his career, he was a crooner on the radio, but they didn't want him to do public performances because they felt he was too chubby and would lose fans, so they only played him on the radio. That would not fly today. MTV did change the music scene in that most bands had to have at least one good looking member.
