Unfucking unbelievable . They're not in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame ? They're the epitome of fun , probably the single greatest feature of rock n roll and how it is differentiated from other forms of music is FUN .
These guys are Legend! with all the tools we have today no one can make music like it was made in the 70s,80s..these guys had to endure trying to make it in the business competing with many many great bands, jamming in the garage or anywhere is still the best receipt to create great music, original sounds,etc. God bless The B-52`s , one of the greatest of all time and I`m so greatfull to have grown up around that time.
I recall when I first heard Rock Lobster on the radio I was like instantly drawn into the new wave…I’m still surfing along at 67 years old still glad I got to experience all the bands of the 70s and 80s ❤ B52s saved every party I ever had!
if you would have told me in 1978 when i first heard them that 46 years later i'd still be listening, i would have said you're crazy. so weird became so fun so fast. decades of joy.
20 years ago my girlfriend told me sadly that Fred was dead…! I had thoughts for him several times BUT today is a special resurrection day as I notice he is still with us. so happy!!!!! Come to Paris 🙏
@familycardcollectors6519 Ricky Wilson died on 12 October 1985. The B52s took 2 years off and returned in 1988 with the LP Bouncing Off Satellites, then Cosmic Thing in 1989. Love Shack went to No 1 in November 1989. Good Stuff in 1992 Ricky Wilson's death was not the end of the band.
I saw them at the Bayou club in D.C. in 1979. We all knew we were listening to the the real deal-so much fun! At the break, Fred came up to me and asked me where I got the bowling shirt I was wearing. I gave them a list of local thrift stores. They invited me and my friends to a round of beers. Thanks again!!
First time I heard from the B-52’s was in 1983 after a concert in Athens,I scored a t-shirt and a 45,wish that I stilled have them but I will always love the 52’s!!!
Seminole Ave band House for the 'Fans'! B-52' s truly amazing group. I was just 15. Russell KING the drummer, the love of my life. Anyway, The Fans FINALLY got a shot to make a record in NYC. BEGGING FOR A RIDE ALONG PROMISE THEY will never know😭☺️😊😊😂😂🤣
its great ! it was written in the stars you all would met eachotter with 1 common goal..... making music together and became a big band in the 80ties and 90ties AND still afther all those years youre all remained a bunch of good friends. While a lot of music groups splitted up afther a few hits .... B52's FOR ever !
That quick video in the old television!!....I was there at that show at The Great Southeastern Music Hall...it was about a week or two after the Sex Pistols and it was a Punk Rock Festival....the band had all their art school friends there dancing....probably about 20 to 30 people there tops...I was a Student at GA Tech at the time....they opened with Planet Claire and Fred played a toy piano....I thought they were quirky weird and fun!....totally original with a stripped down sound.
NO THEY DIDN'T, THE BEEHIVE HAIRDOO WAS POPULAR BACK IN THE 50S 60S, SO ASK YER SELF WHERE DID THE B52S GET THAT STYLE FROM? THEY SURE AS HELL DIDN'T CREATE IT.
@user-ie1vn6dr5t there were women in my part of small-town Canada who were still rocking the beehive and bouffant when I was a kid in the late 70s,early 80s. They found what they liked in 1962 and stuck with it well into middle age. Good on em
Recorded the first album with no reverbs or anything? Interesting. I’d say that’s how they got known because their sound didn’t need a lot of work to sound good.
I remember throwing paper cups of water at the next door neighbors roof when would go up on the roof to watch the bulldawgs throught the hedges. and Wendy-O would scare all of to death when she would cut the grass wearing nothing but a black tape bikini I would slip through her back yard and she would scream come here you little bas@@$ I don't know who told her that I was the one who would get some of her gas for my gokart. You it would all ways blow my mind as wild and crazy as she would act when she would chase me down the sidr walk, her and my mother would sit on the porch or go to the tea room and Wendy was intelligent smarter than you would think she was. And she would talk to my mother about her giving me to her ans then when ever my mother go to get something from kitchen she would threaten me for stealing her gas or that time I put grease all over here porches and steps her and some other just tour the world down and that time I found that lock and put it on the door of that shed Oh she was pist hell I was only 9, or ten. My dad owned some old houses all over the place and if he though you were going live in athens he would sale you a house. I remember my Dad seller a house to this Couple for $500 dollars, you know they still live in that house. It was crazy how people everyone had a garden in the back yard or people would buy everything and someone would work to cann everything out of the garden to put up to have food, My Mother had several houses and one of those house was one of them where you could look through the hedges and watch the foot ball game. I live downtown or if me and my brothers would go home to either my moms or dads it just determined how much trouble we were in. I could get a ride out to commerce road and watch wrestling or top head linners at the J&J center on 441 or the top bands of the local georgia bands at the Nightowl bar and longe, or bulldogs up there behind the athens bakery at the bar where there was no telling who might wakeup from a drunken comma. The first time I ever seen I think it was dwight yokom I don't know how to spell his name. But I remember he was wild as hell and could ring the hell out of his guitar. but he smelled like a rotten dumpter foull of whiskey bottles Oh remember the blue Restaurant the first veg restaurant and right up the street was the first Rcade I seen. And the DairBarn in Comer where I would get a brain freeze right before my straw would get stopped up with a strawberry. I should be ashame, hell I am ashame, I live in the stinking desert of arizona where the place is nothing but evil. I sure do miss my sweet sweet city of Athens, where the democrats would whip your ##@ for doing something and not being sweet and honest and straightup. And my home in Krawfort, Lexington. Man where turn I took to go so wrong? I sure hope to get back home before I die or I'll be lost for ever. Even the criminals had class there, and flowers smelled so good. I hope all the polliticians didn't screw up wonder land.
They belong in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame...it's ridiculous that they aren't.
The ( ((Rock and Roll Hall of Fame)) ) doesn't mean SH*T!!! Only superficial ppl care about that bullsh*t.
Lost the Grammy win to Linda Ronstadt 🧐 after just rebounding from losing their founder to AIDS. Grammys are hopeless. RRHOF needs Devo and B52s. 🫤
FK the rocknroll hall of fame 👎🏼👎🏼. True fans and lovers of music knows that whole thing is complete BS.
@@martymcflyer8487 No it doesn't. Devo and B52's are just fine w/out it.

As vidéo killed the vidéo stars,marketing killed Music…
B52s are my spirit animal

My daughter now 47 and I still love to rock out to LOVE SHACK like we did while traveling back and forth to college.
if you would have told me in 1978 when i first heard them that 46 years later i'd still be listening, i would have said you're crazy. so weird became so fun so fast. decades of joy.
You are correct sir/ 1978 you win ....what state?
@@josephmythen3844 The Peach state of Georgia (Athens to be exact). Weeeee!
Wonderful band and still looking great
Wild Planet is brilliant
20 years ago my girlfriend told me sadly that Fred was dead…! I had thoughts for him several times BUT today is a special resurrection day as I notice he is still with us. so happy!!!!! Come to Paris 🙏
Ricky the founding member and guitarist died sadly and was the end of the B-52's

How can one not love them?
They are all really lovely people and it's clear they really like each other

The ones who saw them life are lucky guys !😀
This Act was brilliantly conceived!
First time I heard from the B-52’s was in 1983 after a concert in Athens,I scored a t-shirt and a 45,wish that I stilled have them but I will always love the 52’s!!!
Seem like a real nice bunch as well as being the coolest and most exciting band ever.
RIP Ricky, goat
Thank you for posting this.
Wow the guys sit like real men 😮❤
You just don't see that anymore
I LOVE THE B-52’s!
Thank you for sharing this fantastic video.
Kate you are awesome
ça représente bcp de travail de garder le sourire. Longue vie au B52'S ma jeunesse en vinyle .
They seem like genuine nice people im glad they were successful
This Gang is up there with Rush. Doing what they want.
And refusing to not have fun with thier craft.
One of the greatest bands period of any era or music type!
Loved learning more about one of my favorite bands ever!
First time I saw the band was at the Lubbock coliseum. One of the best concerts I've attended. Great fun!
Saw them 89 they played rock lobtser and love shack twice, what a show
I never was a real big 52 fan but I ve grown to love them since playing their stuff
"Good Stuff" was my favorite!
Gogos and b 52 s ...my favorite
The B&E strings were both tuned to B.
Only in retrospect can it be told.
When we’re living it , we’re sliding all over the place.
Planet Claire has pink air
All the trees are red
Nobody ever dies there
Nobody has a head

Those eyes...
Love love the ,b 52 s....
My brothers who are 12 years older than me saw them in Birmingham uk in the early 90s im jealous 😫
If that was at Aston Villa leisure centre supported by Dodgy, I was there. B52s were absolutely brilliant, glad I got to see them.
Love
The ultimate party band. I love these women ❤
"Where's your icebox?"
Love Fred
Kate is still a cutie 😊
Ricky and Cindy.
I don't have a favorite member prob Kate I guess but Ricky was absolutely incredible, RIP
Astralwerks!?!? Amazing!!!
🧡
@10:30 Cindy in the left shot looks just like Gail Zappa to me. xD
These two ladies made the beehive hair style a thing!
NO THEY DIDN'T, THE BEEHIVE HAIRDOO WAS POPULAR BACK IN THE 50S 60S, SO ASK YER SELF WHERE DID THE B52S GET THAT STYLE FROM? THEY SURE AS HELL DIDN'T CREATE IT.

When will they finally be in the RRHF? It's a travesty that they aren't there.
Thier punk years are bat shit insane
Love this band. Lyrics to think to, and beats to dance to. So was Ricky the drummer?
Ricky was the guitar player. Keith was the drummer but he switched to guitar after Ricky passed.
Recorded the first album with no reverbs or anything? Interesting. I’d say that’s how they got known because their sound didn’t need a lot of work to sound good.
Definitely Rock leĝonds
🥳🌎🥳
If you close your eyes and just listen..
Sounds like Simpsons character's...
Rock on rock lobster.
