Zebra stripes? Check. Popped collars? Check. Horns? Check. A bunch of Australians? Check. Denim vest? Check. Guy with a pony tail? Check. Keyboard? Check. Mullet? Check. An entire industrial drum of coke just off camera? Double check. Okay, that's settles it. This is the most 80s thing on mother earth.
Our friend, James sister who is in this video passed away only months ago. We were Ansett hosties and she missed her brother James so much and always spoke of him with so much love! They now rock on together!🥰🥰🥰
Great song! I didn't realize the lead guitarist sang lead on any of the Models songs! The guy looks like he could be the brother of the bassist from Talk Talk. Miss these guys.
Great song, great album!!! Had the cassette tape of this album back in the day. Played it so much I wore it out and had to buy another. Great Aussie band from the '80's! This album and anything INXS were my go to driving music back then. Graduated High School in '84... Was "legal" (21yrs old in the States) in '87 and the club scene was crazy back then as was any college bar with a dance floor. Love the backup singers in this video and "Cold Fever"... Miss the days of fit looking ladies, in form fitting skirts, black hose and heels. Man I wish I could go back... To be young in the '80's was a great time!
Thank you James for sharing this song with us and your pain. Not convincing unless you have been there, and you have. You are with the Lord now, I know you will see Barbados and the surfing will be good. Both amazing and sad that those most gifted are the ones that suffer the most. Gods speed James, you rest in peace, you have done your Job here. God Bless you mate. To your loved ones James, I offer my deepest condolences, what a loss to this day and always, the great honor of knowing you I hope will carry them through.. sincerely, Rob
I”m from Brisbane (for better or worse) and I am a lifelong fan of The (original) Saints with Ed on guitar. It was a very repressive time but artists were fighting back. Artists like The Saints. This is like a time machine. A kickass one.
This song - so good - remember seeing them in Adelaide with Wendy Mathews doing back up vocals - I know that Kate gets the raps for the back ups but Wendy - always a true talent..where is she now? Hopefully still making music!
I like how James is not even making a pretence of playing the bass, a choice little dig at Countdowns insistence that all acts lipsync and mime. Not as overt as Chisels' famous debacle, but still a class move by Mr Freud. RIP. One of a kind, and a largely misunderstood artist.
A true officisho - nardo of the guitar and pitch perfect voice , For a man that presumably was pretty sick at that stage of his career A amazing , timeless performance of a great song …
