A Flock Of Seagulls- "I Ran" 1982 [Reelin' In The Years Archive] 

And he was just a kid

@@patriciacaruolo3132 He was amazing and then he partied so hard after every gig that he had to quit the band so he wouldn’t die. Now he doesn’t even play. But I’m glad he survived.

@@dynjarren8355 Wow! Poor boy!

Check out AFOS official RU-vid channel and they go over recording this , instruments and settings , Paul used a 308Ms FX delay , think the video is called how to play I ran .

@@mickd6942 Thanks!

You are right!

So true. He’s guitar playing to captured the sound and feel of the 80’s

That's so cool. Other than maybe being a Wall Street or Japanese stock broker, i'd say your age group got to experience the best part of the 80's decade lol.

Oh please post the lyrics

@@1musichombre just look 'em up dude, it takes two seconds n you're clearly already on the internet 🤣

absolutly

i like how the song is about a wife/Husband running from a UFO! but yes it has it has the seagull sound and new wave

Not a think wrong, with New Wave music. The Cars, Police, Blondie etc…

I really dig my scores hairdo

I really dig Mike scores hairdo

Paul Reynolds was about 20 years old at that time

@@user-xd3rb1fm5z That's A Possibility!, & I won't call anyone a Liar, but I did see on VH1s Re-uniting The Bands, & in That Documentary said 14 & I Read an old Rollingstone about 30 yrs ago say the same Thing!, but who cares Really, he's a Great 🎸 Guitarists 👍💯😉

Born in August 1962, according to Wikipedia and this video was recorded/broadcasted 1982.

Never say Never…

Playback for sure

@@johnconnor4953 Playback yes

Excelentes!!

😂

Have you seen what he looks like today?

That haircut ...and this song...got them attention. Unfortunately,it was looked at as a gimmick and despite dropping it and releasing a few good songs,they were dead by '85

👌👌👍👍 "Paul Daniel Bud Reynolds (born 4 August 1962) is an English singer, songwriter and musician who gained worldwide fame as the lead guitarist of the new wave band A Flock of Seagulls. AllMusic writer Tom Demalon praised Reynolds for his unique guitar style, which set his band apart from other synth-heavy acts of the time" Wikipedia

Tell me about it! ❤🌟, something about him!

That's Paul Reynolds. He was only 19 at the time this was filmed (though he looked younger). Total beast on the guitar.

The colomos brinnging the stylyl to Texas first .

The lead singer's hairstyle did come back briefly in an episode of Hawaii Five O (9th or 10th season). A passenger on a commercial jet was wearing that same exact style. Then it showed another passenger put a cigarette in his mouth. A female flight attendant quickly approached that passenger and offered him a lighter for his cigarette. Then it was revealed that the scene was actually a flash back (Lost style) that takes place in the mid 1980's, hence the '80's hair cuts. 😁 I think that jet later crashes into the ocean and then the scene moves to modern times with divers exploring the plane wreckage underwater and setting up the plot for the episode. Anyway, love the Seagulls' song!

Styles always come and go, give it time…

Go see them live if you want a live performance. They are touring the US this year. I got my tickets.

@@shyman99 They aren't scheduled to come within 500 miles of me. Also, seeing them live in 2021 is a bit different than wanting to see a classic video of them live in 1982

@@griffink - You sound like a whiner. There are classic videos of them on RU-vid performing live. Go there. I want to see lip sync videos because I like the original recording while watching them. So this video is for me.

@@shyman99 you should just watch and enjoy then, and stop arguing. Are you afraid Reelin in the Years will take down the video because I commented that I wish it could have been done live way back in 1982? Lol.

@@griffink - You should take your own advice and just leave instead of whining. Do you think you are going to change history by whining about what you wished would have happened in 1982? LOL

Yes, it's lip synced. Quite common on talk shows of the time. American Bandstand and Soul Train even did it.

But! They sound just as good live!

lip sync lol

Wasn’t uncommon back then 🤷🏼‍♂️

@@VimVinyl not uncommon today either
