Despite sadly being exposed to this living in the UK I’ve come back after hearing the unprecedented 3/4 parter this morning. Can’t wait until the lads get to big Raoul Moat…
Lyrically, his best work for me. Saw him do this at the Gateshead Arms as part of a lengthy conceptual work and thought it had serious promise. Still hoping he'll return to music.
That's Gazza for you, always been way too modest. Its an open secret in the music industry that he repeatedly turned down offer's to perform on Jools Holland, last night at the the proms and even the Queen mothers funeral.
@@saulwest8254 It's a crying shame, a real what-might-have-been. A three night run at Knebworth was there for the taking too, if only he had released the album he had spent the best part of two years toiling on (working title: 'Jimmy Five Bellies and Me: The Glory Years'). I heard a bootleg copy that leaked briefly, it was amazing. Included a 10 minute jazz-rock exploration of Geordie Boys and a Grime collab with Stormzy. Hopefully he'll resume the record at some point because it's what the world needs, certainly the likes of long-suffering fans like us.
...i like the stuff he did with Butthole Surfers, well it was a more a spin off project of them but anyway it was all mad skills & showed just how much raw talent he had, a real natural born front man who could carry a group and have these amazing moments of brilliance, a true shining star, God i miss him... ...had those 12"s & LPs on imported limited press coloured vinyl but my mum took them down the charity shop with her Shirley Bassey stuff... ...now if only those 2 had got together eh...
In 2000 I made my first trip to Newcastle. I'm an American had had decided 4 years earlier that I would be a Newcastle United supporter. Back in those days games weren't on TV, but the live audio commentaries were streamed freely by all the clubs, so as a college student I would wake up early on Saturday mornings to go to the university computer lab to listen to the Newcastle game and chat with other fans around the world. When I finally got to Newcastle, one of those guys from the chat room put me up at his place, and it was in his car that I first heard this song. I almost became a Manchester United supporter at that moment.
@@Vodaph0ne the great history of winning, and the stability and lack of drama. Ha!! No, it was fate. In 1996 I studied in Normandy, and the overnight ferry over the Channel was super cheap, a big group of us Americans took it one night, but while everyone else went to London, I, a history lover, went to Canterbury. By myself, I met a guy at a pub from Newcastle, had lots of beers and we watched Auf Wiedersehn Pet, I remember he really emphasized this being a Newcastle thing. Anyway I wasn't into soccer before that semseter in France but I startedto love it then, and then in August back home, in 1996 ESPN started showing the Premier League in the USA, and I decided to turn it on one Saturday morning and Newcastle was one of the teams playing, so I thought back to the guy I hung out with in Canterbury, and decided to cheer for them. And then, my mom was a flight attendant at the time, and while on a delay in London she bought a Newcastle jersey for me...she had no idea I had started cheering for them, she just liked how it looked (and that 1996 era with the Broon logo is still my favorite). So mostly random chance, but while haven't had loads of success, do have some great memories, and always felt a certain similarity between the Geordies and the fans of the sports team I grew up with, the Green Bay Packers.
Yeah, I think some people forget just how famous he was. I remember there was a whole section in WHSmith (or maybe Virgin Megastore, can't quite remember) dedicated to Gazza where they had a Gazza calendar, a Gazza shellsuit, a Gazza computer game, etc.
Incredibly sincere and touching lyrics we have here, particularly the bit about the sausage rolls. As for the dancing, well, it's comparable with that of Michael Jackson's. Amazing talent from Gazza!
A highly underrated vocalist . It's my core belief that his vocal talents are far in excess of his talents with a football. His vast potential remains largely untapped to this day.
this song's about getting proper mashed in Newcastle like man and not being able to see so it means fog on the tyne is all mine all mine fog on the tyne is all mine! Quality tune. Gazza is holdin in down bro
its "fog on the tyne is mine all mine" the tyne is a river in newcastle in north east england the song was originally sang by a band called lindisfarne from the city this version is (badly) sang by Paul Gasgoine a footballer who used to play for the citys premier league football team and is from neighbouring town Gateshead
Crime in Sports podcast brought me here! Shout-out to James and Jimmie! Listen to their other podcasts Your stupid opinions and Small Town Murder! GobbleGobble!!
Enough fame and money to do ridiculously outrageous and stupid things, get drunk and have a laugh but not too much where they are out of touch with people, are relentlessly media trained, and too robotically professional where personality is all but gone. Golden age of crazy bastards!
Remember this from students days in 1990. Happy memories dancing to this in the student bar. Gazza a part of my youth, love this song and al the best to you Paul.
As a Newcastle United fans I like the song, but Gazza life has taken a very sad path, Alcoholism is a horrible disease, and I hope he can get help he needs in time, to get well .
I bet he’s lived a better life and seen more than most!!! And he is a living legend and will always be remembered as the most exiting English number 10 ever! Newcastle legend! Love the kid to death! Amd to top it off he’s a Gateshead lad like myself from gods country, and gazza proves that fact! Legend Abso legend! Bet he’s had more laughs more birds more lines and more pints and more belter holidays than is all out together! Like when someone said to George beat about his ‘sad’ life his reply was mate I’m married to mrs universe amd get paid to play football…. Live and let live ffs..but of course I hope he gets well and the help he needs.. it’s a disgrace the English football lads with the pathetic money they earn couldn’t all chip in 1% each of one week wage all the English lads and get his a rehab in a lovely place where he can do a serious detox and stop the drink. If he wants to of course. But shame on the footballers of today for not having that offer on the table 24:7
alcoholism isn't a disease, it's not like it's contagious now is it. The matter of the truth is that some just like their strong drinks a wee bit too much than the rest of us.
This was the opening hit played on Retro Charts Radio this morning. RCR is playing every UK Top 40 Hit (1952-1999) on elimination random from 8am to 11pm every day. Give it a try, you'll probably never hear the same hit twice! It’s a music journey no-one has been on before :) #RippingUpTheRadioRuleBook
I have been living here since 2015 and I have never seen fog on the Tyne in Newcastle or anywhere else either. Neither have I seen fog on the Wear, Don or Osborne.
I challenge, Messi, Ronaldo,M'Bappe, Halland, Saka... Anyone to drink like Gazza did , then get up in the morning and score one of the greatest goals ever scored in international football like this guy did.....any takers???? Nah thought so!!!!!! Absolute legend,this from a United fan!!!!👊😎
Gazza, büyük bir futbolcuydu, ben onun futbolunu beğeniyordum, futbol hayatı daha uzun olabilrdi, özel hayatı kötü olunca futbol hayatı maalesef kısa sürdü, onu sahada seyretmek zevkti gerçekten.
As a Rangers fan from Scotland, his goal against Scotland at Euro 96 made me proud, because he had just completed his first full season at Ibrox prior to the competition. We took a chance on him, rescued him from his Lazio exile, and he recaptured a fair amount of the talent which made him a World Class midfielder. So, in effect, Rangers gave England back their Gazza, and he repaid us with a wonder goal against us, lol. Awesome goal though.
