The funny thing g is back then. It wasn't that low budget. Cameras weren't a common. thing. Or people that could operate one. Now a days. An iPhone 6 could make all these for free lol
I had no idea this was shot in nz, my home country. Big fan since i was young but never realised this video existed. That building behind him is our house of parliment, known as The Beehive😺
@Alivia Jones Your disparaging comment has appeared more than once. You're trolling. Stop that habit. When you scroll through comments to see which person you can troll, it makes you a pathetic person, Alivia.
@Alivia Jones that’s fine but how is bashing people in the process cool? ‘No one asked’ you said or in other words you don’t GAF about what that person got out of the clip, you could keep that to yourself but you chose to make that person feel small about where they come from, that was the purpose of your comment was it not ? People put these clips up for others to enjoy and that person enjoyed seeing the location it was shot in as they had a personal connection. You chose to piss on that comment, I know you don’t regret it, you obviously get off on acidic commenting and I think that’s a pretty sad existence
God remember this from New Zealand when I was a kid. I'm bored too. In 1978 my dream was to be a bar boy at club 52... but my life was Foxton New Zealand....ran to get out of there as soon as I could..!!
This is great! Love the quick glimpse of Roger Gascoigne. And it takes me back to being in Wellington in the early 1990's with Tim Scott, who'd heard where Iggy was going to be rehearsing with his band. We went there, we could hear music, I opened the door and INSTANTLY Iggy stopped playing, turned to the doorway and said "Yes, hello!" I was so disconcerted by the fact that Iggy and The Stooges were rehearsing in the dark, when Tim wouldn't come with me, I ended up just closing the door and we walked away, me probably giving Tim quite a hard time. I wanted to meet Iggy Pop! He was the one who'd played in (local punk band) The First Fifteen ffs! What was the matter with him? Lol. Hopefully Samantha Swan got to meet the Ig Man and present him with that cake she'd made, which I seem to recall was for his birthday. Good times! Both Tim and Sam are dead now yet infamous Iggy, like Keith Richards, is still alive and kicking.
When New Values came out it was my fave album along with Duty Now For The Future. If i was on a trip for the weekend, those 2 albums were on heavy rotation. Brilliant album every song. Endless Sea, Curiosity, Girls, New Values, and fave Billy Is A Runaway "We pull into the liquor store And he was underage And all he said to me was put your money away" "Billy's got a family want to skin him alive His dope-dealing sister wants him to join the enterprise" Iggy has written some superb lyrics through his best albums.
My favorite Iggy Pop albums are "Lust For Life" (1977) & 'New Values" (1979) I listen to these albums when i'm happy, sad, mad, hornry & angry. They're perfect for all occasions !
Why wasn’t MTV showing this video back in the early 80’s when the channel had just started. I had always heard they didn’t have enough videos at the beginning and we all remember seeing a lot of the same videos at first! But I know I never saw this one!!
It was filmed in Wellington, NZ, for a program called "Radio with pictures" that showed on Sunday night (not Ready to roll, on Saturday, as previously stated - that was exclusively top 10 pop).
I found that same leather jacket in a thrift store last year before I’d seen this video. I knew I subconsciously bought it for a reason 😂 too look more like iggy.
@OnceWasRStrathfield - My son just said "I'm bored", which reminded me of this song, so I clicked on the video and was surprised to see the 'Beehive' in Wellington; And we live here! X-))
@Dick Wick what a cliche cynical thing to say. I really wish people like you would just shut up in life and keep their heads in. I'm not even from New Zealand, but I hate tired cynics like you. Let me check your page... Oh wow, not a thing! Enough said.
@Dick Wick I guessing your stuck in your ways, and would prefer to use the internet to make thoughtless remarks than use it for research and enlightenment. As an American, I have discovered a lot of things from New Zealand that are good, particularly the indie rock music from the 80's and 90's (The Chills, The Bats, The Clean, etc). It's been a very rewarding thing to find out there's more to life than having my head in the sand and dismissing things just because MTV didn't throw it in my lap (though I did find out about The Chills through MTV, to be fair)
Everybody was bored when quitting drugs iggy lol.... And then the Berlin Wall Came down... Great song but a long time ago that has no reflection on anything today. Figure it out.
Chairman: The 3,247,984,291,624th meeting of the Bored is now in session. Someone check the minutes, er hours of the last meeting for some same old. same old business we tabled, or was it our heads on the table
Wow, first time seeing this video. I was familiar with his other 'Bored' video from when it came out, but didn't know he made another one! Anyone know why he decided to make two different ones? That's got to be pretty unusual.
@@tylerwilson6561 You know you can make a meme for positive reasons, right? Case in point: “we are number one.” .....Well to be fair you could be right perhaps a more suitable me at this point we probably have to be blah blah blah (the title track from the album)
Correct me if i am wrong but, i guess this song was written after he went sober from the drug and alcohol abuse?.. Heaven knows its a state in between after that time when you go sober where everything is just mellow, dark, depressing and boring.
Um, let's just say no. Post punk era, new wave. Iggy without Bowie was half lost, both New Values and Soldier and Party was the weakest of the time, I love the three albums, Iggy was forced by contract to create hits and not being number one, and not winning good money, his behavior leads him to alcohol and drugs ... to find out more history go to the dangerous minds page
@@gonziggy Wow. Yeah i should have done my homework instead guessing. Just thought since the video and music seems to rings so true about post abuse. Thank you for replying
@@gonziggy yeah, it was so weak that David Bowie took Don't Look Down & Tonight for his Tonight album. I love this three albums just as much I love his masterpieces with Bowie The Idiot & Lust for Life. Bowie reinterpreted China Girl from first and Neighborhood Threat from second Iggy solo effort.
