They have been going since mid 80s gpld mother was released twice you know an the 2nd time mad3 it there 4th album stutter /strip mine / one man clapping gold mother . then gold mother then seven ect . some of there earlier stuff was more weired they toured with stone roses insprial carpets . before bug 90s break through
one of those bands that don't seem to be remembered as much, but when you listen to their back catalogue there is a surprisingly large number of indie classics
The best band ever that no one talk much about :( Became my favorite just a couple weeks ago after seeing them at Pier17 in NYC Never knew about “James” before :(
I remember hearing that song in 1990 on the radio and desperately trying to find out who this band was. xD I still listen to their Best Of CD quite often these days. Great band.
This Album is in my top 4 of all time . And the other 3 are 1 . The Who : Quadraphenia 2 . The Jam : Setting sons 3 . Ocean colour scene : Moseley Shores . These 4 are the ones I can easily listen to for an eternity .
Moved in to a new house yesterday and this song came on as I was driving in to my new town and continued right up to parking in my new drive.....a sign hopefully!!!! Xx
First saw them supporting Bowie in Manchester. Didn’t know who they were. I do now. Greatest Manchester band ever bar none. 3rd only to the Beatles and stones. Tim Booth’s energy and vocals second to none. Most underrated band ever. Can’t get my head round it .
After seeing James at Scarborough last year .I truly forgot how many fantastic songs they have done .they was absolutely fantastic live better than some of the massive gigs I've been to .if you gey a chance go see them what a show man truly brilliant my kids now hooked age 17,20&22
I watched this classic video in an extremely clapped out rustic bar in Lima Peru recently.. The way I feel just makes me want to scream... Oh that lyric hit the spot after six large bottles of beer. Nonetheless at that moment I was overwhelmed with a warm sense of happiness...
Crazy thing is they never thought they were that good. They supported a lot of bands like Inspiral Carpets and Happy Mondays before developing their own following. For me, with the possible exception of Stone Roses, they were the best.
Stone Roses only have 2 records and the only time I saw them live they were shit, others like James, The Charlatans and Happy mondays way much better on Stage.
William Main Y'know I just saw them a few months ago in NYC when they made a quick stop here. I grabbed a few tickets and had a blast, their live act is incredible! Yet it's the music, the poetry in the lyrics that gets you. I'm glad they made #LaPetiteMort great album!
William Main I've been to Manchester a few years back, could see the home-town traditions and fierce loyalties in place. It's the music though, this sound that came out of Mad-chester lol. Soon as I heard Jarvis Cocker, Blur, Charlatans, Verve, Richard Ashcroft, Richard Hawley, damn there's so many I can't name em all, I don't care where they're from but surprisingly so many are from the Manchester area. Wish I hadn't missed out on that time but making up for it. James is BEST.
Concerting again UK going to see them in june . wow had original goldmother album before re releaze in late 80s along with strip mining and another before they made it into the charts and festivals in 90s
Amazing Manchester band, who I folllowed from their early origins and early live sessions on Manchester's 'Piccadilli Radio' , still got the recordings on cassette that I taped off the radio! Amazing band, this is from an amazing LP 'Gold Mother' but this has always been my fave track by them ! dx
"Come Home" It's that time again when I lose my friends Go walkabout, I've got the bends from pressure This is a testing time when the choice is mine Am I a fool for love or foolish with desire You can throw him out, you can spit on him Call what he does a sin if it makes you feel better And I can't believe you're all I'll ever need And I need to feel that you're not holding me And the way I feel just makes me want to scream Come home, come home, come home Come home, come home, come home After thirty years I've become my fears I've become the kind of man I've always hated I am pulled apart, and my swollen heart Has flipped out of the pan into the fire I am in love insane with a sense of shame That I threw stones at the condemned and now I'm slated And I don't believe you're all I'll ever need And I need to feel that you're not holding me But the way I feel just makes me want to scream Come home, come home, come home Come home, come home, come home Come home, come home, come home
What a refreshing change - a good song on RU-vid, with no meatheads giving it the thumbs down. Almost unheard of! "After 30 years, I've become my fears - I've become the kind of man I've always hated." Ouch. When I first heard this, it was just a good lyric. Now, many years later, it's too damned close to home...
there are so many good songs on youtube, like every song ever made? and who cares if someone with a drug problem doesn't like it? who cares if anyone doesn't like the same music as you?
On Friday i started listening to this video and I love it and I love it where they was filming it and Tim was holding a wooden bat and looks like that Tim was having a dusl with another band mate at leat it was sunny there Thank you Tim Booth and the other members for that it was great fun you guys are fun too xxx
