Roxy Music - Both Ends Burning 

What back up vocalists?😒

They’re The Sirens.

They broke the mold when they formed. Forever cool ❤

You are correct.

I don’t know about “disco”. More like blue-eyed funk/R&B, or as Bowie referred to his own album released at the same time, in the same style… “plastic soul”. This was kind of a forerunner to a lot of those early 80’s new wave funk sounds like Duran Duran, ABC, etc.

Country life, is a blast from the past, if you get a chance, give it a spin. Enjoy.!!

I loved Siren & it got a thrashing every Friday night acid party when it arrived with 'Wish You Were Here' in 75. Still love siren, my favorite after the 1st 3 masterpieces. Was lucky enough to see them live in Sydney in 1975 & Eddie Jobson was magnificent. I was slightly trepidatious with Eno exiting but elated I went after the concert that I went.

@@johnmckenna8544 I couldn't get into country Life back when it came out after the 1st 3 masterpieces but I will give it another try!~

Bryan is the definition of cool

Saw him @ 73 @ the Fox Theater in Detroit just last weekend...still killing it...amazing performance!!!

@@curtc21942024 and he’s still at it, and from all accounts still fantastic live. I really need to get tickets.

The magnitude of his influence cannot be overstated. He was arguably just as innovative and influential a rock and roll frontman/vocalist as Bowie was, only far less heralded. Especially with all the new wave bands of the early 80’s. I remember so many of those singers trying SO hard to ape Bryan’s style, but all of them falling well short. He’s a true original, and just the epitome of cool.

Can't imagine anyone denying that which is overwhelmingly obvious other than Joe Biden & Hunter LMAO

rosemort2 ffs don’t mention the two of them in the same breath.

Yes very much so, :) also the Sex Pistols, and Japan.

@@chezdoff9926 Why not? Snob?

Prescient comment.

Yep, Duran Duran's sound is a mixture of this and the Sweet's lies in your eyes, from the same period. Listen and be convinced.

Was it supposed to be. ?? Bec it sounds like it

I actually am pretty stunned by the fact that neither Roxy Music nor Bryan Ferry have ever contributed a song to a 007 film.

The Sirens Doreen and Jacqui, they're not on the album, only live. Pointless video when we can't hear them.

I have to say that Roxy Music were very much of their time, not ahead of their time. The '70's were full of so many terrific artists doing the same kinda stuff but maybe you just weren't around at the time to say that.

@@rsmith7912Agreed, and I was only 7 years old when this came out. Still, I can remember what an innovative era that was. There were new sounds, styles, and attitudes surfacing constantly. Roxy were definitely on the cutting edge of things, at least during their first run (which was about to come to a close here), but not what I’d really consider “ahead of their time”, and that’s not meant to be derogatory. They were absolutely wonderful, but they were very much a 70’s phenomenon.

... couldn't AGREE more - THIS and "Virginia Plain" !

Me too! Best tune of the 70's!

could not agree more.....😊

1😊3 I didn't hear of him till I was in my early 30s. And I'm into music. What the .. It's awesome JulieKilburn

Carla Harris I have an addiction for this song ..

Ok, simmer down there, killer. It’s a great song, yes. Let’s start with that.

Not true....since I own all the Roxy Music Albums as well as the Bowie Albums,and don't download,I know what Great music is!!!!

I'm about Music,not arguing over Dumb stuff,Tony!!!

It would have been over if Bryan Ferry had left the band.Eno leaving had no lasting affect.Roxy is way above Bowie.Bowie's major work was making it possible for Iggy to survive.

@@db3crashcoursecinema No Doubt! to both quotes!! I agree with you, it was a different era and it didn't end for them. And how great and totally awesome for the rest of us! Yes!? 👌

@@staceysnider7076..I'm still playing the Roxy Catalog right now ..Years Later..Ha,ha,ha!!!

Detroit which venue

Just saw him in Detroit @ the Fox Theater...still killing it @ 73!!!!

This is 1000% spot on thank you

More like a coked out priest. Lol 😆

I concur!

An extremely sexy combination indeed !

Ha!

Right? If you see pictures and hear the songs, you think this must be the coolest guy ever. Like Cary Grant territory. Then you see him in motion, and oh, the awkwardness! 🤣

​@Artrepreneur_Art I don't know about that, manzanera, Mackay & Thompson were pretty damn good players!

@@Artrepreneur_Art pathetic troll

+Geoff Simpson It took some time. It was after their reunion that they adopted their new sound.

To justify your statement that Roxy went mainstream as a result of Jobson leaving,how many Roxy songs did Jobson compose.

As far as late 70’s and early 80’s new wave bands were concerned, there probably wasn’t any other bigger influence than Roxy Music, and especially Bryan Ferry. I could see it with almost every single one of those bands in the very early days of MTV. Of course their influence was much more far reaching than just skinny tie bands, but nowhere else was it more obvious.

We were rock and rollers once and Young yep perfect it still gets me going the same way as it did the first time I heard it checkout Boz Scaggs and Duane Allman loan me a dime peace sister Keep On Rockin in the Free World

LOL, yeah it sounds perfect because they're not really singing or playing...HELLO!! they're lip-syncing to the studio version my dear sorry to burst your bubble😂

@@everly-shadystudios9900 and?

@@everly-shadystudios9900 Even because I was referring to instrumental and music itself. Go back to school and study text interpretation.

@@everly-shadystudios9900How do you even know what she was referring to? Or are you one of these people who has to make their smugness quota by the end of the week by throwing snark where it’s not warranted?

Like, totally. Fer sure.

Gotta go with the live Viva version, though...!

@@richrol58All of the versions from Viva! are superior to the studio versions, for the most part. That is arguably the most overlooked live album of the 70’s, which itself was the golden decade of the live album.

dead on

I haven’t seen a single comment discussing anything about Duran Duran until I saw this one. Hmmm…

Yet they were still good friends, and Bowie even referred to Bryan as his “favorite songwriter”… but I get it. These comment sections are just breeding grounds for trolls to work on their material.

Here’s to Bryan! Be polite!

@@Shikta-poobah67, shove the dove.

@@ivorytower99 Guess you’re not much of a Blue Velvet fan.

Eno had gone before this

*LONG* before this.

Are you not supposed to stand up at a Roxy Music concert?

Maybe they don’t get enough credit from the mainstream music press, but they certainly get *TONS* of credit, respect, and admiration from other bands and musicians. All the ones I know at least.

i see an athlete grinding away in a rough delivery of sweat and effort....where do ppl get the cool and class impression? must be the pictures on the cover because Bryan Ferry bangs out the live HARD mofo's!!
