As a kid I used to walk to the library to rent the crow soundtrack just to hear this song while I did my homework:) All the other songs on the tape kick ass too but something about this song!
This is one from that album that I always skipped over and I don’t know why. I guess I just wasn’t ready for it, and that’s a shame. Better late than never!
@brad davidson in other words, what you’re saying is because essentially all he’s using is some distortion, reverb and a wah pedal to achieve this sound, even a baby seal could do this… with enough money, booze and tight undies.
Never heard a band with such a downright filthy/sleazy sound and vibe. This is the height of the pissed up, insouciant era. Jim has a "Don`t give a fuck" attitude that Liam would kill for.
I got their debut in 2002 and saw them half a dozen times orso in England. They were good, solid, cool and had some good songs but i kinda lost track of the m after their 2nd album.
I've seen them twice in June. They're on a whole different level than any other band, it's unreal. I'm willing to put them next to The Kinks and The Ramones. The songwriting is off the charts.
A lot of things were of much realer quality back then. Try playing the Mary Chain through any contemporary cheap-ass mass-market system, and it's going to rattle itself and everything in proximity to it apart.
Wow first thank you Colin for uploading this amazing version I first heard a 12" extend mix of Hit in '85 ,then Pcandy, But This Version is a perfect balance of grizzly FU attitude & that level of distortion Always makes Me 🤪& I could comment on so many of the comments I guess the comparison to VU sister Ray another great band from that era as a live album from 85 echo and the bunny man does practically a whole album of Velvet underground with the occasional Stones tune thrown in there but anyway amazing thank you made my day everybody I wish you all lucid dreams tonight

They should be wearing black and their sunglasses on in indoors. Not Jamie Oliver shirts and Next sweaters. This sound's fantastic, noisy and live though.
