One of the things I like the most about Brett's lyrics is the honesty he conveys through them.... This song is incredible. A 50 something year old man recognising he misses his mum this much. Beautiful, it doesn't make him weak but honorable.
His voice was pretty shredded when they did a live spot with Lamacq on BBC6 a month ago, but he was back to this form in Brooklyn last night. Remarkable, indeed!
@@mungofinalfi4480 talking just about british singer from the 90's, Brett has a lot of competition: Thom Yorke barely has a bad day, Liam Gallagher regained his voice, Damon Albarn was never a technically proficient singer, but his tone has always sounded beautiful, Noel Gallagher and Graham Coxon have only been improving their singing since then, Gaz Coombes was amazing this year on Glastonbury, Tim Burgess... well, I don't really know how his been doing lately but I really like his singing on The Charlatans's early alhums... Yeah, those are all I can think about in the moment
What a PHENOMENAL performance, and INCREDIBLE ENERGY from the band and especially from Brett, who gave it everything. This has been without doubt, for me, the best band I've seen on the new format post-covid Jools show.
You should see him at the end of a gig, soaked in sweat, he puts in some amount of energy. They have done a few recently, and they are on RU-vid, brilliant live
that's a performance by a band that know's what they are playing is a stone cold fcking classic. And that confidence sparks belief. Catchy hooks also help;) (I live with my elderly mother. And I know when she dies she'll always be a presence in my life. Thankfully, she's a good soul. I'll miss her thoughts, warmth and cooking. Just life.)
Jaw dropping. Literally. I was watching this in the living room with my parents and when it came on I thought "oh, it's Suede". Little did I realise it was actually more like Suede 2.0! Must be one of the best lead riffs I've heard in decades. By the time of the bridge I was off the sofa and started dancing in front of the telly. Initially my mom thought I was being daft, but when the chorus hit then boom she got up too. Did dad join in? Of course he did! We pogo'd our way through the second chorus. More of the same lads. Please. We're not worthy.
I wasn't expecting that level of performance at all. Having followed them since the very beginning I don't know why I keep expecting them to mellow with age and for Brett's vocals to go awol. Very pleasantly surprised and disappointed at myself to have missed their latest gigs.
Feck Suede's second coming is phenomenal (and better than what they produced before they disbanded imo), and this live performance is fantastic. Brett is on fire.
Tremendous music and performance. I was only a lukewarm admirer of the band's earlier material from the 1990's. But this music is far more muscular. Louder and rockier. Brett's vocals are deeper. Went out and bought the album. Excellent! one of the best I have heard this year.
So sweet Brett seemingly tense and uncertain and with a grin kinda getting over it with his beautiful voice and the song. I love this band until the end of my days for sure
I kinda checked out after Dog Man Star. That band meant so much to me and by Head Music the glossy sheen was too much. I wanted Brett being Scott Walker basically. This though, this awakened me to the band again. That performance is so fcking raw, right, and impassioned. The song is utterly beautiful, and certainly something beyond special about it..... I'm checking back in.
So happy I finally got to see these guys last year. And it didn't feel like a bunch of old guys reliving their past; they were just as good as their prime.
Rock music were coming back on 2022, Manics released new album, Red Hot Chili Peppers released two new albums + John Frusciante’s comeback, Blink 182 turn back with initial formation + releases “Edging”, Chemical Romance’s reunion + new single releases, Megadeth’s new album, Jethro Tull’s new album as well, RATM with their first live performance in over 11 years and now, but the bitter things happen as well when the Foos Taylor Hawkins passed away. and now,glad to see Suede with the “She Still Leads Me On” *edit : i wish Oasis will be reunited
