Hello...I was waitressing at Perkins Pancake House back in the 80s and 2 of our waiters introduced me to the music of the B52s. They were art students at Akron U. Those were some really fun times. There were about a dozen of us all different ages working together teens to a few in their 50-60-70s and sometimes we'd all go out after work for a meal and some fun. We became like family and every time I hear "Love Shack" by the B52s it brings back memories of those days. I'm 78 now and one of those Art students has passed away and the other a professor of Art at a college. And my bus girl of 18 is turning 60. Can't believe how the time has flown by. Bye from Ohio🌹
I played in the Athens Symphony for about seven years - Kate is standing right about in the spot that I used to plant my cello on the Classic Center stage.
This version feels like having a slightly slower tempo than the original. It takes a little energy off, in my view. At this same concert, though, their version of Private Idaho was amazing.
I remember seeing them back in the Own Private Idaho College Days when they were rocking the college circuits with Rock Lobster as well as other hit that brought an obscure music style from England called New Wave To The USA in a breaking storm of music, style and fashion. Sad to say it was short lived but it was WOW period! This grubbing for money is a sell out to The B52s very legacy!!!
Just popped their cd in yesterday... got me rockin' thru college days in the early 80s and here I am still loving Planet Claire, Rock Lobster, strobe light, LShack, pvt IDaho.....
Als ich 20 war, sagte ich, dass ich auf einem Conzi von B-52's etwas zur Beruhigung nehmen müßte .... ich glaub es wäre immer noch so. Die Energie der Stimmen treibt mir die Tränen in die Augen.... bang bang bang LOVE LOVE
I've been a b52s fan since 7th grade 1980. There's not one song that stinks on there first two albums. Wild planet was my first. I'm going to play it now
they are fortunate to have that drummer and bass player... what a rhythm section...spot on!!! they are all so good...still...65 now and still want to grab the wife and swing her around to this tune.... lol
Kate Pierson, the redhead, also did possibly the best duet in Rock and Roll history, with Iggy Pop, called "Candy," and is also heard on R.E.M's "Happy Shiny People!"
Awwwww me encanta como se escucha sus voces por el paso del tiempo con un ligero cambio, pero nada notable, siguen transmitiendo esa vibra que los caracteriza THE B-52's son lo mejor✨✨✨✨✨✨💖💖💖💖💖💖
My very favorite song about big Chryslers ever. - A great hit single with the outlandish performance of Fred played against the more serious, but campy, vocal performance of the girls.
THE Ultimate party band. I´ like to dedicate this song to my friend Teppana (nickname) about introducing this band to me. Teppana has gone to the other side already, but listening this song get´s me to right mood for cheering both, Teppana and life. Cheers......
He still sounds amazingggggggg! They all do!!!! Age is nothing but a number, I'd pay for this over almost anything i hear of this gen. He always sounded like a car dealer to me! :)
