The La's - Live & interview Rapido (The Best Version) 

Maybe it might explain why he won't make a living from touring ,There she goes has kept him going as still played on the radio .

There is brilliant book on British songwriters. Mavers is in it, he talks about the music was already there he just found the chords & arranged the words. It's true, & an interesting view into his Mind.

Absolutely

I don't understand why they weren't bigger, if they came alone a few years later when "britpop" was popular they'd have ruled the roost

Glad you enjoyed this Steven.

I’d say it’s the best debut album ever 👍

The La's is a great shame. They should've been big, but Mavers completely sabotaged any chance of that. They had so much money thrown at them - much more than any new band gets these days. People like Mavers are the reason indie labels get taken over by Majors and why record labels in general don't want to take a chance on a new band.

@@Picnicl it's a tragedy that instead of 5 or 6 different La's albums, we only have the one album. What I'm saying is that although most people know the song 'There She Goes' The La's are still pretty obscure. Mavers is largely to blame as instead of seizing the opportunity that was given to him he sabotaged it - recording the same album over and over and then when it did eventually come out he used every opportunity to say how shit he thought it was. That kind of behaviour generally doesn't lead to global success.

The fact that it's been 30 years since the album came out and Mavers still hasn't released any new material kind of proves that John made the right decision in leaving. As great as Mavers' talent/songs were/are it's pretty pointless if you never release anything.

The funny thing is EVERY version of these songs sound great to my ears. They are so fucking good the songs can't be ruined.

@@ryansams1268 if there were more people in the world like Mavers at that time we wouldn’t have to put up with all the manufacturerd bullshit that has cluttered the music industry to date.Mavers ain’t no puppet never will be….who wants to here 5 over produced albums driven by greed leading to global success……..unfortunately that’s when music gets lost…..that’s the real TRAGEDY

Thank you Gerardo

Auld BMWs and Lee Mavers, can't think of 2 cooler things.

Absolutely

Thanks for watching and leaving a comment

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks for watching and commenting

My thoughts exactly.. Thanks for watching and commenting

The BBC sessions sound way better

From what I've read I think it's grew on him abit more than when it first came out

@@kylemclachlan8651exactly

I think he resented the fact that it was all chopped up and stitched together by a producer. They put it together like a hip hop album or something lol

Glad you enjoyed this

ScottishTeeVee amazing

Thanks for that info, I have another RU-vid channel, where I wander around abandoned buildings, castles stately homes, industrial complexes etc, so I really did wonder where that was filmed.

@@ScottishTeeVee cool man might check it out

@Stavroguine826 Be careful thats the kind of thing the police like to open a cold case review of, then make a documentary, probably with some of The La`s music in the background.

I wonder if he is referring to looking glass. If he is he should be thankful because that song sounds incredible on the album. Best ending to a record ever

All the material was there, hundreds of hours of gold!

Yeah - they could’ve dominated the 90’s with his song writing talent 🥲. I’m sure I recall Noel saying in an interview that in the early days of Oasis, he only feared The La’s and Lee’s songwriting skills - but thankfully for them a 2nd album never materialised .

Glad you think so!

I don't think so, I have another interview where his does say clearly that the album is rubbish

I wonder what he is doing, he has no online presence that I can find

@@ScottishTeeVee he hasn't done a gig in 7 or 8 years. He is back to being a recluse.

Shame, there are many waiting for a return

@@ScottishTeeVee I know - I've never seen him live as I only heard of/got into The La's in 2012. I've sent him a letter. Maybe he has health issues - who knows? Or maybe he is just happy being a recluse, but it's such a shame to keep all that talent hidden away!

@@ryansams1268 did you get a response to the letter? What did ya say?

You’ll never stop will you

la`s heater
