62 and enjoying in Melbourne. Did Chris grow up in Wheelers Hill? I saw an interview with Jimmy Barnes and Chris. I think he mentioned WH. Anyone know?
I saw these guys in San Diego a while back and I remember it being an odd mix of bands that night. Most people in the crowd didn’t know who these guys were as I’m pretty sure most of them were there to see My Chemical Romance and Taking Back Sunday who were playing after. I’ll never forget it because the crowd was being kinda lame until they played this song and everyone went crazy. I was there to see The Living End so I was happy to see that they won over the crowd like that. They were great!
I saw them in San Diego as well when I was a teenager. I think it was at Cane's Bar and Grill. Tsunami Bomb opened for them. Tsunami Bomb had a song I really liked at the time about Lemonade, but besides me the crowd could care less about them. The Living End made us wait another hour and a half before they took the stage. Actually it was probably the bar that made them wait to take the stage so they could sell more alcohol. It was a good show though when they finally played. The place was packed and people loved it. I knew all their lyrics and knew how to play all the songs on guitar. I think they may have played Train Kept Rollin' as their encore.
Just found this CD in a thrift store in Streetsville Ontario Canada. Saw the upright bass on the back and figured for $1.99 I'll take a chance. Glad I did.
That's what I love about Australia. So many youth anthems that sounded mean from The Easybeats and The Missing Links to Radio Birdman and The Saints to Silverchair and The Living End and so on and so forth.
I found The Living End way back when... I was playing Tony Hawk Underground 2 and the End of the World was by far my favorite song that played, looked em up, and that is how i found one of my favorite bands... ah the memories :)
Chris is so under rated he is definitely one of the best guitarist in the world to be able to play like that and sing all at that pace is truly amazing as a musician he got my respect
First time I've heard this. I was just listening to some Jimmy Barnes, and a song they did together, then followed into this. Damn...talk about kicking ass. Great.
Some of their songs imo matched the Psychobilly label as such.. Most of their early stuff with slapping and actually sounding like an upright bass, really. Too fast for rockabilly! hahah
@Medalion I live in Australia. Seen them many times live! Never played a bad show! Chris Cheney nicest guy ever!! Their live shows are pretty exciting!
Be lucky you still have kroq... I wish we had Krock still in new York... Sadly we have alt923.. a station that sounds like it was programmed by a 13 year old girl.
OI! I'm from the States. I married an Aussie girl years back and lived in Melbourne and Perth. Legitimately one of my favorite bands ever! These guys, Frenzal Rhomb, AC/DC, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds & The Bee Gees are the greatest Australian bands ever. Honorable mention to Cold Chisel and Silverchair.
Remember staying in a hostel in Melbourne in 2003, a bunch of us went out to a bar and this was the last song a cover band played, it went off! fark yeah!
This song reminds me of myself. I’m rude, obnoxious, I talk back a lot, and I don’t listen to what people tell me I should do or how I should live my life.
had this song just pop onto my "for you" Spotify Playlist and promptly spent the whole song having a mental breakdown trying to remember where I heard this. Guitar Hero World Tour, great game, great song, and great times remembered
seen these blokes live at the gc600 the other week. they still rock hard. and i for one am greatful for this. aussie rock is very underrated world wide i reckon.
