The Talking Heads Iceberg Explained 

Jerry is a fucking chad.

Brian Eno's album before and after science has a song kings lead hat .The song title is an anagram. The song is about the Talking heads.

28:03 damn i was not expecting jerry to sound like that

Great video and great job diving into the more obscure facts (or urban legends) of Talking Heads. I must admit, Jerry Harrison being 100 percent fed up with shit in the recording late in the video had me laughing for some reason.

Nice video ! 🙂 Thanks for using the audio I posted of the Billerica show, it's one of my favourite because of the fire incident and the way Jerry is so laidback about it

Once in a Lifetime was one of the first videos played on MTV on the first day of its existence.

Having read Chris Frantz's book Remain In Love, I have to say that it appears you're going too soft on David Byrne here. He not only left his wife at the RRHOF induction ceremony, but he skipped town, left her with no idea where he was or how to get "home', and simply didn't tell her about it. Chris and Tina ended up helping her out. David also did a similar thing in the '80s with his first girlfriend, left her in America while he was touring in Japan and didn't tell her they'd broken up, until she figured it out when he came back to the states with his new girlfriend, who he then married. David also did some more unethical things regarding songwriting credits, leaving everybody but himself off of the album as writers, although they all collaborated on every track and should have all been properly credited. There's more, but it goes way beyond ups and downs, yes it was a very toxic band relationship.

I tried to find something related to the disastrous events of the Boston Arts Show but I couldn’t find anything. All I found was that apparently the B-52’s opened for them prior and that there is a recording of the show, but there’s no I Zimbra encore. I’m not even sure how a guitar amp, being used professionally on a stage by a band that has done many shows prior, could explode dramatically in flames. Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth would sometimes literally crank all the settings on his amp to 10 at the start of a concert and keep it like that till at the very end when the amp will make a pop sound and die, yet his amp never caught fire suddenly. Honestly it’s either a straight up conspiracy theory or a Final Destination-style butterfly effect happened that caused one of the amps to explode and then somehow information gets lost or withheld from the public to protect the venue and the band’s reputation. I’m still very interested though so I’d really like to know how you found the information you did find

I believe that though Tina and Chris did say some not good things, I do not think we should shun them, people change. If we must condemn them for their past mistakes, then we might as well with David doing blackface. Granted - yes, he did apologize.

I like a lot of the Talking Heads music. My favorite song of theirs is "Memories Can't Wait" from the album Fear of Music. It paints a story that i can relate to having laid in bed with with memories stopping me from sleep. It also, to me, encapsulates what one of the songs is with the end having a great Byrne vocal

Great video brother! We want more!

one of the best music icebergs! thank you for making this video, loved it

Wonderful timeline/history of Talking Heads....THANK YOU for all your time/energy that was put into this!!

No talking, just head 💀

And now we have a 40th anniversary re-release of Stop Making Sense. (Nov '23))

Very nice! I'm glad I was able to help :)

Outstanding shipmate. Press on. USS Kitty Hawk CV-63. Jan 1980 to July 1983. Music fan for life.

Really great video! I am pretty new to the Talking Heads, and this iceberg really piqued my interest in the band. Great quality also, up there with a lot of the more well-known iceberg RU-vidrs.

Alex Weir - best Once in a lifetime guitar take ever

Great work. Thank you for the video!

Love this video! Talking Heads are my favourite band, too! Make more!!

i thought that an talking heads creepypasta would be an good idea. so here is my attempt. it was an saturday night in 1980. the heads were at their studio. ΄΄after all this remain in light thing going on, why don΄t we decide to probably try to perform it next week?΄΄ chris asks while wearing a smile. In confusion, the rest of the band looks at him. ΄΄we were going to do that anyways.΄΄ David says, trying to correct him. Chris gasps and David rolls his eyes in annoyance. ΄΄then, should we practice?΄΄ Chris says with an bit lower toned voice due to embarassment. the 2 band members, Tina and David, looked at him the same, but confusion build up. Jerrys eyes widen, as he tries to calm down. ΄΄didn΄t we....?΄΄ Jerry says in concern. Chriss eyes start to get droopy and close. ΄΄i forgot about that....΄΄ chris says, an bit shy. Tina gets closer to him, as his blush is shown a soft shade of pink. ΄΄what i found concerning is that you forget alot nowadays.΄΄ Tinas eyes meet his, as she starts to feel gis mouth aches, and Tina immediately noticed. ΄΄how do i explain this feeling?΄΄ chris says, thinking as much as possible. Tina caresses his hand with her thumb, smiling, and waiting. the other 2 boys wait in constant confusion and unimeganible impatience. ΄΄it΄s okay, you can explain it. we΄re here for you anyways.΄΄ slowly patting his head, tina grins a pretty smile, as the other twos only feelings had been mixed with the confusion and impatience, bringing a pain to their minds as theyre forced to watch Chris lose it, and Tina not understanding how insane he is. ΄΄forgetting things like this is one thing. makes me feel.... uncomfortable. even worse is that i feel like my mind is being replaced with other knowledge. it΄s an terrible yet euphoric feeling.΄΄ Tinas eyes widened, and Jerry could feel a single tear slip out of his eye from the pain, his fingers starting to divorce, it felt more painful, like blood ran down on them, when his skin was there. And David started trembling, his hands mimicking a soft rain, as his trembling builds up in an awful rush. they started to feel suffering pain, as they wanted it to stop. They begged a soft manifestation for all this to stop in their heads, but that didnt stop. their veins were given strength, adding an huge part in this suffering that felt eternal. ΄΄chris, how do you feel right now?΄΄ Jerry asks, voice choking painfully, each word a voice crack snapped. Chris looked horrifyingly at him, as Jerry places his hands infront of his face as a shield, as it rained sweat down his hands. ΄΄good question! the euphoria is slowly lowering, and it gets even more terrible, i can΄t focus on anything!΄΄ Chriss words were echoed across David and Jerrys ears, it was as if Chris was doing something, Chris glanced at the 2 boys as they suffered in eternal pain, as he smiled proudly, to something horrible. ΄΄David? Jerry? what happened?΄΄ Tina asked, confused, as Chris admired her being clueless. the 2 boys stared at her, no moving, but just standing still, as Jerry began crying, and falling into his knees. ΄΄GOD! save us... save us all....΄΄ he started praying, feeling a burning supremacy for God in that moment. Chris smiled like a psychopath, but Tina didnt notice, she was concerned for David, standing still. Jerry had fainted, slowly, but surely. Tina notices him immediately.

these talking heads pastiches used as the backing tracks of the video are dope

So -now wanna see that Sean Penn looking like Robwrt Smith movie now around 3:00..n uhh the Police cut Their US Teeth at CBGS too..so many bands -VU, Sonic Youth, etc...cool to hear abt the live disatsers

Thanks for publishing this ! I shared on my Talking Heads - fear of music Facebook group ! Join !

They are my favorite and I also grew up with them. Great video. New stuff for me to check out. Will be forever bummed they broke up. Wish they could have been like the Stones!!!

this video was awesome!!!

Love it, see u from 🇨🇴

Great video. Love Talking Heads.

adding everything in this video to the list of random shit I tell my friends about talking heads

Killer video this is really interesting. Also Talking Heads is also one of my favorite bands ever and this getting on my recommended page is very coll so thank you I appreciate this video very well executed.

Great video!!

Good video but chimps aren't monkeys, they're apes.

3:39 Technically, you can also do that with True Stories

Nice, informative video!! But, it is marred somewhat by your inconsistent reference to the band, incorrectly, as The Talking Heads. To quote the title of one of their live albums, "The Name of this Band is Talking Heads"; not *the* Talking Heads.

Legendary band, grew up with their music :)

Yeah, well… DB sued The Heads (rest 3) in 1996 or 1997. They settled out of court and he took over management of the TH material and royalties cash cow. How can you miss that, while at the same time in the video you are creating conspiracy theories?

great video

Bernie also played with Buckethead :)

The few shots of David with sideburns had him looking like Morrissey. Had me 😅

7:55 That was a reunion tour- Talking Heads first ever show at CBGB in 1976 was opening for The Ramones.

Omg casi no hay videos sobre Talking Heads ❤️ saludos desde México

Ice relation to talking heads=Cool

nice

Oh shit, not just a gaming channel 👀

In the copy of "Remain in Love" that I have, there's no direct mention of David shitting on the hotel bed. It just coyly refers to a "rumor." I wonder if later editions required an edit for legal purposes?

Too much 🔥 fire for the icebeg

I heard of a van.

Where can I find the versions of the songs played in the background of this video? Thanks

I just came across this video and I was wondering if you had any information about the person on the inner sleeve of Fear of Music? It’s an image that’s been stuck in my memory for the longest time. Great video otherwise!

Uhh, the 77 album cover is gas. Minimalism at its best. MSABAF’s album cover is cool and all, but its not better than 77’s.

Oh lol you didn't include the fact that Byrne is in this really REALLY weird parody cult with Mark Mothersbrough and Frank Zappa called 'Church of Subgenius' that worships a guy called Bob and believe they are descended from Yetis or something 🤪

where’d you find the info about the 1979 boston show disaster? i cant find any info about it anywhere else and i am very curious about it. ty

Mossad they are mossad

No idea why pundits like you refer to TH as post punk or new wave. They were playing exactly the same style of music in 1975 before the whole punk thing was even engineered.

the story i heard was David and a lady friend stayed in an hotel and he was soooo off his face that in the morning she awoke to see David taking a crap above her head. She dodged the turd.

Anything to the story I heard about when Busta Jones was brought into the band for Remain in Light that David forced Tina to "re"audition with the band to keep her spot as the bassist? Given the later legacy of the Tom Tom Club, you sure can't make the case that Tina wasn't "funky enough" for the band!!!

Why are you referring to Talking Heads as "The" Talking Heads when you correctly stated David named the band "Talking Heads". I'm just off to watch an upload of The Public Enemy now.

I don't think the B-52s rose to fame from CBGB's, it's not their club. Still, it's a video about Talking Heads so I'll let it slide

Black face is neither insult, nor crime you have to apologize for. Big mistake to be sorry about that. What's next? Judging people who wear wigs of different colour than their own?
