Listened to this again the other day, and the lines “Shouting at the world you’ll never change, but it’s what’s inside you’ve got to rearrange” really hit me like a mallet to the heart. Wow…
+RACING CORAZON I can't exactly remember but I met the UK Subs at the time and they told me Therapy had apologised for nicking a riff. I think it might be Tomorrow's Girls or Stranglehold, check the songs out when you get time.
I saw these guys in Galway last night . They fucking rock . Even after all this time they love what they do and that transfers to the crowd who absolutely loved them . Here’s to another 29 yrs
Saw them in '93 and me and my friend were talking to Andy Cairns before their set. ;) He was wandering around the crowd and was very chatty and nice. Does that still happen? Band members chilling out with a beer in the crowd? Good old times. ;)
I always wondered was The band filmed in front of NYC landmark pics,and the girl walking around 90s era NYC (very different now) killer vid when I first saw it I was like "she's by Playland arcade in one shot!!!" Ha I miss all that
I go back to this video over the years. It's the funniest fucking music video I've ever seen. The video is worlds apart from the lyrics. I love the kaleidoscope effect. I love the weird zoom effect. I love how the dude just stands behind the guitarist as he's trying to play. I love his serious and goofy facial expressions thrown in together. I love how he changes his hair every two seconds to look like two different people. This is the purest gold I've ever mined.
Never knew about the video? MTV Europe used to play the shit out of it during the day back in 94... Which is weird considering even back then all they ever did was play pop, rap, hip hop and r&b garbage.
This song and Evil Elvis are my favorite Therapy? tunes. I love how this song STILL feels fresh to this day, and is very much relevant now as it was back when it was written.
Saw them live at Reading in 1994 - seen other greater bands like Hendrix, The Doors and Pumpkins and I can quite honestly say they were better live than recorded. How a 3 piece could get so much sound! Epic set.
WOW! Thirteen again! I still have the vinyl of this that I got when I was 13. Local record shop in rural Georgia had this awesome guy that would hook me up with all the new punk, hardcore and metal albums. I was all about Therapy?, Pantera, Sepultura, Black Flag, Agnostic Front, Social Distortion..... God I would love for music to be that good again and for bands to have rawer sounds on albums. I never grew out of vinyl either. I was too poor for tapes and cds. Now I am too poor for vinyl. How the times have changed. lol
Saw them performing in La Laiterie in Strasbourg back in 1995 or 1996... one of the best concerts I've ever seen. We didn't have much room, neither the band nor the audience, but the chemistry between the artists and the rest of us was just perfect - either that or my memory paints it all pink and cozy :}
The first concert I ever went to was Therapy? at the Olympia in Dublin, maybe in 98 or 97. Andy told a great joke about being from "Balla-mena-hey" which if your Irish you will get, remember those ads for the shopping centre in Ballymena? :)
