I was at their first gig in Liverpool in the 80s. It was at the Flying Picket, there were 7 people in the audience. They put on an incredible show. It was self evident that they were going to be massive commercially and culturally. Sean William Ryder the bastard son of John Lennon.
What an underrated band. They should have just hammered out gigs in Detroit, Chicago and Florida. I reckon those crowds would have taken to it a bit more. The whole dance scene owes everything to these lads. Anyone else remember all those 12" remixes DJ's would play before "Rave" or "Techno" existed as a concept. When "Techno" basically meant 'Kraftwerk'! New Order, 808State and Altern8 where the only other bands actually writing original material for the Dance people to reproduce and mix into their live sets, for a while at least. Amazing!! Then that "Radio Friendly" music came out where they got female models to mime for MTV vidz, Wow. It went down hill so quick, illegal raves, warehouse parties and island festivals kept it all a float but, for most, who were introduced to music through mainstream radio, it was stuff like '2 Unlimited' - "...No! No! there's no Limit". Oh dear, Christ on a Bike Meash! LOL az Fek!
around same time 808 state & guy called gerald were going in manc, unique 3 were going in dirty bradders, ital rockers, nightmares on wax and LFO were going in that Leeds and forgemasters and sweet exorcist were going in sheff
i just watched the 24 Hour Party People movie. I thought they were exaggerating with the Happy Mondays bits but oh boy they weren't. This is madness. They seem to be doing drugs onstage, the singer is reading the lyrics on a sheet of paper, everything is un-cordinated, there's a dude with maracas tripping the fuck out, they brought in an elder guest singer and they just left him there walking in circles 30 minutes after they finished their song together.
Karl Denver was definitely aware of the vibe haha he'd been around the block man by then. MDMA makes people just vibe out and in my opinion its a mix of being high as fuck on multiple drugs (band and crowd both) and just not caring that led them to their height... alll the way to their infamous Barbados ending lol But the movie was mad exagerrated man, Shaun only read off the paper for Step On because A. It was brand new at the time, and B. It was a cover song lol i mean yeah sure he's on heroin but still
@@CroTube5000 looks like that's what he's taken and that's the one they were known for .... apart from Shaun who did them as a starter then went a bit harder for his main course..
Me too. I was on the train escaping from my library job in Manchester. Because I was not feeling too well. Guess who was in the same carriage? Bez, eating KFC. Just me and him. He went "alright" and put a thumbs up. I just went, hiya Bez. Lol. I half expected him to freaky dance up the aisle. Lol.
I am falling in love with this band 30 years on... I was born in the states in 1991, so I had no idea they existed. Shaun would have been fun to hang with!
I was there. It was wonderfully chaotic. It seems different looking back at it. I have a photo of me and my friend sat on the steps of the The Hacienda afterwards, first in line. Taken on a disposable camera, no phones. Lol. The shutter was still down. Thanks for posting.
I saw the movie version of 24 hour party people and it blew my mind. I'm from memphis, and this music wasn't nearly as popular here, so it really snuck up on me. Ya'll were aggressively challenging genre and format, more worried about conveying feeling than anything else. Got linked to the new Shaun Ryder Mumbo Jumbo video and have been falling down the rabbit hole ever since.
@@basedsouljah well, considering I was only 14 at the time,but I've gone on to see a couple more don't worry!!!,,,😎👍😁,and headline the hacienda with my own band in 97,,so I'm a little bit interesting!!
It could be lingering stage fright, or nerves, or the imminent fear of the plebs throwing and hurling bottle at his throat and head, which could, indirectly affect his ability to recall often improvised, unpolished and maybe unrehearsed lyrics, on the spot, while keeping time with the various sound streams emanating from the keyboards and rhythm section.
Me and my mate Spike went to this concert on the Saturday night the 24th march they played 2 nights at the g-mex, as I recall the line-up was A Guy called Gerald then 808State ( who were awesome) followed by the Mondays , I was only 22 fuck me wheres the last 30 years gone lol.....
I know so little about the Mondays but everytime I hear them it stops me in my tracks. It's almost incomprehensible to fathom how innovative the Mondays were. Paul Ryder and Gary Whelan ♥were amazing I think a big part of the reason they aren't held in higher regard is they got back together to early. If they held off another 10-15 years and let their stock rise like Blur and the Roses did, they could have sold out arenas and headlined festivals.
its as shame theyre mostly known for being off their heads on e, every member of the band was incredibly good and the first two albums shouldnt be overlooked
Pills, Thrills and Bellyaches was a CD that I constantly rocked in 1990 and 91. It twisted my melon, for sure… well, it wasn’t just that album that twisted my melon. 😏
I was there and they were an hour late and donavon who was on before them was getting cans, rubbish chocolate and crisps thrown at him. I felt a bit sorry for the guy, I think he was Shauns father in law. .😂
The idea of having a dude like Bez is damn creative, don't know if the most creative idea I've ever seen, but it's damn creative I gotta say. Also shows Shaun & Bez being great pals, no man left behind.
Not that new at all , hawkwind had Stacia , and yeah cressa was a vibe man for the roses , kiss had one who used to introduce them as the greatest band in the world , it’s all part of 😂the act
100% right mate. Tony Wilson could see that though. He said the Mondays rhythm section was one of the most important things to ever happen in music history (or something along those lines)
And this was mostly pre-Thrills, Pills, and Bellyaches, the greatest album to date, the genre, if you get it. They're groove like no other, will be studied for the unforeseeable future. If only they'd kept it going a little longer.. Rowetta, with lungs like a megalodon, albeit short backings, was the first women to make the finals on X Factor in 2004.
hahaha i just had a thought that maybe i was so high on LSD at the time it sounded better. We watched it over and over one night and did a Bez and danced all night.

The modern music world needs more Shaun Ryders and less Ed Shearans
There is only 1 Shaun Ryder
They are both little goblin men from England whose music was inexplicably popular with normal people
@@robmanson6210 Not necessarily "woke", but it sure is plastic and there isn't a real guitar player among them. Its fucking grim.
ed sheeran is ok. he actually plays music. you shouldv said cardi b or tekashi69 instead.
What we REALLY need is more Bez.
Bez's cardiovascular fitness was unmatched.
Jakob Ingebritsen is a prick compare to him
Nah just off his nut on drugs 😂
He had some help though , we all did
I’m assuming Bez was the maracas dancing sensation
I would love it if he brought out a fitness video.
why nobody is saying something about the bass... that rhytmic section is tight
paul ryder under fucking rated man
I knew Paul Ryder was good, but fucking hell
Keeping it all together
Why is nobody saying anything about the bass, the guitars, the keyboards, the drumming, the lead vocals, Bez iconic dancing, the lightshow, why is nobody saying anything about the smoke machine?

I see loads of love for Paul Ryder’s bass playing - rightly so - but Mark Day is the most underrated guitarist ever. Unique.

Lmao I love all these bands 808 state etc but also No Limit. Eurodance is fun. I was born in 89 and it’s fun to go back and see what was popular.
Not underrated in the city of my mind I can assure you of that 🇬🇧✌️⭐️
best band ever, all bands late 80s were posh studenty types, then these lads came along that were like my mates and that

Outstanding gig. Had to look up who the dude in the Top Gun hat was - Scottish singer Karl Denver.
Look up Carl Denver Wimoweh, Shaun liked his yodling (source: the movie 24 hour party people)
Bez was so cool..ahead his time with his style
Just saw yesterday the Michael Winterbottom film "24 hour party people"... Incredible !!!
From the heart... it is art.
bez is awesome..
Only one of the best gigs ever to be put on film - My VHS tape was as wrecked as i was after a 100 plays
Same here. 15 yrs old, pals round - good times.

everyone was so high they didn't think that absolutely no one could hear bez's fkn shakers
Love the way Shaun has to read the lyrics off some scaby paper, I would probs have to do the same when I left my brain in the dressing room
to be fair to Shaun the band had just learned it the night or two before, and it was a cover.
It could be lingering stage fright, or nerves, or the imminent fear of the plebs throwing and hurling bottle at his throat and head, which could, indirectly affect his ability to recall often improvised, unpolished and maybe unrehearsed lyrics, on the spot, while keeping time with the various sound streams emanating from the keyboards and rhythm section.
