“Nick Lowe is our hero” - Jeff Tweedy. And he should be yours too; he certainly is mine! Too bad about Rockpile, great talents in there but I’m more than satisfied, delighted by Nick Lowe’s incredible career output. See the album “Quiet Please”, that’s everything you need to LOWE. One of the most unsung singer songwriter musicians of our on times. Didn’t get the respect he was owed on top 40 or classic rock radio, too bad so many people missed out on that body of work because radio radio radio.
@@mbogucci1 Riiiight. Their principal songwriter Mr Lowe - along with Jake Riviera, Dave Robinson and Lee Brilleaux - merely FOUNDED IT. And - along with Dave Edmunds and drummer Terry Williams (as members of Last Chicken in the Shop ) launched the '5 Live Stiffs' tour to promote the label in 1977. Gee- what was I THINKING???! Holy cow - just stop. I was THERE in the audience, perfesser. As well as being in attendance at E.C.'s storied June 1978 gig at Hollywood High. Find yourself another hobby, FFS. This one is clearly leaving you with too much time on your hands.
@@mbogucci1 That's your own arbitrary fetishism that you're applying to Mr. Bremner - all so that you can make your petulant claim. The band that became known as Rockpile on their one and only recording existed before they had ever conjured a name for themselves publicly and you wouldn't have known any better WHO the cast members were until some publicist TOLD you that drummer's name. No qualification of my great respect for Mr. Bremner's work intended here.
Rockpile was, and is, Exellent music! In all it's incarnations! Love Billy Bremmer, he's been called their "Secret' weapon.....Terry Williams...."more solid' than a pile of rocks....hahaha's
Loved this album and saw them at the time of release at the Roseland Ballroom on W 52nd - wasn't billed as a Rockpile gig, it was Edmunds's (or was it Lowe's?), but they did a lot of this album, and most of the band was onstage.
A lot of Dave Edmunds and Nick Lowes work in the 1970s could be classified as Rockpile tunes, they worked together in that time but for separate labels... Rockpile marked the era that they could work publicly as a team... Billy Brimmer... what a treasure, another unsung guitar hero, I long ago named Dave Edmunds, Eric Clapton, and Jeff Beck as honorary Americans...because they just don't seem British enough.😂
Basically 3 Dave Edmonds albums and one Nick lowe album are stockpile albums. All the band members played on them they were just released as solo albums.
Did not know that. Weird because I was going to listen to "Tom Tom" by The Creation after this. I guess they liked song titles that have 2 words that start with the letter T.
One of those bands where it seems that the members (on an individual basis) had more success and popularity than the band itself. Still a great, catchy tune.
acbulgin2...Thx very much for the info. It seems rare in music nowadays that an arrangement such as that would work. Glad to see they were able to do that...unlike in this this era, where sampling, copyright infringement, and other litigious situations are quite rampant.
acbulgin2 True, good points. Even in Dave Edmunds-only hits (ex Slipping Away...very underrated tune, Girls Talk),, the group as a whole were in his videos.For me personally, it got somewhat confusing telling them apart. The Rockpile ‘sound’ was so prevalent in Nick and Dave’s solo hits. No matter how we look at it...still great music that withstood the test of time (IMO).
I've never seen such a bad video for such a good song. This was pre MTV days but even if it wasn't the quality wouldn't have been good enough for on air. Don't get me wrong I love Nick and bros but the lips don't even match what they're singing
Beautiful guitar work Dave Edmunds and Billy Bremner
One of the great albums - truly a classic. It never ages.
One of the GREAT albums !!!!
Love it i haven’t heard it since I was a child! Loved it then love it now ❤️
What a GREAT BAND !!!!!!
I have this single. Played it daily....Teacher Crush....He's passed on now but never forgotten...R.I.P J.U..🕶💜🦅
Love the vocal harmonies, love the guitar refrains. Favorite songs. Green Day should cover this.

Saw him fronting for Elvis Costello, summer of 2022, in an open air arena for maybe 1,500 people. What a great night.
Peaked at No. 51 on the Billboard Hot 100 in early 1981. A very great power pop/ pop rock tune.
Rockabilly, my dear . . .
At #51 is an insult, this along with almost everything they did is a# 1❤
@@hollynorris957 Agree!
Rockpile. One of the greatest middle fingers to the record company establishment
If it ain’t Stiff….

Never saw this clip till now, and I've long loved the group...many thanks
This is at the start of bad teacher with Cameron Diaz.. such a catchy song 🎵 really sticks with ya
love spreads out of this song as no other since long - tears...
My all time favorite by Nick Lowe!
Me loves! Dave Edmonds and Rockpile!
Seconds Of Pleasure is one of the greatest albums ever recorded
Great song.
I can't love this enough.
A superb album! Seconds of Pleasure!

❤the best song ❤❤
Great song! Really swinging! In my opinion a number one record!
rock n roll meets avant garde anti cinema! Brilliant!

Rockpile Rocks!
The Little riff at 45 to 46 seconds. Love that
Great camera work on this video 😅
Thank you cameron diaz & jason segel...
Written by"the Creation" guitarrist Eddie Philips and MKII singer Kenny Picket
Alternative rock started here.
Love the song- confused by this video
i think they cropped it like crazy due to international copywrite
Great !
The song is great but that brief instrumental bridge pushes it over the top
pop perfection
Just found out this was written by Eddie Phillips and Kenny Pickett from the 1960s band The Creation.
Did not know that. Weird because I was going to listen to "Tom Tom" by The Creation after this. I guess they liked song titles that have 2 words that start with the letter T.
sure ? that version of 60's "The Creation" is unfindable
@@kosovoblues7084 I believe it was written long after The Creation broke up. I should have written 'formerly of'.

why is the video out of sync and cropped?
SuperGroup! The Best
Excellent
Excelent
There used to be a real good version of this video on TH-cam, and then it disappeared. What happened? This is horrible.
NL went grey round about age 12

51 so it didn't beat out Eddy Rabbits "i love a rainy night"?
I just don't understand why there's not a normal upload of this video without all the strange cropping.
Try this th-cam.com/video/n9_9k8-W1Po/w-d-xo.html
It seems to be a way to avoid copyright infringement violations… I think
Was this filmed at the Tropicana Hotel too?
I’m guessing they didn’t spend a lot of cash on this one.
I think that's the point. I don't think Nick liked the lip sync thing. They truly didn't give a

Nick Lowe/Dave Edmunds/Terry Williams.....mic drop

Early Eighties English Rock a Billy
What was the production cost hundred pounds sterling they fire the editor after this

... i think the video was cropped by the uploader. probably to avoid copywrite claims.
I was a big Nick Lowe fan. What happened? Did he grow content and stop making music?
he is active and touring. just type his name into the search bar and voila!
TERRible camerawork! What the hell happened during this vid?
PLEASE…. Stop uploading videos cropped to widescreen!! It ruins it! Terrible.
Lost classic
too bad the vid is horribly out of synch.
No it isn’t.
@@heatherlindquist1899 Ah, so you haven't watched it. Noted. This is a horrible video. I am sure there is a cleaner one out there somewhere.
Great song. Terrible video
