very sad to confirm the news about Chris Bailey dying on the weekend. Chris and I met when we were about 14 during detention at Oxley High School and became close friends which later developed into what I always thought was an extremely strong artistic partnership, I couldn't have hoped for a better singer. My deepest condolences to his wife Elisabet, his sisters Margaret, Carol and Maureen and the rest of his family and loved ones. I'll post something longer down the track but for now..
These days bad news are repeating from France... Since 40 years The Saints was a lihgthouse in our (my) lifeline. Courage To Chris family, Ed and all friends. I'm stranded...
I saw The Saints 29th October 1977 in Aberdeen, Scotland. I was 16. Had to lie about my age to get in to the gig. They blew me away. Support band was The Adverts. The Saints blew them away too. I joined my first band after seeing them. I'm 61 now and (I'm) Stranded and Eternally Yours remain classic albums for me. RIP Chris Bailey.

Vale Chris Bailey When I say that Chris Bailey is one of the most important people in our Australian Music History, that is a massive understatement.

Listening to Sydney's JJ 1540am radio ( thanks to the Gough Whitlam government ) I heard (I'm ) Stranded by THE SAINTS. IT STILL RANKS AS ONE OF THE BEST SOUNDS I'VE EVER HEARD IN MY 61 YEARS ON THE PLANET. Chris Bailey was extremely intelligent with an acidic wit, not many, if any, could match him.

I was 15 and boarding at an English vegetarian progressive private school in 1976. There are few songs that are so memorable that you remember precisely where you were and what you were doing when you first heard them. (I'm) Stranded, is one of those rare milestones in my life. Forty-six years later and the joy at hearing this song remains undiminished. RIP Chris Bailey.
So long ago 'twas in B&W on Australian, Brisbane TV in '76. So good so raw ... they were 'stranded' in Bris and couldn't wait to get out and explore the world - at least the UK anyways. We are indebted to Ed and Chris and all The Saints stood for.
I grew up and live near the train station that they wrote this song at. It was a nowhere place back then. To do this on their own back then is incredible.
Yes. Just like Ron Mael from Sparks. Check out their Top of the Pops performance of “This Town Ain’t Big Enough For Both Of Us”. The only parts of him that moved were his eyeballs and fingers.
The Saints, The original good wild rock, recognized for its true value unfortunately too late. The magic of their sound and the union of these talents fortunately exists beyond contracts
So very sad to hear of his passing. The Saints were punk rock 101 to me and his voice was often in my head. You gave us all a gift of some of the best punk rock vocals ever.
First heard this song on Simon Townsend’s Wonder World around in 1977 I think and it was an awakening for me to a new brilliant energetic style of music
Ed Kuepper, you were a big influence on my guitar playing when I was a teenager learning the guitar back in the late 70s. I still use some of your techniques in my own stuff cos they are ingrained in my psyche. If I ever make my fortune with my music I'll pass on some of my royalties. 😉🤣🤣
I'm Stranded & Eternally Yours, Two Iconic Albums. They don't get the recognition they deserve. Every band I've ever been in has covered some of your songs since the late 70's. The 1st song I learned of yours was Run Down & the list grew from there. Thank you for the tunes!
Watching Return of the Saint last night, there's two clips in the Marquee, London. I had totally forgotten about the Saints. Shame on me! This is a killer track. I forgot to mention; in the Credits at the end it's - The Saints Punk Rock Group.

Another Brisbane legend. The Saints werre"punk" as ,and, Aussie ,maybe many influences but not a copy. Very sad for all who connected with Chris. He was a nice guy no pretence. I mourn the loss.
RIP Chris Bailey. The chemistry between he and Ed on their first 2 albums was rarely equalled. But I have to ask, why is Kym playing the bass left handed?
Loved them but they got a bad time from us when I saw them twice in pommy land . Once at the Croydon Greyhound , once at Hammersmith Odeon. We couldn’t get past the hair and stance. I know better now.
When I first heard that riff and Chris coming in with a that awesome and distinctive voice it blew ma mind and still does every single time I hear it. Punk Rock at its Most Rawest and best. R.I.P Chris Bailey.
Why didn't hear about these guys when they came out? My 16 year old son just turned me onto the guys. Thought he was playing some music by a group heavily inspired by the Sex Pistols and the Ramones. Boy, did I have that wrong!
sometime they'll give a war and nobody will come, because everyone likes to listen to music and love peace and animals. Mother's Friendship 5 X 5 Mother's Friendship 5 5 5 5 5 Fran Records Costa Rica, USA, Paraguay, Philippines, Spain and Germany.
Hi Ed, I'd never seen this video before.. looking at what you where playing in the video really made me laugh! I wonder what song it was you where playing, because it sure as hell wasn't stranded was it? 😂
Hi Ed, our band is going to pay Chris a tribute on our next gig playing I'm Stranded. But we are having an arguee in the band in what are the starting chord? A or H? Thanx in advance =)

Eternally Yours is a MASTERPIECE
Good onya
*The Saints were a proper, decent and authentic set of musicians. Kuepper is especially serious where music's concerned*
One of the greatest bands in the history of the universe!
Great song, underrated band.
on the time line of punk I dont feel like The Saints get the credit they deserve. Great song
Probably because they hated being associated with punk
@@angrypossumsx1259 you've got a point. I guess I mean the press chucking people in to a category. cheers

a tip: watch movies at flixzone. I've been using it for watching lots of of movies lately.
First "punk" song I ever heard - literally life -changing!
Vale Chris Bailey
When I say that Chris Bailey is one of the most important people in our Australian Music History, that is a massive understatement.
Today's news of his passing is like losing a family member.
I'm shattered and devastated.
Chris came into my life in 1976, when I was supposed to be doing school homework.
Listening to Sydney's JJ 1540am radio ( thanks to the Gough Whitlam government ) I heard (I'm ) Stranded by THE SAINTS.
IT STILL RANKS AS ONE OF THE BEST SOUNDS I'VE EVER HEARD IN MY 61 YEARS ON THE PLANET.
Chris Bailey was extremely intelligent with an acidic wit, not many, if any, could match him.
From reports I've heard, Chris was kind, warm, sincere and generous.
A beautiful spirit gone way too young.
I think he had a great time whilst he was here on Earth.
Not many people can do what he did.
He was a Punk Pioneer without even trying or even knowing that's what he was doing.
Condolences to his family, friends, all his bandmates and his legions of fans and supporters.
What an exciting, dynamic performance.
Chris Bailey was so bright and articulate and his lyrics reflected that. The first three Saints albums are bonafide classics.
Absolutely! It wasn't the same after Ed Kuepper left.
I was 15 and boarding at an English vegetarian progressive private school in 1976. There are few songs that are so memorable that you remember precisely where you were and what you were doing when you first heard them. (I'm) Stranded, is one of those rare milestones in my life. Forty-six years later and the joy at hearing this song remains undiminished. RIP Chris Bailey.
Aren't all Brits vegetarian?
Как же этот всплеск чистой молодежной энергии пришёлся вовремя и к месту!!! Австралийские панки не были отстающими!!!
So long ago 'twas in B&W on Australian, Brisbane TV in '76. So good so raw ... they were 'stranded' in Bris and couldn't wait to get out and explore the world - at least the UK anyways. We are indebted to Ed and Chris and all The Saints stood for.
Australian TV still had full color but this footage was in black and white for some reason.
One of the greatest rock n roll songs EVER.
You have influenced our band.
Grew up on your songs.
Thank you! Greetings from Russia
I grew up and live near the train station that they wrote this song at. It was a nowhere place back then. To do this on their own back then is incredible.
Man that bass player on the left is awesome. He just stands there while his hand does all the work !
Yes. Just like Ron Mael from Sparks. Check out their Top of the Pops performance of “This Town Ain’t Big Enough For Both Of Us”. The only parts of him that moved were his eyeballs and fingers.
RIP to the great Chris Bailey. Your work was a blessing.
... gotta be one of my fav' all time songs. Love this original vid'.
This band’s got attitude. ✊🏼🎸
The Saints, The original good wild rock, recognized for its true value unfortunately too late.
The magic of their sound and the union of these talents fortunately exists beyond contracts
Perfect in every way.
So very sad to hear of his passing. The Saints were punk rock 101 to me and his voice was often in my head. You gave us all a gift of some of the best punk rock vocals ever.
You chose a very appropriate band name. National hotel + livid & university gigs. Fondest years of my life 🎼
First heard this song on Simon Townsend’s Wonder World around in 1977 I think and it was an awakening for me to a new brilliant energetic style of music
BEST BAND EVER
Love this song! I was about 8 when it came out and saw you Ed at a pub on Parramatta Rd Sydney in the early 90s I think 🤔 great!
I saw these at the Marquee with my brother. Great group.
Ed Kuepper, you were a big influence on my guitar playing when I was a teenager learning the guitar back in the late 70s. I still use some of your techniques in my own stuff cos they are ingrained in my psyche. If I ever make my fortune with my music I'll pass on some of my royalties. 😉🤣🤣
Thanks for sharing man. Sorry for our loss. In the next one man
Nice drumming, Ivor the Drivor!! ❤
So Good
Before the Sex Pistols, before the Stranglers, there was the Saints.
Exactly.
True? Stooges too
Yeah mate one of my first 10 records ☠️💣☠️
And Ramones.
Golden Brown
Brilliant!
Saints for life!
I bought The Saints debut album a few decades ago and it is one of my all time favorite albums. R.I.P Mr. Bailey.

Stranded on a toilet bowl; stranded without a roll; stranded all alone; stranded on your own!
Encantador
Was this before their iconic clip filmed at an old disused flat at Paddington just next to Lang Park?
Yes.
The mid to the late seventies in Queensland Australia? RIP Chris Bailey.
RIP Chris Bailey. The chemistry between he and Ed on their first 2 albums was rarely equalled. But I have to ask, why is Kym playing the bass left handed?
This song next to Violent Soho's "In The Aisle" are hallmarks of Brispunk. They'll never date! :-)
Both very underrated bands. Along with Brisbane's 60's band, the Purple Hearts
Did this version ever air on Sounds Unlimited or Flashez at some point?
RIP, Chris. *sigh*
The Chats and The Saints Concert....
still got a cigarette in his left hand, Just like know your product, Hey ed kuepper

Still one of the greatest punk songs ever. And from my home town. But what chords do you use ed? I can't find them... any help?

Aussie heroes makin it look easy
I’m here in 2024 😅
😍
Wonder what the bass player was actually playing at that moment
Who's the left handed bass player ? I know that Kim Bradshaw and Algy Ward were right handed
wow 1976... I guess the only ones they could have been inspired by were the stooges??
Guitarist reminds me of Keith Levene.
This could easily be any early version of The Hives or The Strokes.
Both those bands sound nothing like these guys. Stop comparing them to garbage bands 😂
Which one is Sid Vicious?
Punk rock is rarer than you think and The Saints were 24ct gold. Under rated for sure but then there’s a lot of wankers out there.
The Saints INVENTED "Punk"!
It wasn't a matter of who got there first, because it just happened all around the world at the same time without interaction
Very similar to 69/70 Iggy Pop.
Come on.
the band the strokes ripped off
continuate così
There is no band they can follow this video. There’s no long-haired rock ‘n’ roll bullshit. These are musicians. 3:34 3:34 3:34
