Suede is like a precious jewel that reminds me of the most beautiful time in my life, just being a naive student in the north of Chile, listening their music sitting in the desert.
Hugh McDowall not really. Every single photo taken recently has no soul...but every photo back then did. It’s literally makes no sense cause wtf does soul mean. The comments just pretentious
Marcus Rotkirch photos are a way of saving and sharing memories. If someone takes a photo cause they want to, there’s a reason and soul behind it. No one gives a fuck bout your pretentious Gibbagabba. Just have enjoy life my guy
Bernard took a dislike to Justine after she left the band, I remember her saying in an interview in the 1990's that "Bernard and I always got on, now he hates my guts and I don't know why. He even crossed the street once in London to get away from me when he saw me coming". After Justine got with Damon there was major dislike between Suede and Blur, both regularly slagged each other off in the press. Both bands were on the same bill once when they appeared at the Forum in Kentish Town one night - probably 1992 or 93. I doubt they communicated backstage. Blur's guitarist Graham Coxon said in the 1990's however that Bernard Butler "once sat on my doorstep begging me to have Suede come on tour with us". Graham saying there that Suede were happy to be Blur's support act. I thought this was odd of him to say because around 1993 Suede were much bigger than Blur - from the following year Blur were the bigger band, and Suede were sufficiently established that they wouldn't have wanted to be anyone's support act. He might have been referring to 1991 or 92 though. I met Justine, and Donna Matthews - Elastica's lead guitarist - once after a gig, they were both very friendly. I still have their autographs. Justine and Damon were a famous couple in a sense, but you almost never saw them together - Damon said once that only 3 or 4 public photos of them together actually exist. Elastica's other three members reconvened 4 years ago, here is the article: www.thetimes.co.uk/article/elasticas-reunion-lnrgd8fqz
I would have loved to have seen Brett at that same moment Justine first laid eyes on him. He must've looked so cool. It's nice that Brett and Justine were both important to each other in their formative years. Their experiences together informs some of their early music.
Haha. Takes me back thirty years, when I was in the morass of the London music scene of unknown, up-and-coming, never-were of the early1990s. In fact, I was gigging with a band at the time and we got a gig at the Half Moon in Putney. It was winter or 1991 and we were told it was a showcase for this new band called Suede. It promised to be full of A&R wankers so it was going to be “THE gig”. We were second from the bottom. When Suede came on, far from being packed with chequebook-waving music industry types, the place was EMPTY. Well, apart from the support acts band members and the bar staff. I remember us feeling quite sorry for Suede, who to their credit, put on a show for the 15 people or so standing in the pub. I remember quite clearly Bernard shaking his hair at the edge of the stage. And of course Justine with that shiny Rickenbacker, subdued at the back. Fast-forward a year and they (minus Justine) were on the infamous Melody Maker cover as “the best new band in Britain”. It was the start of Britpap (yes, BritpAp), that tsunami of shit that was really the beginning of the end of the English music scene of legend as we had known and loved. Well, mostly shit. Apart from Suede first album, Elastica of course, Blur and bits of Pulp. After that, the flatlined times that led to today, when music is just another harmless commodity snuck cosily between porn and video games, designed to kill the down time between shifts down the coal pit and most importantly, carrier of ads selling tat we never needed or wanted in the first place. Other times, kids, a lifetime ago.....
@@csmith1645 me too, bro, me too. These modern times, in fact, are so meaningless and sedated, they make the dreadful, pedestrian Britpop era look like Swinging London or Haight-Ashbury SanFran....it was downhill from 1993 onwards....thanks for the comment, btw....
@@csmith1645 sorry for the genre misunderstanding, haha, gal, your theory is quite correct. Which band was the last one to be generationally so important that bypassed the old equation “good music = zero sales”? Nirvana. After that, you got an increasingly depressing number of bands who, although they sold, ceased to matter or to represent anything except all-encompassing, soul-crushing dullness. I won’t mention any names because they are all like that. Why? I don’t quite know, but I can point the finger to: the fragmentation of the tribes and the discourse brought up by the internet, the rise of the New Right which made any rebellious statement susceptible to attacks instead of being automatically praised as before, and the emergence of a new generation, the Millennials (and now the Z-ers), raised on self-entitlement and addiction to social media, carriers of a sickness called Narcissism. But it is clear that the lack of talent and innovation in the music of the Western world is astounding. In fact, if you wanna find some brilliant stuff, you have to look to the Third World: Songhoy Blues, Tinariwen, Speed Caravan, Ifriqiyya Electrique, etc. They are burying the West and showing it up for the complacent hotbed of boredom that it is. Great music is still alive. Just not in the West....
I kind of a agree but to an extent. There are plenty of artists and bands who make great music today and it’s insulting to them with comments like this. All you have to do is listen to music other than the charts( kinda your fault for not discovering them) Apart fromthat, I agree, oasis, suede, blur, pulp and the verve were top for me
@@sophielou2929 you need to read my last reply to @soul trader. I state that there are plenty of great artists and music and bands. Shame you haven’t read it. Makes your comment redundant and obsolete
The 90s were an amazing blend of intersecting genres for me - grunge, shoegazing, britpop, dance crossover stuff. I think like Jazz peaked and became an obscure genre, the indie/guitar era is passing into the shadows. The commodity bit you speak of is painfully true, it has no value anymore.
@@purefoldnz3070 Apparently various members of Elastica between 1995-1999 either ended up on heroin, became an alcoholic or both. Btw - the song dedicated to their break-up is called "no distance left to run" - it's the last song on the album 13......and the last cassette tape I ever bought !
@@purefoldnz3070 Justine gets a mention in that MIA bio-pic from a few years back - I'm not sure how much influence she had.MIA & Justine living in the same house together - can you imagine the shouting matches?
So basically Justine had no effect nor impact on Suede as she didn't on her own band then? It's an open secret that many of Elasticas songs were ghost written by her other boyfriend which may account for the rapid decline of the band after Damon and her split up.
yea but also they lost their guitarist who was a big part of those songs. I dont think he wrote them for the band. maybe a bit here and there but I think the bands decline was due to drugs and matthews leaving
@@Captain_Rhodes Louise Wener from Sleeper recalls that when they supported Blur on their spring 1994 tour Damon sound-checked singing "Elastica" songs - coincidence?
@@kommissar.murphy their second album was completely atrocious - their record label must have just hoped that their fan-base would just buy anything on the back of their half-decent debut album which it turned out they didn't !

So nice to see Justine looking so healthy, really enjoyed watching this…. thank you.
healthy, uh, yeah, that's one way to put it
My favourite band since my teenage years. If Corona allows it, I'll see them in April this year!

I've been waiting forever to see this! Much love from TX!!!
Now! This is a real band for sure, Loved them since the outset and am still.
Suede's story is much movie-worthy. What a journey!
Saw Suede at V99 and they were incredible. It was a superset with no unknown tracks. 90s perfection for me. And Supergrass were there, too!
Wow, what great footage to see.
Funny to see her play a Rickenbacker! I wonder if she still owns the black Telecaster she used with Elastica
Love you Justine

So do I
olá Justine , espero que esteja bem no meio dessa terrível quarentena. Abraços e força de seu fã.
Loves suede
Justine...I love you
didnt know that Mike Joyce once drummed for suede
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Can someone tell me the song at 4 : 30 please? At the Falcon in 1991

Thanks!
Justine inspired Suede and M.I.A also many songs for Blur.
@Purefoldnz - any evidence for the influence on either?
@@revol148 yes from MIA herself lol. She made a documentary about her life
@@revol148 oh the Blur song was just about their breakup and her problems with drugs. Damon has gone on record for that. Its called Tender

Douche bag...
When is this coming out?
This documentary is available on DVD, it was released in 2018
