wait till your 60 and see if you sound like your 20 - hell no and you wont be rockin out with your band still , give the guys some respect and enjoy the moment....
Best ever fucking song in the history... Para cualquier exdrogadicto serio, esta canción es un reencuentro con la ceniza, la inyectadora, la línea, y todo el mundillo terrible y de baja tensión que implica la Droga... Hermoso!
I think life has taken its' toll on the poor guy. It's even one of the lyrics in the song "long journeys wear me out but I know I can't live with out it". Absolutely brilliant.
The original is one of my favourite songs of all time. When it came on while doing my maths homework, I would get up & dance around the room. Sadly this version is lifeless and just a pale shadow of the studio version.
Loved the Only Ones and top of my playlist regularly. Was keen to hear this but must say Peter Perrett is now the weakest link- was once the enigma that made them great. To the extent that Kellie and Mair in particular look positively pissed off at having to baby sit him through this song.
One of my favourite tunes. Is that actually the original singer then? Sounding and looking a bit like the offspring of Joe Pasquale and John Cooper Clarke.
Such a lot of shit thrown at them in the feed. These guys were shit hot in the day. Fucking incredible. Yeah they got old, at least they didn’t turn into boring old bastards and still got up and played
So, when you're in love but you know that you're too old to post the proper song from way back, because that would be to cliche, you can post this one. #livingmeme
In the begining of the 2000s i found the original version of this music, a complete fresh beautiful by them when they were young. Now it has been deleted. Its a shane original powerful versions are deleting while allowing performances by the authors as aged and old guys...why is that? Its NOTHING compared with the energy of them when they were young and witty...come on!
see i heard the blink 182 version first thinking it was there original song but when i heard this and it clicked i was like fuck cant believe i liked blinks version, the only ones damn its 10000000x better
+always 182 Sooo derivative...At the time this was so original and fresh and inspiring, elevating us from the drudge of disco pop and the tale end of glam. These new wave artists cut new ground.
I just adore the guitars in this song. Truelly a masterpiece!
yeah, not even just the solo, even his rhythm is amazing
It’s amazing Peter Perrett is still alive
One of the greatest rock songs of tne 70's (or more),but THE guitar solo that you always come back to.
One of the greatest intros in the history of rock and roll. But, yeah, his voice has left the building, too bad about it.
"I look ill, but I don't care about it." I'd say that's pretty accurate. Great song, though.
As well as "I can face your threats and stand up straight and tall and shout about it". He's still here, still rocking it.
wait till your 60 and see if you sound like your 20 - hell no and you wont be rockin out with your band still , give the guys some respect and enjoy the moment....
Exactlly
FUCK yeah
What an absolutely amazing song, and it's so awesome that they can still kill it after all these years.
A classic that will always stand the test of time. A zietgeist definer.
Too much emphasis on his personal habits when we should just be enjoying the greatest song ever written from the intro onwards is just heart-wrenching
Best ever fucking song in the history... Para cualquier exdrogadicto serio, esta canción es un reencuentro con la ceniza, la inyectadora, la línea, y todo el mundillo terrible y de baja tensión que implica la Droga... Hermoso!
Still note perfect and gear vocals nearly 40yrs after the original
I think life has taken its' toll on the poor guy. It's even one of the lyrics in the song "long journeys wear me out but I know I can't live with out it".
Absolutely brilliant.
classic song as it should be well done for giving us this all these years later
Wow, I just realized how "Heartland Rock" this song is.
Hard song to sing I suppose time has caught up but definitely worth a listen to original because it's a master piece 😎
The original is one of my favourite songs of all time. When it came on while doing my maths homework, I would get up & dance around the room. Sadly this version is lifeless and just a pale shadow of the studio version.
Mil gracias , por su musica , mis dolores desaparecen por arte de magia , cuantos recuerdos UFFFFFFFF, TANX.
I used to know them from the Hope and Anchor in islington. And then later in my naughty times.
You must stop being naughty.
Still a great song
On drums- Jimmy Page!
hahahha you stole my thought :P
Ran Perry John Cooper Clarke on vocals!
another Page another planet
I think the subject matter of the song has caught up with him.
The song is about a girl from Yugoslavia not drugs
@@jasoncorr4619 Are you suggesting that Pete Perrett was injecting Yugoslavian girls into his veins?!
@@heli-crewhgs5285 the 70’s were crazy man
@@jasoncorr4619 it’s clearly about heroin
One of the few singers whose voice actually seems to have gotten higher pitched with age.
Ric Ocasek is another example
What a song love it
"whose holding you down indeed" states John Peel after playing this one.
A most excellent tune 😊❤️☀️🎼🎶

Love This song!
Geweldig dat die nooit beroemd zijn geworden dat snapt niemand, Lovin It
Ook in de film Paul te horen.
look on the Gary Crowley 3cd punk album it's there along side a song i was involved with in 1979
nothing to do in a town like leatherhead
Superb
I wonder if the character ‘Gary Bloke’ from Private Eye magazine’s ‘Celeb’ cartoon strip, was based on Pete Perrett?
I don't mind the blink 182 version. But this is just verry musicly impressive.
Captain Porter check out the replacements version if you haven't heard it. Bob Stinson kicks ass on the lead guitar
+onus gumboot
Slim Dunlap played on the Replacements version.
Fucking legends!
I always flirt with death..I look ill but I don't care about it..
RIP Mike Kellie
So cool of them to cover a classic Blink182 song like this.
WTF ?? 😂
@@lcfr-sam340 Haha! 😂
Awesome!
Frank Spencer on vocals.
Only one band,only one band.
That’s what the advanced stages of heroin addiction looks like
@@SteveGad same as you mate

Cool stuff

Petter's Dorian Gray portrait is himself.
duffy duck singing
Lead singer is Wilfred Bramble
How come his voice has got higher with age?
another planet another key ….)
ANTHEM!!
Wow!
My goodness.
So, when you're in love but you know that you're too old to post the proper song from way back, because that would be to cliche, you can post this one. #livingmeme
what a fucking tune man happy days
was this the greatest ever single? maybe Driver's Seat or Ace of Spades....but it's damn close
Drivers seat; now there's where I'm going next!
classic
Does John Cooper Clarke know that someone has stolen his style ??
+Tamsin Mc Cormick read my mind lol
I think you'll find The Only Ones were at the top of their game before anyone had heard of J.C.Clarke !!
In the begining of the 2000s i found the original version of this music, a complete fresh beautiful by them when they were young. Now it has been deleted.

Perrett comes from Bristol don't ee??
... and then Prince made us all pancakes
They all look dead.........classic song though influenced punk a lot.
All of the decent punk songs were around before this was released.
pete on helium
wow, so weird that he has the same voice there
oh god, the drugs won that battle. so sad
Great song, but this sounds like one of those "shredder" videos
blink 182 brought me here
great track, great band, but this sounds way too smooth and a touch too warm
don't do heroin kids
Who are these old guys and why are they covering a blink 182 song ?
L
A bit more freshen up practice might have helped
The Replacements are /were a great band but don't bother with their cover of this listen to The Only Ones they are anyways The Only Ones
Replacements make a really good cover of this song :)
Na...No thanks.
Blink owned this cover.
I prefer the studio album already only heard about 2mins
Blink-182’s cover of this song is so much better!
I still think the blink-182 version is better
They sucked the soul from this track and turned it into mediocre pop punk.
Clap Wang Its still good though. I'm entitled to my opinion and so are you.
+OldSchoolAddict their version is good but lacks the classic solos
+OldSchoolAddict Good cover but there is just no emotion in Blink 182 version.
see i heard the blink 182 version first thinking it was there original song but when i heard this and it clicked i was like fuck cant believe i liked blinks version, the only ones damn its 10000000x better
when blink hace un cover mejor de la cancion que inventas :V
Blink 182's version was better but eh.
always 182 YEH! BLINK 182 RULE! I LOVE THEM
oh wait, I'm not 12
+always 182 Sooo derivative...At the time this was so original and fresh and inspiring, elevating us from the drudge of disco pop and the tale end of glam. These new wave artists cut new ground.
Genius song but Perrett sounds like Albert Steptoe on helium.
more like smack
Unhappily yes.
hey , thats where peters voice was at that time, no smack etc whatever, listen to his newer posts , his voice is great!X
AAAAAAHROLD!!
😂😂
