Nice video ! 🙂 Thanks for using the audio I posted of the Billerica show, it's one of my favourite because of the fire incident and the way Jerry is so laidback about it
Thank you so much! The audio from that show became one of my favorite pieces of Talking Heads trivia and was so interesting to research and discover. I never knew about it until I was making the video. So thank YOU for posting it :)
Having read Chris Frantz's book Remain In Love, I have to say that it appears you're going too soft on David Byrne here. He not only left his wife at the RRHOF induction ceremony, but he skipped town, left her with no idea where he was or how to get "home', and simply didn't tell her about it. Chris and Tina ended up helping her out. David also did a similar thing in the '80s with his first girlfriend, left her in America while he was touring in Japan and didn't tell her they'd broken up, until she figured it out when he came back to the states with his new girlfriend, who he then married. David also did some more unethical things regarding songwriting credits, leaving everybody but himself off of the album as writers, although they all collaborated on every track and should have all been properly credited. There's more, but it goes way beyond ups and downs, yes it was a very toxic band relationship.
That is very fair. I appreciate the feedback. I definitely did not want to lambast anyone in the band in particular. I just wanted to open the door and give a brief run down of events. I also have read Frantz's book, and while what he says could be true, I did not want to go all in on saying anything so severe since that is only from his perspective. Thanks again for the great comment and for watching the video :)
the 2002 rock and roll hof induction was in new york city lmfao, even if the story is true (which i doubt, chris wasn't privy to david's personal life at that time) adelle knew how to get home lmfao
People on the spectrum often have a difficult time with empathy, and can sometimes be insensitive. David has come to understand this better and reached a more mature place in his life. But all that hoo ha is really just tabloid drama the fans of these artists can do without.
I like a lot of the Talking Heads music. My favorite song of theirs is "Memories Can't Wait" from the album Fear of Music. It paints a story that i can relate to having laid in bed with with memories stopping me from sleep. It also, to me, encapsulates what one of the songs is with the end having a great Byrne vocal
I tried to find something related to the disastrous events of the Boston Arts Show but I couldn’t find anything. All I found was that apparently the B-52’s opened for them prior and that there is a recording of the show, but there’s no I Zimbra encore. I’m not even sure how a guitar amp, being used professionally on a stage by a band that has done many shows prior, could explode dramatically in flames. Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth would sometimes literally crank all the settings on his amp to 10 at the start of a concert and keep it like that till at the very end when the amp will make a pop sound and die, yet his amp never caught fire suddenly. Honestly it’s either a straight up conspiracy theory or a Final Destination-style butterfly effect happened that caused one of the amps to explode and then somehow information gets lost or withheld from the public to protect the venue and the band’s reputation. I’m still very interested though so I’d really like to know how you found the information you did find
Really great video! I am pretty new to the Talking Heads, and this iceberg really piqued my interest in the band. Great quality also, up there with a lot of the more well-known iceberg TH-camrs.
i thought that an talking heads creepypasta would be an good idea. so here is my attempt. it was an saturday night in 1980. the heads were at their studio. ΄΄after all this remain in light thing going on, why don΄t we decide to probably try to perform it next week?΄΄ chris asks while wearing a smile. In confusion, the rest of the band looks at him. ΄΄we were going to do that anyways.΄΄ David says, trying to correct him. Chris gasps and David rolls his eyes in annoyance. ΄΄then, should we practice?΄΄ Chris says with an bit lower toned voice due to embarassment. the 2 band members, Tina and David, looked at him the same, but confusion build up. Jerrys eyes widen, as he tries to calm down. ΄΄didn΄t we....?΄΄ Jerry says in concern. Chriss eyes start to get droopy and close. ΄΄i forgot about that....΄΄ chris says, an bit shy. Tina gets closer to him, as his blush is shown a soft shade of pink. ΄΄what i found concerning is that you forget alot nowadays.΄΄ Tinas eyes meet his, as she starts to feel gis mouth aches, and Tina immediately noticed. ΄΄how do i explain this feeling?΄΄ chris says, thinking as much as possible. Tina caresses his hand with her thumb, smiling, and waiting. the other 2 boys wait in constant confusion and unimeganible impatience. ΄΄it΄s okay, you can explain it. we΄re here for you anyways.΄΄ slowly patting his head, tina grins a pretty smile, as the other twos only feelings had been mixed with the confusion and impatience, bringing a pain to their minds as theyre forced to watch Chris lose it, and Tina not understanding how insane he is. ΄΄forgetting things like this is one thing. makes me feel.... uncomfortable. even worse is that i feel like my mind is being replaced with other knowledge. it΄s an terrible yet euphoric feeling.΄΄ Tinas eyes widened, and Jerry could feel a single tear slip out of his eye from the pain, his fingers starting to divorce, it felt more painful, like blood ran down on them, when his skin was there. And David started trembling, his hands mimicking a soft rain, as his trembling builds up in an awful rush. they started to feel suffering pain, as they wanted it to stop. They begged a soft manifestation for all this to stop in their heads, but that didnt stop. their veins were given strength, adding an huge part in this suffering that felt eternal. ΄΄chris, how do you feel right now?΄΄ Jerry asks, voice choking painfully, each word a voice crack snapped. Chris looked horrifyingly at him, as Jerry places his hands infront of his face as a shield, as it rained sweat down his hands. ΄΄good question! the euphoria is slowly lowering, and it gets even more terrible, i can΄t focus on anything!΄΄ Chriss words were echoed across David and Jerrys ears, it was as if Chris was doing something, Chris glanced at the 2 boys as they suffered in eternal pain, as he smiled proudly, to something horrible. ΄΄David? Jerry? what happened?΄΄ Tina asked, confused, as Chris admired her being clueless. the 2 boys stared at her, no moving, but just standing still, as Jerry began crying, and falling into his knees. ΄΄GOD! save us... save us all....΄΄ he started praying, feeling a burning supremacy for God in that moment. Chris smiled like a psychopath, but Tina didnt notice, she was concerned for David, standing still. Jerry had fainted, slowly, but surely. Tina notices him immediately.
So -now wanna see that Sean Penn looking like Robwrt Smith movie now around 3:00..n uhh the Police cut Their US Teeth at CBGS too..so many bands -VU, Sonic Youth, etc...cool to hear abt the live disatsers
Killer video this is really interesting. Also Talking Heads is also one of my favorite bands ever and this getting on my recommended page is very coll so thank you I appreciate this video very well executed.
@@star_dust007 Heck ya of course I love replying to comments. I would have to say Psycho Killer. That was the song that introduced me to the band. A Clean Break is also another fav of mine. What about you?
They are my favorite and I also grew up with them. Great video. New stuff for me to check out. Will be forever bummed they broke up. Wish they could have been like the Stones!!!
Nice, informative video!! But, it is marred somewhat by your inconsistent reference to the band, incorrectly, as The Talking Heads. To quote the title of one of their live albums, "The Name of this Band is Talking Heads"; not *the* Talking Heads.
Oh lol you didn't include the fact that Byrne is in this really REALLY weird parody cult with Mark Mothersbrough and Frank Zappa called 'Church of Subgenius' that worships a guy called Bob and believe they are descended from Yetis or something 🤪
In the copy of "Remain in Love" that I have, there's no direct mention of David shitting on the hotel bed. It just coyly refers to a "rumor." I wonder if later editions required an edit for legal purposes?
I just came across this video and I was wondering if you had any information about the person on the inner sleeve of Fear of Music? It’s an image that’s been stuck in my memory for the longest time. Great video otherwise!
Hey Garrison, for the background music I actually found instrumentals of the songs and then slowed them down and added reverb to them in my editing software. I know you can find some Talking Heads music out there that are slowed and reverbed, they are actually pretty fun to listen to. Hope this helps!
Hey there! So glad you watched the video! That part of the iceberg was just for fun and was included sort of as a creepypasta by the original creator of the iceberg. So thankfully, that whole disaster never happened, unless there is something that the general public doesn't know about ;)
@@ithinkitsvizbiI knew it was fake the minute you said "while performing I Zimbra" because Talking Heads never performed that song live during the Fear Of Music Tour, so I got tipped off right from the word go. Fun bit of creepypasta, though !
the story i heard was David and a lady friend stayed in an hotel and he was soooo off his face that in the morning she awoke to see David taking a crap above her head. She dodged the turd.
@@ithinkitsvizbi i heard it years ago from a woman in Australia. I am not sure what her connection with the described events were, but the impression I had is that she knew the freaked out lady who almost got turd bombed by Byrne.
Anything to the story I heard about when Busta Jones was brought into the band for Remain in Light that David forced Tina to "re"audition with the band to keep her spot as the bassist? Given the later legacy of the Tom Tom Club, you sure can't make the case that Tina wasn't "funky enough" for the band!!!
No idea why pundits like you refer to TH as post punk or new wave. They were playing exactly the same style of music in 1975 before the whole punk thing was even engineered.
@@AcousticKidIt isnt, they are majorly New Wave, with some Major influences of Art Rock and Funk Rock. They are not edgy and distorted enough to be Punk, though they have some songs like Im not in love or Paper that achieve some Punk edge.
Why are you referring to Talking Heads as "The" Talking Heads when you correctly stated David named the band "Talking Heads". I'm just off to watch an upload of The Public Enemy now.
Thanks for making that point. Maybe I'm a little OCD, but many TH-cam narrators do this and I find it fucking annoying. Nowhere on any of their albums is the word 'the' included in the artist's name. Another good clue is the live album title 'The Name of this Band is 'Talking Heads'. Someone genuinely into Talking Heads, or music in general, would make an effort to be less sloppy. It's just common courtesy.
@@hooraylizardshit3821 Yeah, a Talking Heads fan certainly would not be referring to them as "The" Talking Heads. Decent upload but needs editing out. Done my head in too 😄
@@experi-mentalproductions5358 I just saw a video of David Byrne answering some common Google Search questions about the band, and there were several that referred to the band with "the"; David didn't comment on it at all, and reads the questions "the" and all, when it appears. I truly wonder how particular they each were about "the" name of "the" band ... particularly since, experi-MENTAL is right, Jerry uses "the" in Stop Making Sense (which always makes me cringe when I watch that otherwise masterpiece of a film).

I call that whole story complete bs. Chris Frantz was just trying to make a name for himself by declaring David Byrne a bad person!

According to a reply in these comments from the video creator, the video creator made that bit up about the show, so it's a lie.
