@@jaymacgee_A_Bawbag_Blethering Se we have similar tastes. I was an aspiring guitarist at the time and whilst my contemporaries raved over Clapton, Page and the “Old Men” I was more John Mcgeoch (ot who as often asked) and still rate Juju by Siouxie as one of the best pot punk albums.
A lot of these great tracks are about context . It’s 1978/9 - this was brand new ,this kind of stuff hadn’t existed before - that’s what made it so brilliant.
Wow this brings back memories. I was walking down Oxford Street in London 1978 with my mates and we saw a poster on a lamp post saying Magazine were playing a last minute gig at The 100 club. We'd heard of them but not heard them so we decided to go and check them out. They were pretty damp good live👍
I'm really impressed thta you featured tis track. This song was quintessential punk/ new wave. The singer, Howard devoto personified the punk ethic and philosophy by rueing the (slightly later) commercialised transitiion from the rough-around-the-edges raw spontaneity of punk into squeeky clean, heavily-produced, monetized, standardised music. Hemce, his characteristic Devoto-esque epigram : "What was once unhealthily fresh, has now become a clean Old Hat". My apologies, I'm out of my depth here with my ignorance of Americano lingo bcoz I'm not sure whether I need to interpret the idiom "old hat" which (at least in the UK) means out-of-date, lacking oriiginality, or trite. Thanks.
The Guitarist is beyond brilliant here, John McGeoch remember his name kids and look up his extensive work with other bands as well. Its all excellent.
A great track fi a great LP. This, if mi memory is working, was Produced by Mick Glossop who worked with everyone fi Public Image Ltd and Frank Zappa to, Ian Gillan and John Lee Hooker.
@@mightyV444 according to Wiki it was Peter Green from Fleetwood Mac who wrote that song n Carlos did his version a year later - well I never ! 😳 👍🏴
@Jay MacGee - Ah! Okay! Yeah, the guy I spoke to did also mention Peter Green / Fleetwood Mac but did think Hooker wrote the original. Thank you for the _correct_ info! 😉👍
It's the first I've ever heard my name mentioned on a reaction , sweet. and yes, as mentioned, Pete Shelley used the same riff on "Lipstick" and take a listen to "a different kind of tension" eponymous song of the third LP of the Buzzcocks.on headphones it's breathtaking
Every time I hear this song, I wonder why that riff sounds familiar, and then there is that Buzzcocks like bassline, but this is one of my favorite Magazine songs and stands the test of time. Great suggestion.
Chris - Barry Adamson plays a Gibson EB-3 (a.k.a. SG bass) and John McGeoch a Yamaha SG-1000; Discontinued by Yamaha some years ago, the Eastwood guitar company now makes a close copy and even calls it the 'McGeoch model' 😁 I'd once had the more affordable SG-300 version, which was quite nice already, so I assume the pricier SG-1000 and SG-2000 ones must've been totes amazeballs 😄
A true classic of the era. Yamaha SGs were very popular around that time: Jake Burns, Midge Ure, Stuart Adamson, just to pick out a few names who favoured them. Then they more or less disappeared from view. Now highly desirable, but not affordable for me.
Superb song, best magazine did along with 'The Light Pours Out of me'. Magazine were sort of caught between genres, probably not accepted as punk but not anything else either

This is the original 45 version. They rerecorded it for their debut LP "The Correct Use of Soap" (UK 1978). Mine is a minority opinion, I admit, but I actually perfer the later LP version...
![CAMPปลิ้น | รวม Highlight 2024! PART [1/2]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/6hnvNnvYloU/mqdefault.jpg)
This was written with Pete Shelley ( Buzzcocks ) & the late & great & future Banshees guitarist John Mcgeoch is on it. Rightly considered a classic.

@@jaymacgee_A_Bawbag_Bletheringkia ora hello Jay brother 👏👏👏🤘👍✌️
Same riff used in Buzzcocks "Pink Lipstick" that they were working on at about the same time.
The song was not written with Pete Shelley, but the riff is Petes. Buzzcocks used this riff on Lipstick, and allowed Magazine to use it on this song.
Sounds awesome…every time. Never grows old.
He was the lead singer in the original buzzcocks line up. This is a great song in my opinion. 😊
Monumental riff, awesome solo, one of their defining moments.
Now you have to do Lipstick by Buzzcocks....
sounds just as good now as it did when I first heard it in 1978
Unlike the ones yesterday, I think it's superb

John McGeoch was the British punk's best guitarist. Please try love from the cult's classic 1985 album love. Or phoenix song, for that matter.
Its nice that you have discovered Magazine
Listening to your comments Howard Devoto will say to himself that you love him because you're frightened
