RIP Steve Albini . Epic transformation from the original on this track . The wedding present wanted a harder edge , and he delivered. One of the best songs ever .
I just discovered this band. And I'm really disappointed. I'm disappointed that I went my whole life, when the 80s and 90s impacted me the most with music, and they never got in my path. I am absolutely obsessed with this song, and it now has a forever home in my playlist
One of the most UNDERRATED bands EVER! Each album is a proper musical experience! I saw them at The Brixton Academy in London,in May 1991,pity they only played for an hour and walked offstage.
they sometimes played short gigs back in the day, fast and furious stuff! My 1st live Present experience was in McGonagles in Dublin in 1988. Fantastic gig! @@PeAr_ShApE_Records
Love, the Wedding Present, but my vote for one of the most underrated bands goes to Rock*A*Teens (not the Woo Hoo 60s instrumentalists) th-cam.com/video/Mv_NcJ9r6fU/w-d-xo.html
Used to work with a guy called Michael Parker about 10 years ago, he told me about this band. I didn't get round to listening to them until now. Cheers Mike, wherever you are.
@@colinpumpernickel2605 SNAKEY B?!! Never into them myself. More of pints of bitter mans myself.Saw the results of lads drinking too many of these though. Usually purple barf on carpets.
Was at a wedding when the DJ reluctantly played this. About 20 guys, all late 30s / early 40s chanting "I've just decided I don't THRUST you anymore" complete with pelvic thrusts.
Yeah man. Do student unions even exist any more. Some of the best nights (and best bands) I ever had were at ULU and my own college (Watford) union bar. Great times man. Long missed
This Band, that song, those times... somehow this song keeps coming into my head. The words cement a feeling you get when love turns sour. The tune is so catchy, the band play to perfection and the vocal delivery hits a chord in my heart. All hail the Weddos
This takes me back. Remember the first time i heard this and fell in love with the band and the music. Makes me want to jump around the room. Had the pleasure of seeing this band live a few times and thats somethiing i am glad about.
When I was a kid, my grandmother would put a medium sized bowl on my head and cut my hair around it. Looked like Gedge here. One of my favorite songs BTW
I believe this was their first collaboration with Steve Albini. At the time I couldn't think of two more disparate parties to be working together. Time proved me wrong. Seamonsters was in my mind the best album ever.
Whenever I listened to this song, Brian "Nutter" Flanagan said it was directed at me. I said, "Feck, what you think water doesn't flow off a duck's back"
I'll tell ya, I saw The Pressies at the Kilburn National in London, in November of 1989, and again at The Casbah in San Diego in mmmm...1994, I think it was. On this ocassion I sidled up to Gedge who was standing by the bar and asked him " Why did you sack Grapper?' He gave me a look and walked away.
This tune had been out a while, but I hadn't heard it. It was 1993, and my wife and I had split up for good, finally, after 15 years. I was not in a very good place, of course. I went into a record store (they still existed back then). I was thumbing through stacks, and I found this! It wasn't the story of what I was going through quite, but sometimes music will fit your sitch, even still. I played this quite a lot. Who was this band? I'd never heard of them out here in the middle of the southern Texas panhandle. No Google then . . .
The last great era of indie bands. Indie is just a description of bands in skinny trousers now. All signed to major labels. People consider Brit pop ( which I loathed ) as indie. Most of them were on major labels. Middle class, coffee table bands.
Taped this song off John Peel one blustery Wednesday. The tape has long since worn out and is currently in some landfill in China. Something today made me think of this song and it is so damn good to hear it again. Funny though, after all these years I had no idea what the Pressies looked like. Gedge is not what I expected
Damn it Vevo! This video IS Fantastic. If I get Alzheimer's I hope this is the last song I remember. Edit 10/21. I stand by my comment, but tomorrow my aunt’s going into a memory care center. Whatever that does. So, kinda feel a bit callous. Sorry Sally. Miss you. Time, family, and Rock n Roll.

Unfortunate that they never got the credit they deserved. I’ve seen them a few times and sounded as great as the albums.

Welcome to The Weddos. We are many and, yet, unheard of.
they sometimes played short gigs back in the day, fast and furious stuff! My 1st live Present experience was in McGonagles in Dublin in 1988. Fantastic gig! @@PeAr_ShApE_Records
Same.. I somehow missed em till now
The most underrated band ever.
Id say that title belongs to the fall but TWP are a close second
@@nwo4life708 And I'm so glad that of the few decent things I done in my life, I saw both bands live :)

The near dead silence of the bridge with the strong guitar notes is gorgeous
Well said mate
"It's hard to be engaging, when the things you love keep changing."
Gedge, along with Nigel Blackwell of HMHB is one of the great unsung heroes of British popular culture
DarrenBonJovi yes! half man half biscuit! dont forget jim bob and fruitbat though
Well said fella.
Saw the biccies last week, seeing The Weddoes 'Bizzarro' gig next month.You're bang on da money matey:)
Rarely a truer word on YT. Exceptionally good call.
HMHB?
Used to work with a guy called Michael Parker about 10 years ago, he told me about this band. I didn't get round to listening to them until now. Cheers Mike, wherever you are.
Yeah right. Check out sea monsters. The most underrated album I know of.
"Just don't forget you ever knew him."
Now it’s almost twenty years.
Saw this band over 100 times. Their live show was incredible!
It's only about 3 times a year.
Happy birthday brassneck.to think I've been listening to this track 33 yrs ago.wheres the time gone.and still great live after all these yrs.
It’s genius
Saw them live many, many years ago in UK (exchange student). The wall of swirling guitars + many pints of snakebites + mosh pit = absolute mad house.
Going to see them tonight :)
What life's about.
They were amazing weren’t they?
Snakebite and black surely!

omg
An absolute masterclass in song writing. Heart breaking.
I have no words for how much this song means to me since like the early 90ies. Thank you guys !!!
What a classic. Loughborough UNI SU, 1989. Best gig I ever went to. I may still have the bruises.
Yeah man. Do student unions even exist any more. Some of the best nights (and best bands) I ever had were at ULU and my own college (Watford) union bar. Great times man. Long missed
Yeah Kuiper i Gree
Hah! Same with the bruises, but for me it was The Pogues at Nottingham University's Sherwood Hall in 1992
I've just decided....Thank you, John Peel! ...and of course W.P.!!!!!
I forgot how bloody good this track is
I saw the group 1988 in East Berlin. It was my best concert ever!
This Band, that song, those times...
somehow this song keeps coming into my head. The words cement a feeling you get when love turns sour. The tune is so catchy, the band play to perfection and the vocal delivery hits a chord in my heart.
All hail the Weddos
So F good! Im mid 50, still listening this. And still jumping. Simply, no music such this today!
This is art, so fantasic and beautiful
As the saying goes, everyone’s favourite second band. Long live The Weddos.
i love Peter has a straight face the whole way through, then grins when he gets picked up. :D
BarnesUK Peter Solowka is my science teacher
First saw them on itv chart show in the 80s singing why are you being so reasonable now...after that just fell in love with them 😁
Just a fucking brilliant band.

LOVE THE PUNKY GUITARS , FROM A PUNKY BAND 😊☮️☯️🏴☠️ ONE OF THE TOP INDIE BANDS OF THEIR TIME....BRASSNECK...!!
Ah... The sound track to mi adolescence! Goosebumps!
Wow!!! Absolutely love this, reminds me of being 12 and my older sister blasting it out.. Loved it then and still do
Excellent drum beat.
Great song. This reminds me the music from the 80's-90's. Fantastic period ...
Absolutely brilliant.
I've just discovered this song... already a classic for me. Great lyrics and that last section and its guitar - gorgeous!
Try this Wedding Present live th-cam.com/video/HciSJK4JlVQ/w-d-xo.html
I believe this was their first collaboration with Steve Albini. At the time I couldn't think of two more disparate parties to be working together. Time proved me wrong. Seamonsters was in my mind the best album ever.
Seamonsters is unreal
this song is from Bizarro not Seamonsters
This song was originally on Bizarro but was re-recorded for the single release with Albini, who then went on to do Seamonsters.
@@dj_grim I know it's not on Seamonsters. I was just commenting re the original post
The Bizzarro version pre albini was the best.
Full of energy
Fantastic
Thank you Wedding Present
Used to listen to this in 1989, but I've never seen this video!!
It's hard to be engaging, when the things you love keep changing
Wow. I'd forgotten all about this group and song! Loved it when it first came on TV back in the day.
Love this. Reminds me of driving around London in 1990 in my piece of crap car, with the stereo worth more than the car, blasting Bizarro.
i love his voice!
Another good old blast from the past!!! Love it!!! ;) x
Love this video. Like a ballet version of a weddoes mosh pit. Happy memories!
Seen them live they were amazing!!!
Brilliant.....brilliant....brilliant.....what an opening track.....what a wonderful album..... Wow!!!!
I bloody love this band.
Whenever I listened to this song, Brian "Nutter" Flanagan said it was directed at me. I said, "Feck, what you think water doesn't flow off a duck's back"
It is Sunday morning and this is JUST right.
Reminds me of the big break up of my life.I'm still just coming down really.
I'll tell ya, I saw The Pressies at the Kilburn National in London, in November of 1989, and again at The Casbah in San Diego in mmmm...1994, I think it was. On this ocassion I sidled up to Gedge who was standing by the bar and asked him " Why did you sack Grapper?' He gave me a look and walked away.
Christ I miss Jangly Guitars and cutting lyrics
Try the band Sweetness "A little longer yet"
Very supercool stuff.... Loved this... Thanks for posting
Hello Mr Radford. This always reminds me of you.
In another universe, I'm still with the person who introduced me to The Wedding Present. KGP.
Yet another Classic..........
What a voice.
I got my best 2 mates on to The Wedding Present years ago. They still owe me back. To be fair, we've seen them together on many occasions.
The Wedding Present was far too cool for their time.
Every hipster band from 2002-2009 tried very hard to sound exactly like this song.
And to look like them as well.
Legendary status, long may they continue.
One of their best, have this 7” numbered hand painted. Sad song 👌
My high school teacher mr solowka is one of these members lol (Peter solowka)
Met David one time in templebar in Dublin. Around 97. I was on the hop from college. Good times.
Damn some girl must have broke his heart to come out with this.
Have you heard all his other songs?!
De Leeds, David Gedge, the guitars are fabulous, brillant band.
first track heard on a pub jukebox lovely
Amazing song and band. The Husker Dü influence is very noticeable
You may have a point there,what a great band they were ,too.
Eben entdeckt, macht einfach gute Laune
Amazing
Top music 1st class 80s
Damn John Hamm was a hell of a frontman
I still have your autograph Dave, after these concerts in Rennes!!
This band were Awesome

Ahh… the wedding present. Memories!
What a gift
Loved this back when it was out but haven't heard it since then...it's 2022
this was my song when my 1st wife left me, helped me get thru some bad times, made me angry rather than sad, job done !
Great riff.
Good memories of Blackburn and Maryport! :) Dom
Great song. My dad has the album on vinyl, will have to dig it out and have a proper listen
+Andrew Norman you're dad is a legend you lucky young pup
Yip , magic -love vid 2
Take it away Grapper!!
I have their whole library...Ace band🙌

Middle class, coffee table bands.
Britpop was the start of the end. Then we got sold indie lite (Coldplay, Travis, Keane, Florence & The Machine). Was all over by '94.
nobody tell him what sort of trousers gedge is wearing in this video
He is killing that guitar...

Thanks for this,especially now. Happy New year. Haha.😠
PS: Crazy video, mind you!
Kilburn National 1989 Yeah!!
Cool Video
Nice work Mike!
watching the a word and this was played and i realised how much i fucking loved this band
class
Bizarro was my WP album, I know for many it was George Best.
Kind of like a revved up Joy Division. Very cool stuff.🔥
The soundtrack to several disastrous relationships 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I never stopped hoping.... Until now....
It's the hope'......
lets set the scene 1989 park the bike,pub,lunch break,skinny kid puts 10p in duke box BRASS NECK!!!! Do the george best album...
