This song is co-credetited to Francis Rossi of Status Quo. The whole song is actually their (quo's) single Matchstick Men, I believe 1968. Brilliant tune and nice arrangement by Death in Vegas with Liam.
Massive attack and unkle don’t do it either. As long as they are credited in the rights for royalties they don’t have to list feat on the record sleeve.
He needs a few dance breaks n beats in his music sometimes , Noel was always more into that e.g chemical brothers this is the closest Liam got really , no excuse seeing as Liam Howlett, The Prodigy is his brother in law.
This song just shows the progression of Liams Voice through the years. It absolutely fits the track perfectly. Liams always had that great Rock Voice as it is but certain songs show it a hell of alot more and Scorpio Rising is most definitely one of them.
I've had my own demons to overcome and hearing this song there are so many lyrics in it that truly resonated with me at that stage. If I don't go crazy I will loose my mind. Hope your conquering your demons 💚
@@josephquigley5037 ah so you get it! I feel exactly the same..when I got out of rehab I was struggling with the crippling depression and social anxiety.. was suicidal. . Music is amazing to heal with..glad I'm still here..glad you've conquered your demons..stay safe mate ..fuck covid 19
ahh, the veiled,gnomic utterances. If you tried a bit harder you'd have transcended the full tool. Still,didn't do bad,you nailed it. Preferably to a table.
"Pictures of matchstick men and you" Status Quo original track. You listen to it young 'uns and see the similarities. Quo were credited in it for writing. True!
When you kiss the base of my spine Make my body into your shrine You give me this feeling deep inside One that I can no longer disguise While other snakes just shed their skins Fucked holes pointing out my sins Even though I realise that history's not on my side Even though I realise the pioneer skin still curls up in my eyes If I don't go crazy, I'll lose my mind I saw a life before me but now I'm blind I wanna go to heaven, never been there before I wanna go to heaven, so you give me some more Flying high upon the gallows Too messed up to step out of the shadows A drugged up heart that knows no sorrow Rescued from this deep dark hole Stick on these boots and sharpen the nails Time is nigh for you leather girls Maybe we should end this race Vanish while we cannot leave no trace If I don't go crazy, I'll lose my mind I saw a life before me, but now I'm blind See one-arm film stars on alien beaches Potted gold and tattooed faces Harrison murals on the corner, tupperware boxes full of hops Diazepam dreams there catching streams Paper dinosaurs flash blue and green Still I've got a flash-bulb head Still I've got a flash-bulb head If I don't go crazy, I'll lose my mind I saw a life before me but now I'm blind I wanna go to heaven, never been there before I wanna go to heaven, so you give me some more Come along nice, come along dead Scorpio rising, and paint it red A psychic equalizer in your head Come along nice, come along dead Scorpio rising, and paint it red A psychic equalizer in your head
@@davidandrews9744It's actually "forked tongues pointing out my sins". That whole verse is full of snake metaphors! And of course saying someone has a "forked tongue" means they are speaking spitefully, deceitfully, or just flat out lying.
18 years searching for this song, and causually steped into it while looking to Kenneth Anger's 'Scorpio Rising', which was suggested by Nicolas Winding Refn's 'Valhalla Rising'. I knew I would find it some day, now I can go in peace.
Julian I have been searching for this song since 2003. I knew It was liam but not Oasis. I searched for two decades until now I put Liam Gallagher songs and now I found it. It did not show up in the past though. What coincidence we both found it almost at the same time. I was aware of the Rythm because it sounds like Fly away from Lenny Kravitz.
I haven't heard this song in ages probably since it was first released.. It sounds so good even after all this time... in fact I think I like it more now than when it first came out
What happened to music like this? Where artists wrote from the heart...I sound like an old man I know but I'm not even 30 yet...just sick of this mediocre bullshit that the media throws my way and expects me to buy.
Idiots. Idiots with bad taste. Just because something is new and "modern", doesn't mean it's good, but they will still buy it and like it not because it's good but because it's new. Sad and pathetic.
Epic song and video to cover the generational curse / mission of people born between 1981 and 1995 - the generation of the scorpio where these people will have to fight for their freedom.
«One-arm film stars on alien beaches, potted gold and tattooed faces; Harrison murals on the corner, tupperware boxes full of hopes; Diazepam dreams there catching streams. Paper dinosaurs, flash blue and green... Still I've got a flash-bulb head» You can almost feel it.
Been searching for this video since i first saw it in 2002, it left an impression but i didn't note at the time which band was behind it. Finally tracked it down after all these years, 'vegas' stuck in my mind but i kept thinking Dirty Vegas? Nope. And something possibly about 'rising...'. Mercury rising perhaps? Wrong again. But now i've found it i feel a great satisfaction and somewhat relief. [edit; just read a few of the comments also stating they'd been searching for this song for many years :) glad not just this crazy guy.] Fantastic video, very creative, original and atmospheric. Looks expensive for what is a niche band, but i guess Liam's name helped carry some publicity. Where did the artistic inspiration come from? Who was the director? Oh and on listening again after nearly 20 years.. a great track too.
Just add "Feat. Liam Gallagher" in the tittle and I will assure you, you will see it rising.
It does'nt need to rise, this is a rare pearl for not all, signed Death in Vegas.
I wish quite a few folk here would find themselves up to their tittles in rising scorpions.
Damned right.
One of the finest vocal performances Liam has given.Gas Panic is his finest moment for me.
+Ian Hardie Liam's vocals pinnacle was at Be Here Now (1997) irrespective of how it fared.
well said m8
Ian Hardie 100% agree
He was also brilliant on the B-side to Go Let It Out - Let's all Make Believe. It's out of this universe the range of his vocals!!
yuna1971Agree, I love that song too!!!
the best song oasis never made
Totally agree
oasis? this is Death in Vegas!!!
@@maxdesmer2008 They said "never" not "ever" ;)
Don't forget the might status quo too
This song is co-credetited to Francis Rossi of Status Quo. The whole song is actually their (quo's) single Matchstick Men, I believe 1968. Brilliant tune and nice arrangement by Death in Vegas with Liam.
You should add 'feat. Liam Gallagher' in the title...because his vocals rock!
2011Vass I absolutely fucking agree with you there
Trip hop bands don't do that, it comes from soundsystem culture.
I thought that bands had to do that by law, recognising artistic input from other peeps on a track
TOTALLY AGREE 💯
Massive attack and unkle don’t do it either. As long as they are credited in the rights for royalties they don’t have to list feat on the record sleeve.
This song would have fitted well on 'standing on the shoulder of giants' class song!
It reminds me a bit of Go let It Out
I do completely agree with you!
Pitty it aint an Oasis tune.
No, bc this is better than anything Oasis ever made.
Thats how Liam's new project should sound like
He needs a few dance breaks n beats in his music sometimes , Noel was always more into that e.g chemical brothers this is the closest Liam got really , no excuse seeing as Liam Howlett, The Prodigy is his brother in law.
Wall of Glass.
Ray In the House he did a tune with the prodigy called shoot down
'It doesn't have to be that way' and 'Invisible Sun' kinda sound like this one in my opinion.
Ino people ☮️ what a cine make of classic class
This song just shows the progression of Liams Voice through the years. It absolutely fits the track perfectly. Liams always had that great Rock Voice as it is but certain songs show it a hell of alot more and Scorpio Rising is most definitely one of them.
This is the song Liam was born for!
shame he ripped off somebody else's song lmao
what song was ripped off?
+IRkorpus gametag status quo - pictures of matchstick men. Francis Rossi got his name down as a writer, so it's all good now 👌
Pete Rose my god! I've never seen that until you said!!! You're bang on the money with that one! Well done for Francis Rossi!
lol innit just!
Who's listening 2024?? Used to hammer this banger on the juke box! LG best vocal ❤
here here :)
I am
me too
Correctamundo !! 🤷🏻
+ one
Pictures of matchstick men, Liam Gallagher, death in Vegas, what a combination, what a tune, still sounds as good as it did when it first came out
I've only just heard this track at work - two things sprung to mind -
Status Quo
Liam Gallagher
I was right, after all!
A great track 😄
Was in rehab qhen I first heard this..I was detoxing off heroin..made me forget my withdrawals for a few mins
Hope you managed to get off the brown. Top tune
@@deltennent9146 I did mate..I'm now down to 0:08mg of Subutex...almost home! 😊

Liam: remarkable vocals
Norman Dario Franco Vanegas mad for it
Best Liam Gallagher vocals of all time! Untouchable!
Is it actually him ?
@@mickyss7766 Yes it is
Of course!
"Pictures of matchstick men, pictures of matchstick men..." ;)
Also, 32 people really have no clue about music.
Definitely a Status Quo rip-off!!!
They paid up !
Oh really I didn't know that. Only fair really!
ahh, the veiled,gnomic utterances. If you tried a bit harder you'd have transcended the full tool. Still,didn't do bad,you nailed it. Preferably to a table.
Yip.
Liam on vocals, amazing. Pure rock n roll! Live Forever!
AGREED , very good vocal ,music is great too
Awesome..love this hidden gem of a tune..
This must be Liam Gallaghers best vocals ever, and the lyrics, brilliant!
Doesnt matter what year you listen, great music is eternal....
great vocals by liam,,
LIAM LIAM LIAM!
"If i don't go crazy.. I'll lose my mind.."
Je confirme :
Pictures of Matchstick Men - Status Quo 1968
"Pictures of matchstick men and you" Status Quo original track. You listen to it young 'uns and see the similarities. Quo were credited in it for writing. True!
You're 100% right; good to see Death In Vegas doing the right thing and giving credit where credit is due to Status Quo.
When you kiss the base of my spine
Make my body into your shrine
You give me this feeling deep inside
One that I can no longer disguise
While other snakes just shed their skins
Fucked holes pointing out my sins
Even though I realise that history's not on my side
Even though I realise the pioneer skin still curls up in my eyes
If I don't go crazy, I'll lose my mind
I saw a life before me but now I'm blind
I wanna go to heaven, never been there before
I wanna go to heaven, so you give me some more
Flying high upon the gallows
Too messed up to step out of the shadows
A drugged up heart that knows no sorrow
Rescued from this deep dark hole
Stick on these boots and sharpen the nails
Time is nigh for you leather girls
Maybe we should end this race
Vanish while we cannot leave no trace
If I don't go crazy, I'll lose my mind
I saw a life before me, but now I'm blind
See one-arm film stars on alien beaches
Potted gold and tattooed faces
Harrison murals on the corner, tupperware boxes full of hops
Diazepam dreams there catching streams
Paper dinosaurs flash blue and green
Still I've got a flash-bulb head
Still I've got a flash-bulb head
If I don't go crazy, I'll lose my mind
I saw a life before me but now I'm blind
I wanna go to heaven, never been there before
I wanna go to heaven, so you give me some more
Come along nice, come along dead
Scorpio rising, and paint it red
A psychic equalizer in your head
Come along nice, come along dead
Scorpio rising, and paint it red
A psychic equalizer in your head
thanks for the lyrics...
superb
Wrong lyrics
Agostino Gallo cheers dude! X
Diibbss Dave cooper corregila tu!

Such a classic. Absolutely fantastic track and beat.
What a tune. This song was born for Liam Gallagher. Amazing voice.
Is it actually him ?
@@mickyss7766 Yes.
If I don't go crazy I might lose my mind.
Love that line.
drumdust -Might?
I prefer the "fucked holes pointing out my sins line"
Yeah 👍
@@davidandrews9744It's actually "forked tongues pointing out my sins". That whole verse is full of snake metaphors! And of course saying someone has a "forked tongue" means they are speaking spitefully, deceitfully, or just flat out lying.
@@calebfuller4713 so it basically means the owner of the "forked tongue" is a snake. fascinating.
Flying high upon the gallows too messed up to step out of the shadows...Diazepam dreams catching streams. Fucking been there. Great track.
Hell yeah
Liam Gallagher - fucking legend, don't give two fucks who say otherwise !!!!!
Correct . Noel's the dogs bollocks though
seany5732 Yea but when it came to Oasis it was the tunes Liam sang in that I preferred but I get you it woudnt have been possible without Noel.
me too
Still sounds awesome in 2020
Try it in 2021! Even better
unlike his voice these days

this song is magnificent...flying high upon the gallows, too messed up to step out of the shadows. love it
no one would be able to sing this better
One Of Liam Gallagher's finest performances...Superb.
Massively under rated tune, Liam's vocals at his finest.
Not really underrated, it was a hit and on heavy rotation on radio & music TV when it was released.
One of the most positive song for mood improvement :). Perfectly matched tones and amazing vocals by Liam Gallagher!
How the fuck was this 20 years ago. No way!
If I don't go crazy I'll lose my mind
I haven't heard this song in ages. I finally found it and I connect to this song even more now cause I'm a Scorpio rising.
18 years searching for this song, and causually steped into it while looking to Kenneth Anger's 'Scorpio Rising', which was suggested by Nicolas Winding Refn's 'Valhalla Rising'. I knew I would find it some day, now I can go in peace.
Julian I have been searching for this song since 2003. I knew It was liam but not Oasis. I searched for two decades until now I put Liam Gallagher songs and now I found it. It did not show up in the past though. What coincidence we both found it almost at the same time. I was aware of the Rythm because it sounds like Fly away from Lenny Kravitz.
Grats to you
the fucking poowwwer of this song and Liam's voice is fucking mental
One of the best songs and videos ever made. Liam ❤

Epic song and video to cover the generational curse / mission of people born between 1981 and 1995 - the generation of the scorpio where these people will have to fight for their freedom.
Very underrated track. 😅
Imagine if this had been released in 1967.

It was by Status Quo
The best Liam vocal ever. way under stated. Noels lyrics are amazing but this is different. Legend
Classic tune.. Remember when I first heard this.. Still gives me goosebumps in 2020
I don't get tired of this awesome tune.
Perfect

I dont think even he knows how good hes voice vocals are ,,
Everytime I listen to this wonderful song I feel that Feeling! If u know what I mean!!
90% of these comments: "these Liam vocals rock"
my comment: "damn, release the rest of the studio session"
Perfect combination-LG and death in vegas,love it xx
Need to thank the mighty status quo for giving us this , blinding take on it ✌️👌
Brilliant song and video, remember buying the single, love singing it on drunken guitar nights, brings such good memory's :-)
There is only one film better than it. Kill Bill.
Living proof that if it wasnt for Noel, Liam would have been alright
there are strong supporters of Noel, personally, I have always preferred Noel to Liam
Liam Gallagher brought me here!! TUNE!
Voice of my generation
also a great song to play along to on the bass guitar!
The first time I heard this song, I was sure this was Liam Gallagher.
A fantastic song. Defo in my top 10 of all time. Lyrics are outstanding and Liam’s vocal is the best since a young Jim Morrison
was there ever an old Jim Morrison? I know what you mean though,

i was listening and saying is got to be liam , it's imposible to sound so like him
the song and vocals are great but its still pictures of matchstick men which is also great so there we have it!!
