Paul Reynolds was so flash on guitar 🎸. I remember wondering how he got that echo sound and I was impressed with his look and style. Incredible sound he got on guitar 🎸!
@@patriciacaruolo3132 He was amazing and then he partied so hard after every gig that he had to quit the band so he wouldn’t die. Now he doesn’t even play. But I’m glad he survived.
Check out AFOS official TH-cam channel and they go over recording this , instruments and settings , Paul used a 308Ms FX delay , think the video is called how to play I ran .
He started playing guitar when he was 10. Joined AFOS when he was just 17. So underrated & unappreciated. He had such a unique style. No one played like Reno.
@@haraldschafer4552 I agree from Hungary, i was just 20 years old, since that one of my favorites, in the socialism was a kicking hit without clip just in the radio, controlled by the communist system-regime!

I was 10 wen I first herd this song, it was late 82 maybe October and I was coming out of school and one one of the punk kids had it on his geto blaster. Holly family school Millbrook Southampton England. I still take a walk round sometimes and I can still feel the 80s there all the happy memories. Miss it.
That's so cool. Other than maybe being a Wall Street or Japanese stock broker, i'd say your age group got to experience the best part of the 80's decade lol.

One of the most popular songs ever in the 80’s hands down and then Mike Scores and the rest of the band became insanely rich again after this was in grand theft auto. Ohh did they make a killing from that video game with this song being so popular from it.

That's how most of those tv performances were back then. Bands had to fight tooth and nail to be able to play live on tv and most times it wasn't worth the hassle if they were trying to get exposure.
That haircut ...and this song...got them attention. Unfortunately,it was looked at as a gimmick and despite dropping it and releasing a few good songs,they were dead by '85
Merv was Hip for his age and had some great bands on his Show! I remember watching his show as a kid. He had Soft Cell on, too! This is great to see because I missed it the first time. I did see Soft Cell do Tainted Love. Those were carefree days back in the Seventies and Eighties. RIP Merv Griffin- By the way, he knew Trump and they didn’t get along. Merv said once that he wanted to take the T off of all Trump’s buildings. Good One, Merv! 😂🤣😅
The lead singer's hairstyle did come back briefly in an episode of Hawaii Five O (9th or 10th season). A passenger on a commercial jet was wearing that same exact style. Then it showed another passenger put a cigarette in his mouth. A female flight attendant quickly approached that passenger and offered him a lighter for his cigarette. Then it was revealed that the scene was actually a flash back (Lost style) that takes place in the mid 1980's, hence the '80's hair cuts. 😁 I think that jet later crashes into the ocean and then the scene moves to modern times with divers exploring the plane wreckage underwater and setting up the plot for the episode. Anyway, love the Seagulls' song!

Paul, teenage prodigy extrodianare. So talented and never got the recognition he deserved.

I actually went to this concert and went backstage and met all the guys in the band❤
I really dig my scores hairdo
I really dig Mike scores hairdo
New wave music had so many great songs with timeless melodies and wonderfully crafted production.
MASTERPIECE.
No matter how new wave, I always have liked this song
i like how the song is about a wife/Husband running from a UFO! but yes it has it has the seagull sound and new wave
Not a think wrong, with New Wave music. The Cars, Police, Blondie etc…

Tell me about it! ❤🌟, something about him!
He just had this aura about him.
🇧🇷❤AFOS❤❤❤❤❤
Lip syncing alive and well!
Another band from Liverpool!
Only they were a Flock of Seagulls.
Not Beatles. 😆
A lot of great bands came out of Liverpool in the late 70s/early 80s.... AFOS, OMD, Echo & the Bunnymen, China Crisis, The Teardrop Explodes...
😂 LUV THIS SONGS CAUSE MY SON'S😂 ❤
Nice Firebird .... was it a requirement that the guitars had bird names? .... could have went with a White Falcon too I guess....
The bass version is called a Thunderbird.
Guy on right sorta looks like a younger Rick Ocasek
That's Paul Reynolds. He was only 19 at the time this was filmed (though he looked younger). Total beast on the guitar.
Edge stole that guitar sound.
Oddly, they all look a lot thinner on this than their slightly later vids.
Did Mike score ever get off that Avenue😁
Se les conoce a distancia ( frace chilena)
Fuckin a! Thank you
Greatest haircut ever, or was it Carlos Valderrama?

I don’t think that host realised he was in the audience of greatness , Typical yanks . I think the band felt uneasy also
This would have been so much better if it was live...even at the start I was hoping that at least the vocals would be live, but no.
Go see them live if you want a live performance. They are touring the US this year. I got my tickets.

Amazing how they get that sound when the guitars aren’t even plugged in!🙄
Yes, it's lip synced. Quite common on talk shows of the time. American Bandstand and Soul Train even did it.
But! They sound just as good live!
lip sync lol
They were better than the Beatles almost
Lip sync. Sounds like studio version exact. Lame

Can't get past the Lip Sync Nonsense, I know, I Know, it's how they done it, I grew up that time frame, no lectures, but Garbage lip Sync Nonsense.

So embarrassing having to lip synch.
