I grew up in the 1960s and remember Brian Jones in the stones and all of a sudden you never heard of him. This video is so good and I love it! It is like spending a day in 1968….
The irony of a song about Brian Jones themed around some Keef-alike riffing is not lost on me. But it doesn't detract from one of the best singles of the 1980s. Stomper!
What an incredible song. I never thought a band could be this good. I got the same feeling when I heard Joy Divison the first time. Thank God for youtube.
I do not Do Heros...but Gen is VERY important to me, and has been for DECADES...RIP Jane....Pariah Thistledowne prays the best for you girls. TrueLove!
Hi Sandy hope your well Alex really has amazing talent , nice to see your comment think i met you year or two after i met Alex 1974 in Renfrew . lovey tune great band I have some photos i was asked to take by Alex with PTV at Nightmoves Glasgow .
I cant stop watching this. It's addictive, Lynchian brain mush and hypnotic to say the least. Looking forward to watching it again in a week or so and rating it a cool 5, again.
Great tribute to Brian. According to Genesis, Rolling Stones management called Radio One and told them to stop playing Godstar (after it was becoming a hit) or they wouldn’t be allowed to play Rolling Stones music. Godstar was never played again
Metallica said they supported the Stones and before gigs if Jagger was walking around backstage you were under strict instructions not to make eye contact with him . What a twat
This is a story, a very special story. It′s about Brian Jones, one of the Rolling Stones. Where were you when the stars went out? Where were you when they started to shout? I saw you alone by the pool, And all your friends called you a fool. Godstar, Godstar. Godstar, Godstar. Godstar, Godstar. God...star. And you were so beautiful, you were so very special, I wish I was with you now, I wish I could save you somehow. Godstar, Godstar. Godstar, Godstar. Godstar, Godstar. God...star.

OMG.... this song and musical movement was so much fun and honest music... I long for this genre to come back.... One word to describe this music...BEAUTIFUL
Loved this song when it came out in the 80s in Blighty. Last time I heard it was at the Horrors gig in Vancouver. The DJ put it on, and I fell in love with it again !
My new favorite old song. One of the things I like is how Gen gives a preface first, about the song. It's perfect logic, before diving into the psychedelic netherworld. Great beat too.
Good song from 87, imagine this played before a stones gig.;) Wish this had been in the soundtrack of that recent biopic of Brian Jones, would have gone well. PsychicTv thinking about someone elses music, another plus.
I remember my friend trying to keep up with album releases. You needed a voucher or something inside the previous album in order to purchase the next. Unfortunately he sold all his album collection including my Cabaret Voltaire set I gave for safe keeping moving to Hawaii.

Having been born and brought up in the Manchester area that is no Manc accent .Perhaps it's a mockney accent or a mock up of a Man United supporter's cockney accent !?
True enough his family did move about a bit so maybe he lost it a bit and I guess there was a bit of a tendency for mockney back then but he was born and bred in Manchester. Anyway he's not a cockney which is my basic point.
and it's a fair point.He sounds like he comes from London to my northern ears (granted that true cockneys are born within the sound of Bow bells ) but in truth he doesn't .
A great musician, one of the best with 20+ instruments mastered; but Keith had the ascendency where it mattered: creatively. xx but we miss you baby xx you started it all xx
a wonderful song, dedicated to a darling of the gods who passed away much too early. But, to be honest: Mick Taylor, he was also a brilliant musician and a worthy successor (but never had Brians style of course) And then, Ron Wood appeared...the best to say about him is, he ...okay, I don't know anything positive to say.
I bought years ago a music magazine.The headtopic was the death of Brian Jones.When you have read the article you believe that he was murdered.Great tribute song of Psychic Tv!! I have this 12".
RIP our "Godstar" Genesis P Orridge

" They started to steal your glory. They never even told your story". Are you listening Mick & Keith?..........
Max 820 they hated it, couldn't deal with the truth
Exactly
Genesis knew all about trying to steal someone elses glory, at least according to Cosey

Joy Division is one of the most influential bands of this century and yet SO underrated

Calm down

And where were all of your laughing friends?
Where were they at the very end?
They started to steal your glory
They never even told your story
I remember Radio 1 Newsbeat doing a feature on this song when it was released.
I’m guessing the living Stones took umbrage at the insinuation they left Brian behind to his self-destructive tendencies...which they did.
That’s such a bullshit situation, the FUCKEN Stones management threatening a radio station. It’s censorship and Orwellian.
Metallica said they supported the Stones and before gigs if Jagger was walking around backstage you were under strict instructions not to make eye contact with him . What a twat
This is a story, a very special story.
It′s about Brian Jones, one of the Rolling Stones.
Where were you when the stars went out?

Where were all your friends that night
As you switched off the final light?
I saw your body in the water
Like a lamb going to the slaughter
And where were all of your laughing friends?

Love it🤩🥰🥰🥰🥰
You're fucked up
Brian Jones was a naturally talented musician. Could play any instrument he put his mind to.
Brings back memories of alternative night at Martine's in Portsmouth with DJ Hammy back in the 80s
Loved this song when it came out in the 80s in Blighty. Last time I heard it was at the Horrors gig in Vancouver. The DJ put it on, and I fell in love with it again !
Rest well Brian and Genesis. two legends....
I used to live 3 doors from Genesis in Hackney back in the 80's, top bloke. btw, this vid needs more 12" remix goodness!

THANK YOU for creating this for my Cherished Friend [since the late 1980's] who is now a GOD STAR Genesis [RIP]!
I think Genesis is with Brian right now ❤️
Best tribute song ever made
Genesis you were also so beautiful and very special🖤
昔サイキックTVの東京ライブ行きました。有名人が結構来ていました。
'it's about brian jones .. one of the rolling stones'
Love this song, Got the vinyl around somewhere & saw them live in Amsterdam 1989
Brian Jones and Genesis are both godstars!!!! Rest In power!!
My new favorite old song. One of the things I like is how Gen gives a preface first, about the song. It's perfect logic, before diving into the psychedelic netherworld. Great beat too.
That shimmering detuned synth towards the end sounds like the heavens opening
Ciarán Byrne he was taking his final breaths
... and they did today. RIP
Syd Barrett was a genius to play mad. Kept him alive. RIP Brian and Genesis.
@spiffster9 It was originally released as a single in 1985, and later featured as part of their 1988 album 'Allegory & Self'.
you are in the light now to meet with your others - sleep sweet soul, you are in your waiting period of expanded soul
💖💖💖
This song brought me to a Brian Jones existence, and I'm glad G. P. Sung about his story
beautifull tribute to brian jones
A very fitting tribute to Brian Jones. Another talented person taken before the age of 30...
Good song from 87, imagine this played before a stones gig.;) Wish this had been in the soundtrack of that recent biopic of Brian Jones, would have gone well.

No one ever mentions the guitar lick is from the stones song Brown Sugar.

what a beautiful song
Its like walking in to a dive bar on karaoke night.
This song just inspired me to start a band. I found it. I win.
Did you ever start your band?
THE BEST SONG....... EVER WRITTEN
NO WAY!
A VERY SPECIAL STORY!
Beautiful video, great song, a far cry from Throbbing Gristle!
I think I hear samples of Brown Sugar (the guitar riff) and Start Me Up (the hand claps)...
@Xavromor I totally agree (although he had long since left the band by the time they recorded Godstar)
I like this song very much and I press replay many times and listen to it again and again just because I like it and surely that can only be a good thing in this Godforsaken world that we all inhabit...tbc
This song brings a tear to my eye
55 years today he was leaving this planet, ILY Brian
ths song is awesome ..a spark in mr genesis" mind...
Amazing in every way. Total triumph. 2 Middle Fingers Way, Wayyyy up to all.
As minhas mais belas recordações dos 80's.
Thanks, P-Orridge for a really cool tribute to BJ. I like it a lot!
"....you were so very special..."
A wonderful song ,made all the better for Mr P Orridge's snarling cockney vocals.I bet he can play the spoons really well too .
Gen isn't a cockney. He's from Manchester.
everyone who hears an accent like that says "cockney" lmao i cant fucking wrap my head around it
Having been born and brought up in the Manchester area that is no Manc accent .Perhaps it's a mockney accent or a mock up of a Man United supporter's cockney accent !?

Just started listening to this band a little more and I have to say.....I enjoy this.
effing brilliant to find some of Psychic TV here. I guess this is the most accessible
Love the video. Syncronised dancing! Fez, lets dance once more, you damn god star!
RIP Genesis xxx
Brilliant song/video! Brian Jones really did get a raw deal
i love genesis so very much, but i can help but crack up when i see him siging in this video.

But, to be honest: Mick Taylor, he was also a brilliant musician and a worthy successor (but never had Brians style of course)
And then, Ron Wood appeared...the best to say about him is, he ...okay, I don't know anything positive to say.

@@keithharvey6354 ...are we talking about music or social behaviour?
funny how a post-BJ Stones riff (Brown Sugar) is alluded to
Saw these live in Sheffield 86. Wow the lead singe Odritch p oranage or something is insane but great song
Godstar the band will be famous one day
i could never get into any of the other psychic tv jams they just werent as friggin catchy and awesome as this
Happy birthday Brian
I remember the 1st time I heard this song!!!!!
r.i.p. s/he was a legend
Bought this on 12" back in the day, still a great track today ! ( And yes ,I still got the record )
A gr8 song and tribute 😢
The 47 dislikes are the friends that weren't there that night, as he switched off the final light.
Rest in peace 🤲✨💗Thank you for all you did.
this tripped me out when i first saw it. gen is a lady now. throbbing gristle opened the door to coil for me and coil is perfect.

A touching tributr to Brian Jones who died exactly 40 years ago.
Holysht! Closer like 50 years now right!!??
Beggars belief - where did all that time go?
now the 80s was 40 years ago and the 60s are closer to 60 years ago wow
