Bluewolf Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Back in the day when you could make a video for about £50 Bad Manners ' Walking in the Sunshine' ( 1981 ) True Story Section... Frontman Buster Bloodvessel got them all banned from Italian TV after mooning the concert audience when he heard the Pope was watching... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted August 21, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted August 21, 2019 I was going to say that 50 quid got you a lot back in the day. Wine, beach balls, shorts, shirts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably borrowed the clothing off some mates (I know ive done that when I started gigging haha). But 73p for a pint is ridiculous what does it cost now?

Probably explains why someone posted about a 200 dollar video somewhere although you could probably setup something very good with about 500 is my guess.

Bluewolf Posted August 22, 2019 Author Share Posted August 22, 2019 10cc 'Dreadlock Holiday' 1978 True Story Section... Dreadlock Holiday was based on a real experience that Eric Stuart and Moody Blues singer Justin Haywood experienced while on holiday in Barbados, however Stewart changed the location to Jamaica, Graham Gouldman said that some of the events that are mentioned are true, some are.. fairly true!

Bluewolf Posted August 25, 2019 Author Share Posted August 25, 2019 ABC 'The look of Love' 1982 True Story Section... The Look of Love is not the chirpy upbeat song you might think it is, Lead singer Martin Fry said it's genuinely about that moment where it all goes wrong and you get your fucking teeth kicked in when someone leaves you and you feel totally shit and you are scrambling around trying to find some meaning in your life..

I think its also a symptom of the time, that synth sound actually can't be made to sound melancholic in any way. Even that Eurthymics classic Sweet Dreams is not an upbeat song but the running line in the back makes it seem like it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
