As far as the Georgia Satellites are concerned, these guys would just come out on stage and ROCK IT! They do a live gig, and they sound just like their studio recordings! THATS AWESOME!!! Rock and Roll doesn't have to be complicated, these guys took Rock and Roll, threw in Southern fried rock and let it rip!!! We need music like this again! Are you reading this record company executives? Get your heads out of your asses!!!! Bring back ROCK AND ROLL!!!
Damn I never got to see these guys in the 80's. They are one of the few 80's bands I would go out of my way to see if they ever were to play in my area.
WOW! I even enjoyed this vid more than the last one I heard. Dig that chick dancing on the stage... just like they did back in the '60's! LOL Fantastic bass line too (gotsta learn it)... Great, entertaining video! ~Carla :-)
Saw the Satellites play way back in 80s in what was then the most bombed hotel in the world, The Europa Hotel, Belfast. We were a bunch of Firefighters on a night out with wives & girlfriends. Could not believe my eyes when I noticed the bar in the hall was open for business an guess what, there were no fights. Amazin night and even though their music is a bit basic I've been a fan ever since.
Just my opinion, MTV reached it's peak right here. It's been a down-hell slide into oblivion ever since. But I'm old so what do I know. You're listening to the Rolling Stones with a southern accent. That's who the Georgia Satellites are. Here in Tennessee, that's a good thang.
1987 MTV New Years bash at the former Manhattan Center on w34th St. I say this because I was there, and if I don't benchmark it somehow I'll lose it to my memory forever. Pathetic, I know. I hate getting old.
Just think of playing this song after we've gotten rid of this fucking virus. All the people going wild and just having a good time like it used to be.
@JEDIALADDIN, I hope you are right! If I could tell one thing to young people of today is that, don't discredit music from 30 decades ago or more. If you do your own research, you will find the history of Rock and Roll an amazing ride! To the young folks looking to the past to find musical inspiration, that's the best place to start!! Like Bob Seger once said,' today's music ain't got the same soul"!!!! Enjoy!!!
Georgia Satellite was playing this way before Slash made a sensation...but, bands borrow from other bands for their shows... example- I was doing a fire breathing act on stage long before Kiss were recording stars.
@charger19691 I agree....today's music IS garbage, but us Rock N Roll GODZ don't need to destroy the Earth yet....it looks like millions of kids today are going back to the 70's or so to pick up our ROCK and make it theirs. I am proud of them.
most important is that in the video you can actually watch the guitarist or vocalist actually play. they don't do the hyperspeed video edits that makes it impossible to enjoy cool-rock-star moves. just my 2cents
@zachdewall , actually, Slash and G.n'R. were good friends with Satellite's guitarist, Rick Richards. Nobody wasn't copying anybody, 'cause they all are too cool for that. By the way, after Georgia Satellites had disbanded, Richards played with Izzy Stradlin' a lot. Cool video! Thanks a lot!! Btw, Rick Price, the bass player, was outta tune... probably wasted since it was a New Year's Eve! ))) Great stuff!
@crazyman8472 Nope, these guys first album, including this song, came out in 86. Ever occur to you that Rick Richards and Slash listen to the same old records?
back when MTV was cool to watch...great live performances and real artists not like most of the manufactured crap they sell on american idol and other kiss ass shows.Bring back the real artists.
ONE OTHEER THING, THE GEORGIA SATELLITES DEBUT ALBUM REMINDS ME OF MONTROSE'S DEBUT ALBUM IE THE WHOLE ALBUM KICKED ASS (WHICH IS KIND OF RARE) HOWEVER THEIR SOPHOMORE EFFORT 'PAPER MONEY' WAS NO WHERE NEAR THEIR DEBUT,THE SAME WITH THE SATELLITES. AFTER THEIR SECOND ALBUM, DAN BAIRD LEFT TO PURSUE A SOLO CAREER,THUS THE END OF THE SATELLITES. RIP
@RockingHardV3 "Appetite for Destruction" was released in July of '87, and this December '87, so yeah, the guy is totally copying Slash. And I like it! :)
@willyandthepoorboys, it makes me happy to see that many people agree with me, What the Hell happened to the music industry? I swear record labels look for the most worthless talent and then invest millions shaping them into talentless ass shakers that cannot play instruments or carry a tune even if it had handles on it! I'll take music from the past any day over this dogshit we are force fed everyday. Bring back REAL MUSIC and REAL MUSICIANS!!!
Limewire??? Exactly what I thought. You have an mp3 on your computer that is mislabeled. It's nuts how many mp3s on those file sharing sites give credit to the wrong artist. Search for a Georgia Satellites mp3 of "keep your hands to yourself". I bet its the exact same recording.
Can anyone tell me why it's impossible to find on youTube the original video clip of this song? There's just a parody with original images and other lyrics.

This is what we should teach all ladies in training these words. I love this version!!!
These guys make the guitars scream..They are fantastic..
Damn I never got to see these guys in the 80's. They are one of the few 80's bands I would go out of my way to see if they ever were to play in my area.
This song was super popular when it came out, and I still consider it one of the best R&R songs of all time.
a real cool rock band ...talent doesn't mean money
long live the satellites
The best Damn Southern Rock song ever written! Bar none!
Such a great song! Brilliant!
THIS is rock 'n roll!
WOW! I even enjoyed this vid more than the last one I heard. Dig that chick dancing on the stage... just like they did back in the '60's! LOL Fantastic bass line too (gotsta learn it)... Great, entertaining video!
~Carla :-)
never seen them playin live ever ... awesome ... thanks.
Awesome version.
5 stars.
&MrJed50, you are so right! I miss the days of real musicians and real music!
Love playing this tune.
Funny I was born 2 weeks before this concert, ha.
Pure Rock n Roll! Once Bitten that's it your hooked.

Webb Wilder, another amazing artist :)

Better than in the studio..Great gig...
Ah, the good ol' days!
FANTASTIC !!!!!!
Thanks
Sad demise and massive decline, not everyone is taken in by the hip hop rap dance thing, rock n roll will never die
Les Paul jr and a Telecaster
My favorite mix!!!
Awesome song.
ahhh......talent, what a concept......
The real deal! All those "karaokhe" versions drifting around sickens me.
Thanks.
Just my opinion, MTV reached it's peak right here. It's been a down-hell slide into oblivion ever since. But I'm old so what do I know. You're listening to the Rolling Stones with a southern accent. That's who the Georgia Satellites are.

Great song by a very underrated band. The girl in the toga thing is hot as hell!

This is awesome

Great rhythm guitar

Rompin' Stompin' Rock n' Roll. Southern boys have a good hold on the concept....
my fav song

I had to come here to check this out..I'm singing it tonight at the club and forgot the lyrics XD
Just think of playing this song after we've gotten rid of this fucking virus. All the people going wild and just having a good time like it used to be.
Fantastic
Love you!

Real Rock and Roll!!!!

God he has glorious hair.
2:07 that dude with the suit probably went to the wrong concert, but like it so much that he stayed.
@charger19691 I agree....today's music IS garbage, but us Rock N Roll GODZ don't need to destroy the Earth yet....it looks like millions of kids today are going back to the 70's or so to pick up our ROCK and make it theirs. I am proud of them.
AHHH ROCK IT!!
@RockingHardV3 You are soooo right; we had a different style in the 80's ... and that's NOT a mullet :~D)))))
Classic.....check out the way we play it!
Charger 19691 said it perfectly!
the guy in the tux between 2:08 - 2:11

Classic rock played by stallone movie, the expendables!

she said give me another line and zip it up yourself!
Right on man.
@zachdewall , actually, Slash and G.n'R. were good friends with Satellite's guitarist, Rick Richards. Nobody wasn't copying anybody, 'cause they all are too cool for that.

Cool video! Thanks a lot!! Btw, Rick Price, the bass player, was outta tune... probably wasted since it was a New Year's Eve! ))) Great stuff!
Love this song...Don't understand the video behind it though
@Trepsik I wish MTV would go back to bein' MUSIC YV.. :D
i was 9 years old. fuckin a i was nine. gdamn i feel old. fuck me running!!!!
Is this a joke? This country song has been the center of jokes among my friends and i for weeks now. Lulz
T REX HAD THAT LOOK 40 YEARS AGO. DO YOU REMEMBER THE ALBUM T REX " THE SLIDER"?
@crazyman8472
Nope, these guys first album, including this song, came out in 86. Ever occur to you that Rick Richards and Slash listen to the same old records?
back when MTV was cool to watch...great live performances and real artists not like most of the manufactured crap they sell on american idol and other kiss ass shows.Bring back the real artists.
Damm i remember when my girl went all christian on me and i said "Girl this is your song"!!!!! LOL!!!!!
Dan Baird. Check out his singles too.
no no no. dog has the ultimate mullet. haha. if i were to grow a mullet, i'd want it to be like dog's.
Achtung: DAN BAIRD (Ex-GEORGIA SATELLITES) & HOMEMADE SIN spielen im Landespavillon Stuttgart am Di., 27.9.2011, 20.00 h
Around that phase, a LOT of guitarists were going for the Jimmy Page look....
no, that's Rick Richards. He played with Izzy Stradlin after this, so I guess Izzy liked the style and look of Rick and Slash.
The Anerican Status Quo!
I didnt say I just searched on youtube. Search anywhere. Send me a link when you find info that Thorogood covered this song.
ONE OTHEER THING, THE GEORGIA SATELLITES DEBUT ALBUM REMINDS ME OF MONTROSE'S DEBUT ALBUM IE THE WHOLE ALBUM KICKED ASS (WHICH IS KIND OF RARE) HOWEVER THEIR SOPHOMORE EFFORT 'PAPER MONEY' WAS NO WHERE NEAR THEIR DEBUT,THE SAME WITH THE SATELLITES.

true
Donald Marshall wrote the lyrics to this song.
@wittomee Thats because theyre southern and they wrote the song.
@RockingHardV3 "Appetite for Destruction" was released in July of '87, and this December '87, so yeah, the guy is totally copying Slash. And I like it! :)

Gene Simmons without the kiss make up, his hair put down, and him wearing a leather drench coat
in fact, everyone is COMPLETELY SMASHED!
wow this must've been back when MTV was actually MUSIC television, not freaks in a house gone wild tv. wonder if we could sue em for the name now??
@Clutchmaster91 I think she/he means Mullet Festival.
Limewire??? Exactly what I thought. You have an mp3 on your computer that is mislabeled. It's nuts how many mp3s on those file sharing sites give credit to the wrong artist. Search for a Georgia Satellites mp3 of "keep your hands to yourself". I bet its the exact same recording.
@Clutchmaster91 :'bout Slash,I think it might be the other way around..
Dan Baird rocks
does anyone else think the guitar bit at the beginning sounds like t rex- bang a gong?
HOLY SHIT, SLASH
TTT MOTHER SCRATCHIN REXXXXXXX
Oh and Im a Georgia peach and I aint no hillbilly
Can anyone tell me why it's impossible to find on youTube the original video clip of this song? There's just a parody with original images and other lyrics.
