Eric was so underrated, I loved Les and Ian, but Eric was such a presence. He deserved better. He was so depressed, sad & lonely. He wanted a 'special someone'.
I feel so bad for all of them, for those of them that are still with us, because they got seriously screwed by their management! They made so much money for everyone except themselves.
OMG! Does this bring back memories!! I was a HUGE BCR fan! I had every single album of theirs! My bedroom wall was plastered with pics of them! Eric was my fave!
I m crying so wonderful singers I was teenie from 14 and today grandma from 62 But im loving Eric forever and Woody too Eric's eyes so blue It's magic RIP Les and Ian😢 I'm from Germany
This number along with Too Young To Rock And Roll as well as Money Honey and I Only Wanna Dance With You were basically my gateway into Heavy Metsl. They influenced Punk as The Ramones were looking for a Saturday Night like chant and came up with Blitzkrieg Bop. There's an old video of an interview with Joey and Dee Dee Ramone and Dee Dee was wearing a Bay City Rollers t shirt and Malcolm McLaren formed The Sex Pistols to compete with The Bay City Rollers. Deborah Harry said in an interview that the Bay City Rollers were a big Influence on Blondie. There is a Speed Metal band from here in Massachusetts called Wargasm. The drummer, Barry Spilberg, said in a 1988 interview that his musical journey started with The Bay City Rollers. Wargasm had the potential to be as big as Metallica but they signed a record deal with a Rao label thar buried their Punk/Metal acts like Motorhead.
I also remember seeing an old pic somewhere, in some magazine a long time ago of Blondie from their really early (first album) days, and Clem (Burke - their drummer) is holding a copy of the self-titled ‘76 Arista album in his hand, not to mention his hair at the time was the exact same haircut as Eric and Woody’s. It all checks out.
love the rollers .. saw them twice .. 1975 then their get back together tour then sadly alan then les passed away .. they will always be remembered im a roller fan ❣
i love looking back at the bands in their 1970's styles and platform boots etc those 70's bands will always live forever they had their own glam rock / bubble gum rock styles! keep groovin' baby!!
Missing U so much Ian and Les what a group love you rollers sorry U weren't given the credit guys . Always be a roller. Rest in peace guy's listening until l can't listen no more 😍😍😍👍👍💖💖
This clip of 'Rock n' Roller' is a classic! Eric counts them in, and they're off. Great filming, great sound and love the riff. Eric and Stu, the teen heart throbs, dominate this performance with their solo spots and Eric's guitar solo is a 'knockout'. You can tell they are all 'into it' here; no distractions; it's all about the music, so one of the best 'rock performances' emerges from this session. Thanks again to Janny. Regards, Jo.
i loved the rollers, they were my favourite band as a young lad, i wish ian had stayed longer, i went on to be a big punk fan and as far as i'm concerned the rollers weren't that different to punk, their influence on ramones is well documented, i think a lot of idiots are afraid to acknowledge these facts as it doesn't fit in to their silly, narrow minded view, rollers always remind me of docs red army, the man united football fans of 74/75, their look is very football terrace and of course the rollers golden era coincided with that time, great stuff
I think there’s definitely a punk connection to be made with the Rollers and punk. They kind of filled the gap between the end of glam and the earliest stirrings of punk in the UK. There was just something about ‘em.
If this video is live, where are the back line amps? , Where are the 'Foldbacks'?. Who's playing the lead riff when the boy with the dark hair, who is supposed to be the new Bassist!, Is further up his guitar neck , seemingly playing chords,and when Faulkner's right hand is clear of his string's ?!!. Who plays a crash cymbal at the end of a roll , mid track? It isn't the drummer, yet a crash cymbal is heard!🤷.
@@501sqn3 Whew! You sure do have a lot of questions, don’t ya? Good thing there’s a simple answer for every single one of ‘em. To answer question #1 - off camera. Just because they don’t appear in the frame doesn’t mean they weren’t in the room. Question #2 - I have no idea what you mean by a “foldback”. Could you be a little more specific please? Question #3 - the “boy with the dark hair” (they all had equally dark hair except for Derek) is Ian Mitchell, and on this song he switched off with Woody and is playing rhythm guitar here. Yes, Eric is playing the leads here, as he usually did. Aside from a slight sync discrepancy in the audio-to-video (a fairly standard problem with a lot of YT uploads), it appears to me that he is in fact playing his leads. Question #4 - Again, the audio and video are slightly out of sync here. I’m not sure what crash cymbal you’re referring to. It only takes a quick wrist reflex to hit a cymbal, so if you’re able to see every single cymbal splash normally when you watch these things then that’s pretty amazing. At any rate, if you’re even remotely familiar with the original studio recording of this song, then it’s very easy to *HEAR* that the audio here is live. For one thing it’s chock full of mistakes and quite sloppy. I was never trying to make a case that the Rollers were incredible musicians… only that they were capable musicians. It almost seems to me that going by the hyper-scrutinizing nature of your reply that you’re kind of over analyzing it a bit.
I get my kicks from rock and roll A 12 bar boogie gonna bless my soul Wanna dance to that rhythm Get down to that rockin' beat I don't wanna play no heavy jazz With high class music And its stuffed shirt nights 'Cos I wanna be a rock 'n roll star And make my money out of playing' guitar *Cos I'm a rock and roller I'm gonna rock it, gonna roll all over I'm gonna shake it to the midnight stroller, And rock the night away *repeat I don't wanna play no Memphis soul I don't want funk - just rock and roll Gonna dance to the rhythm get down to that rockin' beat Make my name in the headline news There I'm busted singin' the blues I must find myself a rock 'n roll band, I'll play my music just as fast as I can *chorus Okay people, Get your rockin' shoes on Stroll us with the Rock and roller, Rock and Roller yes I'm a rock and roller Yes I'm a rock and roller *chorus
Sun 20th March 2022 i am listening to the bay city rollers loved that band so many happy memories miss those days woody was my favourite ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Oh my goodness! Ian is so fine! I love all of them but he is my favorite. He always looks like he is having so much fun. Thanks for sharing this video.
Watching this one again! Just love it! All Rollers looking great ---- we see Ian on Rythm guitar and he looks nicely settled into the group. Special mention for Eric who looks extraordinarily handsome here (doesn't he always?) and some nice shots of his Lead Guitar work! We don't get much of a look at Derek who is always in back on drums, which is a pity, but the focus here is on the guitars and the shared singing. Thanks so much to Janny,. Regards, Jo.
Well done!!!!! Yup!!!! From Buena Park CA USA rest in peace Les and Ian!!! And forever my favorites!!! Also Alan and his brother Derek no one is perfect!!!!
I’m assuming you’re referring to the controversy surrounding Derek allegedly downloading child pornography to his pc? I’ve read more recent articles stating that it was staged by an obsessed fan who Derek was allowing to stay at his home at the time, but who really knows? They have always been stalked by creeps over the years, so it’s not a big stretch to think that could’ve been the case.
When I lived in the UK ppl told me they were just a bunch of yobs. They were rough alright. You don't have to read much on them to know it. Les burgled homes and ran over an elderly woman. She died. Pat got ran over by his bro. The BCR took drugs & drank. They loved to brawl. Pat kicked, punched & spat on his sister in law. Eric is an alcoholic. This is what you can expect from Scotsmen.
This is like the 4th or 5th video of theres in a row I've just watched where the video & music are not synced up. That being said I loved this band from about 9 to 12 years old mostly R&R love letter/Dedication albums. They had some great hard rock songs on those 2.. And I'm a straight guy. Weird right ? But it would be awesome to be in a band that 99% of your audience are female. haha
I'm not sure why some of the clips are so out of sync but I can only assume they were mass produced with poor equipment - I bought a lot of DVD's from Poland....If I tried to fix them I'm sure I'd make it worse!!
My husband loves Rush, Ozzy and lots of hard rock. That said, his very first "rock" album was BCR Rock 'n Roll Love Letter. His aunt got it for him for Christmas. He likes the Rollers early stuff, too. He doesn't mind listening along with me when I want to "fangirl" over my teen idols. They are underrated as a rock band. I like lots of hard stuff and glam rock and they are total glam rockers!! Long live BCR!!
@@lesabeaty7415 I loved this song and some of their harder stuff like Money Honey. Eric is a great guitar player and he can show it off in some of these "rockier" type songs. Lots of good stuff on Elevator too. I loved his fiddling in The Jig a lot too. He's multi-talented for sure.
I have this bootleg CD. They are miming to rerecording with Les' microphone live to ad lib a bit. Take note early in the vid that Erics low E string (highest string on guitar) is out of its guide groove and is very near the A string (next string down). Bet he didnt notice before the mime.
Tommy D This comment had to be from a guy lol. The rest of us are too busy ogling over the massive hotness that is BCR! Nice catch, I sure would have never seen it, I’m too busy with ooo look Ian smiled.

Can't believe it's been over 45 years and I still remember the words. Don't ask me what happened last week though. Good memories. I miss those days.
What happened last week
Good thing utube wasn’t a thing when I was a kid, I’d still be in my room ( I’m 60) Lol 😂 ❤😊
OMG! Does this bring back memories!! I was a HUGE BCR fan! I had every single album of theirs! My bedroom wall was plastered with pics of them! Eric was my fave!
I love this song. Eric really was pretty cute. I had a mad crush on Ian at the time. Several years ago I got to meet Woody. What a nice guy he was. 😊

Loved Ian so much! They had a big schedule. No wonder they lip-synced a lot.
Plus the fact you wouldn't have been able to hear them.

Hello friend
For all the naysayers who claim that the Rollers only ever lip-synced, here ya go. This is obviously a live recording, and it’s great.
If this video is live, where are the back line amps? , Where are the 'Foldbacks'?. Who's playing the lead riff when the boy with the dark hair, who is supposed to be the new Bassist!, Is further up his guitar neck , seemingly playing chords,and when Faulkner's right hand is clear of his string's ?!!.

Ahhh, Errriccc......😍🥰🥰🤩
I get my kicks from rock and roll
A 12 bar boogie gonna bless my soul
Wanna dance to that rhythm
Get down to that rockin' beat
I don't wanna play no heavy jazz
With high class music
And its stuffed shirt nights
'Cos I wanna be a rock 'n roll star
And make my money out of playing' guitar
*Cos I'm a rock and roller
I'm gonna rock it, gonna roll all over
I'm gonna shake it to the midnight stroller,
And rock the night away
*repeat
I don't wanna play no Memphis soul
I don't want funk - just rock and roll
Gonna dance to the rhythm get down to that rockin' beat
Make my name in the headline news
There I'm busted singin' the blues
I must find myself a rock 'n roll band,
I'll play my music just as fast as I can
*chorus
Okay people,
Get your rockin' shoes on
Stroll us with the
Rock and roller,
Rock and Roller
yes I'm a rock and roller
Yes I'm a rock and roller
*chorus
Awesome! Thanks 👍
Thanks for helping us out with the lyrics!
A friend of mine used to think Woody was saying "I'll play my music just as best as I can."
This is my favourite rock and roll song. Great stage performance here!

Hello Krissi
I know it's been so long but you still remember the words
A great power pop band of the early 70's. They got the power, and they most certainly were a pop band. I think they're great.
The Rollers were equal parts power pop, glam, bubblegum, hard rock, and a dose of punk. All good stuff.
Eric is lovely
Hello Glenys
LOL. Can't take my eyes off him! 💓
Great I wish i could turn back the time...Thanks Janny

One of their heavier tunes, just kicks! Cool to hear it played live.
I always loved their more “rocked up” songs. They did it well. You can definitely hear the punk connection on a few of their songs.
Definitely proving that they can play their own instruments.

I have this bootleg CD. They are miming to rerecording with Les' microphone live to ad lib a bit. Take note early in the vid that Erics low E string (highest string on guitar) is out of its guide groove and is very near the A string (next string down). Bet he didnt notice before the mime.
