Back in the late 90s my boyfriend at the time worked for a glass company. He was sent to install stained glass at Colin's house in Topanga Canyon. I tagged along that day to help. I remember Colin as very kind, down to earth, and funny. He showed us his Grammy he had sitting on top of his fireplace mantle. We spent several hours there. Definitely something I'll never forget.
One of the best saxophonists and flutists ever. Rest in Peace Greg Ham
As compared to whom? First-year flutists and saxophonists can play the easy sax parts in Men At Work's simple pop music. Ever hear of Michael Brecker, John Coltrane, Wayne Shorter, Charlie Parker, George Howard, Tom Scott, or David Sanborn? You oughta listen to all of those guys and many more before you shoot your mouth off with a hilarious comment like that. Greg Ham is not even on the radar as saxophonists go.
@@artvandelay8090cry cry cry 😂😂😂
@@artvandelay8090 Music isn't a competion, it's an art that means feelings to each individual, take your jock mentality elsewhere.
@@PresenceUponMe You take it elsewhere. I'll call out ignorant and stupid comments whenever I feel like it. People like you hate to hear how ignorant you are, to the point of resisting learning. Why don't you shut up and learn something for a change? Too impatient? Too busy with your face buried in your phone?
@@artvandelay8090 Men at Work´s musician could play many instruments like in this video. Maybe the other saxophonists played different and more difficult genders, but Greg Ham could make history and gain fame with his own style.
Men at work saved me from a dark time in my mental health, LOVE THEM WITH ALL MY HEART
Amazing band. Stay with us, buddy. A new day is awaiting you.
That's the power of good music!
❤
Since I was a boy of 12 in 1983 and listening to Cargo and Business as usual LPs through dustbin like headphones played on and powered by my Uncle's Music Centre, Sir Hay has been a huge influence as to live life! Not trying to compare you to Jesus Colin but you are a secret modern day prophet to us mature generation 🙏
@@gregphillips.1312 Colin is a cool cat.
this band was far better than people thought..!!!
Their music still holds up, now 40 years later!
Totally forgot how GREAT this band was.
Overkill was on the airwaves at a time when my life was turned upside down on every single angle. Song was reassuring to me. That dreamy "ghosts appear and fade away" always made me weepy. I was right at that point where childhood is over and facing the future with a destructing and shattered family was so hard.
❤
Desejo que você fique bem. Um abraço.
I'm so sorry for what you went through. I can totally relate. At certain times in your life you re-evaluate life itself and it's not easy. I hope you are doing well now. God bless you.
@@richardmiller191 Life went on and all is good :-) God Bless you also!
Who can it be such an underrated song
Overkill is.
All the songs on the vídeo were huge hits , not underrated at all
@@gfgranja I know right, still on the radio everyday, maybe not overkill but...
Who rates them? Back-to-back hits until they had the bullshit lawsuit that killed the band.
Overkill burns a part of my soul with a fiery passion I cannot explain. A mix of emotions from brokenness, loneliness, anxiety, paranoia, and absolute ecstasy. Maybe its ’s just Overkill of emotions.
real musicians right here - u know they arent lip synching to any track - absolutely awesome
In 83 I was an aspiring teen drummer. My family got cable TV for the first time. MTV brought these bands from all over the world to my living room. I was in love with Heavy Metal. But there was such talent in bands like this. I was like a sponge, learning everything I could from bands like this. Colin's voice is amazing.
That was one year before I started playing drums.
I’m 25 yrd old from Queensland, Australia. Sad I will never be apart of a crowd like this with no phones, what a great connection between artist and crowd
Its a mistake was and still is 40 years later my favorite song!thank God for XM radio and Utube!
83 was without a doubt the best year for music in the 80's! U just had to be there to fully understand how wonderful the 80's were
Likewise the 70's
80 to 83 were amazing so miss the 1980s
What I was listening to a lot in the early 80s on my cassette tape playing sony walkman. Men at Work
I got to see them open for Fleetwood Mac back in the day. Great show!
Same here. Then almost a year later Mental As Anything opened for THEM! But after a year of touring, they were exhausted.
Woah, flute for flute
I saw them live in 83 in nyc. Afterwards, Colin Hay solo twice. Hes an unbelievable guitarist who really never misses a note. Just watch him.
For some reason Colin Hay makes me imagine a blend of David Byrne and Bon Scott. Much respect to a great, uplifting band.
Also he resembles actor Ralph Fiennes.
Only uane😮😅
Tres joyas de canciones, bellos los 80' gracias a hombres trabajando.😂😂😮
One of the best debut albums of all time! Overkill, from Cargo, a deep tune that touches the soul …
It's very good ... I remember claiming the same thing.
When it came out it was so fresh, so good, so catchy.
But now, 40yrs later?
I recognize how incredibly competitive "Best Debut Album" is.
Boston
The Cars
Van Halen
Led Zeppelin
Hendrix
Sade
Plus more recent examples;
Lorde
Billie Eilish
Hip Hop
NWA
Punk
The Clash
If you weren’t alive in ‘82-‘83 it’s extremely hard to emphasize just how HUGE Men At Work were!!!
These blokes exploded onto the scene from the land down under and took the world by storm.
The death knell came at the 1983 Grammy Awards when Men At Work took home the Best New Artist award.
An award that has jinxed many new bands over years including Milli Vanilli Shelby Lynne, Evanescence , Amy Winehouse , Sam Smith and Meghan Trainor. The award is said to send even the most talented into obscurity. There are many new artists who have won the new artist awards and gone onto greatness such as Beyoncé, Nora Jones, Christina Aguilera. But who knows?
to be fair milli vanilly doomed themselves
@@adjustableWench i love your name
@@GreatBowlsAfire haha sometimes i will go by universalWench or crescentWench - depends on my mood lol
These guys were all over the radio during the 80's.
Great memories.
Who can it be now is always stuck in my head, Such a classic
I saw Colin Hay’s solo concert in 2016. He was incredible! So funny, and a wonderful storyteller. He got very emotional talking about Greg passing away, the sax player from Men at Work. They were very close friends. If you ever have the opportunity to see him live, you must go. You won’t regret it 😊
Greg Ham R.I.P best mate ever..
Con Collins , los líderes de Men at work!
What a voice!!
great band
great band
Saw them in 1981, they owned the radio 📻 airwaves at that time. Great memories of my youth.
Awesome! I assume that you are from Australia since we did not get them here in the US until 1982. I wish I had the pleasure of seeing them in concert back in the day.
When "Cargo" their 2nd album came out THEY WERE SO FREAKING HUGE !!! MTV played the shit outta them and all the videos. They made what I thought Australia and Crocodile Dundee was.
Good shit grew up on this music it doesn't get any better Darwin Australia 😂😂
I never realized the tenor sax player was the organ player was the flute player was the soprano sax player. Very talented.
All great ! I listen this Beauty music in 2024 ..never dead
Overkill saved my life.
I guess I just always thought music would stay this great. I am thankful I grew up in the 80's, I salute all of you!
I have Overkill on my workout playlist.....pumps me up every time!!
Impressionante a qualidade do som que os caras faziam ao vivo!
Grandes Artistas Que Marcaron Mi Juventud...😅
Quanta riqueza, quanta originalidade! Saudosos anos em que havia um banquete musical para nossa apreciação!
Was at an outdoor free concert that featured Collin Hay. Passers by going about their business in the city had a passage way created between the stage and the crowd gathered to see Collin perform.
An intoxicated indigenous woman gave Colin an piece of verbal advice as she walked by. Colin immediately stopped the performance and absolutely sprayed the grub of a woman. It was a sight to see.
What did she say to Colin?
sprayed her with what
I really think a movie about this band would do amazingly well.
Timeless group. Always a favorite for the crowd.
Still great music.
Colin is one of Scotland's finest songwriters
Having seen many performances over the years, MAW maintained accuracy in their shows. Us novices know that it must be hard to do it the same way show after show and yet they stay true to the masterpieces they created.
Love these songs!!
This brings me such great memories of my senior year-1982. The early 80’s was the best in music.
♥️forever love this group, pulled out some great songs
Men at Work a loved band in Brazil.
アルト、ソプラノ、そしてフルート！グレッグハムすごいな
あと何気にオーバーキルのギターソロも素晴らしい出来。
It is listening to classical music in Rock rhythm....the best....❤❤❤
I love this song
Gracias MEN AT WORK...🎸🎸🎸🎷🥁🎤👍❤️
Brilliant blend piped music and state of top Aussie museos ❤
名曲盛りだくさんでイイ時代でしたねぇ
Got all the albums, brilliant band😁
Overkill et celle ci mes préférées 🎶💖
Thanks for sharing greetings from Veracruz, México.
Oh my god, is this absolutely amazing!! I truly love you kids!!
I love my life and this song is part of it.
Exccelent musical group! Congratulations!👏
I love this folks, so down to earth people
Saw them on this very World tour, Manchester UK and they were fantastic
Men at work marco en mi vida la la mejor música y una juventud plena de alegría y ritmo porque uno disfruta escuchar sus temas y sobre todo bailar exitos a todos.
Австралия привет из Перми. Слушаю вашу группу лет20
Was born in 1970 the 80’s were amazing..so great to see people living in the moment enjoying a performance and not documenting it to show everyone..
Can't imagine going from primary to high school without these guys, and girls. I'm so glad I (allegedly) grew up when I did, when music was music, just 4/5 muso's pumping out amazing original Aussie rock.
You simply can't beat the music and experience of the 80s
La mejor música Excelente Canción 1983 Hombre tradanjado 🎶🎵👍
Just loved this! Thanks for posting.
❤ show de banda 🎸🥰
One of the great voices, one of the great bands
A great 80’s band.
A sound all their own. Love those guys!
Men at work business as usual is one of my moat favorite albums. My son and I would toodle around in my Ranger truck, dreaming of going to the sea to find treasure. Priceless.
My favorite band in my youth ❤️ 💕
Love this song. Love MEN AT WORK.😊
Espectacular!!!
Adoro ouvir essa banda...🎷
Músicas lindas lembra minha juventude tempos maravilhoso s graças a DEUS
So brill, love it!
Got to see Collin here in Grand Rapids MI a few years back... He hasn't lost a thing! His voice is still so iconic and his voice sounded as great as if it were 1984 again... If you ever get the chance, it's worth the ticket!
Now that is what you call working a crowd!
I remember listening to men at work since the get go when they first came out they are absolutely class 👌🏴❤️
Nice song🎉
Wow! Excellent live!
Estuvieron en Lima,hace poco.....grandes...😊😊
80’s ❤❤❤
Danke fürs Senden ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Danke 😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉
My favourite crowd, I love the show of hands and no phones so much
Absolutely brilliant
Besides their undeniable musical talent and musicianship, what always stood out about Men At Work to me was the way quite some of their songs did not treat topics concerning mental health and existential dread not allegorically or in sarcastic or cynical ways (as was the norm), but in a very personal and vulnerable fashion. Them being "Aussie blokes" always made it all the more special.
Essa musica sempre sera um.simbolo.da eternidade no futuro.proximo.colin hay
Thanks!
This SLAPS
What a voice😮
Excelente Canción y música 1983👍🎶🎸🥁👌🕺🕺
My ears applause 👏👌🏽
CLASSIC..!!!!
I still can’t believe the world lost Greg over copyright issues which could have been avoided if the band had bought the copyright themselves for a few thousand dollars which would have avoided the horrendous and hugely expensive court cases. All because of a few thousand dollars which could have been wisely invested to protect them and ensure they stayed in complete control
Awesome ❤️
Por fin conocí quien estaba detras de esta famosa canción 😮😮😮 me tocó la mejor música de todos los tiempos y no lo sabía 😢😢😢
Awesome
Amazing! ✨💖✨
