Lol I.remember going to see them on acid myself in the mid-sized late 80' s in Planet X .Imagine trying to get this video approved today people with black make up..it would cause a riot😳😳I used to love the electo/psychedelic resurrection that came out the 80' s ..there were some brilliant bands who largely went unnoticed .
If you were unkind you could say they were a bit late. I guess they were too young to start in 1978 as a new wave act, but their talent is obvious from this amazing video. It always makes me cry with laughter.
First saw this clip on RAGE I videotaped as a kid would have been on at 2 am. Watched it long enough to have the tune stuck in my head with all the other useless crap in there. Love it!!
If there ever was a clearer example of how the Youth Of Today robbed themselves (and the rest of the world, in the process) of practically any chance of having some truly new, fresh, fundamentally edgy n relevant, possibly even revolutionary contemporary music... Just imagine this album being published today, some 35 years later :))
If Gaye Bykers On Acid started 20 years later with this clip, they'd have been slaughtered and boycotted by the music industry within a week. Blackface FTW!!
Thanks Robber I saw you perform '89 at Manchester Poly Students Union!! Sadly I heard you split up soon after that !! Never found out if it was true or why? Anyhoo ta mate x
F'ckin Nice one robberbyker---off the 'Drill your own hole' vid funny as fck----that last sample is off Monty pythons 'Meaning of life' GBOA miss your madness guys Slazmansamplefinder
There's a song - I think it's by GBOA - that contains the lyrics "don't take me down cos I've been there already, dum dum dum dum". Can you tell me what it's called?
seen them at edinburgh playhouse supporting the cult in 1987 i had front row seat and at only 15 years old i thought no one used a wahwah pedal more than jimi hendrix how i was wrong. i bought there album on tape i remember tv cabbage .. never seen them on top of the pop's haha fuckin pete waterman should have had them on the hitman and her .we all had to suffer that cheesy rave music with a old man dancing in a suit fuck. just shows you have to go out to get good entertainment
Man, i used to know every word to drill your own hole. Now i can just remember, "you blew it boys" and "after suck there's blow". Going to there site to buy the collection. Fucken love this stuff soooo much. And the bus from everywhere to nowhere was brilliant.

"Lesbian dope heads on mopeds"
Still gets me after all these years
The Queen's favourite band. FACT.
She loves them .. like meeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I am eternally grateful to Billy Joel for playing this clip when he guest programmed RAGE in 1991. This clip is timeless. :)

Had this on video tape and played it to death. So glad to find it again. Gaye Bykers Rock!

Love it!!
This and Nosedive Karma were absolutely mint.
Tremendous guitar. Tremendous bass. A stage show that out does the Stooges or the MC5. Too bad the record companies didn't promote them.
perceptive comment 👍🏾
Underrated and underappreciated!
to find this an remember the good ol day what a joy....
I remember this from new cross, one of the best live acts to see, amazing stage act. Love the cucumber.
Amersham Arms?
Their genius was very much under appreciated....
fantastic love it
always

Propoganda's review I read as a teen

That was great, I have to go and listen to 'Tolchocked By Kenny Pride' now.
They should have used buster poindexter as david was going by to intro this.were they part of that grebo scene?

Yes
This is filthy trash from the gutter of depravity and will corrupt people. I like it.
The vid for nirvanas in bloom totally ripped this off. What happened to our music scene ?

God, do I miss GBOA. How many of us in the States had such remarkable taste!?
Billy Joel does. I first heard about them when he played Git Down on Australian music show RAGE in 1991.

Some 35 years later, this is still one of my favorite albums of all time. The fact that I am commenting on a comment posted 10 years ago is wonderful.
