Los ví en Tudela de Duero, cerca de Valladolid, España. Tenían un directo bestial, uno de los mejores que recuerdo. Y una actitud arrogante a más no poder. Puro R&R
These guys were so lit. And Peter is an ace front man, very original in his vocal delivery a la John lydon. Saw them in Philly during the More Songs tour, sounded great.

Una de las BANDAS SONORAS de mi vida. I love for ever The Godfathers!
DEJA VU ALL OVER AGAI! I saw the band on this tour at the starry night in Portland Oregon. same clothes and everything!! I got to go upstairs and meet them after the gig. . the brothers, the vocalist and the lead guitarist were not fond of one another. the singer was a prima donna - he was so BORED with it all.... he knew he was a jerk and didn't care. that attitude drove the guitar playing brother nuts - he was very friendly...they had nieces and nephews the same age as my son and we laughed at the things that little boys could get into. plus we were both really into roots reggae . he talked about missing his family - big family.. I took 4 members of the band, including the "nice" coyne brother, to Powells bookstore at about 1am - , we had a blast..standing outside having a smoke, we .got mooned by a load of people in a passing van - the guys loved it..the best break on tour they had...they were really relaxed when I brought them to their hotel. I saw them again same tour at the tail end and man they were burnt out. the brothers were at each other's throat and everybody hated the singer - he was so critical of everything. I mentioned to the guitar playing brother I had been reading that many up and coming grunge/punk bands were citing the godfathers as influences on their music. he was genuinely touched and surprised,. they really did a grind on that tour. I got a note from their manager a few months later saying the brothers had split and the band was over...I lost track after that....
@@themillwall442 yah i reckon so if you're going to troll me, what's your best godfather story? the one where you got a really cool sweater from your real godfather?
Yes, great story. One of the guitar players, Kris Dollimore, is still putting out music. It’s acoustic, bluesy, a lot of finger picking and slide. Quite a guitarist.
they really did grinding tours overseas and the two brothers really hated and were really bitter with each other. IRL a murder grown out of emotion very well could have happened.
AWESOME post thank you!! I keep mentioning the phrase to the general public no one has a clue I'm quoting the band. I mention the name. Who? Obviously they missed the boat. LOL
Yeah it still jeep passing it on. Try to. Most get it. They never heard of the GODFATHERS but again spread the LOVE this song I HAVE on original CD single. It truly ROCKS THANKS!
I only saw them live once. And, it might very well been this tour had that one come through Atlanta, Ga. I recall it was in August and the A/C in that little club wasn't working well. . if at all. Everyone was sweating like pigs. Nonetheless, I remember the show as being very good. Upbeat and full of energy. It's too bad they didn't hit around the early '80s or even a bit later. By the time they peaked, grunge was taking over. Fond memories of this song.
great live rendition...funny how a song can be so good based 90% on guitar lines and lyrics. Melody of song itself on this is pretty pedestrian - almost talked/shouted (maybe even snarled) and still... as a song....great!
they did a video of Birth School Work Death and "Cause I Said So' - a song my 10 yr old loved and pitted me against. i worked at a quirky little tv station, KOZY TV and we were sent both Godfather videos on the professional huge cartridge tape format. Promotors did that and there weren't too many music video shows besides MTV - we broke the godfathers and A-Has" hit Take on Me." we even had an actual rotoscoped cell from their video. framed up on the wall.
@@domestikgoddez9823 ... i just found the videos. thanks for the heads-up. i wish they'd made videos for "i want everything" and "this damn nation" my two favorite godfather songs.
Each and every time I come back for this song, I have to listen for several times. It's simply iconic, and just to good.
What a fucking great band. They came to Sydney around 1990. Saw a few gigs. Tore the place up. GO BOYZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
God we were lucky to be alive then, because this stuff only happens once...
A perfect comment.
@@sfbayareagirl It was an awesome time! Got goosebumps listening to this again and watching the crowd rock out. I miss my old SF and N. Cali, too.
@@wordup897 yeahhhh! It was, indeed, a great time to be alive.
That guitar player though, during the break, going at it with the crowd!

They pretty much sum up life in four words. Genius.
ya - just four words. good catch
play me just one song these days that grooves like this one........timeless
Saw ‘em at The Chestnut Cabaret in Philly around this time and this captures the vibe. Such a great live band!
Yeah, me too during the More Songs tour. Very stellar.
hell yeah it does! I remember coming home from class and seeing this on MTV . i HIT RECORD AND i KNEW IT WAS SOMETHING SPECIAL
Saw them at The Ritz in NYC in 88' In Living Color opened up for them!
Soooo lucky
I was at the same show. It was great.
Cabaret Metro, Chicago, August 4, 1989. Great band.
This was the first show my dad took me to when i was 13 at tge metro. Ive been hooked since

I enjoyed the story, thanks for sharing it, it really does she'd light on the machinations behind the scenes, what a waste of talent really
Yes, great story. One of the guitar players, Kris Dollimore, is still putting out music. It’s acoustic, bluesy, a lot of finger picking and slide. Quite a guitarist.
@@badfinger524 yeah.. a lot of his work set the band heads above other "punk" bands. every song had a good running rhythm and nice, licked breaks..
What a great rock voice, they should have been massive
they really did grinding tours overseas and the two brothers really hated and were really bitter with each other. IRL a murder grown out of emotion very well could have happened.
Un slogan , qui , lorsqu'il est rentre dans ta tete , n'en ressort plus ! Godfather...energie , electricite...eternel !! 👀☠️🎸☠️👁️👁️🇨🇵👍🙋
Awesome rock!
Could have been a song in 2017. Cynisism at its top, and rightfully so. Great band. Should have been bigger at the time.
Love it
Cause i said so levelllllk😊😎💪😎💪
I heard this song on the way to vote yesterday!!! I saw them perform this in Chicago at the Metropolitan.....
they got a three record deal, made the three and the Company said, "nah"
but..........these guys were The Hives, before The Hives
Amazing!
Me too, I saw in Granada, Spain. Marcha a Topeeeee
AWESOME post thank you!! I keep mentioning the phrase to the general public no one has a clue I'm quoting the band. I mention the name. Who? Obviously they missed the boat. LOL

My band got to open up for them in Valencia, Spain, this same year, i think
So good.
Geniales y contundentes!!!

one of my favorite bands of the 80s. and there weren't too many of them, why didn't they make any music videos from the decade of "music videos?"
they did a video of Birth School Work Death and "Cause I Said So' - a song my 10 yr old loved and pitted me against.

So fine. So God Damn Fine.
School
This is just sooo fuckin good, why arnt the original band still doing it, these guys should be headlong Reading now !
Visti a Londra nel 1987 assolutamente devastanti
. . . . Ho un loro disco , senza copertina sul quale non c'è scritto nulla , solo con shazam ho scoperto cos'era!
Boy I'll say!
Awesome...I'm guessing you don't write songs like that unless you grew up tough
WHAT'S THE USE OF LIVING IF THAT IS ALL TO IT?
A song the orange jist don’t get
Birth
He missed out 'retirement'.
with pensions where there at we are working till we drop😥
Dear Jack Terricloth, what the fuck did this link have to do with what you typed?
Death
give me my tommy gun and finest cuban lights
Tooo fast
Sigh... I sure wish that band could have survived the singer's obnoxity.
