Blood &Roses!

Great song still after 40years

Love that band. They delivered the goods.

The Smithereens still rule in '24! RIP Pat.

Not too many bands have a TRULY instantly recognizable sound. The Smithereens did. They were awesome.

This song still sounds great in 2024

Haven't Heard this song in yearssss Thankfully for the 80's music app i listen too .

4 Chord masterpiece!

I remember buying the cassette tape (google it) of their album "Especially For You" because of hearing "Blood and Roses" on MTV (when MTV played music videos). I did that from time to time, buy albums for hearing just 1 song to check the band out. Bands like Ultravox, Icehouse, later Enuff-Z'nuff, Kix, and many others. When my older brother saw the Smithereens' album I bought, he was so mad. See, my brother played at the same time in a semi-popular band at many of the same venues in NJ and NYC as them... The Smithereens made it mainstream, my brother's band didn't, unless you count performing on the Uncle Floyd show? He had heard them play most of their "Especially For You" album well before it hit MTV, or so he claimed. The 80s was such a weird time of exciting emergence and extreme anger for many people, and we expressed it in many ways. I guess every generation has their 1 decade like that?!

They were always such a cool band

I Haven't Heard This In Ages. So Fortunate To Have Rediscovered It In October 2024. ❤🎉😊

The Smithereens are and were incredible. Thanks guys !

FUN FACT : THE GUITARISTS OF THE SMITHEREENS DON'T USE ANY DISTORTION OR OVERDRIVE PEDALS IN THEIR RECORDINGS... WHAT YOU REALLY HEAR İS THE NATURAL DISTORTION OF THE AMPS THEY ACTUALLY USE ...

Brings back memories of my college days at Iowa State

Still a great rock & roll get up and dance tune in 09-29-2024 🚯

❤❤❤

Love ❤ this song

Belinda Carlisle should've been in the video. The Smithereens were a great and underrated band. Rest in peace, Pat.

I remember going to the Rat in the 80s and seeing them live. They were awesome and became very popular after that.

What the world did not know it needed in 1992: a power-pop clinic.

I used to see them play in different parts of Long island before they made it big

im 71 and dig this

que chulada de cancion

So, so good...

The Smithereens rock in eternity. They are top of the pops!

Thank guys

Looking forward to seeing you guys at the famous Riviera Theatre in suburban Buffalo on 11/20. Buffalo loves you too...

Saw them at Kenny's Castaways at the beginning. You could see how great they would become

I listen to this just to hear that bass growl

this song makes me feel like i can run through a brick wall.

Somehow I feel as though this song was missing from the Dumb & Dumber soundtrack. It would've fit so well.

I just recently started a new job (I'm 54), and a kid (mid-20s) is wearing a "Smithereens" T-shirt... and I am thinking, does he know how great the band is or is he being "I like the 80's" schtick... 🤔

I'm simply made of Goosebumps. KUNV 87'!!!!!!

11 was THE album of 1990 for me.

Beginning of the grunge sound

I ❤️ this.

Sorry, I was thinking of Spirit not Smithereens. Glad you caught that.

most people are just casual listeners. i used to play around when i was a young man. most folks do not know or understand that a band is the sum of its parts. drums keepin the pocket with the bass player . guitar not obnoxious jut enough to make a solid rock song. salute from an old guitar slinger

This a fuckn jam 💯

badasses

Helluva song!!

Funny, a song about a girl and there's no girl in the video.

Turned all my friends on to them

Early #70s

Fell in love with this band after hearing this song

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤😂😮😅😊

I got to see them twice. I bought their 1st 3 albums on cassette. I think it was their second & third tour. The 1st show was GREAT! Lakewood Ohio Phantasy Theater. 2nd show was good. I love their debut album! I blasted that in my Ranger a lot.

Robert Smith is an absolute Genius You all know this, make it so!!!!
