Anyone have any info on that brand and model of Andy's guitar? It is gorgeous!

A song about the unfit Pete Hegseth.

So we've done a gig in a hostel I was staying in, Matt Johnson, of 'the the', afterwards suggested we go to this gig at the Lyceum, Strand...and this bloke walks up to the amps, the guitar is there and by himself creates this utter cacophany of total feedback noise, before the bass and drums begin...frankly it was a 'Hendrix' moment, except he came from where I was born, Leeds! I carried on using my echo box, like Matt, as a 'sound', away from the usual guitar, like Andy Gill.

Where has this one been all my life?

The best intro to a song. Only GO4 could do it!

This is a positive gang ese No one hurt vato Understand the song Homes

Strong 'Talking Heads' vibe here

Yeahhh lml

Gets even better with age.

I've never heard of these guys until I watched the Tony hawk video with Keanu Reeves. I love them!

Another run of the mill weird white music

Le chef de famille donne des ordres The family's head gives orders En fin de compte, ce qu'il dit va In the end, what he says goes Ce système est bien construit This system's well constructed Elle lui doit tout ce qu'elle obtient She owes him all she gets L'armée a son utilité The army has it's uses En temps de crise civile In times of civil crisis « Allo les garçons !

I saw the live in Hamburg in 1980.

Terrible

My god, these marxist prats were annoying

it's totally appropriate they got Chic's Alfa Anderson for this song because you can tell the whole song is a tribute to Chic music.

Hope they got rich

to hell with inflation

wow. that was super bad. cant understand why cobain praised them. its probably just a joke.

That young Bill O'reilly has some rithym despite the constipated look on his face😊

I don’t think I’ve ever heard a song like this where I couldn’t figure out which guitar (bass or lead) is more 🔥 🔥

As melhores bandas são dos anos 80 para trás.

Rip ❤❤❤

Andy Gill is so cool I had to adjust the thermostat. But isn't that "What we all want"?

F**king jaw-dropping funk punk.

Love the noises of this band , brilliant stuff

But for GOF, RATM would never have existed.

wow, nice song from 1980.

These guys did more to shape the musical landscape than they were ever given credit for 🤔

Capitalism🤮

The punkest fucking punk

OMG IS THIS.. A TNO REFFERENCE?????

Is he in jail

...quando e' uscito Dave Allen praticamente Gang of Four sono finiti;in ogni caso questo brano rimane il loro piu' importante anche se e' stato pubblicato solo su EP nel 1982...

Fond post Punk / early New Wave memories!

Sly

The Gang was (and stil is) one of the coolest bands ever. So much love and respect for those guys.

the Roots of Discopunk comes from the Gang of Four and the Clash

Thank you Tony Hawk

Even Weller in The Jam sighted their sound when making Sound Affects.

Great!

Fire that guitarist! Sounds and dances terribly.

I think The Rapture must be Gang of Four fans

The great ones make it look easy.

Tony Hawk has good taste

In the early 80s as a kid at first I was only familiar with their later r&b sound and when I first saw Urgh my first reaction was wtf, but then it grew on me because What We All Want was my mantra and I hadn't heard all of Solid Gold yet. Finally got to see them as an adult in Hollywood in the 00s, glad I saw Andy Gill before he left this world. RIP!

Tony Hawk recommended this to me. Thank you Tony

F yeah... so funky it hurts

Let's not glorify the smack just sayin

i could listen to the first minute over amd over again❤ the rest also but...
