Girlschool - 20th Century Boy

[@ethansloan]

This band deserves way more recognition than they get.

[@jeffdecker7077]

I like to think that the recognition that they do get is in the girls who grew up listening to them and carried on the Metal torch influencing generations of girls to kick ass on stage.

[@nataliatorreskalme]

saw them four years ago with Jackie, epic:(!!!

[@lucus55]

Excuse the language but f**king agreed!!!!

[@texasgonzo67]

Well yeah! Been jammin Girlschool since they came out, still am.

[@persiguiendocriminales8652]

best fcking band of girls.

[@IntoTheMindlessAbyss]

The lead singer and guitarist of Girlschool passed away in 2007 from breast cancer. Her name was Kelly Johnson. SHOW SOME FUCKING RESPECT!!!

[@martindoll5884]

Spinal cancer not breast cancer

[@heatherr0420]

🤘🏻🔥

[@thelagunassurf]

RIP Kelly...

[@Neil-Aspinall]

Respect, in what regard?

[@paulcarr3355]

These girls are so good that Lemmy of Motorhead is a fan . No better seal of approval then that .

[@Deadlock239]

Not just a fan. Girlschool toured with motor head and 2 of the band had flings with motor head, lemmy included.

[@mattbarbarich3295]

This was Kelly Johnsons last record with them I'm pretty sure. R.I.P.

[@paultreadaway102]

Motorhead loves Girlschool and vice versa in the mix can't go wrong with that

[@charlottevictoria.hubbard7472]

Not only one of the best all girl bands, but one of the best bands.

[@jimmytgoose476]

Hell yes . They should have been huge . So much 80s rock was dogshit but they always kicked ass.

[@FarmersAreDummies]

Better than the Runaways? Just maybe.

[@FarmersAreDummies]

@@jimmytgoose476WTF? You must be a GenZ douche, lol! Iron Maiden, Ozzy, DIO, Slayer, Metallica. Never drop out, kids.

[@EvQuistorff]

Girl band? Grow up for God's sake. They are women.

[@edkuklinski4237]

This might be one of the best covers I've ever heard, a very severely underrated band right here

[@ElectricPylon]

Best version of this song I've ever heard. They've really beefed it up. Singing is a bit like Suzi Quattro. Nothing wrong with that. Excellent job all round.

[@sebastianlinardi]

La mejor maldita mejor época de esta gran banda de mujeres! En ese momento K. Johnson era hermosa y una gran cantante que ponía todo su corazón en lo que hacia!

[@stanleygutowski1617]

Band is totally awesome.❤❤❤

[@olioli6883]

R.I.P Kelly

[@moltonrocka1784]

rest in peace, Kelly

[@Paul8820]

RIP Marc Bolan (T-Rex)

[@marcelmuller8572]

Cool Band. I saw them over 40 Years ago in Geneva Switzerland, supporting Rainbow (Difficult To Cure Tour). I even still have the Ticket, CHF 25.-, which I found incredibly expensive at the Time.

[@PunkPaula]

got to see them in august this year. So grateful that I got to see them live, even after all those years of them being a band

[@stanleydavidlepretre4241]

Back in the day , I bought this album. Best of times, teen in the 80's

[@ToldAlthea]

Teen in the 70’s , 20 something in The 80’s. we don’t remember SHIT, cuz we drank our way through the first decade and stayed up for 48 hours REGULARLY in the second.

[@cindyinnew]

@@ToldAlthea ditto

[@FarmersAreDummies]

@@ToldAlthea Indeed, we were not panzies.

[@langdalepaul]

The song is “20th Century Boy” and is a cover (a very good one) of the original by Marc Bolan.

[@Millwall77]

Stating the obvious...

[@langdalepaul]

@@Millwall77they obviously updated the title since I made this comment.

[@jimgemmell2831]

Claire Davenport playing the blonde mother? Absolute belting cover of this classic.

[@carldryden9081]

they just plain ROCK!!

[@RamzesBakinsky]

These girls are the best of the best !!!

[@paultreadaway102]

MTV 2 brilliant and logo quality Videos they did.A Girls Motorhead did a pretty good take on T Rex Song,Marc would be extremely happy these Gals Rock.Kelly beauty 😍 class and gorgeous mean can do it all.To be blessed and part of the greatest decade of all time never to forget miss it so much oh hail the 80s atmosphere could harp on and explain vibes and feelings like no other time or place in history

[@bentorres4620]

They were good

[@jussiselonen589]

Girlschool RULEZZ Forever! Cheers from ä Head.

[@brettmartin6626]

At 3:37, Enid gives her mic a little flick o' the tongue......Damn she was, and still is, such a BABE!!

[@cosmicthick]

That's not Enid, it's Ghislaine 'Gil' Weston

[@martindoll5884]

Gil is so damn sexy

[@TimHuse]

@@cosmicthickyeah, Enid was great but had quite a year and a half before this. That smokin’ hot bassist is Ghislaine ‘Gil’ Weston-Jones.

[@bratmarko4832]

Long Live RnR .... Hello from Serbia

[@dcbadger2]

Music starts at 1:02

[@jimepper8259]

This is my generation growing up. I love them. ⚘

[@careful...Icarus]

I thought the "mom" was Gary Glitter for a second. RIP Kelly Johnson. Your were the real deal.

[@SquidproGames]

Love this song

[@gogoyubari366]

Good cover and pretty girls!

[@leonardbarletta8117]

miss Kelly so much R.I.P. ALSO MARC BOLAN R.I.P. GOD OLD SCHOOL ROCK WAS SO GOOD NOT LIKE TODAYS CRAP

[@cornholio_thegreat]

Rock 'n' Roll is the answer. No matter what other people say.

[@tobaccoroad2291]

Underrated

[@dean1618]

Great cover!

[@jorgeanguas9220]

A very clever cover, since Marc Bolan was deceased then. Fits them like a glove. Remember them for their association to Motorhead.

[@bertiewooster305]

Why does Bolan being deceased make it a "very clever" cover? It's awful.

[@grooveyerbouti]

@@bertiewooster305 not sure about why it's clever but I disagree that it's awful.

[@secesh7184]

A+++ Rendition

[@olivei2484]

A Marc Bolan cover ... Awesome job!

[@HockeyJohn21]

The original and best lineup, great to see Kelly in the band.

[@cosmicthick]

That's not Enid on Bass but Gil Weston.

[@kingofthecatnap7923]

Nice...

[@waynedunn1108]

I bought girlschool on dvd i like them this reminds me of suzie quatro not a bad version im a big t rex fan

[@harrihiltunen3126]

motorhead and girlschool legendary band..

[@daveberry7733]

Marc bolan would be proud of this gem

[@bassliveevil]

I love how Enid has her microphone just like Lemmy's .

[@ianhockingtom1102]

That's not Enid, That's Gil on Bass

[@aceofspades5786]

Sadly Mark Bolan and smoking hot Kelly Johnson no longer with us 💙💛

[@pipboyapproved1361]

That was really funny. Good laughs. A bit sad, but still funny.

[@paulcannell7188]

FKN MTV did we need that? GIRLSCHOOL ROCK!

[@jairroldan9999]

Para mí la mejor banda femenina de la historia del heavy metal excelente sonido en fin para mí una banda culto.

[@JuarezsantossousaSousa]

maravilhas.

[@MrEchoes1962]

The presenters even said the wrong title Hahahahahahahahaha

[@TheCedarFresh]

Ah yes of course 20th century man ^^ But seriously this version us great, it's cool to know women were involved in 80' heavy metal

[@arianrhodhyde7482]

I think it was pretty much them alone in the new wave of british heavy metal.

[@cosmicthick]

@@arianrhodhyde7482 and Rock Goddess

[@mattx5499]

If you like Rockin' Girl bands check out pretty new one called The Warning. They are from Mexico and kick ass.

Deaf leopard epitomised everything that was shit about 80s rock . And they couldn't spell either . Wankers .

[@joekimberlin264]

the MTV "VJ" annonces the song as 20th Century MANi ts BOY silly!, not really her fault as the title on the video is wrong too, , 20th Century Man is by the Kinks! haha! nice cover of this T-Rex tune though :)

[@MrBobbyz24]

T-Rex covered it too, original is by The Big 6

[@kennethhammond4028]

no nonsense rock

At 0:06 the one lady (negatively) calls women who pole-dance 'hoes', but then at 0:27 the other girl says it sucks that men call women hoes. I dig their message but you have to be careful about discrepancies like this or else it gives people who are against feminism reason to dismiss your arguments.

[@culwin]

I'm from 38 years ago. I will take your message back with me.

[@drumbodubois3896]

Its 20th Century Boy NOT Man :-)

[@carlosabianfernandez2058]

T.Rex was a big reference for many artistas.

[@aaronjschaefer]

Better than the Bangles...

[@seancallander8278]

Rock on suzie a

[@snakewhitcher4189]

We opened for them in Charlotte NC 1992. I didn't really know who they were at the time. Shane McGowan wants his teeth back though.

[@MrLinki1212]

at leaST A good coverversiion of this goog old t.rex song.

[@jimdandy7772]

First time hearing this version 6/22/2020 12:29 pm Pretty dam good

[@lazlokovacs2263]

This version is more glam than the T. Rex itself.

[@colincampbell4261]

Better.

[@RolandMael]

20th Century MAN? 🙄🤦

[@PAULLONDEN]

Good cover...but that 4:06 _"meanwhile I'm still thinking"_ didn't come out very convincing....

They did too many covers for a professional band that wants to make it big. Half their singles are cover versions.
