CATHERINE WHEEL - TV Compilation 1993-97

[@antifolkhero]

Probably my favorite band of all time. Criminally underrated.

[@martinfeickcanyonspringshs3803]

Criminally. 100%

[@smileylpsgirl]

i love that this video ends with the cameraman asking Rob if he likes Korn and Rob saying he doesn't know what that is hahaha great video btw!

[@GLUE4UANDME]

I can still listen to just Crank alone...all day on replay. It never gets old and is what i call a perfect song.

[@fletchernotwilliam]

I literally can’t stop listening to it. I discovered it last week and it has been playing in my head nonstop.

[@matthewcohen7488]

Funny, I was driving home listening to Chrome and pretty much was thinking the same thing about Show Me Mary as far as being a perfect pop song, after listening to it twice.

[@narfezravl96]

I just discovered Catherine Wheel (😭), and I too have been playing Crank repeatedly!!!

[@grizzlyaddams3606]

Not sure about that. Good? Yes. Great?! Maybe. Which is saying a lot. "Perfect"

[@darosm]

This compilation is GOLD!! The evolution through albums and form of expression in lives... Timeless band!! #catherinewheel #catherinewheelband #robdickinson #brianfutter #davehawes #neilsims

[@andchat6241]

I'll tell Brian - I'm sure it will make him happy !

[@uran0]

most underrated rock band ever

[@DaveAnchovies]

underrated? how so. underappreciated...but had visibility. happens to the best.

[@AndieZ4U2]

Yes

[@andchat6241]

​@@DaveAnchovies yeah ,they had a record label & promotion & festival gigs where they played to a lot of people ....if those people then decide not to buy the records or lose interest in the band then so it goes... 'Under rated' is just a way of saying 'I really like this band .....but not many others do' . Or 'my views on something are correct - ignore all other information....its wrong'

[@narfezravl96]

This is an awesome complication for someone who has only just discovered Catherine Wheel. I just heard Black Metallic for the first time about a week ago, and I'm completely hooked. Thank you. 💙

[@grimlyfiendish7474]

Miss this band

[@Moodiac67]

I was there among that (small) Coventry Spinadisc audience all those years ago, and then followed them over to the Northampton branch to witness it all again. Many thanks to the guy who filmed it and sold me a copy of the tape, and to you Lewis for making this all available to us. Hard to believe that little lad who got Neil's drumsticks would be in his thirties now!

[@FrIgHtNiGhT71]

120 minutes!

[@alistairhackett2495]

I was lucky enough to see Catherine Wheel on their Adam and Eve tour. That album should have been way more successfull, it was criminally ignored by the radio stations and press.

[@joeketa6352]

Adam and Eve and Ferment are my two favorite Catherine Wheel albums. I don't think I could choose between them. Adam and Eve was their polished best, but it's hard to beat the raw initial album. I saw their Adam and Eve tour as well as Ferment and Happy Days. They are one of the few bands from that era that I still love to listen to.

[@martinfeickcanyonspringshs3803]

They were too good for the trash on American radio.

[@LaburnumAnagyroides]

Back then Rob was insanely handsome. Oh my, those eyes...

[@squeekycat]

OMG, those live acoustic performances of Phantom and Ma Solituda. I have no words. Can't express how much I love this band but I wish everyone could hear them, count me among everyone else who doesn't understand how they didn't become absolutely famous worldwide.

[@lewisslade]

THE only band I've returned to again and again. So important. So thankful :-)

[@catcat1517]

I saw them live in Cleveland. One of my favorite bands of all time.

[@nicolekoretsky9062]

Same xx

[@jeffbuege6509]

STILL an important band in my life. And Brian is completely underrated.

[@EricShans]

my favorite band of all time. thank you for this

[@somealternativestuff9578]

mine too

[@niaralosusa]

...we desperately need a new Catherine Wheel album and tour!!

[@goa9034]

We need each album as 3 CDs: Original B Sides Live

[@sunjan]

Amazing that you held on to these recordings and manage to convert them. I remember the painstaking and tedious process of trading VHS tapes on the Texture mailing list. Guys like you deserve huge credits!

[@DMR-28]

Still one of the best English alternative bands, got all the cds & still some old vinyl

[@drewdavis4614]

LEWIS!!!! I live in USA , in the 1990s u sent me all the catherine wheel videos on a cd i still have it and cant thank you enough for u sending me that and much love bro.❤😊

[@ClemScramblehead]

Saw them at The Duchess in Leeds. Brian came into Relics Records. Painful Thing EP only record that's ever drawn me in off the street to ask, "What's that?" Was in Ladbroke Grove. They had a big pile of 12s on the desk. Fave tunes Strange Fruit, Salt (live), Lifeline. Future Boy, Intravenous... So many!

[@vickytaylor9604]

..and here I am again..watching the best fuckin band ever !

[@vickytaylor9604]

Brian Futter was a Beast on the guitar

[@andrejbrada9325]

great guitarist :)

[@kp4588]

One of my all time favorites. Thank you for whoever put this together!

[@Iodine74]

That record store performance is amazing. I'd never heard any of that stuff live, and to hear it sound so faithful to the album with those stripped own rigs (compared to the half stacks from previous years) is crazy.

[@nancypepin231]

My favorite band, my favorite song.

[@frodofraggins]

I never really appreciated them until long after they broke up. Although I do remember liking Black Metallic when it released. Their first two albums are now classics to me.

[@faybelle2991]

Crank You 🙇‍♀️💝🎁⚙️

[@somealternativestuff9578]

BEST VIDEO EVER! THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!

[@nicolekoretsky9062]

Thank you, Lewis xx

[@guillermosobrevilla8614]

Super GROUP A+++++

[@derekholland3328]

love these guys Catherine Wheel!

[@garyauld6421]

Greatest live version of Black Metallic IMO, Mr Futter sir take a bow

[@mterpstra]

Thanks again for this Lewis. Crank on 120min was my introduction to the band. Mind-blowing...I was lucky enough to catch them at a gig a few months later in Rochester, NY with 30 other people(!)...the first of many. Hopefully we'll be seeing them again soon...!!

[@faybelle2991]

‼️

[@Skate771parts]

God I wish some of these performances could be remastered :(( I thank you Lewis for taking your time to upload all these CW videos. I watch them all the time 🙏 A real treat for someone who only recently found out about this mega band.

[@TJ-yg3cb]

Please keep creating new music. 🙏 please please please

[@marybrucker6978]

This is AWESOME!! Thank you!

[@sandmofa]

Broken Nose live...Brilliant! Thanks for the upload!!!

[@mterpstra]

hells yeah. thx again lewis. texture-l forevah!

[@michaelpenkethman8545]

Lucky to have seen them at The Sugarmill, Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent, my favourite band ever

[@squeekycat]

Thank you so much for compiling and posting this! It's fascinating. Wow, that first Sook Yin interview was a little awkward, eh? Kennedy is hilarious, though! I like it when the interviewer clicks with the band and brings out the best in them. This is so much fun to watch!

[@IgnacioEliasRosner]

This is amazing, thank you so much!!!

[@garethde-witt6433]

Just Brilliant

[@grizzlyaddams3606]

Nice post. Wow. Would really be interested in what the band says in 2022?! Sounds rad. 😎

[@chrisjernigan7006]

live verson of Black Metallic is insane

[@DaveAnchovies]

the live versions of the Chrome song are really free of that heavy handed production. they kill it live...Dickinson a cousin of Iron Maidens Dickinson, both bands medieval torture devices...hmm.

[@MrCkfox1]

Thanks Lewis!

[@danimatian]

thank you Lewis !

[@lisa4662]

Thanks so much for posting these, what gems! I especially love the record store performance and wish I could have that cleaned up on mp3 and jam out to it on my stereo! Looking forward to more when you can post them!

[@lewisslade]

Working on it! Life get's in the way sometimes.....but more uploads will follow in time :-)

[@NJstixx]

For me IMHO the most under-rated rock band of all time.....classic...thank you....

[@Skate771parts]

Criminally underrated

[@steveroden2218]

Epic version of 'Black Metallic'!

[@craigschepers714]

I'm putting this in the cloud in case I'm dreaming...

[@grzegorzkowalski5100]

1:58:10-2:00:10 That's some volume of merchandise the guy in bandana has brought...

[@sebafan]

Thanks, this is great!

[@chrispawlak3362]

30:28 wow, this is painful. I can't believe they let this woman interview these guys.

[@faybelle2991]

LOL sad indeed

[@jas22]

omg that girl at 31:40 and her questions.....what a train wreck. If i were that quiet guy to Rob's left, i just would have gone "1, 2, 1-2-3 and..." and just started playing over her. and she has to be told there is not a baby on the CD cover. did she maybe LOOK at it beforehand for a second? then calling their town 'tacky'? it gets worse and worse. egads....

[@lisa4662]

Then later, in another clip she grills Rob about why he wasn’t married at the time and asks why and if it’s because he’s selfish or something! I felt so bad for him, how awkward! Still so interesting to see these old interviews though.

[@AndieZ4U2]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@nearwildheaven33]

These interviewers are so cringe 😬 Feel bad for the band putting up with them lol. Great compilation!

[@laurajazz89]

[@somealternativestuff9578]

Can you make a video about their lives from 1997 to 2000?

[@lewisslade]

I've got so much stuff just unorganized on a hard drive, that there's much more content to add and edit. I didn't want to bunch everything together, so thought I'd just start with a simple couple of hours. I actually think it would work better if everything was just in order by the albums and each era. Maybe make more sense that way. Working on it!

[@somealternativestuff9578]

@@lewisslade Got It! Hope we'll see that soon please!!!

[@lisa4662]

Still hopeful you’ll be able to post your second installment someday. This is great! I love seeing all their live stuff and interviews that are hard to find.

[@brantfoehl1792]

This is so fucking rad!

[@saffirevaporknoxville4434]

WE NEED CW DOC NOW!!! here's a title: The Band That Was Too Good

[@lizdowner14]

Even the first couple of minutes is more emotive than the majority of bollocks pumped out by most of today’s wannabes. Sorely missed and I was so lucky to see and retain the memories.

[@ericgillespie4062]

Who the hell is the interviewer at 27:17? I hope she was fired after this.

[@DaveAnchovies]

120 Minutes coulda been better...MTV Euro or Canada much better. Great performances.

[@12-grid89]

God, some of the interviewers, over-analyzing questions. It's uncomfortable watching them. Felt like some of my psychotherapy sessions in my 20s (around this time).

[@JohnMacRae23]

Jesus, the much music interviewer... was horrible @ 27:27. I'll informed questions, and she had the wrong lyrics, got the cover image wrong. Gotta feel for the band in moments like these.

[@carstenb9960]

Good God that lady's interview was so awkward. She didn't seem to know how to ask a question.

[@DaveAnchovies]

scarce live stuff, which is were they really seem to kick ass and sound unlike their big name producers visions....Norton has wrecked some good bands albums, OceanRain the exception.

[@matthewcohen7488]

North American sounding album? The guys English accent comes out in his delivery...but said to an English bands face...wow, then she reads a misquote...I wonder if the Asian chic got fired after this segment?

[@melcontent]

That Asian show host ... (wTF)

[@Buff99ca]

She was terrible. One of the worst VJ''s in Muchmusic history. Embarrassing.

[@gailal]

"This video is not available".

[@lewisslade]

Hi Alan, it depends on what you are viewing the video on. Some devices are blocked due to copyright reasons for some audio used in interview footage. It's fine on a desktop PC though.

Trying to watch on an I Pad

[@squeekycat]

If the rest of that phrase is "in your country" then you need a proxy server. That should fix it. :) Firefox has them as add-ons, I prefer Hotspot Shield. It's also free which is awesome.
