FIRST TIME HEARING Brian Eno - Baby's On Fire REACTION

[@wangobadankas4038]

I heard this the first time 50 years ago on AM radio . I'll never forget. Blew my mind for sure. Loved it immediately.

[@larindanomikos]

This is one of my favorite songs on one of my favorite albums.

[@lawrencekelli]

Same..First heard it as a 8 yr old in the 70's when my teen uncle's used to baby sit my little sis and I. We new all the words ,funny listening to 6 and 8 yr olds singing Eno!

Looking good, Hope your feeling much better.🙏

[@reghunt2487]

One of Fripp's greatest solos, which is saying something.

Desde Nicaragua: desde los años 80's soy fan de Eno. Sus dos primeros albums, glam rock, son de sus mejores trabajos incluso antes de incursionar en la ambient music. Saludos!

[@SorendeSelbyBowen]

Wow, Eno! Play "Third Uncle"; it's mind-blowing.

[@cjmesq]

Fripp kills on this. His best lead guitar solo ever.

[@nosivadbor]

You know it!

[@dmartin1203]

Yes...interesting song and album cover. Loved the song! So glad you're back, JJ, hope all went well❣️

[@fatovamingus]

❤ welcome back

[@monilaninetynine3811]

Good seeing you back, although I hope you're taking it easy.

[@JustJammin]

Thank you and yeah I've been trying to take it as easy as I can.

[@TooSkinnyKenny]

most likely you'll get to another guy who is primarily known as a successful producer (Donna Summer, Blondie, Berlin) who also has worked as a solo artist but is not very well known to the general public as a solo artist: Giorgio Moroder.

[@kenneth2875]

Wikipedia-The song is a surreal fantasy about a photography session involving a burning woman and unthinking, laughing onlookers, and two second-hand tobacconists.

[@TooSkinnyKenny]

Eno is primarily known as one of the most popular and successful record producers of his era. This and "Needles in the Camel's Eye" are his most popular songs as an artist. But many would consider his music and his nasally voice to be just too quirky.

[@nosivadbor]

Welcome back JJ. Super fun reaction! This song is like sonic corruption. With the scathing tone of Eno’ voice , combined with Fripps guitar (from King Crimson) that sounds like it on fire. I always envision this a psychedelic trip into darkness, almost like a sacrifice to join a cult. Meanwhile a few years later this dude invents Ambient music. 😆

Mr Bungle - Goodbye Sober Day, Faust - The Sad Skinhead, Del The Funky Homosapian - If you Must

[@versatilejams]

If Herbie Hancock was a metal artist!

[@StoneShards]

Robert Fripp winds on in the greatest style!

[@hinterwelter]

Red hot!

[@marioncampbell2589]

Baby's On Fire is about spontaneous Human combustion?

[@BadAppleBlues]

Listening to this for the first time in 2024 I know realise that a shitload of bands that I like from the post punk era in the early to mid 80's must have been partly influenced by Eno. At that time I was a teenager who listened to heavy rock/NWOBHM and I thought that all the post punk stuff was a load of weird rubbish lol

[@nosivadbor]

You’ve just leveled up when you can start to detect the linkage of you favorite bands.

[@hinterwelter]

I think it's simply a critique of consumerism.

[@unkorichie2029]

Even though this was one of his more "poppy" songs, its always been at the top of my playlist
