Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Relax (deluxe clip version)

Who’s still here in 2024?

[@nymike06]

Me!

[@larkraines9311]

I graduated in 1985. What a great time to be alive. I wouldn't trade my youth for the crap these kids have to deal with and grow up in today, for nothing. I feel sorry for the. No cell phones, no computers, video games weren't addictive or taking up ones entire youth. Freedom and happiness. The world was a much better place. Or maybe it just seemed like it, I don't know. I do know that I loved the era I grew up in, and am grateful for it.

70' s were the best for music

[@htownchucky3992]

I was born in August '76. The 80s were so exciting, I even wondered what the future held. It was so common to hear 'rock and roll will never die'. I try to relive that time period, with singing karaoke. If you want to look me up, visit a venue in Houston, Texas, my stage name is 'Rokker'. I had a classmate in grade school, who is the lead singer of 'Blue October'. Me, I was in the NAVY (1999-2008).

[@TrojanRuss]

This is the video that was shown on loop on MTV at the time, so when I saw them at Irvine Meadows in Orange County, California, in 1985, naturally the fans took over the stage. It didn't help that at the beginning of the encore, Holly Johnson told everybody in the crowd to come closer. I had tenth row seats, but me and my friend Ruben ended up standing on the arms of the chairs in the third row to watch the madness unfold, and madness it was. Basically, after one song (Relax) for the encore, the band ran off the stage, they turned on all the lights and told everybody to go home. I got pelted with so much garbage I was a walking trash can heading to the car. Still one of the best concerts I ever saw (and I saw a lot of them back then).

[@chrishays4835]

I tripped over a cord under a rug during a record producer night at the Hippodrome that my friend and I were given tickets for....this was in 1985...Frankie at their height...I fell back into Peter Gill. I was mortified but he just smiled and said "That's a'right love, ye can do it again if ye want to". I just blushed bright red and apologized and walked on. didn't help was breaking in new high heels that were a bit too snug

I just watched the banned version of this video before watching this version which I remember from MTV in the 80s and frankly I find this version more disturbing with moronic fans jumping on the singers in waves, knocking them to the ground.

Same here and now I understand why this cheesy G rated version was done to appease MTV. That's a lot of women without gaydar lol. At least this version shows the first 15 seconds or so of the banned version in slow motion.
