Hoodoo Gurus - Death Defying

[@jonnyronnyguy]

I have a dedicated playlist for 80s Aussie music because it deserves to have a solid genre of it's own.

[@gr329]

I must agree. I wish I was there... at this time. 😢

[@TheChamberlaingirl]

Absolutely. Same here.

[@smileychick3656]

Same!!!

[@shill5030]

Still got my concert ticket from the 80’s when they played in the UK. How can I remember all the lyrics but not what happened yesterday? 😂

[@brettayres5704]

This song is timeless - it's as good as the very first time I heard it in 1986!

[@danielhunt4845]

These guys make me feel proud to be Australian. Hit after hit of timeless classics. Such an amazing band still creating major boogie time at live gigs in 2024. Seeing The Gurus live is a celebration of top of the food chain Oz rock and roll. Keep the hits coming boys I’m all ears.❤

[@leecanning123]

how does one band make so many totally epic catchy songs?

[@ambermclean8456]

It shows that they are LEGENDS!!❤

[@Motoguzzi750]

Lots of hard work.

[@treyfoehner4392]

black magic

[@benwilkins2998]

Lots of catchy songs but no mega hits really.

[@MotoWot]

@@benwilkins2998 Not helped by the fact that Mark Kingsmill's brother, Richard, had a long career at Triple J, and when he held the position of Music Director he refused to give airplay to the Hoodoo Gurus for fear of perceived bias. FY Richard Kingsmill!

[@troybarlow9053]

Just went to there concert what a great band ..go support them keep the live music industry alive...

[@gregscott9325]

Just saw them this evening in Pittsburgh PA for their 2024 US Tour Back to the Stone-Age celebrating the 40th anniversary of Stone Age Romeos... They are still tight and put on a great show.

[@GlenB1963]

Love the gurus. Seen them many times, bombay rock, seagulls, etc, back in the eighties. Thanks, guys, for the awesome music. Big part of my life.❤

[@dorapeetpiperanddusty]

Great times . Days when i was so happy and full of life . Didn't care what i drank or who i was with . So much energy , i used to run instead of walk . Why did i think my life was shit ? Sitting here and wanting it all back . Loved the Gurus too .

[@briandwyer1398]

Well you’ve done the right thing by listening to them again 👍👍

[@jasondesselles9168]

I'm 48 and can relate to everything you said. Well put my friend.

[@bradhorton166]

Dave Faulkner the greatest Australian songwriter ever and the Gurus one of the country’s finest

[@stevo54838]

They're alright

Brad, I reckon! ❤🦘🐨

[@billymack333]

Iva Davies and the whole of the Mentals say bullshit !!! 🇦🇺💥

[@pjfolkes1973]

@@freddyhitler3332 Definitely catchier songs than Nick Cave. Not to say Nick's songs aren't genius though, or more genius.

[@therespectedlex9794]

Sad indictment of Oz

[@ollo7711]

This beautiful classic takes me back to beautiful 80s and 90s and to great days of high school.

[@Rossk58]

An all-time favourite of mine.

[@Callthehands]

Gurus allways put on great live and i was lucky to enjoy them a few times in few great spots oooh weeee

[@seano3997]

Hoodoo Gurus - 11 November 1987, Founders Theater Hamilton, Dave broke a couple of lower E strings but played on like a true professional lol. Awesome night.

[@scottseigmeier8575]

I often come and listen to this, great song and great band.

[@dgax65]

I love this song. It was the first Hoodoo Gurus song I had ever heard and it got me hooked. Definitely one of my all-time favorite bands.

[@gregclark5344]

In the day when this song was huge, I was driving through Beaudesert QLD, There was a Cafe, out the front of it was a group of teenagers, the blokes were wearing just denim jeans and a pair of thongs, no shirts. This one young bloke had one of those ridiculously huge portable cassette players up on his shoulder and had this song pumping out full volume. No doubt they were very cool dudes. That's the memory this song brings back to me. Those stereos used take like 12 "D" cell batteries and they'd last for about 2hrs. Cost a fortune in batteries.

[@hdmccart6735]

I hear you on the battery dilemma! Good times though...😄😅

[@STOKEOZ1967]

I was living in central Queensland back in mid 80s, remember those times well, great tunes, and to see the gurus on holiday at the blacktown RSL in Sydney in 1986, this guy who was originally from stoke on trent in England, well I was fkn stoked!!!🇦🇺🇬🇧🎸👍

[@hdmccart6735]

@@STOKEOZ1967 Bloody hell!, moving from Stoke on Trent to central QLD - Culture shock!! Nice one...

[@dirtyharry6741]

Man, gurus are my all time favourite band in Australia. I was a wee lad in the 80s and so many great songs and memories. Now 41 dam I love to reminisce. Times were sure different

[@gregp5257]

So good - I'm a few years older and they were the business live - massive fun...🎸🎼👍🍺

[@bohicajohnson7203]

I saw them at the Prince of Wales in St Kilda about 5 years ago. And at the Adelaide University Bar on a Friday Lunchtime gig in 1985ish.

[@bizbizley]

They influenced bands that didn’t even know they were their mentors. Scarily good.

[@remo1366]

Seeing 'em tomorrow at the Bluebird,can't wait to finally hear 'em live!

[@Flamtapa]

Love it. Australian music at its best, bunch of legends.

[@christianfischer7919]

Hoodoo Gurus -a hit machine!

[@VincenzoPorreca]

Brilliant Aussie band ..top shelf!!!

[@garysweet9565]

Fave Ausrock band..

[@richc511]

Caught myself singing the chorus ladt... It has to be over 15 years since I've played this song.

[@freddi7588]

one of many great aussie bands

[@SS-cl9td]

Ahh, these guys at the Caringbah Inn and the St Georges Sailing Club back in the day. Truly awesome.

[@davidgriggs8622]

Thanks for the memories. Wish hair was a given.

[@jamescampbell8100]

80s music Australia wow what a time and genre thankful great full under a southern sun

[@cleopatraoatcake7364]

I love my sixties music served up Hoodoo Gurus stylee!

[@ludurigan]

what a band

[@davidfarr1188]

Seen in Sheffield 85? Loved ever since

[@nessawoolley3750]

Singing this with my 2 yr old daughter, I would love to hear a modern version of this song, it would rock the country

[@robwestwater5866]

why have a modern version?

[@oinkooink]

The only thing that rocks the country now is wokism. Which people adore.

[@darleneplowman3796]

I have loved these guys for years! My husband and I first danced to “should I stay or should I go?” I have so much respect for this band!,

[@dogparkmtbinsider3188]

You guys ROCK! I remember listening to you guys on KROQ and 91x back in the 80s. All my surf buddies use to drive to LA or SD to see you play live! Good times!

[@brettmcmahon7263]

Looking chillaxed there guys. Only the Hoodoo Gurus could film in one of the hottest, dryest places on earth and make it look cool and relaxing like they've all just woke up and showered. Love this band.

[@RoyBennett-dz2cq]

Saw the gurus at the coo gee hotel in 1989, fantastic night, many schooners of v.b, went home tired but happy.

[@beatrute2677]

a daily staple of rock FM radio stations in the 90's in Australia. I've probably heard this thousands of times, it always chirped up everybody in the workshop when it came on.

[@peterdives9471]

Good Aussie stuff

[@lonceysgardening3933]

Just realised how crazy you boys were, being in that river, haha 😂❤

[@craiggerrard5117]

I saw them in Liverpool UK in 1985 and 1989. The 1985 gig in particular was so good. One of those great concert memories, which act as some compensation for being 63 now.

[@Ida-iu3uj]

I haven't heard this one in awhile - they've got that 60s' surf energy or something.

[@stevegreusome9961]

Always bloody Beauty's of OZ Excellence. Grateful. Thanx.

[@timpilcher2876]

Saw you guys at The Roxy a couple decades ago - loved H.G. for years
