Hunters And Collectors - Throw Your Arms Around Me Sound Relief | THE WOLF HUNTERZ Reactions

[@cathyaldridge4550]

OMG, I was there. It was a concert at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (there was also one at Sydney Oval at the same time) that was put on to raise money for the victims of the Black Saturday Bushfires. I flew over from Perth (3500km) and spent the weekend. It was so incredible. So many legendary bands played. Midnight Oil reformed for this concert and it was sublime. Thanks for bringing back all these memories for me.

[@bathurstsw20]

I was at the Melbourne one when I was 9 it was a massive highlight for me to see midnight oil in my lifetime

[@monicaking2140]

I was there too, after the fires it pretty much rained the whole day

[@ellefitzpatrick6339]

I was there too.

[@jasondavies5350]

I was there as well great day

[@alanstrom2221]

Uhm, by Sydney Oval do you mean THE SCG?? The legendary and historic Sydney Cricket Ground?? I've lived in Sydney since I was born and I've never heard of The Sydney Oval.

[@someonesomewhere1600]

I live in the States now but I'm a Sydney boy and the rest of the world doesn't know what ii misses by not hearing about all our talented bands and solo artists. Our music is at least as good as anywhere on the planet. Proud.

[@dashamanstevo5326]

My graduatio song.... Class of '95. We will never forget each other

[@greypossum1]

And the best part was that everyone left their phones in their pockets instead of filming it. Just hearing this song is worth the admission fee.

[@vaughanc4919]

The best One Night Stand song ever made

[@Bobsyagod]

This and "Holy Grail" are great songs from Hunters and Collectors. They're so good to sing along to.

[@MacOrchard]

What about “When the River Runs Dry” and “Do You See What I See?”?

[@soniasurija8880]

Mark Seymour is the singer of Hunters & Collectors, his brother Nick is the founding bass guitarist of the Australian/New Zealand popular band Crowded House

[@6lillium]

Crowded House ( as well as Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam) covers this song , often to end a concert...

[@stopbunsen]

omg I didn't know that for all these years. But they even look alike

[@spy7538]

I was hoping someone would educate the masses on this.

[@johnvender]

Hunters and Collectors were the only band ever that had pretty much all the guys in the audience singing along with them "you don't make me feel like I'm a woman anymore" :)

[@peterbailey4888]

Was going to make the same comment, until i read yours

[@shirazzza]

The Doug Anthony All Stars do such a wonderful version of this. Mark Seymour is a legend though

[@RolandDeschain1]

Every Australian is reduced to tears by this song.

[@samuraidarryl]

Ok by now you must realise that Australians are very passionate about their music and rightly very proud. There is SO much iconic music that has been created by so many fabulous talented artists that people around the world are not aware of. A lot of the music you are recommended to react to is from when the world was bigger as there was either no internet or it was fledgling. This is an example of the music we grew up with and it’s all so iconic. We all bought into music from US & UK etc but we also have intense passion for music that is ours!!! I hope you are getting the idea that this convict island is a marvellous place to live and music created here that we get to watch live is just one part of the magic. Oh and I just want to say that I find your channel awesome and watch as much of your content that I can. Sadly you will probs never see this comment as you guys are so busy and so many comments on so many vids.

[@michaelmolloy365]

I saw the Hunters in pubs a heap of times. never disappointed!

[@tomwild7105]

I saw these guys In Calgary Canada back in the 80's. One of my favorite concerts! I saw Mark, the lead singer, get into a fight with a guy in the crowd. Incredible concert, incredible night! I played this song at my wedding.

[@veejay926]

OMG! I was there too. What an event. What memories.

[@6lillium]

I saw this band open for Midnight Oil.... Best concert from opener to finish I ever attended. A party for 3&1/2 hours straight. Down under holy Trinity of underappreciated bands... Crowded House, Midnight Oil, and Hunters and Collectors

[@peterflynn2111]

Add Rose Tattoo and Angels

[@stevepitt1414]

I've heard somewhere that this is Eddie Vader's favourite song of all time. He first heard by Crowded House. He performs it at many gigs. There's also a video on KZbin of him performing it with Mark Seymour

[@alphaomega7191]

Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder loves this song and has covered it live a bunch of times.

This is the thing with Aussie bands live , its an emotional experience , wether it be Cold Chisel , Aussie crawl , Crowded House , Hunters etc etc

[@Skoora]

So glad I got to see these guys live before I left Australia in “89. Living in Perth back then you didn’t get to see these band a lot as it’s so damn far to come from Melbourne and Sydney for just one city. Experiencing The Slab, loud and 6ft in front of you at a sweaty, Uni gig was religious!

[@Mrmikey0909]

Hunters in the early years were up there with best ever live band you could see. A beast of a band.

[@Joshualuv13]

Hunters and collects a another iconic Aussie band ..always a treat to be get to participate in this song ..Very special one for us Aussies..The 80's was a special time for our music industry.We had time of our lives,very lucky.

[@shaneo2589]

Lol. The song is about having a one night stand and he dedicated it to his mother

[@mizpahshearer1659]

This song is about the one night stand. Love it xxx

[@awf6554]

You guys need to listen to early Hunters and Collectors "Talking to a stranger". It's savage - right up your alley I reckon.

[@Tully_23_32]

Eddie Vedder absolutely loves this so much so it's apart of his set for Pearl Jam concerts. Eddie was stoked to be able to sing with Mark in Perth during a Pearl Jam tour of Australia. Eddie sings it well but Mark showed him up big time, the passion Mark sings with is spine tingling, tears in ur eyes. Even if Mark's standing on stage right next to one of the biggest rock stars in the world, backed by one of the biggest bands of all time

[@karenglenn6707]

Australia has song of the best musicians and bands in the world, to me Aussie music is unique, my fav era for music is the 70s. I love your reaction videos to Aussie bands keep up the great reaction videos!!!

[@macman1469]

It is sometimes referred to as an Ode to the one night stand.

[@elenawilliams32]

Or the Aussie blokes love song. 😂

[@elenawilliams32]

One of the best performances I've seen was Mark Seymour doing an acoustic set at the 'Twighlight at the Zoo' sessions in Melbourne. They were awesome live, first time I saw them was at 15years old sneaking into The Seaview Ballroom which gave a few of our great bands a start like Boys Next Door/ Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. -Im getting old.

[@leebay6093]

You must watch their early video Talking to a Stranger, classic Hunters

[@Crankinsurf7000]

This was the Sound Relief concert at the MCG. Had a great day and saw some great bands. The male singers at the back are actually the horn section of Hunters who call themselves the Horns of Contempt.

[@johnkassavetis9301]

I was there, down the back, singing at the top of my voice Hunters and Collectors were the highlight for me One of the best Aussie bands ever PS I love the way you guys put up alot of Aussie rock bands Give the Angels, Rose Tattoo, Screaming Jets a look in Just to name a few Keep up the good work and don't stop rockin'👍👍

[@johnforde7735]

This is an Aussie classic. This song is sung around campfires etc., because it only has 3 chords, but a lot of heart. Everybody in Australia knows it.

[@davidhines68]

"Lumps of Lead," "The Slab or Bettys Worry," and "Tow Truck" are some awesome H&C tunes as well.

I get the feeling you 2 wonderful young people have a "sweet relationship" also. Couples dedicated to each other like yourselves makes the the world so much more beautiful.

[@ellefitzpatrick6339]

A fantastic rabbit hole to go down. This is my favourite H&C song.

[@ggfuuposw]

FYI this song is about a one-night stand, down and dirty. The Huters were and are one of Australia's best bands. They never achieve the radio success they should have but were one of the most popular live shows. I was had the good fortune to see them many times on the Pub circuit in the 80's and 90's.....

[@brontepetropoulos4755]

When the river runs dry is a great song

[@raymckee2450]

Pearl Jam made this part of their song list while they were in Australia. This guy, Mark Seymour sang it with Eddy Veder

[@rachelmaree4069]

I adore this song. ❤️

[@neild3074]

Melbourne has a deep heritage of urban folk rock. You can hear this kind of music live in local bars, cafe's and buskers on street corners.

[@sandrarobinson3266]

We used to Rock out to H&C in Pubs and Outdoor small concerts often in the Tropical heat Smashing back Tequila and Few Tokes for all, some times wonder how survived this long, our Kids are in that crowd little do they know what we got up to.

[@jayweb51]

This concert was held on March 14th 2009 at the MCG in front of 80,518 fans, it was held to raise funds for not only the bushfire victims but also those ravaged by the floods in south-east Queensland.

[@antmac2545]

Great Australian band, I saw Pearl Jam cover this song at a concert in Perth Australian in the early 00s. Awesome !!

[@elenawilliams32]

They did the same in Melbourne. One of my favourite bands covering one of my favourite bands. Brilliant.

[@vanbeast11gaming86]

Loving your videos guys! You bring such a beautiful energy in your reactions ❤

[@OronOfMontreal]

The original studio version was moe uptempo and Mark Seymour's voice, in the 1980s, was smoother. It has so much more character, now he's older. During the Crowded House Farewell show in 1996, C.H. performed the chorus a couple of times and had the audience singing along, in complete tears. The C.H. bassist, Nick, is brother to Mark Seymour, writer and lead vocals for Hunters and Collecters.

[@robhaunui3343]

My favourite Australian band of all time,they were the best. Saw them every time they played here in New Zealand from 1982 -98,and New Zealand was also their biggest market as well,having the most hits here. But "Throw Your Arms Around Me" was often considered the greatest love song of the 80s down under. This version is totally different than the original,but that's not a bad thing,as this is truly a sing along anthem as seen here. If you think this is typical of what Hunters and Collectors sound is all about,it couldn't be further removed from their earlier industrial sound (which I preferred) especially classics like "Talking To A Stranger","Run Run Run","The Slab","Lumps Of Lead".

[@mfactor88]

THE SLAB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@sandrarobinson3266]

So cool to see people just enjoying show, really experiencing it without trying to film it on phones, really hate phones at concerts, back in antient times Many Big Bands had a no Camera Rule, would love same rule for phones. You do not need film whole concert just to prove you were there. We just kept ticket popped it in Photo Album.

[@mfactor88]

Australias greatest live band. saw them many time in the early 80s. used to drive Mark Seymour (the lead singer)nuts, with drunken shouts of The Slab! The Slab! but he'd play along for laughs. Then eventually play it for us. Wonderful times, we'll never hear again :( they tried to crack the international market but failed, sadly. try their earlier stuff for some amazing sounds!

[@barbararees604]

Hey guys, these guys kept us going on the rock scene when things were looking glum, with all the techno, rap and karaoke scene, seemed it would never end in the late 80's and through the 90's. One of my favourite songs of theirs is 'talking to a stranger', have a listen, I think you'll like it better, being the hard rock fans you are. Also, while you're at it, you might like to check out the radiators, a very typical and much loved Aussie pub rock band.

Chuck in "Holy Grail" which has special significance from the AFL grand final on the weekend. But for me their best song was "When the river runs dry". Guess I'm geared to the negative in life. Shit getting worse is far more likely than love, even short term love that's lost.

Wow this song is about his mother.. really?? I always thought it had sexual connotations like "shed your skin and lets get started", and "I will kiss you in 4 places".
