FIRST TIME HEARING Big Country - In A Big Country REACTION

A hugely underrated band. Could best be described as Celtic Rock with their distinctive Scottish sound and bagpipe guitars. They released a whole load of fab songs similar to this one in the early to mid 80s.

underrated how??

[@Chicagoclee]

Very, very popular band of the 80's

[@ronaldobrien6870]

@@Chicagoclee I don't think they're as well known these days as they should be. Say the name 'Big Country' and I imagine a lot of younger music fans have never even heard of them.

[@paulsmith2516]

As a fan of Stuart Adamson since 78 and a fan of BC from day 1, and as a friend of Stuart, (they are from my hometown) please let me tell you, categorically and unequivocally, IT'S NOT FUCKING BAGPIPES, NOTHING LIKE BAGPIPES IN ANY WAY! The sound Stuart and Bruce are invoking here is that of the Scottish folk music that they, and I grew up hearing in Fife, which is played on fiddle and accordion. Bagpipes in Scotland are EXCLUSIVELY an instrument of war, of the military. Sorry, rant over but the 'B' word has been plaguing and pissing off the band for nearly 40 years now.

[@ronaldobrien6870]

@@paulsmith2516 Er, I said "bagpipe guitars" not "bagpipes" (though even that would be a misnomer, as it was clearly just some sort of sound effect they were using with regular electric guitars).

They never used bagpipes but were renowned for being able to make their guitars sound like bagpipes.

I don't want to be the "aCkTsHuAlLy" guy, but just as a piece of trivia; they did feature pipes on 2013's "Hail and Farewell" off of The Journey.

The lyric, "pull up your head off the floor, come up screaming" really speaks to me today. One month ago today I lost my Dad to covid. I haven't heard this song in many years and just a few days ago it came on the radio and it really spoke to me. I am thankful for this song and I love your breakdown and reaction to listening to this song. I know that I will feel better with time, I will always feel a void, missing my Dad. I Love you Dad, rest easy. "I'm not expecting to grow flowers in a desert, but I can live and breathe and see the sun in wintertime"... I will somehow manage to "pull up my head off the floor, come up screaming!!!!"

[@luckyboy4766]

Their first album 'The Crossing' is a masterpiece. Big Country were truly unique. They were all great musicians individually - but together they were special. The rhythm section of Mark Brzezicki on drums and Tony Butler on bass laying the foundations for the searing double lead guitars of Bruce Watson and singer Stuart Adamson. RIP Stuart.

[@seancagney8897]

That album from start to finish is flawless IMO.... The Crossing is one of the most criminally underrated albums of the 80s hands down..

[@LeeDfined]

"I'm not expecting to grow flowers in a desert, but I can live and breathe to see the sun in winter time." Love that line.

My mum who's not with me any more was Scottish and Big Country were played loud and proud in our house, fantastic band with great songs. Thanks for the nostalgia, makes me happy and sad

[@brucebrewer36]

This was the first album I ever bought with my own money at KMart in 1983. I was 13 and am 51 now. It is one of the best debut albums in rock and roll history. If you have not listened to Big Country, The Crossing, you've missed out.

[@davidcox30004]

Tony Butler is the bassist and is crazy underrated. This band was sadly too good. The lead singer Stuart Adamson was a huge influence to the band U2. U2 guitarist The Edge said that the early work of Stuart’s from the band The Skids made most other music from the time seem mundane and insignificant. Bono from U2 once said that he wished he had written songs that Big Country did. That’s high praise from very influential musicians.

[@paulsmith2516]

The guitarist that Stuart made look the most mundane and insignificant was Edge himself. Stuart was a truly inspirational and unique guitarist whereas Edge simply can't even play guitar, his bank of electronic effects play it for him. U2 simply don't have a career without BC, full stop.

[@johnny5805]

I remember the front page of Melody Maker had Stuart on the cover. The headline - "The man who invented The Edge".

[@johnny5805]

@@paulsmith2516 That's true. Edge was in the crowd for some Skids gigs, and readily admits that Stuart's open string playing caused him to completely change his style of playing.

[@maryreilly5092]

We went on a family cruise to the Bahamas in 1987. Our dinner partners, (you eat with the same people every night at the formal dinners), and we had the great pleasure of dining with 2 young Scotsman, our own ages, that we became great friends with for many years after! Our very first conversation with them was about this great band. That was all the ice breaker we needed! We loved this band and so did they, of course!

[@ElymentsMusicCA]

Forgot to mention that the iconic bagpipe sound you're hearing is really from a guitar, using a device called an EBow.

[@roddymorrison1437]

The sound is actually made using an MXR pitch transposer guitar pedal. They did use the Ebow but not as often as claimed in the press. Most noticeably they used it on the songs The Storm and also Porroh Man from the debut album The Crossing but for the sound that most call the bagpipe sound it was the MXR pedal and the technique of using the open drone string where the string above the one being played was left to ring as it were when played.

[@ElymentsMusicCA]

@@roddymorrison1437 Great to know, thanks for the clarification!

[@sarahjane8146]

Jaw drop-my husband never liked this band “because of the bagpipes.” LOL

I’m a longtime big fan of Big Country, saw them perform this live many times. Anyone who did not experience a BC gig in the 1980s and 1990s- sorry you missed them. I think the audio version in this clip is an extended remix, hence the different intro.

[@WD5035]

Seen these guys live and been a fan for 40 years. Have every album and single. Also Facebook friends with their bass player Tony Butler who is gracious enough to answer questions on recording techniques and gear. Also Facebook friends with their drummer Mark Brzezicki and again….responds to fans. This was their first single. Almost fell off my chair when I first heard this and the rest is history. Never seen anyone do a reaction to Big Country. Their lead singer Stu Adamson committed suicide in December 2001. This really brings back memories. Totally underrated band. Bass player Tony Butler and drummer Mark Brzezicki were playing for Pete Townsend prior to Big Country, so that’s why the serious creative chops. Great video brother! Thank you!

Great Scottish band, mistakenly thought of as a one hit wonder but they actually had a big following. They used various techniques to mimic violins and bagpipes on the guitar. One of the things they used was the E-bow, which you hold next to guitar strings to cause them to vibrate. It's definitely worth checking out more of their music. They were also a fantastic live band.

[@alisueblogs9029]

They're still on the go despite the tragic loss of Stuart Adamson!

Yes! Kills me that I never got to see them live, but I've watched a ton of live footage that blew me away.

[@speleokeir]

I think they're only considered a one-hit-wonder in the US. In the UK they had plenty of hits and were contemporaries of U2 and Simple Minds. The late, great DJ John Peel once rated Stuart Adamson as second only to Jimi Hendrix as a guitarist. Personally they're one of my all time favourite bands and made so many fantastic songs.

[@patches6309]

This is one of the best reactions I have ever seen merely due to the fact that you actually decided mid video to check out the audio version which is literally 10X better. Your complete lack of caring for standard protocol like others follow is perfect in this case because now you showed alot of people how different studio versions can literally be for not only this band but many artists as well. Great Job Jay!

[@mangerinegirl]

YESSSS!!! I voted for this one, I’m so glad it won! I just knew you’d get the message and appreciate this one. From my limited knowledge of this band, I can tell you that they were Scottish and they purposely made the guitar sound like bagpipes. It’s genius. This one also helps me get through tough times, it reminds me to look for the light in the darkness. I’m happy you also listened to the audio version because it sounds so wrong without that instrumental intro! And that “Come up screaming!” at the beginning. SO GOOD.

[@michaelbragg6903]

Stuart was inspired by the Scottish folk music he heard growing up. He wanted to bring that same feeling to Big Country music. The first version of the band had a keyboard player. That version was kicked off of an Alice Cooper UK tour.

Stuart has and will always been my lyrical and musical hero. They had a song for every aspect of my life and wrote the soundtrack for it. BC never wrote a bad song when he was at the helm. Rest in Peace my friend.

big country (from scotland) came out in '83, the same year U2 (from ireland) released their breakthrough album WAR. both albums featured strong rock 'n roll, anthemic melodies, SOARING and prominent guitars, which at the time was not being done, so they kinda got grouped together as the NEW SOUND of modern rock lol. stuart adamson, big country's vocalist, in the '90s moved to either nashville or memphis and tried unsuccessfully to go into country/western music. somehow he ended up depressed and in honolulu where sadly he took his own life.

They are indeed Scottish, from Dunfermline in Fife, one of many big artists from our humble wee toon. The only thing I must pull you up on is your comparison of the guitar sound to bagpipes. This is a comparison that has haunted the band since day 1. They, and us fans effing HATE that word. They are actually taking inspiration from the Scottish folk music that they and I grew up hearing. This music is played entirely on fiddle and accordion and that is the tones you are hearing. That said, thank you again for the video and am delighted, but not at all surprised that you liked them.
