New Model Army Live The Tube 20/01/84

New Model Army Playing Christian Militia, Smalltown England Live On The Tube 20/01/84

[@youandwhosearmy6339]

Bassist should have been so much more well-known in rock, but then again that could be said of New Model Army too. I wish he had stayed a lot longer.

[@patkelly8309]

I like Moose too

[@nothingandnobody1175]

Next level playing.

[@herridge819]

Stuart Morrow's bass is absolutely awesome!

[@graz62]

Morrow and Heaton what a driving force they were

[@matthiaskruger556]

man, NMA are still great today, but in this original formation they were out of this world. Stuart and Rob just were incredible 🙏🏼

[@madtony2531]

you took the words right out of my mouth mate, so intense

[@sparkeboosh]

Agree!!! 👍🏻

[@inthecanfilms]

Is it me or was music just so much more exciting in the 80's??

[@The.Last.Guitar.Hero.]

that bass is off the scale

[@OldManScratchingHisBalls]

Saw this on Friday and it was all we could talk about all weekend. Don't know how long it took to get the record but it was played to death that year. Smalltown England summed up the dump I grew up in. Green and the grey made me think again

[@patkelly8309]

You dirty old man.....What did Green n grey make you think different?

[@rogerkay8603]

Great comment mate

[@clivesnell]

Hard to think these guys nailed it back in the 80’s. And we still don’t get it????

[@manuelcarballo4297]

Bassist Stuart Morrow. The BEST of allí times

[@rogerkay8603]

Bass still gives me the chills, Morrow was a genius.

[@nmacog]

The band that made me pick up and learn bass - my fave band of all time hands down !

[@Cola.Cube.]

Pick lol. Class band, the bass is really the driver in most of their tunes.

[@ganz7ful]

Damn that bass line - phew! Awesome player!!!

[@TravisBickle1963]

The Best!

[@patkelly8309]

Which one

[@manuelcarballo4297]

His Name os Stuart Morrow. Great bassist

[@nothingandnobody1175]

That rhythm section is next level greatness. Amazing band. The post-punk chicken dancing in the audience is awesome.

[@thehowlingterror]

Early Friday evening entertainment on telly sure has changed. Stuff like this was broadcast live.

[@catalamod66]

The NMA's first years, the best. It sounds like a impossible mix of The Gang of four with The Southern Death Cult. anarchist gothpunk

[@wuckle]

Remember seeing this when it was first shown - Loved the Bass playing (Stu Morrow - JJ on Steroids) They lost something when he left.

[@craigmason6656]

They're still one of the finest bands to ever grace a stage. Fantastic performance, and remember watching it live on TV and being blown away with the bass line and the fans.

[@alliedfroth]

Stuart Morrow the Living Legend!

[@monicavicious5110]

This bassist is insane 😍

[@anindividual8886]

Saw this bunch of cxxts warm up for the Pogues at Glasto 84, my ears are still ringing!

[@patkelly3966]

Right

[@noelnasty]

Love Justin man and Stewart, the best combo ever.

[@sharonhazelden5834]

Aah! Brings back fond memories, moshing at gigs (what are they now?!). One of my fave bands from the 80s. Love 'em still now, some 40 years later. Still remember the words. Brilliant lyrics & guitar/bass riffs. NMA were very much underestimated. Wish I could've got to see them. Love 'em! They still rock!🤘🏻🎸😘

[@Moshingmary-fd9xw]

Lincoln next Thursday 🥰

[@svobodasimon1185]

the best band in the world. the music,the lyrics, the hypnotizing eyes and voice of Justin....still love them in 2018 as when i was a kid. and will see them on sunday 16 december 2018 in Amsterdam. again......and again....like it was the first time.

[@The.Last.Guitar.Hero.]

Love that early stuff, so bloody powerful

[@andrewgrimshaw1606]

Stuart Morrow's bass playing is out of this world

[@tracyconn3515]

Stu is one of the best bass players I've heard. Loved this band, music was so much better in the 80s.

[@tracyconn8474]

Brilliant bass player, I was into this band at school and still like them now, what a band!!!!

[@telsutton]

As brill as the future incarnations of NMA were, they never had the same intensity without Stuart. THIS is NMA.

[@MAGUS1947]

Brilliant. Saw em so many times back in the 80's. Brings back great memories to an old git!!

[@antstead2329]

Used to play along to the bass on the Vengeance LP when it came out. It was difficult..

[@marco121uk]

that bass sounds like a machine gun

[@manuelcarballo4297]

Stuart Morrow. The BEST bass player of NMA

[@marco121uk]

@@manuelcarballo4297 it's unbelievable - i am fast on the bass but jesus nowhere on that league

[@sinner48]

i first seen this when it was first aired on channel 4.it was the start of my love affair with this band ....and still going to this day seen them live countless of times .was shown on the friday and i whent out to my local record shop and bought the album ,still have it thoughb the record shop no longer is going sad to say

[@mackabee6674]

That bass line ❤️

[@patkelly8309]

Which one?

[@wodarspooky]

Just love this song, remember watching this on The Tube. The irony is nobody aspires to be different anymore, just look in any pub or club at the weekend. Barbie wannabee's everywhere and the blokes aren't any better.

[@patkelly3966]

I sense a joke in there somewhere

[@jmuk9165]

Hasn't changed still mate it's getting worse 😂

[@waywardanarchist]

back when doing the chicken cluck dance was in fashion..hahaha great stuff

[@vermilliongecko]

When you're someone's shoulders and can't move your legs, you tend to overcompensate with the arms!

[@davidmorrison6175]

Fucking as brilliant tonight as it was when I first saw it on tv in the eighties

[@ian_occultist]

Nice chicken dance in the white shirt at the beginning 😬 also dint you think the intro was probably nicked by Tony Pettit for FOTN Endemoniada ? Both quality. Another great Travis B upload for the ageing goth populis :))

[@brunostranglers2]

Merci Monsieur Travis !

[@Moshingmary-fd9xw]

Roll on Lincoln next week! Still rockin 🥰

[@23715]

Haven't seen this since my early 20s. Nothin ventured nothin gained, in small town England.

[@lucabrasi4571]

El puto mejor mejor bajo de la historia.

[@triumphadelic]

....and the bass player left the band the next day to invent strap locks! seriously though.. this performance was one of the best on The Tube and the only line up of NMA that I liked...virtuoso bass & drum players.. cant believe this is nearly 30 years ago... insane!

[@thefersko]

40 years now

[@chopyoursuey]

Invent strap locks??

100% Fantastic!

EVERYTHING!

[@brownson1970]

that AWFUL tube sound but at the same time AMAZING !!! what a truly incredible show! never will we see it again sadly

[@532bluepeter]

Just goes to prove you don't need 5 people in the band to play the music of the NEW MODEL ARMY.

[@patkelly3966]

You do if you move on with them

[@glennoc8585]

Now they have 5 plus backing tracks and sound fantastic

[@adamjg4]

That bass player.

[@jackogreen23]

wow, thanks for posting this! I never knew... :)

[@martinfitzgerald1605]

Some angry souls in the 80's but we didn't go stabbing each other

[@patkelly3966]

We got a new single out right...this isn't it :-)

[@patkelly8309]

Coming off the boat at Heysham and then driving over the Pennines down to Barnsley . NMA in the tape deck. Never felt so close to a band

Hello, I'm researching a TV documentary about NMA. I wonder if you could help: do you have by any chance have the presenters introducing the band. Would love to see that. Cheers Matt Reid

[@svobodasimon1185]
