Drummer is an absolute beast, looks like he has multiple sets of arms at times

[@addradz]

How awesome is the drumming? Brings so much urgency to such an otherwise chilled song!

[@peterjones6321]

This particular Ride track holds a persistent position in my personal Top 10 favourite tracks. It's one I never tire of hearing.

[@BrickDavis]

It is quite frankly stand out of a bunch of gems...beautiful.

[@holly8222]

I agree, classic ride ❤️

[@seanmcnally4818]

Favorite song by Ride. Loz Colbert is amazing, one of the best drummers ever, period! Andy Bell, the guitarist and lead singer of this song, was the bassist for Oasis for 11 years after Ride broke up in 1997, before reuniting.

[@Parrish_Muhoberac]

@peterjones6321 Man, I grew up listening to this song. I know it's in a radio station where there isn't much ambience, but you just gave me an idea! I'm going to take the audio, apply a simple amount of reverb to each instrument as I would mixing any other song for someone, but the SAME reverb they used on the original, and post it. You're right. This song, and RIDE, have shaped my musicianship in ways that most of the "session" musicians I've worked with simply do not understand. Can't wait to follow up on what you said.

[@kylethomas9673]

When i saw this live, i almost shit my pants. So fucking awesome. Loz is a god.

[@cyyytr0n]

that drummer still got it, damn

[@BGlasnost]

Yea he fuckin killed it

[@Musicsification]

Totes!

[@Bruin_ffs]

They all did

[@rufousyates4629]

Larry Mullen on Meth

[@Parrish_Muhoberac]

@cyytr0n Yeah, he's a machine. They ALL still got it, damn!!!

[@Jamo1098]

That drumming is masterful

[@final_mile_music9713]

loz is the best.

[@ianglass9426]

I love Ride. So glad they are still playing together. This sounds immense.

[@horsemanpit8812]

The drumming tarantula...

[@littlesquidward8117]

Was that pun intentional

[@noah4189]

Yes

[@Parrish_Muhoberac]

HAHA that is an AWESOME way of putting it... as if he has 8 limbs. I get it. It's a PITY that the "Tarantula" album didn't portray that AT ALL... I have a very first pressing of the album as I was working at Warner Music at the time - you can hear the audio fading in and out (as in old, re-recorded 2 inch tape) on number of occasions.

[@klausbrass2147]

Eight miles high... I love Ride and their harmony singing !!!

[@Parrish_Muhoberac]

They are brilliant, and I'm seeing them in Sydney, 9th August. Get this - they are also playing a 5 A.M. show at the same place for those who are probably still awake (for um.. haha... any number of reasons LOL)

[@synthmalicious7541]

The Beatles influence is very obvious in this one I love it

[@seancrossey466]

Also really reminds me of I am the Resurrection by Stone Roses

[@renaatsenechal]

"Taxman" bassline (though I like seagull more)

[@147breaks]

@@renaatsenechal start by the Jam iis taxman! Dead same !

[@chibuku1]

Drumming is pure Keith Moon

[@jonasmaya941]

its similar to Tomorrow Never Knows

[@cemcem2479]

My eyes are sore, my body weak My throat is dry, I cannot speak My words are dead, falling like feathers to the floor Falling like feathers to the floor You gave me things I'd never seen You made my life a waking dream But we are dead, falling like ashes to the floor Falling like ashes to the floor Definitions confine thoughts, they are a myth Words are clumsy, language doesn't fit But we know there's no limit to thought We know there's no limits Now it's your turn to see me rise You burned my wings, now watch me fly above your head Looking down I see you far below Looking up you see my spirit glow

[@MarioGomez-nd2mx]

Brilliant 👍

[@tadsomato1940]

Still love this band. Timeless songs. These guys had a handle on how to weave melody, harmony, rhythm and noise into something danceable.

[@Parrish_Muhoberac]

Hey for anyone in Australia, they are coming here around the 9th August - and playing 2 gigs each night/morning at each venue.. 9pm and 5 AM!!!

[@lostestigosdelmetalm7817]

I will never tire of listening to this band, their compositions were of another level ..

[@pikeconnor186]

30 years ago I was a member of the Ride fan club, when I found them live on KEXP well that made my day. Thankyou Ride

[@BenBopALula]

Oh my... I didn't listen to this since the 90's. I feel so old and so young at the same time. Still efficient anyway.

[@thelsdaysband]

Best drummer

[@musoseven8218]

That sounds awesome, best live version I've heard👍✌️😊😊

[@Unclefunkle999]

AMAZING!!! what an incredible band.

[@09Redwood]

Absolutely wicked performance guys! Remember you smashing this out as opener at gigs back in the 90s! What a tune

[@deluxedoorman]

Loz always kills it

[@dudemanaric]

Incredible.. So underrated!

[@final_mile_music9713]

What a f@#$king tune. Really enjoyed this live this spring in Boston for the Nowhere 30 tour.

[@justjae4267]

Great Walkman memories

[@richardcardoza1895]

That fucking Jersey 🤙🏽

[@hardtosay4321]

Best clip of Seagull I know..

[@elsapakopoulou6759]

Timeless and always speechless

[@elleblackmusic]

[@dazmalski]

The harmonies are spot on.

[@matteframe]

[@jobvanderdoelen6512]

[@Rover2011Mr]

I-LOVE-THIS-SONG

[@mheberling5939]

"Nowhere" is legendary.

[@brunokoch672]

Saw them live in 1990. Best concert ever.

[@final_mile_music9713]

Me too Nottingham. And then again this year in Boston US. Amazing.

[@mrkikkoman5861]

[@mrkikkoman5861]

10000000% the best and there are still the top band im my list… Evergreen.. Shoegaze forever

[@MiloDC]

Ride haven't been shoegaze since their first couple of EPs, LOL

[@blakemcnamara9105]

That riff taken right from Taxman.

[@thelsdaysband]

Perfect

[@jriosc90]

Magic!!! :)

[@TutoriDelDisordine]

Absolutely amazing! I simply love The Ride

[@norbertovelazquez2366]

[@NickyKeatinge-my9wf]

[@davidmcgough8736]

[@porkchopTopHat]

[@gmj1able]

[@dukeofyorkshire355]

F***** h***! As good as ever. In fact, probably better than in the old days.

[@jenivaldopinhosantospinho2438]

Top....top...top...

[@salty2667]

Jim ... I hear ya Man...

[@mikenora9336]

I love RIDE😆👍👍👍

[@yellowtango]

holy shit

[@iosonoNessuno138]

any info on the drummer's t-shirt? a killer one

[@abouaziz7]

Waouww ! 💪

[@Olegzyan]

Отлично! годный музон!

[@normthebaker7305]

My idea of the perfect post pandemic evening: a small intimate club featuring both Ride and Stereolab in no particular order.

[@user-hr4ss4ro2y]

ロックの教科書に載るような完璧な演奏！

[@DiogoSilva-ht3rm]

Ô louco, bicho

[@matthewdevereux1288]

Fucking awesome.

[@viniciusoliveira1987]

Missing some shoegaze core on the guitars but it still rocks. Such a great song, one of my favours of them.

[@al_6229]

Yeah doesn’t really capture that “wall of sound” but still great

[@MiloDC]

Apt. Nowhere isn't even a shoegaze album. Hilarious that so many people think it is.

[@manjol6013]

Je crois que j'aimerais bien être le producteur de ride pour 4 ou 5 chansons.

[@salty2667]

These dude use to have cool hair! There guitar sound was trancendrix? And the drummer was sick! Still cool!

[@rusolarusso8372]

They were so young when they encountered success with their music. And since they were tired of touring after releasing Going Blank Again, and the thing about Gardener and Bell being kinda like the leaders, that led to Carnival of Light and their later separation.

[@Diamond_Skies]

I ADORE LOZ COLBERT SO f#@*ing MUCH!!!!

[@evanphillips570]

Anyone know what backwards delay pedal Andy is using in this?

[@electromuff7870]

Andy's using the Eventide TimeFactor

[@richardhubbard6786]

Who invited Zac Dingle to play lead Guitar...........seriously......love you ride chaps...xxxxx

[@dazmalski]

Taxman with transcendant harmonies

[@synthmalicious7541]

How does his Rickenbacker sound like it’s not a 12 string?

[@DavidFregoli]

This is like a well-oiled machine

[@allnerve3124]

Drumeo must make a challenge for a drummer to this song.

[@youiti2nz]

BIGBLOCKBAND！BBB

[@salty2667]

Beautiful Beautiful Guitars.. The Drummers ok...

[@luisalejandrorgzguerrero8691]

¿It's me or they actually sound like the Stone roses?

[@emmooldmod]

miles better than Stone Roses (although I like them also)

[@keatsgrant]

reni … hold my beer
