HIS VOICE!| FIRST TIME HEARING Spandau Ballet - Gold REACTION

Awww! 🥰 you are Sooo LUCKY! Beautiful Voice❗️

[@wolf762x51]

For me, Spandau Ballet's best song that showcased Tony's vocal range and talent was "Through the Barricades." It's a very emotional song, about two young lovers , one from Northern Ireland, and one from Ireland , that had to meet and love each other sneaking through the warzone. Part of the chorus, " And we made our love on wasteland and through the barricades ." It's a very powerful song, heart wrenching, but at the end with some hope, as they signed a peace deal when they were writing the song, so he was hopeful things would work out and The Troubles would end.

[@kiwigirljacks]

YES!! 100% their best song! Actually one of my favourite songs of all time.

[@jadehunter1027]

yes yes yes through the barricades is such a great song i love it, hope they do a reaction to it 🤩

[@richy2351]

And the 12" version is even more sublime

[@calgaryjimbo]

That's my fave Spandau Ballet song as well, but Gold is a close second. Tony Hadley was one of my Top 5 fave vocalists of the 80s. Maybe Top 3...

[@sargonsblackgrandfather2072]

Through The Barricades is my favourite Spandau song!

[@lucabraga3471]

I've talked to Tony Hadley several times, he's a great man, very pleasant to talk to. He comes often to Italy, he loves my country (and especially our food!). By the way his band has had an enormous success here in Italy in the '80s. His was one of the best voices I've ever heard in a pop group.

[@Jontor11]

Yes, Spandau Ballet's Tony Hadley had one of the best voices of the 80s. This 'True' album is their best and it is crawling with great songs in there. That said, my fave Spandau Ballet song is 'Only when you leave' from their next album. Just saying if you want to do more of their songs...😀

Tony Hadley, the lead singer, was only 23 years old when this was recorded. Such a mature vocal. Spandau Ballet peaked way too early. "Only When You Leave" should be your next Spandeau Ballet reaction.

"Gold" always felt like a James Bond theme to me. Spandau Ballet was huge all over the world, but in the US, Duran Duran was the breakout band, they had far more hits in the US. Tony Hadley= amazing voice, even to this day. "True" was actually more chill than most of their music. "Only When You Leave" is another great showcase for Tony Hadley's voice.

Or if interested in their earlier New Romantic era: Glow, Paint Me Down, The Freeze, Chant no.1, Coffee Club.

Come Back and Stay - PAUL YOUNG 1983 one of the very best sounding songs of the early 80s with it's variety of instruments and an amazing voice by Paul Young

[@liz6965]

Spandau ballet and especially Tony Hadley’s incredible voice were the sound of the 80s (well for me anyway!) - he still sounds amazing today - he has not lost that distinct voice. I can spot his voice anywhere! So many great tunes of theirs to react to: this is some of their really early stuff, To Cut a Long Story Short, Chant No 1, Instinction, Lifeline, Communication, then their later stuff, Highly Strung, Only When You Leave, Round and Round, Through The Barricades. Would love to see more of them on your channel! 🙏🏽

[@gpreactions3194]

A few yeaes back the lead singer Tony Hadley went in disguise to a pub in England that were hosting a Spandau Ballet tribute act, and they were also in on it. So the singer in the tribute act invites him on stage to sing Gold and the audience who were all Spandau Ballet fans were saying how much he sounded like Tony Hadley. It was so much fun to watch, and is available on KZbin to see. And off course he does the big reveal at the end x

[@razbokaiz.3412]

Wow what a treat - I randomnly look for "Gold" reactions and my favorites Jay and Amber just uploaded it 4 hours prior! Yes, the voice of Sir Tony Hadley with Spandau is 80's Sophiste-pop at its finest. An all-around masterpiece. Give a listen to "I'll fly for you," as well.

[@MrHws5mp]

I'm going to add to the chorus of people asking you to react to 'Through The Barricades' by Spandau Ballet. It's beautiful, sad and really highlights Tony Hadley's voice. It also hits close to home for anyone in the UK because it was inspired by 'The Troubles' in Northern Ireland.

[@helindove2237]

Glad you came back to Spandau Ballet. I think Gold is a really nice song. Although I don't have any albums of this group I know these lyrics by heart. "Only When You Leave" is another hit by them. "Through the Barricades" is my favorite.

[@emiethirteen1219]

Tony Hadley is still touring and recording, and he sounds just as good today as he did then! Thanks for doing more Spandau Ballet!

[@Adam_Le-Roi_Davis.]

The lead singer is, Tony Hadley, a great vocalist, when the band started out they were part of the 'New Romantic' movement, as were 'Duran Duran'. Tracks to react to by them; 'Only When You Leave', 'I'll Fly For You', and their first single, 'To Cut a Long Story Short' which has that synth sound which Jay loves.

[@liz6965]

Yes agree I think they should go on a Spandau journey going back to their earlier new wave hits and then a few more from True Album and then towards the end up to Through the barricades - their sound is very different across those eras. Tony Hadley, one of the best!

[@annother3350]

Lets not forget Chant No.1

[@Adam_Le-Roi_Davis.]

@@liz6965 Many, particularly in America, weren't aware of their earlier stuff, I like almost all the band's output throughout their career, it would be great to react to as well, as you say, it changed so much.

[@barriehull7076]

Band members, twin brothers, Gary and Martin Kemp have made a film with each other, lyric writer Gary Kemp played the British East end gangster in The Krays (1990), brother Martin playing Ronald's twin brother Reginald. Just a suggestion for a film to react too. The success of this film was the death-knell for Spandau Ballet.

[@jessegreenwood1956]

Oh my!....Spandau it literally my favorite band of the 80's. They actually have about three "eras" of their music. Their early music when they were playing in the clubs was long, loud and fast. Then there was this particular era you are listening to now from "Gold" through "Parade" that was called their "landscape" era. Superb era. After that it got pretty eclectic....but through it all Tony Hadleys' vocals have ALWAYS been stellar! You should hear then live. There are two complete live performances one from 1987 (the height of 80's style) "Spandau ballet live at the NEC" and another that was about four years later also at the NEC in Birmingham England. The quality, vocals and instruments were superb. I also must state that you can really see and hear how all of the pieces/persons play in these live videos. They are all superb musicians. Steve Norman the Sax player plays a whole range of horns, guitar, drums and percussion. Gary Kemp lead guitarist wrote virtually all of the music. It is really worth looking up these two performances. The early one in 1987 was at the height of 1980's fashion and style. If you had to get one...get that one. They are the height of what was called the "new Romantic" genre. www.ebay.com/itm/295104334892?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&itemid=295104334892&targetid=1263104805286&device=c&mktype=&googleloc=9026280&poi=&campaignid=14859008593&mkgroupid=130497710760&rlsatarget=pla-1263104805286&abcId=9300678&merchantid=6550504&gclid=CjwKCAjwpqCZBhAbEiwAa7pXeQzoUIOdSwltzYaD93K7ipDrUnRCCcErWEZq95xHoRF1BCIkUaFbuBoC-LAQAvD_BwE They do not disappoint.

spandau was part of the 'new romantic' movement which included OMD, Japan and Duran Duran. it was mainly about style over substance but all 4 bands knocked it out of the park with only Duran having north american success. OMD has so many great tunes...souvenir, dreaming, maid of orleans, electricity, if you leave. Japan was more 'art rock'. quiet life, life in tokyo, the art of parties, ghosts. definitely a rabbit hole to dive into!

[@PjRjHj]

Japan were musically head and shoulders above the other "New Romantic" associated bands. All members were super talents who found their unique voicing on their instruments at a young age (in particularly Mick Karn and Steve Jansen). The hard part of Japan is picking the most accessible song for the new listen. I'd probably say Quiet Life, Methods of Dance, or Art of Parties

[@nancysmith8626]

I believe they also called some of these bands "sophisti-pop." Which is exactly what they were - sophisticated pop music. Never heard the phrase until a few years ago, though. To me it was always just "damn good music."

I never heard of them but I really enjoyed their sound. I have to go check their other music out now. Great review guys! :) .... Ok, I'm back. II checked out their other songs and realized I HAVE heard the song 'True' before. Love it!
