Rocket From The Crypt - On A Rope Top Of The Pops BBC TV UK

[@kirstieoxley3254]

One of the best performances ever on TOTP for me, so memorable

[@jools77]

Anyone still playing this awesome track loud in 2021? 🤘 Sabbath riff, and a quality not bettered until QOTSA

[@richiarata8104]

One of the greatest TOTP appearances of all time. RIP Neil.

[@livinghere1972]

Remember this as a teen. I was confused why this Elvis looking guy was singing hard rock. Liked it though,

[@ArthurNibble]

The presenter was Julia Carling, the transmission date was 6th September 1996, and the lads weer back on the show the next week as a new entry agonisingly just outside the top 10,

[@oldsynth]

well said....glad that some people out there are on my wavelength.

[@TheClues78]

Lovin her comment at the end "I have just got to get that record". I suspect she nearly did, but then went for Enigma: The Greatest Hits instead. This song reminds me of what good pop rock was in the 90's before EMO sucked any credibility out of it. Bring back Terrorvision as well.

[@kevinlock1584]

Song came to me a few minutes ago.Grew up with this song!

[@RayquazaSymbol14]

the best band in the land.

[@TheCultOfNick]

Awesome!

[@GirlessOrphanChannel]

pretty sure that only the vocals are live. no one on the stage's playing the main riff in the chorus. this pretty sucks because RFTC were awesome live, and i'm sure it was not their decision, but surely TOTP obliged them to do that. they were one of the greatest band ever, though.

[@gimmeblackcoffee]

Curious if anyone every played live on TOTP? Suppose a quick Google search will tell me....

[@cprince10]

Did they do this on TOTP twice? It's a different performance to the one remember...Still good though.

[@oldsynth]

you are right cprince10, they must have because the one that I've got on vhs isn't this one.

[@colclimb]

Haha! inconsiderate camera work at 1.28 Bet the bassist was glad he wasn't actually playing live...

[@suthes]

The dont still do it because this was 1995 and the shows not on anymore

[@dave790]

@TheClues78 yeah. the days when bands like terrorvision did well (arguably not well enough) in the charts and injected a bit of honest fun pop rock to proceedings. and the fucking radio would actually support it.

[@JudeIceCool3000]

*shudders* "Scouting For Girls" *shudders* I'm all for banning nukes but they deserve one lol

[@13teenthfloor]

Err. I think you'll find they had a LOT of 'good ones' .... Granted this was their biggest and most well known single in the UK.

[@DaleDucktail]

Im branded. Link wray
