karl marx once said that art should be as radical as life itself. gang of four are one of best rock bands of all time. r.i.p. andy gill. you are not forgotten.

[@MrHisperia2001]

The ultimate Prog band 💫❤️☝️Gang of Four ❤️

[@spensert4933]

Thwack bum bump. Thwack bum bump.... Greatest beat ever.

[@jerichothedrifter60]

Tribal. Like jungle drums.

[@thesilencers13]

Never thought of the beat that way....but yea contender fore the Greatest Beat ever :) !

[@Schneedle.Ska69]

RIP Mr Andy Gill. I am glad I witnessed your greatness.

[@BadstreetMI]

Nobody, and I mean nobody can touch the sonic landscapes of the incredible Gang Of Four.

[@gentillygirl545]

Sonic landscapes is such a beautiful and true way to put it!

[@user-hb1rg5jp9n]

Hugo and Sara ! Great rhythm section!

[@birdzzzondayflu2489]

I would pay 100 modern dollars to see this incarnation

[@TheHousePanther]

GOD DAMMIT this is SO good. I was only 6 when this was happening....although a young GEN Xer, a GEN Xer nonetheless, and this is what I was raised on. Where is this music today? Where are the clubs? Oh, that's right, they need fans. WTF is wrong with you millennials?!?!?!

[@donaldarkelian1008]

I'll always regret never catching even one gig. Rest In Peace Mr. Andy Gill. Fantastic guitar player.

[@ianwalker3950]

Yeah me too. RIP

[@stevetrue5337]

I could fill time with this all day long

[@pullthereins]

When I first heard this song, and the drums kicked in, I was like WTF is that... Totally blew my mind. Those drum parts aren’t by any means typical. Special thanks to Wade Wright for suggesting this gem!!!

[@mavjimbo]

I know,you're not quite ready for something like that to kick in

[@pullthereins]

@@mavjimbo Exactly! After I heard the whole album for the first time, I knew then and there that Solid Gold would be one of my all time favorite albums.

[@emilyoshiro]

Hugo on drums

[@pullthereins]

One of the best albums ever made!!! I’ve never heard a more cohesive album. Brilliantly written and recorded.

[@mavjimbo]

Sounds as great now as it did back then

[@pullthereins]

@@mavjimbo I agree 100% The lineup on Solid Gold were onto something truly unique. It’s a shame that they disbanded.

[@gangoffour6690]

True, greatness is greatness. It knows no time period.

[@tonyboughman8050]

RIP Andy Gill such a loss...

[@vals_loeder]

Rest in peace Andy and thank you for all your great music.

[@devoarepunk]

What a song

[@sophoclese65]

Hell yeah! Raw, rowdy and rock steady. These guys (and gal) were the real deal on more levels than one.

[@SoulStylistJukeBox]

This is fucking fantastic!

[@iluvspam6]

This is one of the the songs that absolutely changed my trajectory in life. A thank you to those from the Lackawana/Buffablo area , from the early '80's. Wow. TSU Trogans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@gangoffour6690]

My favorite song by them. Saw them live a few times. Always great 👍🏼

[@eamonwright7488]

Even though Entertainment was an amazing album, I always like Solid Gold better and this was my favorite song on it. Sadly whenever they came to the US it was never close to my city. Rip Andy

[@user-hb1rg5jp9n]

Caught them in ‘82 City Gardens in Trenton Nj. Great show!

[@th3gr81]

Andy Gil is an amazing guitarist.

[@roylaporte6541]

I heard a story that he did some sessions with Scritti Politti for the Cupid and Psyche album, but they were never used. Couple of songs on that where there are manic guitar breaks... done by Paul Jackson Jr.

[@dianaswan4187]

miss the 80s,some of the best times of my life was@First Ave,Mpls

[@irshgrl500]

OMG, his music was life changing. F,,,ing Miss him. RIP Andy.

[@maxwelter8611]

fucking brilliant

[@casaraku1]

great song great beat.....

[@jamesbelljr7987]

Great live version of one of my favorite GO4 singles

[@kappe53]

PURE MUSIC = FANTASTIC

[@lloydhentleyjr8909]

11/8/20 MY LOVE FOR THIS SONG BROUGHT ME HERE TODAY!!!

[@basvogelvang]

I saw them in SO36 in Berlin in may 1981. What we all want was the first song after the break. Burnham walked through the audience, jumped on the stage, and started hitting the tom toms. Unforgettable.

[@daniels.2720]

Legend

[@jeffhamblin8825]

This version of What We All Want from Zagreb in 1981 is my favorite. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qoa2qJJon9B3oK8 I caught the tour a few weeks later in Pasadena.

[@davidtalbot9325]

RIP Andy. You were the best.

[@akisasimakopoulos7639]

Amazing storming group!!

[@stanhenderson7393]

Amazing.

[@wombuster]

Hugo killin' it!!! How did that relationship ever end?!? THis is incomparable.

[@pullthereins]

Right!!! I wish that the original bass player was sharing this stage.

[@mlingus50]

Imagine these cats opening for Iggy Pop , what a mindfck, Hollywood Palladium 1981

[@MrKgb63]

Weird. I saw them open up for Iggy the year before (1980) at the Santa Monica Civic and yes, that was a mindfck. Also, Iggy threw his beer on my hippy friend I dragged to the show. So funny. Strangely, I went to the Iggy palladium show you mention but missed the opening band. I don't think GOF played though as I was a giant fan and would have not missed them. Memory plays strange tricks.

[@bearballin]

mlingus50 no need to imagine, I caught their showcase in '81 at the Country Club in Reseda. Blew us away!

[@johnfeodorov]

I thought that was the Santa Monica Civic, Iggy's Soldier tour?

[@MrsMars-zu3hl]

Brilliance!

[@carloscasillero4422]

What a band!!!

[@spensert4933]

Bringing da funk.

[@LarsDiederichsen]

New Wave as its best...good old times...

[@laserazor181]

Damn that was good!

[@TheDavidtk240]

KILLER TRIBAL!!!! Get on the dancefloor bitch....Thanks for the post! GOF most under rated...

[@darrinpollard8038]

That 83 Sweet spot...

[@stephanvenner2939]

R.I.P. Andy Gill.

[@FunkATeer-qk7hq]

One of my favourite bands; they're actually on tour currently 💜🤘🏾

[@michaelpownall9229]

Sweat bang sweat wack sweat boom sweat thud.... . Love it.

[@gizmotv9320]

Brilliant rhythm section

[@carloferrari487]

Great!

[@kameronnaeole7680]

Damn

[@folklorish]

Andy Gill is playing a Burns Magpie guitar. I've never seen anyone using one of those before!

[@AFaceintheCrowd01]

And wanted only solid state amps. Plus NO REVERB!

[@cindynj]

Thank You❤️❤️❤️😎🦞🎶🎶🐝

[@peladocure]

Maravilloso

[@johnozed]

Good innings Andy, cheers!

[@Bends95]

Andy Gill is looking into your soul

[@jesslee90804]

classic! woooo memories!

[@club_lowfi]

yeah Sara.......

[@haywoodsmith2822]

Busta Jones did it better. Even Dave Allen on the original recording was better than this. Sara Lee is a good bass player but this song deserves more funk from the bass...

[@marissac870]

Bloody awesome. Someone said my band hada gabd of four vibe. I knew that was a compliment . Have gotten into them and appreciate the style. Fuck. Dig it so hard

[@clarkj1045]

God I can hear Primus so much here! Even the strange guitar sounds, just like Larry Lalonde!!

[@Bends95]

Clark J I see what you mean..I hear Jerry Was A Race Car Driver

[@jamesbelljr7987]

Gang of 4 started in 1976..Primus in 1984,so when you hear Primus,you are actually hearing the GO4 instead of the other way around

[@eamonwright7488]

Check Out "Blind Illusion" It was Mike Minor, Les Claypool, Larry Lalonde, and Mark Biederman at one point in the early 80's. I thought they kicked ass! Sausage "Riddles are Abound Tonight" was always my favorite Primus side project, even though it was the original lineup Of Les, Tod Huth and Jay Lane. They released it in 1994. IT was the only album other than a demo they released in 1988.

[@daniels.2720]

Primus > after Stump also

[@urbanbeets]

seen them live in San Fran in 1985

[@AFaceintheCrowd01]

1980 SF American Indian Center on Valencia. Incredible.

[@rederickfroders1978]

POWERFULL

[@TooSkinnyKenny]

I'd hoped the whole album would be this funky

[@lextual]

I thought it was.

[@noahholt7489]

I agree. This song is quite representative of the entire Solid Gold album.

[@deconcoder]

@@noahholt7489 great album

[@kevinammons1374]

I was one of those guys who always thought that a great guitar ride was the best thing one could do with guitar until I heard Andy Gill. Now those guitar rides bore me. The problem is that I havn't seen anyone who does this as well as Andy Gill.

[@MrHoefnix]

I'm really amazed by Andy Gill's original style that lacks solos or any traditional method. That doesn't mean I don't like guitarists like Ritchie Blackmore or Brian May. They all have specific qualities of their own.

[@ponderguy7724]

Have a listen to Stupidy by Dr Feelgood and you will hear Andy Gills inspiration

[@RainsWorldVegasSlots]

Badasss

[@arkantika3927]

Andy Gill produced the debut album by R.H.C.P. Fun fact

[@anthonysclafani3963]

Mike Rogers 😮😮

[@augustodelazzari3936]

The R.H.C.P. stole everything from Gang of Four

[@AFaceintheCrowd01]

And hated every moment of it.

[@hydra11b__18]

Favorite GO4!!

[@mrphic69]

Waow!La new wave post punk comme j'aime,plein de guitares saturées,un son brut,avant que certains groupes ne soient récupérés et deviennent de la soupe commerciale.

[@pt8208]

RIP Andy Gill.

[@izaakdaviddiggs]

Awesome groove and Dexter Morgan on the drums...

[@haywoodsmith2822]

This is Hugo Burnham the original drummer.

[@JohnJohnson-li6oj]

good

[@HiGlowie]

Can anyone recommend some other songs like this? Post punk with driving basslines

[@elotronic9131]

Killing Joke’s first few albums especially What’s This For

[@ralft]

The Au pairs ,

[@joelmooneyham8857]

Is he angry with those drums?

[@HeartandSoul59]

RIP ANDY :'(

[@misantrophis]

kurtes cabine gostava disto 🤟

[@murgatroid1034]

SARA LEE???

Yup. She joined in '81.

[@conorgloom]

Does anyone know the tab for that bass? I’ve got the gist of it but I think I’m missing some of the filler notes

[@christot2001]

wow thx for this whole show, this is GoF paydirt

[@MarieProvost77]

1956-2020 - why do 'they' keep taking all the wrong ones?

[@discoverydavid]

I loved this as a dark and moody teen, but even more a few years later as 'Cheesy Quaver' (raver) when Westbam sampled it (he was probably in this crowd somewhere): kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4HWdWiFbqesfZI Thank god for xtc!

[@a.e.8874]

Anyone know what guitar is he using?

[@eamonwright7488]

Burns Magpie I believe

[@thesilencers13]

THE LYRICS!!!!!!!!! U R W E L C O M E . This wheel spins let me off It's not the lack of trying Can't put my finger on it You can't help being hard up Can't trust the gods we trusted Don't think that's any insurance Could I be happy with something else I need something to fill my time Could I be happy with someone else I need someone to fill my time This wheel spins letting me off These doubts and nagging worries Nothing to work towards This demon on my back Preaches the razors cut The hope that does not fade Could I be happy with something else I need something to fill my time Could I be happy with someone else I need someone to fill my time This wheel spins let me off It's not the lack of trying Can't put my finger on it You can't help being hard up Can't trust the gods we trusted Don't think that's any insurance Could I be happy with something else I need something to fill my time Could I be happy with someone else I need someone to fill my time Could I be happy with something else I need something to fill my time Could I be happy with someone else I need someone to fill my time What we want's not what we get

[@rederickfroders1978]

Damn
