STEREOPHONICS LOCAL BOY IN THE PHOTOGRAPH (LIVE) TFI FRIDAY 1997

[@matthewjdouglas6471]

What a time to be 17 years old. The 90s were great. There were times when it wasn't so great. We had fantastic rock'n'roll

[@kingrubbatiti1285]

A year younger than you,but agree completely. Seemed every other week a new band would appear with a belter of a song,usually I'd spot them first on TFI. Had the misfortune of hearing radio 1 at work recently and how we went from a decade like the 90s,to the utter garbage around now.

[@matthewjdouglas6471]

@@kingrubbatiti1285 yeah it's sad how the music industry has actually alienated fans from there stations. The radio used to rock back in the day

[@amyjeffs3269]

Songs telling stories of the highest order. For such a young man at the time,what a sensational.powerful vocal performance from kelly jones. What a decade it was,with such unbelievable talent ,literally everywhere. And yet at the time,we just didnt know how special it was.

[@MN-kp2lm]

Because it was normal back then. Only now it seems so rare!

[@jolewis9018]

I remember this SO WELL. I remember exactly where I was and who I was with. First time I'd ever heard or heard of them. Love at first sight/sound...

[@mikfoz1]

best band on earth used to love tfi great laugh before I went out on Friday night should come back with chris evans ..my favourite song by the phonics class...

[@Trebz50]

I'm about to swear. I apologise. Fuck me, that was amazing. Much better than when I watched on that Friday night having a beer at home in 1997. I never saw the raw energy back then. I have now been re educated.

[@StereoPreacher7]

Never seen this before, brilliant!

[@morm0njesus]

Underrated band. Kelly's voice is just so powerful

[@racingspoon]

Best sounding three piece since The Jam.

[@stealthy7]

Supergrass tbh, but I love phonics'...and almost all 3 pieces. Dont forget Manics also

[@racingspoon]

@@stealthy7 few years back walked into my local Spar and Stuart Cable was in the queue clutching a bag of McCain oven chips. I did a double look of recognition and he sort of nodded back. I looked at his chips and he looked down at them looked back up and said “rock and roll eh bud” whilst giving me a cheeky wink. Sadly it was about 4 months or so after that he died. Not a huge fan of the later phonics or Supergrass but I definitely think Caught By The Fuzz is the best 2 minute and 18 second pop song ever…absolute perfection.

[@stealthy7]

​@@racingspoon Haha Nice ! Stuart worked and played hard....gutted when I heard the news that he`d died. A local lad through and through, as they all were. Supergrass were great, Gaz Coombs solo stuff is pretty good also - for me though having seen them live in a small venue, the Manics are unbelievably good - cheers :)

[@rian202003]

Fucking amazing

[@Falwne]

His way of singing into the mic reminds me of Liam Gallagher....

[@mkjones7603]

Only Kelly does it better 😜

[@TS-pt9pz]

Phonics at there absolute best

[@Sleepflowrr]

And all the friends lay down the flowers sit on the banks and drink for hours, talk of the way they saw him last, local boy in the photograaaaaaph todaaay.

[@dariangenesis4558]

I guess I'm kinda off topic but do anybody know a good site to watch new movies online ?

[@portermagnus9154]

@Darian Genesis I watch on flixzone. Just search on google for it =)

@Porter Magnus Yup, been using instaflixxer for months myself :)

[@ChrisDN]

This was the difference between TFI and TOTP... I rewatched Just Looking before this, sure it's a more tame song for the most part, but just feel the energy of this because it's actually fucking live!

[@Sleepflowrr]

There is no mistaaaakes, i smell that smeeeell, is that time of year agaaaain? I can taaaaaste the aaaaaaair

[@neilcutler8064]

Stuart gone but never forgotten 😢

[@benzakonium]

I was at Uni in Newport when these guys broke - they were absolute heroes. Kelly's heroes if you will! The drummer came to a party at our house one day and he was absolutely wrecked and fell through the banisters. We actually had to kick him out. I can see why the band struggled with his behaviour.

[@josealbertofreitas4862]

Top band!

[@dalek66]

Nice version.

I wanna be that mic

[@mattj929]

I have witnessed this c

[@Jamesfoofighter]

Back before the sold out. Always sounded better as a three piece.

[@cgavin1]

Always loved this. Its obviously a suicide but deeper its the death of your own optimism/youth.

[@lucasgomes4169]

I think he copied Liam Gallagher's vocal style heuhue

[@cjstroked]

Yes but much more powerful
