Sunnyboys - You Need A Friend - 1982 (Official Video)

[@freebird3348]

Born 1965. Home town Melbourne. Bloody hell talk about memories. And such a beautiful clean sound, just enough and no more. Jeremy! Hang in there mate!

[@rick_fortune]

One of the first bands I ever saw live. Divinyls, Little Heroes, Sunnyboys, Mondo Rock and Split Enz. 3XY Under 18's concert at Festival Hll. Still remember it 40 years later.

[@ElAsh-pc7fr]

Hell yeah good times..Noosa Aussie Hops..all the bands

[@tabbykat9]

So cool!! 😊 I was born 40 years ago and I wish I was old enough to see half these bands!

[@thetinysideoftiny7625]

WOW am I late to this party. American guy here...first time I've ever heard these guys...stumbled across this video. This band is absolutely incredible. I'm blown away. My next KZbin search item: best of the Sunnyboys. They remind me of a less brooding version of the Smithereens. Again, absolutely incredible!

[@venderstrat]

Welcome Thomas.

Your late!! American Guy here too from LA been into these guys since 06 welcome!

[@alistairogilvy7696]

Glad ur here. This defined melb n Syd early 80's :)

[@alistairogilvy7696]

Love the footage of all the sharps. Takes me right back to the Golden Bowl days :)

[@ARyan-nf5my]

Most of these lads recordings are some of the cleanest I’ve heard. No nonsense

[@MrJohndhanley]

I was so lucky growing up on the Gold Coast in Queensland, going to the kingscliffe pub Sunday arvo sessions in 1980’s, with about 50 other people there, watching this great Aussie pub rock band from kingscliffe to ourselves, great memories

[@lilyloveslife2737]

that's me at the 2:48 with my sharpie haircut and my skinhead friend in Melbourne city square in 1980 or 81! Fun times!

[@phildoyle8263]

Isn’t that St Andrew’s in George St?

[@mihalidellaportas892]

This brings back so many memories of my youth at the age of 14 in 1982.

[@atl1981]

I agree. I was 15..now just reminiscing what we had ..so carefree

[@kirksmith4026]

Amazing music as a confused teenager

[@mugisaiko4531]

omg I love their music. from japan

[@bilborobb2294]

Seen these guys when we were on holidays heading upto Yeppon at Kingscliff pub around 1983 I think. Best pub band other than INXS in my humble opinion.

[@kelbell275]

Its funny to think that this band would never cut it on X Factor or Idol today. Thank god we had bands like this!!

[@richardfinlayson1524]

i rekon they would blow the roof off the place

[@freeagent8225]

Saw them at Cramer's in Preston, seems like yesterday. Great band. Still playing them and I still need a friend. Lol.

[@bopgirl1981]

Amazing song, amazing band! They don’t make music like this anymore, so much better than the crap that comes out these days! One of the best Aussie bands ever! And this clip is awesome like going back in a time machine, life seemed so much better back then.☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️

[@FionaRyanTIFFINbitesized]

Fantastic photos at the end of four young men having a great time together. 🥰

[@misterdavid5400]

The waves at Kingscliiff were always good, as was the music. Thanks to Jeremy and Peter..

[@gargoyle426]

I've always remembered seeing them with Kids in the kitchen not long after we moved to Melbourne, just discovered it was actually as part of the Synchronicity tour featuring the Police. I remember this concert more for the Australian groups than for the Police. Set my love of Aussie music that day.

[@sillyoldbastard3280]

Remember when this song was first released and on a family holiday as kid up in Coolangatta with my best mate from school. Fond memories. Years later I was dating a girl whose sister was involved with one of the band members. Legendary aussie band from the 80s

[@vince9kub]

Absolutely love their music.plain and simple.Thanks all of you Sunnyboys.

[@Stllno]

If the Sunnyboys were playing at the (now gone) Manly Vale hotel… I was there! Great pub band along with the Sports, Australian Crawl, INXS, Dragon, Midnight Oil, Cold Chisel, etc. etc. etc. Thems were the days 😎😉🇦🇺👏

[@Wayneogston]

Im in this clip. 1:11 in. Walking through city square in Melbourne with my mate and his girl. Great days!

[@janemacintyre9801]

I thought it looked like Melbs

[@Wayneogston]

Gezza1967 Gezza stop stalking me. Lol

[@marioolave6334]

Your comment makes me happy! sheers bro!

[@mebeasensei]

Live in Japan these days and miss Melbourne. However so many bits of that Melbourne I liked are now gone. My mum saw this on the telly one afternoon and said the guy wasnt really singing, just talking!

[@barkingmouse8152]

Back then....it was anthem.

[@aml3668]

A classic, describing the suffering and alienation schizophrenia brings, Jeremy Oxley's greatest composition?

[@michaeldaly8597]

The definative sound of oz

[@thetinysideoftiny7625]

4 years later and I still can't get enough of these guys!! Knocks me on my @ss every time I hit play. Sunnyboys keep comin' at ya with absolute FIRE.

[@theread59]

They just played their last ever gig a couple of weeks ago in Sydney. They were absolutely great live.

[@empireofpeaches]

Woke up today with this song in my head. So good. Time to blast it out to the kids ☉

[@sevensolaris]

I wish I would've discovered this song in the 80s like all you Aussies did. Oh well...better late than never.

[@bigtrevswatersportstweed3559]

Rocks

[@nathanscott27]

My brother took me to see their last gig at Cronulla Workers last live gig so to speak before it was closed down and gutted. Awesome night. Monumental!

[@GiorgosDimitriadisArtist]

Excellent song!!!

[@venderstrat]

The drumming in this is awesome.

[@jamesfaughlin974]

this original version is killer....the remastered album hasn't got the fade out and back in and has corny keyboards!....this original version is 'thin 'production wise....but beautiful and golden!

[@brendencampbell8666]

You have a good ear James...I couldn't have said it better myself

[@philipstallwood9813]

Great song from a top band.

[@cathycastleton]

This is the connection, an amazing song

[@HandyAndyTechTips]

What an awesome track.

[@andyhero6128]

Kings of friends tweed coast 👍🏻👍🏻

[@Hungry_Hunter]

Always a great song and Bill Billsons drums are excellent in this song as per usual.

[@RakuRadio]

I can't say I miss much from that time, but I still love the music and I do miss how the city looked back then.

[@AcePanno1]

I was 22 in 1982 - I see all the young ones in this clip and wonder what happened to everyone, did they turn out old and grumpy like me?

[@frednurk1624]

Yep fuckenb hope so I'm a '63 model

[@LENNON6OCAT]

I was 22 as well , and I'm old and grumpy but at least I have a sh*tload of music from my youth that takes the edge off.

[@alistairogilvy7696]

Vintage '67, and yes for the most part ;)

[@iankearns774]

I was 17 and at 56 I am grumpy as fuck.

[@carlzadro625]

Great song, quintessentially Australian.

[@purebloodheretic4682]

Great Band -Great Song - & 🎸A Hell of Guitar Solo👍😎 -Cheers👍😀🍺🍻🍺. 🙌☀👥☀👥☀👥☀👥☀

[@steghuman9063]

Brilliant song and lyrics, where he forced the voices inside his head to do his bidding "write great songs". Schizophrenic genius. You simply do not get this level of creativity with minds that are considered "normal".

[@thetiredscot7821]

It’s weird that I heard this from a Thomas and friends ytp. But it introduces me to this awesome. Ah the Nostalgia.

[@mutualbeard]

Still a great sound.

[@andyhero6128]

A friend 🤙🏻👊🏻

[@loudmatty2461]

Great Band Great Days !!!

[@drewjp47]

[@AlanCreed]

Makes my eyeballs sweat.

[@alistairogilvy7696]

On the train? Think I knew him :)

[@roundhead114]

I saw you in adelaide 1980's

[@janisg.2896]

Saw them open for Split Enz at the Sydney Entertainment Centre 1984. They could have headlined.

[@mikecole5066]

These guys and Enz would have been some concert.

[@THEQueeferSutherland]

I was just questioning the flying V guitar which seems strange for this type of band, then cuts to a Rickenbacker and I felt at ease again.

[@lastzombiehunter]

@5.02 Everyone looks like wow! I can't believe you pulled that from your prison pocket.

[@cathycastleton]

The sky scape is newy old time the Hosp ?

[@stevensegal1654]

back when Jim Beam was $9.95 a bottle and long necks were 18 to the dozen.

[@fighm]

A few bruisers in this clip

[@cathycastleton]

Was that the old Newcastle Hosp 3:20 and other spots ?

[@Lilione111]

Watching a documentary on Sunny Boys & how the lead singer has struggled with schizophrenia. Quite sad really.

[@barryrahn5957]

Was that house anywhere near Bondi?

[@roundhead114]

We all believed in you fuck the rest talent is sometimes overlooked by the boring & mundane

[@mrwolf001]

What is a young Billy Joel doing in this clip? 2:05

[@thefantasyreview8709]

Great Australian band, but never made it really big, even in Australia.
