The Chameleons - In Shreds (Camden Palace 1985)

[@FrontRowPass]

This is a great song! I was lucky enough to see and film them performing here in Los Angeles 🤘

[@khlari67]

I've been looking for this for years. I was actually in the audience that day. It was filmed on a Wednesday afternoon at the Camden Palace, for a programme called 'Live from London'. I bunked off of school to go!

[@soppdrake]

Me too! Though I bunked off work. :)

[@kathyabeauty]

Best ever! Drumming is AWESOME.

[@EzidioAlvesPereira]

Guitarras atmosféricas e um som melancólico,só podia ser uma obra dos anos 80!saudades dessa época!

[@tofu8164]

kk vcs acham isso melancólico? eu acho chamaleons mo onda, de ouvir chapado não triste

[@gel6988]

Ignored by you all, I stumble and fall. I suddenly new, that my life meant nothing at all... Absolutely brilliant! Cheers...

Bought their second album in 1985 or 1986 thanks to seeing their name on some NME indie chart. At the time I lived in Yugoslavia and I had never known anyone who knew them until I moved to Berlin and discovered they have tons of fans here. Got their other records over the years, but still love that second album the most. Thinned the needle of my turntable on it.

[@taliertagreen7264]

Crazy song! The mood is reminiscent of the song Killing Joke-Psyche, in my opinion

[@heleneduquet7824]

INTERPOL and THe Chameleons UK are my favorite band ever.

[@softlightsymphonyband]

Hélène Duquet That’s like saying imitation leather and leather are your favorite things ever

[@GamesWithBrainz]

ngl i found chameleons bc someone compared them to Interpol. The Chameleons are on the top top level for me tho

[@stratts123]

I saw them more times than I can remember, including about 2 days before this was recorded at Manchester Uni. Good times :)

[@giul101]

SON UNOS PUTOS GENIOS CARAJO, ES LA MEJOR BANDA DE LOS 80S...

[@Astrogardens1]

Heard this on Firstwave today and felt myself in the middle of a mosh pit. Its been a few years since I heard it - hell over 30.

[@MrMerlin87]

[@13towerofpower]

IN SHREDS pieseň skupiny THE CHAMELEONS z Middletonu, ktorá bola vydaná na debutovom singli v roku 1983 po uzatvorení zmluvy so spoločnosťou Epic. Záznam z koncertu v Camden Palace v Londýne v roku 1985. Mark Burgess spev a basová gitara, ktorý v máji 2015 dovršil 55 rokov.

[@veropou78]

Les années de fac ....... 25 ans plus tard, ça me plait toujours autant.

[@cruzsandoval4380]

Still in 2016, it sounds like "modern times" :)

[@lonelyshpee7873]

Nah, it very much sounds like mid 80s post-punk. And that's a good thing.

[@HangOnSloopy1000]

Still in 2023, saw them in 1985 and now in 2023 and they play better than ever.

[@MEfraulein]

aaahhhhhhh my youth....amazing :-D

[@9batcave]

wow..... simply great... love them!

[@dennfett]

When I first saw this on VHS back in 85 I just fell in love with this band. A mate did me two crappy tapes not long after. I also really fancied the two goth girls at the front, lovely if a tad moody looking. Fantastic band and Mark is still going strong, saw them in Sheffield not long ago. RIP John.

[@kobelijnen5115]

[@arm2644]

Lyrics: I grasp at lifes fading light I need you tonight I need to be heard Your acts speak lowder than words Ignored by you all I stumble and fall I suddenly knew My life meant nothing at all In shreds I stare down at the street Yearning for sleep That blissful escape But when it comes it's always too late The whore in my bed The noise in my head A hole in my pride It's coming and there's nowhere to hide It seems to me To be so contradictory It seems to me You count your blessings while they're there Ignored by you all I stumble and fall I suddenly knew My life meant nothing at all The whore in my bed The noise in my head A hole in my pride It's coming and there's nowhere to hide It seems to me To be so contradictory It seems to me You count your blessings while they're there You count your blessings while they're there You count your blessings while they're there It seems to me To be so contradictory It seems to me You've become a part of the machinery You've become a part of the machinery Machinery Machinery
