[@MarkTitus420]

All these years gone and I still listen to The Charlatans, man I'm old but we grew old together.

[@ThirdRail7]

This is a great song. It was haunting seeing Jon Baker and Rob Collins again. Major talents.

[@bid84]

Rob Collins what a fucking genius,

[@RockoWasTaken]

Ahhh classic Charlies. Awesome, thanks so much for posting. I can actually hear the lyrics in this version!

[@steviel76]

will always treasure this single,absolute class!

[@kenpudsey6435]

Superb track💯

[@eckto3]

i saw them play this live in glasgow 2010, though it would've been great to see Rob in action if he were still here RIP

[@robertdavbis9844]

flop it around, mates. One of those early singles like Tell Me from The Roses where youthful ambition came a tad early before the fully realized art. Still a stonker for sure.

[@prospicere]

Man, I feel 14 again too!!!!! love it!

[@shanekennedy1480]

The charlatans are superb live!!!! 😎👌💞💞💞

[@AlonzoDimitri]

[@kingTethra]

Was it a yellow cassette?, had it, lost it, bugger. It had Lush, Fatima Mansions, Galaxie 500 and the Soup Dragons as well.

[@andymac1873]

brilliant !!!

[@123451310]

the first and the best album of Charlatans

[@alboy4]

It was a single, it wasn't an album track.

[@relphbelly]

Fucking awesome performance, reminds me of being 15 again!

[@duncabbin]

pure class

[@madferret96]

CLASS...

[@cockardo]

I can't get over the Hammond solo on this song... I fucking wish I had the money for a B3...

[@wardy605]

collins R.I.P

[@karyn27]

Really? Wow..yeah that metal head banging looks pretty heavy going..and dangerous..i never heard of anyone dying from it though..but i can see how they could..did that guitarist have a bad stroke or was it a little one?

[@bohsblur]

Rob collins on the hammond and clint boon on the farfisa, TOP THAT. moo!

[@davids456]

saw them at the barras 2010 some friendly tour. you know it.

[@Iberotimuka]

I bought some Indie compilation to get my hands on this song

[@wireinexile]

Wow!

[@Acidmarx]

que tiempos!

[@larryoloai]

In 2005, Terry Balsamo, Evanescence guitarist, incurred a stroke from headbanging.[2] There have also been cases of people incurring whiplash from headbanging such as Craig Jones of Slipknot and it is not uncommon for some to experience headaches and bloody noses as a result of headbanging.

[@Iberotimuka]

@505mlovely it had 19 or 20 songs including The Sundays, Carter, Depeche, The Shamen, The Sugarcubes, etc

[@buzzboy67]

Birmingham 1990, I was dragged along to see them and then was gob-smacked cause the bloke from Makin' Time was in the band lol

[@daviehope4890]

Mint

[@505mlovely]

@Iberotimuka ...What compilation? I've been looking for this....

[@breezy4852]

@bluemoonrising26 but one band that us american have that the britain can't touch is the black keys.

[@ABTE67]

fathers of oasis and blur

[@juani0villanos]

wow They were young ! haha

[@craigwithington]

Where is the past? I thought that pretty much everything was up on KZbin. Where are the substandard variant 'Charlatans' that sounded like a poor version of the Icicle Works (themselves a poor version of Echo and the Bunnymen)? Where are the recordings of the Electric Crayons?

[@modsheff1]

cool cool chicago|!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mickburnley]

i remember buying this on 12" from my local market for about £2, anyone know wot its worth now?

[@clemgaming8982]

en fait, la musique est la même que Weirdo avec un rythme plus chaloupé ?

[@lifeisshort6406]

+Clém Gaming dis donc chaloupé c'est l'adjectif parfait pour toutes ces batteries 90's bravo

[@josssmith]

Oasis were never part of the Madchester scene, they were part the later Britpop scene in the mid 90s.

[@freudastaire]

groovey madchester

[@mycatsdead]

miss spent youth. who am i

[@thebattleroyale]

I am not english but... could the title "Indian Rope" be a reference to weed?

[@NOC4SFV]

haha ye can interepret that in 2 ways, lol

[@AdrianGarcia57]

Madchester was the best, Best bands in my honest opinion: 1. Stone Roses 2. The Charlatans 3. Inspiral Carpets 4. Happy Mondays 5. Oasis

[@benchambers9775]

Adrian Garcia oasis weren't madchester at all

[@c.s.4428]

buzzcocks joy division the smiths

[@shareschannel]

can someone tell me why its called indian rope?

[@Natty4000]

I think it was in tribute to the track "Indian Rope Man" by Julie Driscoll and Brian Auger & The Trinity. Might be wrong like.

[@robertglover3911]

Natty4000 You are spot on!

[@sophiephoebe7165]

+share81 If I remember correctly it was originally called some friendly but they opted out of a title song on the album in the end. songmeanings.com/songs/view/72406/#addcomment

[@Floyd1138]

+Sophie Phoebe I remember playing this on cd single. ... my memory says it wasn't on 'some friendly. I'm probably wrong tho ☺

[@Natty4000]

It's not on Some Friendly.

[@Kenubinin1]

Charlatans >>>>>>>>>>> Oasis

[@begirama000]

(◎▲◎;)　イギリスの音楽には、高度な知能が、必要なようです。

[@VCK9009]

Not as amazing as the Roses or Mondays but still a very good band!

[@ChubbyChecker182]

Bob Marley

[@thefonz43]

Which cretin disliked this?

[@heartslad80s]

Tim get back to your style ... Never mind they horrors kids !! Music is dead !! long live the 80s + early 90s

[@karyn27]

Im surprised he didnt end up with a subdural haematoma after all that head shaking.

[@sharpo88]

what the fuck happened to rock n roll? todays bands are utter shite by comparison. its a joke, we need a revolution!

[@Rob.S-]

Ian Brown ripoff.
