The Saints - (I'm) Stranded (1976)

1977 music-promo-video-clip by Australian band taken from Australian music program 'rage'.
(I'm) Stranded was originally released by The Saints in 1976 (a couple of months before Anarchy In The UK) and was re-released by EMI in 1977. This promo-video was made in conjunction with the 1977 release. This video features comments about the band by Jesus & Mary Chain, Michael Hutchence, Nick Cave, Evan Dando, and a difficult to identify American musician (somebody to do with Alice In Chains?).

[@jp95js]

I had a very luck teenage life. I saw The Saints in their house a few times on a Friday night as a 15 and 16 year old. The house had a lot of tinfoil on the wall in the lounge-room, and they played there most Friday nights. As I was a kid I would stand and watch them or sit out on the back steps near Ivor’s painting room, smoke homegrown dope and listen to them play. Yeah it was a nice teenage life I had.

If you are ever in Brisbane Australia, this song/film clip was recorded in the small wooden house that sits on the corner of upper Roma St and Milton R. It's now a photography studio but it's a piece of music history!

[@bernardvance382]

filmed in two locations.. a rundown row of Petrie terraces and a Fortitude Valley nightclub. The clip after party was the rooftop pool of the Regis hotel. Russell Mulcahy directed. Colin Wardrop DoP. The road trip from Syd-Bris-Syd to make this clip makes Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas look tame.

Vale Chris Bailey When I say that Chris Bailey is one of the most important people in our Australian Music History, that is a massive understatement. Today's news of his passing is like losing a family member. I'm shattered and devastated. Chris came into my life in 1976, when I was supposed to be doing school homework. Listening to Sydney's JJ 1540am radio ( thanks to the Gough Whitlam government ) I heard (I'm ) Stranded by THE SAINTS. IT STILL RANKS AS ONE OF THE BEST SOUNDS I'VE EVER HEARD IN MY 61 YEARS ON THE PLANET. Chris Bailey was extremely intelligent with an acidic wit, not many, if any, could match him. From reports I've heard, Chris was kind, warm, sincere and generous. A beautiful spirit gone way too young. I think he had a great time whilst he was here on Earth. Not many people can do what he did. He was a Punk Pioneer without even trying or even knowing that's what he was doing. Condolences to his family, friends, all his bandmates and his legions of fans and supporters.

The Saints “I’m Stranded” still has the same effect today for a lot of kids. I remember being 14 years old, summer of ‘96. Bored out of my skull, stuck in this horrible summer camp thing my parents made me go to. One of the coaches was this older fella, he was a junior in high school, and I used to skip a lot of the activities and hang out with him in the back of one of concession buildings listening to all this new punk music I’d never heard. Up until then, all I knew were Green Day - who were very mainstream at that time - and the Ramones. “I’m Stranded” was the first tune I heard from him and he made me a little cassette with their album and a bizarre mix of all this early L.A. and Aussie stuff. One other Australian band I can remember from that was a band called Depression, who were very good.

[@AndrewAHayes]

I cant believe how long its been, it seems like it was just a few years ago, I first heard The Saints around 1981, my cousin bought a used car and there was a tape that was stuck in the stereo, my cousin gave it to me to try and fix as I was an electronics nerd, I did get it working without locking up the tapes, the tape was just marked Saints, I didn't have a clue who they were but I liked what I was hearing, whenever I visited the local record store they never had anything by The Saints and then one day I was in Sheffield England at the smallest Virgin Records shop ever and they had a 7" copy of this very song and were able to order in anything you wanted (more or less) and so I ordered Prehistoric sounds, I ended up creating a bit of a mini fan club amongst my friends who also went to Virgin to order The Saints records and before I knew it they were being stocked.

I was aware of English and American punk rock and all that stuff, but I was completely surprised to listen to punk rock that, actually, came up at the same time but went basically unnoticed. This song is a key song in the history of punk. Still kicks ass in 2021 and will kick ass forever.

I haven't heard this for donkeys-ages. For those who are saying this was released before the Sex Pistols, so was the first Stooges' album, Iggy's Raw Power, and the MC5 and the New York Dolls. The Ramones were playing live long before this. Malcolm McLaren went to the US, saw something exciting was happening, managed the New York Dolls very briefly, then came back to the Britain, put together/discovered/whatever The Sex Pistols, and they made debatably the best Punk Rock album ever. That can't be taken away from them. Great to hear this tune again, 'though.

[@letstalk3265]

Mate The Saints and Radio Birdman were playing fast rock from 1973-74. I think that's the same time as the Ramones started. The Sex Pistols were a fad and saying their album was the best punk album ever is moot. Their music enriched the world. Thanks to all who have shared their genius.

I strongly agree, with the caveat (and a cowardice disguised as pragmatism) that it is not what punk has come to be, at least in the minds of those who now consider it from a distance and with the lens of hindsight. A better way to put it is maybe this: Punk rock was not meant to be a fashion, and when it became one and made the decision to follow rather than lead, it was at the expense of what it set out to achieve in the first place.

[@mrbarbelbarbello2332]

Strange how this is 'Stranded' but always makes me feel like I'm piloting some kind of supersonic machine. This surely sits with anything ever. It's like having a turbo device placed in the brain. Great song. It's like an anthem for some thing, fuck knows what, but I'd go along with it.

It's a perfect song because it contains two contrary elements at it's core that somehow don't cancel each out. The lyrics are about loneliness but sung with a propulsive blast and driving guitars that just push you forward in the face of life's cruelty. What a F*cking statement this song makes!!

The music program Rage has been going down here in Australia now since around 1987, the programmers on Saturday night are iconic.

First punk song recorded. Australia's The Saints. Beat the Sex Pistols to it.

Actually, Search and Destroy came out in 1973 and it's every bit as punk as this. New Rose by The Damned came out in '76 also. I'm Stranded is great, though; definitely not the first by any stretch...

New rose came out a month after stranded

There are only a few songs I will play air guitar to, and this is one of them.

I love listening to punk rock bands from this era. They weren't trying to fit a mold or gene. Genuine essence
