finest band in america, and the nicest guys you could ever hope to meet. the smithereens are a gift, and after 30 years, they are still relevant and on top of their game.

[@lockdown70]

This is one of my fav songs, and as a world traveler, it always starts a new journey for me. The Smithereens are such a vastly underrated band. Love all their stuff.

[@JosephCaravellaJr]

Rest In Peace Pat DiNizio another brilliant musician lost sad sad sad too young to be gone already

[@pamwelch7228]

I love The Smithereens they don’t have a song that I don’t love💕

[@scotthamilton8269]

R.I.P. Pat .. Ameco.. Pisano !

[@petejohnston5375]

Just some Jersey Boyz who played good old fashioned American Rock&Rock! I'm proud to be a Jersey Boy myself....

[@Pamela_In_Chains]

I love me some Smithereens 💕

jimmys guitar is cooking dennis is rocking and pat is the captain of the ship this song rocks love it

[@fortunetechinc]

Saw them perform with bjork and the sugar cubes in the 80’s. Weird combination of bands but they brought it. Sound just as great live as their recordings.

[@dougsmith7083]

It's a shame that the Smithereens lower charting albums did not have the same success as prior releases did. Once all the record companies ate up each other and then were taken over by humongous corporations that were more interested in making weapons than a stunning guitar solo with a perfect bridge and singalong choruses... It's a shame because so many people who would have LOVED this tune have...probably NEVER even heard it! RIP - Pat

[@JoaoJPSingerSongwriter83933]

such a great song this should of been a big hit but a lot of older bands were finished when grunge came along.I agree Pat was a great singer and songwriter it is a huge loss 60 was still to young.I love his music even more today than years ago !

[@photonotavailable7936]

Even more today. Exactly.

[@neilquinter7884]

@kidcharlemagne76 They still tour, with rotating guest lead singers, usually either Marshall Crenshaw or Robin Wilson, the lead singer of the Gin Blossoms. I've chatted with them a few times, particularly Jim Babjak, their always- lead guitarist, and yes, they are nice guys.

[@jameskerr7439]

Great band. My old band played these guys songs. Went over well. Pat DiNizio will be sorely missed. They played on the beach in Galveston years ago, at their prime.

[@scottpatterson8716]

Saw them at the House of Blues in Chicago in the late 1990s. Stood about 15 feet way from the stage and speaker towers. Had no hearing for the next three days, but it was one of the better concerts I had seen in a long time.

[@matthewclark9652]

The CD "A Date With The Smithereens" was on RCA Records NOT Capitol. That group & the alternative group LIVE were my favorites!!

[@williamgoldrick2341]

love this track lethal guitar great drums it needs to have airplay on the radio every day miss you cats

[@kevinnobody3052]

I don't remember how or when I first heard these guys, it was a long time ago but I have been a fan right from the start. First song I heard them do was Blood and Roses and I was hooked. Great band.

[@bwill578]

Found this song in a compilation CD I bought years ago and been hooked since

[@pamelawelch3443]

Love it!

[@djdaniels3827]

when we re-launch Biker Music Radio, y'all need to do a call in

[@jmdelan99]

badasses

[@LarryHairelson]

Thanks guys for coming to Suwanee, GA recently - it was great!!!

[@PilgrimPiper]

Great band. I enjoy the spirit Dennis Diken plays with.

[@Pamela_In_Chains]

I love this song 💕

[@Gawdhammer]

I'll be seeing them on Nov 13th in York PA. I've been a fan since '88. Awesome band!

[@00Klingon]

“Do something” “Just Do It” etc. All psychological siren songs / slogans that speaks to half the population at least. Such messaging seemed to hit a peak during the 90’s which were more sensory focused. Todays world is more intuitive focused, where people are asked to reject reality and make up their own.

[@lixie1]

Oh god I love these guys!

[@DP-hy4vh]

In 2024, this song will be 30 years old.

[@19angelman61]

I Have got to see these guys in concert.

[@georgeschlaline6057]

The original band who did a Million miles away

[@duffbaker9554]

The Plimsouls' song, 'A Million Miles Away'?

[@spensert4933]

He croons!

[@g34a4d]

É estranho, esta música tem apenas 4 minutos mas a ouvía ao fundo enquanto lia algumas notícias no site G1 e me deparei com um vídeo recém divulgado de um terrivel acidente acontecido em Julho em uma estrada no Paraná: g1.globo.com/pr/parana/noticia/2016/08/novo-video-mostra-rastro-de-destruicao-apos-acidente-na-br-277.html O caso é que repetia a cena do vídeo diversas vezes para ver detalhes do acidente enquanto isso tive a nítida e estranha sensação que a música parecia se estender além do tempo normal, quase o dobro de duração como se estivesse em um loop que só parou após me aperceber disso com o clipe terminando normalmente. Miles from nowhere pode ser traduzido como "a milhas de lugar nenhum" e essa coincidência é meio perturbadora.

[@tombeckner404]

has anybody got a copy of the smithereens live at the ritz from mtv back in 86? my tape got destroyed
