I dont care what anybody says, playing the bass and singing is one of the most difficult tasks a musician can do.

[@RoderickFernandez-ps5ci]

It's great that you don't care what anyone says or thinks

[@thatbeaver2960]

No way my dad did that

[@culturalresilience6763]

Having done that I completely agree. Playing guitar and singing lead vox is relatively easy by comparison.

[@gbhxu]

I always thought that the most difficult task was for the drummer to keep time

[@RoderickFernandez-ps5ci]

I believe you sent this to the wrong person I didn't say anything about what you're talking about I

[@Gypsy_Soul7]

His voice…after all these years, is still 🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼✨

[@BAKER22-l4u]

Lol..Ugh NO

[@HRHooChicken]

It's not great lol. he's old now, the voice is strained and wobbly. Like Paul McCartney

[@StaRiteA3]

God bless you Trevor Horn. You made the 80s so much fun!

[@vandeIa]

He’s still got it! what an incredible man and singer, Video Killed the Radio Star will never die! ❤

[@AudioJanitor]

This is why KZbin is utterly amazing. Your childhood musical hero's bringing you great memories of all those huge hits!

[@martinspeer262]

It's when music was still GREAT 👍

[@alexdiogenes4768]

This song is STILL ahead of its time.

[@nilsonrocha5426]

Genius!

[@BAKER22-l4u]

Lol..ugh no

[@David-uq6yb]

Amazing… I remember listening to this song as a 12 year old in 1979, and after 40 years Trevor’s voice just hasn’t changed!

[@ocker2000]

Trevor Horn is a perfectionist. This is a great rendition of this timeless song. Thank you for sharing!

[@YuProducciones]

his VOICE right?! he takes cares so much of little details!!!!**

[@alexo1226]

This man is a genius!! Producer, songwriter Trevor is just pure music artist .💥🙌🏼💥

[@NevadaDesertSkies]

A little bit of Buggles trivia, if you watch the original 1981 video, there's a guy playing the keyboard near the end that is wearing a black jacket that is unzipped almost all the way. He's standing in front of a wall full of electronics. That guy, that guy is Hans Zimmer. THE Hans Zimmer.

[@domingosrodriguespereira2857]

1980 I was 17 years old.......and loved a girl ....this music remember my love😔💓 Brazil🇧🇷

[@domingosrodriguespereira2857]

Her name is Solange

[@gabrielledormuth4634]

Age is just a number and Trevor Horn just proved that to all the fans in attendance

[@nilsrp]

Brilliant. I am the biggest Trevor fan in the universe. In my opinion you are the greatest producer of all time. I became a live-sound engineer back in 1985 and I have always loved your sound ever since I heard Frankie Goes to Hollywood.

[@markcheetah4960]

Does he usually play with a pick? I believe he doesn't use one in the original MTV video. Thanks

[@w9gb]

I consider his 2004 performance at the Prince’s Trust to be his Best with original members.

[@samanthastephens1907]

He's brilliant!!!

[@BAKER22-l4u]

Greatest producer of all time? Lol..He and his group had ONE hit song..ONE

[@lucy-me-lucy]

@@BAKER22-l4u Oh you probably don't know who's Trevor Horn haha /Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Seal, Yes etc., google it 😉

[@CactusJackSlade]

HIs voice at 70 years old is better than my voice every was! Awesome 🙂

[@SkookMan24]

He still sound like he did when that song came out. Incredible. He is THE radio star

[@ericgrant12]

He sounds incredible. Great tone.

[@user-vi6lg8wr1s]

この曲大好き❤😊

[@cooler066]

Watch and learn kids......no lipsync, Live, no auto tune, musicians who play their instruments.

[@user-nm9bv6qu1t]

I was only 9 or 10 when t😢his came out I still remember as if it was yesterday, he still kicks assssssd🎉🎉🎉

[@grahaigh]

it's the singing an bassing at the same time that gets me the most. It's not like it's an easy song.

[@s-code-b]

This song (orig. mv) is like a gene oblivious to its widespread phenotypic expressions long, long after it came to life.

[@unrhu]

I love the fact a whole new generation is enjoying and loving the genius and pure brilliance of Video Killed the Radio Star!

[@philweinfurter4245]

This band should be in the rock and roll hall of fame...they started Mtv...for an entire generation.

[@ozmond]

I’d argue Michael Jackson really started MTV in what they became

[@philweinfurter4245]

@@ozmond Buggles were the first video...Pat Benatar was second...

[@Mr._Mints]

I don’t think The Buggles as a band have earned R&R HOF status. But there is a relatively new recognition for influential singles. I believe Whiter Shade Of Pale was the first song to be recognized. Video Killed The Radio Star would definitely quality for that recognition, I’d say.

[@anakina1]

As a monumental first song I can see that, like a ball players glove or an artifact from a player who is not in the hall. But as a band I don't think so.

[@williambrown8071]

Trevor Horn basically made the 80s! Love his genius!

[@BAKER22-l4u]

Made the 80's? LMAO..He had ONE popular song..ONE

[@annieis300]

Good times!!! ❤❤❤

[@RamonVaqueroImage]

Big, big fan of Trevor Horn's work. Your sense of musicality and sound perfection is still unmatched.

[@xydoit2024]

Still ironic i was a child when video killed the radio star now listen from my smartphone and watch the moving pictures that killed the tv and motion pictures.

[@mikemotta9754]

I absolutely love this song. I was 17 when I saw the video on MTV in 1981. This song always brings me back every time I hear it. Such a great song.

[@lianebarrett1622]

@mikemotta I was 10 years old when I saw the video on mtv got hooked on it ever since

[@tedansley]

I was also 17 that year, this was such a great innovative pop song at the time! I love it

[@hoopster1888]

Still going strong ! What a brilliant version

[@BAKER22-l4u]

Brilliant version? Did u listen? It's a terrible version

[@johnflores1723]

I used to roller skate to this - over 40 years ago.

[@DJ-ui2cn]

Takes me back to my childhood days in the early 80's!! Nostalgia at it's best!

[@BlueberryStinkFinger62]

Trevor horn was fantastic with YES in 1980

[@TaufikSandiman-ye8vd]

The song still relate until this day, and im too young for nostalgic, thanks for best day on 1980s

[@k.s.421]

Danke, Trevor Horn für die tolle Musik. Ich bin in den 80ern in der DDR aufgewachsen und wir haben immer SFB und Rias Berlin gehört :-)) Da kam dieser tolle Song ganz oft....❤

[@musicbusinesscalculators]

So fan of your work dear Sir Trevor Horn. Endless respect and gratitude to you for your legendary achievements.

[@BAKER22-l4u]

Achievements? He had ONE HIT song...ONE

[@james23p]

@@BAKER22-l4u He was more influential as a producer. He had several huge hits as a producer and he was the front man for Yes for a short time. Add he is considered a pioneer with the bass guitar. His rendition of Two Tribes is amazing and yes he produced it as well.

[@patriceassemat]

The song... the song... the song which is always in my ear and brain, from morning to night... How can I spend a day without it ^^ ? Love it so much... Tks Trevor, tks so much !!!

Excellent!! I remember this when it first came on MTV. Trevor sounds better than ever,

[@notmyrealname8006]

This song just keeps getting better, when it came out it was great, years later it was greater, and now it's just bloody fantastic. This is one of those songs that you never get tired of. Even the band members and Trevor himself, they have just gotten cooler with age.

[@TheKiriru]

This song is my instant love. I remember when I first heard it on the TV I was speechless. I mean, totally in love from the very first few tones. A perfect music we are given.

[@RoderickFernandez-ps5ci]

Never heard of this man have heard of the song he is wonderful

[@travellingwithjeff]

WOW, great job, still banging away, love it......

[@mlyten67]

Including this great song, when I revisit your catalog of songs and productions, I find much of the most favourite music of my youth. Thank you so much Trevor, for all you’ve given us.

[@BAKER22-l4u]

Catalog? What? He had ONE popular song..ONE

[@mlyten67]

You might go and look into what Trevor has been involved with, remembering I commented on both songs and productions. Artists like Seal, Frankie goes to Hollywood, Grace Jones, ABC and Yes, to mention a few. He’s won several Brit awards and a Grammy for music production. Much of Trevor’s production work involved ground up song restructuring and instrumentation. His musical fingerprints are clearly evident in the stuff he produces.

[@davidclarke7728]

What a performance, an absolute classic

[@phillipoos]

Fabulous song - thank you !

[@bdog4u2]

Remember jamming this on the record player. Wore out the needle

[@cayenneman08]

I can listen to this song everyday! ❤

[@almartinez13]

I like taht addedt verse! Kyng stuff!

[@MrGordonGartrelle]

Horn created some of the most important music of my lifetime and showed me, as listener, how someone's tenacious reach for perfection is almost too good to be true for a listener. The ABC "Lexicon of Love" album is my example -- there are few things in the 80s more jewel-like and perfect than the outro of "All of My Heart." I was 15 and just stunned by music for the first time. Very hard to replicate that experience. And the guy can PLAY. Thanks from the USA, Mr. Horn.

[@martincaz7772]

Wow, my teenage years came back to me, such a beautiful awesome song, and seeing this performance gives it a whole new sense, the additional parts are so tastefully written! Love it! thank you

[@BAKER22-l4u]

Tastefully written? What? It sounds terrible

A true testimony to Trevor Horn’s greatness that this live performance still sounds as fresh and, if anything, even more relevant than it did when he wrote it over forty years ago. And such a simple, effective arrangement. Only possible because every note in there, sung or played, counts.

[@BAKER22-l4u]

Lol..What? He sounds terrible
