The Lords Of The New Church, "Russian Roulette"

Live in London at The Marquee, January 1984.

[@photoshoott2022]

Amazing song, first time we heard it, heard about this group, we were hooked. The 80s produced some of the most amazing music and this was one of them. Played it a few years ago for my daughter and she loved it, which shows that great music is timeless and ageless.

[@libethbonacoscia629]

Still love them...even if Im now 61yo. Saw them live just once, a night to remember 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

MISSING 1000 YEARS - Indeed

[@cathsalazar9930]

Damn u is so f in lucky lasting me Memories forever I’m jealous!!!👍❤️🔥☮️

[@sibeex]

@cath salazar - have you seen the documentary film STIV? I saw it on Netflix, was great. Some good footage of Stiv car surfing! Also, do you remember when they released Like A Virgin? It was the encore when I saw them at The Marquee and Stiv was in a white wedding dress with white pantyhose AND NO UNDIES!!

[@cathsalazar9930]

Si Beex damn will check out Netflix on Stiv no undies damn bet that was hot what a turn on especially when it’s Stiv!!!!! Meow!!!!!❤️👍🔥😻☮️🦊😹

[@sibeex]

@cath salazar I’m with you about music from that era. I followed Hanoi Rocks around and Lords Of The New Church hung out with those guys so I got into them too. Stiv was brilliant live but very unpredictable but that’s what made him special. The whole of the band were brilliant, never dropped a note. Was really a serious glam boy in those daze, still am!! Hoping to have an album out by the end of the year, I’ll keep you posted!

[@rickyhiemstra9993]

I didn't hear this band until the 200's.I liked the bands that these guys came from. The LORDS I REALLY LIKE. R.I.P. SIV YOU WERE AGOOD FRONT MAN! Rock ON.J. THUNDERS, DE DE & REST OF THE HEARTBREAKERS💔🗽🖤🖤🎸🎸

[@gregd777]

saw these guys in 1987 at the Ritz just outside Detroit - one of the best concerts I ever went to.

[@austinthomas9068]

The Ritz in Roseville, I was there. 👍🏻

[@chocolategatto8616]

One of the most overlooked bands I've come across. Discovered them through being a 'Dead Boys' and 'Damned' fan. They've got some great lyrical content, its catchy and just about works between punk / new wave / and goth. Rocks hard

[@philshine3388]

I was at this gig. Filmed live for a tv show called ‘live from London ‘ I remember they did a warm up track first and Stiv said to the crowd “ok when we come back on, go fucking crazy like we’re the Clash or something”. The whole set we couldn’t hear the vocals and the crowd got pissed off and started yelling at the desk to fix it. The couldn’t give a shit, they just wanted to get things right for the broadcast. Shame. Great gig anyway. Brian James is a legend. Imagine creating the Damned and then being in the Lords?

[@libethbonacoscia629]

Great group....miss them sooooo much !!!!!!!!

[@janemills1477]

Love Stiv - So much Missed 💔💔

[@RockismyAir]

Michael Monroe still has this in his show-starter-song-list. I think it tells you something about how FUCKIN GREAT this song actually is

I have just realised, I saw them twice in Marseille. Great true band... Still RIP Stiv...

[@Nibb9]

One of the best 1st albums ever ! Huge !

[@sonia8080]

Beautiful music! I miss the 80s!

[@MyDenmon]

Shooté ?, ça je sais pas trop, d'ailleurs on s'en fout, mais qu'est ce que ça fait plaisir d'entendre nos années passées...........Thank you for this upload !

[@ice_fox]

If you can find it, I HIGHLY recommend Cheetah Chrome's autobiography. So many fun Stiv stories, and so much depth. It really makes you know the guys from the beginning to end.

[@zombiegirl71]

Cool, I remember them from 80s on mtv. Haven't seen or heard em since then. Now I must have more...

[@christopherebeyrol4553]

Damn! I've seen them in Northampton in july / august 85, at the Cinderella's ! Quite special atmosphere at that time. I was discovering England at 21. Bringing me a loooong time back.

[@TheRUHOORUHOO]

Saw them in NYC around this time. Great show. Great energy.

[@yormother]

oooo that tempo i love this version

[@edgaralvarado4625]

I used 2 wear LOTNC patches on my jacket back in da day! I wux only 10yrs old I thought dey wear da coolest cats in town! Their musick jux nostalgic tho I want da 80's back! by popular demand!

How blessed are we to get to watch this, just, at a whim?

[@nothx962]

That's what I'm saying! These types of bands and scenes don't exist nearly as much anymore...but atleast we have a place to enjoy them in their heyday before the internet put out mass produced, easily created music for the easily impressed.

[@katerasanen1501]

Excellent

[@dwightfartschrute]

KISS Alive eat your heart out! Stiv had to rerecord every second of his vocals, and most of his between song banter, from this show for the video release. I was disappointed when I first heard that, but now I'm glad we have a really good live document to remember them by.

I never understood when people were so upset when John Lennon, Keith Moon or any other Rock Star passed, until Stiv Died. Then I got it. I still get a tear when I think about it.

The Russian Roulette scene was in Deer Hunter, tho, not Apocalypse Now

[@WilliamFiler]

Saw Stiv try hang himself in Sac, through the mic cord up into the wood lattice above the stage and rung his own neck...we really though he was dead, just stood there and watched.

[@chocolategatto8616]

Shit he was pronounced dead for a little bit right?

Stiv Bators un grande que salio de su puebio y con siguio la fama yencima a traves de un camido complicado. con los Dead Boys bueno, medio medio, pero con los Lords of the new church consiguio exito y fama, que a los americanos es lo que mas les gusta, es mas tengo entendido que cuando falecio estaba en tratos con Dee Dee Ramone y algun otro crack, para hacer algo bueno juntos, siempre respeto a esta gente que es mi gente

Brian James the fucking man!!!

[@glennoc8585]

He looked completely out of it here. They had an interesting sound.

[@dwightfartschrute]

This would be awesome if all of Stiv's vocals weren't overbuds and there wasn't the sound of 10,000 roaring fans between songs.

[@danielscissorhands]

dwightfartschrute I don't think those are overdubs.

[@dwightfartschrute]

Yes, they are.

[@danielscissorhands]

dwightfartschrute Are you thinking of the live album, "Night of the LIving Dead Boys," because they overdubbed the vocals for that because Stiv purposely didn't sing into the mic because he was upset that the record company was forcing them to record that album. You may be right about this performance being dubbed. But how do you know for sure? It looks like it probably is overdubbed because of how messed up he is when he's talking vs how well he sings.. But where did you read that it is overdubbed? Just wondering.

[@missfrosting]

You don't need to have read that it's overdubbed, it's just obvious because the movement of his lips doesn't match the sound you can hear! He's not even near the mic at around 3.30 but the voice carries on. He looks terrible, and I understand why the sound was retouched, but you can't deny it was done.

[@danielscissorhands]

Rhoda Bracewell But, Rhonda, maybe he is a ventriloquist, and he is throwing his voice at the mic. JK.
