I don't think I've ever posted this anywhere, its a video of the band set against our studio recording, so things aren't completely sync'd, but its not bad. I used my Green '76 for the recording, in the vid I'm playing my Black '77.....yeah, that one George ;D

Love it!

Sorry Mark, our settings prevent embedding flash so I removed all the stuff that doesn't work and left the link.
Nice performance, one of my all-time favorite songs.
But I gotta say, your singer is no Kim Wilde in 1981. ;) Of course Kim Wilde 2008 isn't Kim Wilde 1981 either. :D

Gotta say, playing the bass on this song is nothing compared to the vocal chore, even the background (that's me!) stuff is very hard. We have to play this after we're warmed up a bit, it's just that hard.

Baa, I liked it - killer bass tone!
I just can't adjust to "chicks" singing the low "Na, Na, Na" backing vocals :D

Mark, I probably wasn't making myself clear. I was making a little joke about appearance, not criticizing the vocals. IMO Kim Wilde was very hot back in the day.

I agree that Kim Wilde looked extremely hot in the "Kids in America" video.

That was fun!

Ahhh , Okay. We've all been working her on that, and to her credit she underwent a cosemtic surgery and has made a lot of changes to her apperance. much for the better. We played N.Y.E and the crowd loved her......which is what is supposed to happen.This her and I during that show

Great job Mark!
-
that was very cool,i like the "high 8" look. great bass tone. what amp do you use.
-
Its a GK 1001RBII thru 2 4x10 SBX cabinets with a LINE6 pedal. I've had it about 3 years, so far its done pretty well. Its lots easier (for me) to move two smaller cabs than a single 8x10, and its loud, I've never even had it at half volume....it would likely kill something! Nice amp...
-
I like your singer on that, way more cool and shall I say experienced than Fräulein Wilde's nasal approach.
-
Of course Kim Wilde 2008 isn't Kim Wilde 1981 either. :D
I'd say she's still ok: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13GxQcPsBkM (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13GxQcPsBkM)

Well done!

She's in better shape than I thought! A couple of years ago I saw an article about her gardening books and a pic of her making a personal appearance at some garden center to promote her latest book. She looked good but plump and middle aged (NTTAWWT).

Same video live ( kind of )
Still pretty damn hot! A little on the plump side but but still :o

This is comparatively recent, just a few years ago. Nena (she of 99 Red Balloons fame) recorded an album reworking her old hits and had other singers guest on it who had inspired or impressed her at one time. Nena has always owned up to the fact that she initially patterned herself as the German dark-haired version of Ms Wilde. Nena is leaning on the anorectic side nowadays (she's been more statuesque before - you wouldn't know from her current look that she is the mother of five children, the first one, born in the eighties with a cerebral defect, died after a year, she retired from her career and moved with the child to an island to be there for it until the very end, the other four children are fine). Anyway, even in this official vid a gracious camera cannot prevent Frau Wilde from looking not quite so Matrix-"Trinity"-sleek as Nena, but she's still attractive and probably more, errrm, "comfortable" under the sheets too, not all women do have to look like 16 year old boys with breasts:

If that was Nena's goal, she did a great job. In my opinion, her music was better than Kim Wilde's and she was even sexier.

There can't be too many hot women can there?

I think that issue is best addressed in ZZ Top's "Planet of Women."
