Music videos that feature Thunderbirds

[Blackbird]

thanks 4stringer and Dave!  I'll remember the link embedding moving forward

[Pilgrim]

I find that usually when a YouTube link appears as a link rather than as an embedded video window, there's an "https" at the start of the URL.  Deleting the "s" usually allows it to appear as an embedded window.

That was true before we upgraded to SMF 2.x. Now it doesn't matter.

Blackbird was putting the link between URL tags, that's why it was appearing as a link.

Anyone post THIS one? DUAL  jamming white 64 TBirds on the same stage during the 70s TBird reissue period.

...and more members of Mott the Hoople than you can shake a stick at, with an Ian Hunter clone

It looks Like Pete's T bird is stripped on the edges of the headstocks as well as the back of the neck!!!

I remember seeing this on TV at the time - the second TBird player is a kid from the audience which Overend just pulled out and handed an unplugged instrument.

The British Lions were the Mott the Hoople remnants' last attempt - after the short-lived Mott - to leave the shadow of Ian Hunter behind. John Fiddler was initially a strange choice for a band as visually oriented as Mott - glasses, beard, slightly overweight -, but he morphed quickly into what you see in the vid. However, in the Punk/New Wave deluge of the time, their cause was a lost one. Strange that they had a full 45 minute live TV show awarded to them as neither Mott the Hoople nor Mott had amounted to much in Germany.

I think this is a new one to here...

How could this thread have gone on so long without mention of the Faces Quireboys?!!!







Faces pastiche or not, they were/are a fine band. That kind of gritty R'n'B-infused goodtime rock'n'roll Brits pretending to be Yanks do best. Or Yanks pretending to be Brits (Black Crowes) pretending to be Yanks.

[Nocturnal]

I actually watched a few of their video's recently. I had forgotten about them for the most part until I read an article about a band called The Peckham Cowboys, which features a couple of the members from LQB's. They definitely borrowed from the Faces sound.

After Rod declined they really should have gotten Spike to do that Faces reunion.

It's ok, we've had myriads of Zep clones, so if a handful of bands opt for the Faces ...

I like the piano tinkling in their music. It's the Elton John fan in me trying to escape.

Quireboys are playing in town tonight with Enuff Z'nuff. I never checked them out, figuring they were another poseur metal ("hair") band. That's some decent rock and roll there though!

[Nocturnal]

They came in around the end of the hair metal craze when bands seemed to be following more of the G-n-R model of trashiness. I saw them in a smaller club here in Phx and they were a very fun live band.

[wellREDman]

Quireboys were  sadly buried in the post GnR tidal wave of trashy rock, much like their fellow Londoners the (also brilliant) Dogs D'amour

really good band and nice guys to boot. their Bass player is Phil Mogg's nephew
