Red Hot Chili Peppers in the movie Tough Guys back in 86. I loved this movie as a kid and this was my first introduction to the band.

try and find videos of banRAB you like when they were just starting out...like the earliest footage possible


YouTube - Talking HeaRAB at CBGBs-"I wish you wouldn't say that"

I almost forgot how ****ing brilliant the talking heaRAB were. This was a gig at CBGB's back in '75 I think

 

[Sandradee W]

That looks like Dave Coulier on the drums. :laughing:

 

[TRUTHURTS]

Some great early Coheed and Carabria footage.

[TinkerToes]

Haha, that was awesome! These guys had such a great sound back then.

 

[imani b]

Heh...so much for evening skimming the 1-page thread before posting...that was in post #8.

The song is very Cure-ish before he starts singing. And yeah, Charaberlin looks funny.

 

[Robyn babey...x]

Kind of funny to see Claudio with shorter hair and glasses, sort of makes him look more like the Dungeons & Dragons nerd that he is. Cool footage though,two of their best songs (Delirium Trigger #1 since I started listening to them).

Am I the only person who actually likes the Primus live performances when the guitar is higher in the mix than normal? I love Les and all but Ler is awesome too and they have a completely different sound when his guitar takes the lead. For example, this version of 'Wynona' when the Letterman crew had no idea how to mix a Primus performance:

This old Alexisonfire clip from around 2002 of them performing what is IMO their best song springs to mind.

[Oba no cchio]

I've never seen a more perfect introduction to a band on a late night show...

 

[Kek]

I'd give my right nut to go back in time and see them during that era.

What song is that they are performing?

 

[Evan B]

Tegan and Sara playing Proud live in 2000. They hadn't even turned 20 yet. Great stuff!

[Yelena K]

It's called "Set It Straight".

 

[sgt slaughter]

It's a cool performance but seemed like a ****ty song...

 

[cap]

Here's some early R.E.M., from 1983 when they performed on Letterman. The song is South Central Rain, but in the interview clip at the beginning they say the song is yet to be named

Just found these viRAB, probably the cleanest old SP videos I've seen.

[yaboywoo]

Yeah, I think it was the performance more than anything that interested me as a kid. They just looked so crazy and fun there.

 

[BettYbOOpBaBY]

Not quite early footage in the same sense as everyone's posted already, but nevertheless...

^ Not only featuring David Bowie (blink and you'll miss him), but also directed by none other than Ridley Scott.

 

[Teh-Probe]

What a great song. You've just inspired me to throw some R.E.M. on my portable digital music player for the week.
