Baby Song by Wicked Kiss (feat. Rosie Langley)
Переглядів 43 тис.2 роки тому
Baby Song is a hard-driving, female fronted (Little Sis, Cathy on vocals, Big Sis, Barb "Thee Animal" on Drums) original rock/power pop song that hits you in the face with a tongue-in-cheek response to sexism in the music industry. The video is shot in classic 80s MTV style as a nod to the nostalgia of the era and reflects female musicians and women overcoming boundaries and challenges that are...

What a voice, thx man!
Great interview! Love him! 🖤
Great interview. But wow, she is so gorgeous!!!
Caaaaaathy!!!!!!!
Just one of the best singer/composers to come out of UK, northern England in fact. A very gifted bloke! Still going strong.
Operation mindcrime is ‘mmmmm very current
Geoff ! I’ve seen a lot of times “solo” … Geoff is up there in “dio” .. Bruce Dickinson “ ….. totally awesome
Love John! Such an underrated artist.
The best thats all just the best
Just seeing this interview now. Wonderfully insightful and intelligent interview. It’s great to see such diversity from the usual questions heard in thousands of interviews. Informative and beautifully deep. Thank you so much.
What a treat to watch this! Thank you!
Lol my landlord evicted because of this album I played it on 10 for a month straight. It's the Scarface of Heavy Metal music. Operation live crime was amazing to see live. I still remember the opening act was a band called warrior soul. ... Does anybody know what ever happened to Warrior Soul ???? I've never heard of them before or since that show ...
GREAT.
18 with chills ? That was an orgasmic experience
Super video!!! The Great Tate interviewed by a superb, cool, knowagible interviewer. I really dig your style Cathy! -- OK... what's AS good as a "hockey chick"?....a "Queensryche chick"! Rock on!!!
Cool video! Cool song! About 1 minute in i thought, hmmm... he should be buried up to his chin for making her (Cathy) ditch the denim!!!
❤😊
What a great interview. Best artist interviewed by a superb interviewer. She askes brill questions, and importantly allows him to speak freely. A great insight into Johns life. Thankyou!
Bless her heart, for the life of her she was not understanding what Geoff was trying to say. She kept acting like she hears the original recording and kept trying to tell her that NOBODY had heard it because it was remastered before they released it… BUT… she just wasn’t getting it. lol
Why is there no audio in the last two minutes?
I just checked and John Waite is from Lancashire England and Bill Nighy is from Surrey - - 207 miles apart.
John's British accent is the same as Bill Nighy (Love Actually). I LOVE IT! They must be from the same area of England. Depending on the section of England that someone is from, it effects the type of British accent they have. It's the same for Americans - - Americans speak differently depending on the state or section of the United States. Southerners speak differently from Northerners and that sort of thing. Based on the accent, you know what part of the United States they're from. SO COOL!
Great interview!!!! It’s always good to see different perspectives from each meme Eric ands this way we can possibly put a better understanding of what happened to the bands and their breakups or discords. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Does she sing still??
MR waite is my best friends uncle.. Brian dewhurst. John's nephew.. John's cousin. Mary ❤️amazing AMAZING lady /person. Thousands will agree with meeee 🎉John. You're song is 👍😘😍🎁🎈💯 Mary Jacobs nee hracavina. Excuse the spelling!! Your cousin John.. She made me the man I am today!!! Love waitey 🎈🎁💕 John's cousin MARY ❤❤❤❤
The myth, the legend
Came for John Waite and stayed for this great interviewer. Super questions!
Justin Hartley, star of CBS show "Tracker" which was a it for them in the spring, looks a little like John Waite in the mid 80's.
Yep, like Baby's, Ignition, especially.
Great interview ❤️👏
Wow ! Great interview , I’m a Queensryche fan for life, too bad there was so much turmoil with money and legal issues with the break up towards the end . Very common with a lot of bands though… Still not a takeaway of how great of a band they were though! ✌️
He looks alot like Terry Bozzio when he was younger. Former drummer of Missing Persons.
Was lucky to see the baby's in 78. And in town recently. Have an autographed photo. Lovely voice
Retire.. to working a Vinyard...that's just like Jean Luc Picard!
Wow! Awesome video with one of my favorite musicians. Thank you. Just saw Geoff Tate in Scottsdale. Great show.
it's amazing how the lyrics from this 30 year old album, relate to what's going on today . these guys nailed it on this album. Gotta Love Cathy Rankin too, besides being a total babe , she's a great interviewer. I just saw Geoff 2 nights ago and he still sounds fantastic.
That was a really good interview. Thank you.
Dude!!! What a great f'n interview. I'm impressed.. these are the questions I would ask.. all a fan since 1984. Truly,,, brilliant job. *just saw him 3 nights ago and I'll always love you geoff tate
Cathy is hot as F**k
Man she’s so right. You HAVE to listen to the whole Mindcrime album from front to back. You can’t just have one song. And maybe it’s just me. But life today totally makes me think of Mindcrime. Corrupt preachers/politicians. The poor being run into the ground, etc.
Great great interview 👍👍👍
Smudge Lord on the Drums is so funny
Roads to Madness incredible tune
I think Geoff was checking out her legs! Can’t say I blame him!
Can we get your wine here in Ireland
Thanks again for taking my son James under your wing
Has Geoff watched "Key & Peele?" yet?
I hope no babies were ever hurt at these concerts.
Imagine if Zeph Daniels and Geoff Tate collaborated!
