Bernard Butler - Stay (Jools Holland)

Bernard Butler performing Stay on Jools Holland's show. Bit of a quality upgrade from the version already on UA-cam.

With the so so beautiful Denise Johnson on backing vocals - everything she was a part of back then, she added the needed soul, warmth, and most essentially, that total 'added ingredient' that made many songs of that era, fucking masterpieces.
Such a lovely person also, I miss her so much.

One of the best songs from the 1990's. It's pure heaven. Epic on the scale of many great Suede moments prior. Much respect to Bernard. My dad took a punt on Friends And Lovers back in the day and that introduced me to him and his work. 'Cocoon' from that album is equally as brilliant. Phenomenal player and fantastic writer. Much was made of his lack of vocal talent back in the day but in hindsight, what's the problem? We've heard a lot, lot worse.

[@rorymacgowan4541]

I agree, his voice isn't half bad I always thought.

[@thecaveofthedead]

Denise really elevated every song she sang on.

Defo

[@ChainNonSmoker]

That red semi-hollow Gibson alone makes it superb.

[@sinnerboy6009]

The guitar work is awesome

[@briancox9357]

Whatever 'it' is this is it. Great stuff. I lost my CD copy years ago. Takes me back etc. Very talented man and band.

[@jungbonault320]

one of the greatest guitarists, song writers and vocalists!!!!

[@Some-kid-called-David]

I’d agree with two of those

[@79woodie]

@@Some-kid-called-David Agreed. His guitar work is questionable 😁

[@siddhartino]

in Suede he was amazing and wrote amazing riffs and licks. I think he's not one of the greatest guitarist ever, but a really underrated/underappreciated one

[@jakechat2716]

I strongly agree. When he was live in Suede he would do rhythm and lead guitar the same time, genius! And he's a great vocalist in my opinion. As for songwriting, his solo stuff is just brilliant.

Brett's voice here and you've got a good track.

Better than I remember

[@ytb460]

This was easily on a par with Neil Young's first album material.

[@QXZJX]

Can sing! 😮

[@MrPaulinbelper]

[@mcmacshalfilya]

Dedicated to The Super Duper TROOPER💚 U know who U are

[@themountaingoat21]

Obviously the long lost oasis single

[@yorkellic]

😆

[@dolam]

I am pretty sure that is Johnny Mar’s guitar he is using. Does anyone know for sure?

[@elpepeetesechhhh]

no, it's his guitar gibson ES-355

[@domingoherrera4445]

i think in the video is his classical es355 he always uses, but for the original song he actually recorded with a guitar Marr gifted him (english is not my first language)

[@ajb2065]

Johnny gave him a 330

[@WilfShadow]

I know Johnny gave Noel Gallagher. One but he's not mates with Bernard. (No beef but not mates), but Johnny did mention that he gifted NG and he also mentioned Bernard had one. The one Johnny has was gifted when in the Smith's by Seymour Stein

[@spacetimecontinuum]

How do Bernard Butler and Johnny Marr get their hair to look so incredibly fake, when it isn't?

[@siddhartino]

by dyeing their hair black as squid ink and straightening it, lol

[@pobstrel]

@@siddhartino Johnny but not Bernard did that!

[@theselector4733]

It's an occupational hazard I'm afraid 😅

[@mattipalojarvi1853]

There must be something in the water.

[@famousatmidnight15]

Read an interview that he washes he hair with eggs

[@QXZJX]

Bin better without the silly Hawkwind esque noises, but good
