Brilliant Australian 3 piece, a timeless band, a big front-of-house sound thanks to Blox, Cliff & Mike. Draws me right into a fun chapter of my life every time a hear them. Love this song :-)
My favorite Australian Band, hands down there's MANY that come almost neck in neck but for me The Spy's just have that something special about them, they have such a big sound for a 3 piece band, rivals that of Midnight Oil etc, maybe not live but definitely on recorded tracks, absolutely brilliant, it gets me down somewhat knowing these boys really did fly under the radar and never quite got the attention I personally believe a band like this should have recieved, it's no wonder they packed up and went to Brazil for so long. There's shows of Spy V Spy live in Aus 2017 - 2019 on UA-cam filmed on phones etc, that was a shock for me, would LOVE to catch a show!
Mike weiley passed away - just before he found out he had cancer Cliff rejoined the band and they were rocking... In mike's dying hours he asked Andrew Davis to be the lead guitarist and to keep the music loud and live. He even gave Andrew his guitar, complete with Brasil guitar strap. Cliff has a new band playing the old songs and the guys have utmost respect for mike and craig. They even do a set list with Calling Card from Mike Weiley's solo project called 'Honey Island" - They sound very, very good. Spies were always a live band. Cliff gets that and is playing on. This is the page they advertise their gigs on
Craig Grigg I’d rather shoot myself in the dick than watch spy’s in another version of its death knell Why didn’t Cliff come on board when Mike was still playing in his version of the Spy’s? Sadly the spy’s died when Blox decided to get on with life & do his own thing which obviously didn’t involve playing in bands
@Laneway Music Thank you for uploading this. The spies were very influential to me growing up in Sydney, their music resonated with me and still does to this day. Grateful to you for sharing that little bit more.❤
The sound these guys produced from just the three of them is amazing. If you didn't know them you'd swear there was someone else there. Love the Spys and miss Mike.
What a great video, I had never seen them in studio. One of the most underrated bands ever anywhere. Been listening to Spys since my teen years in late 80s Brazil and their music hasn’t aged for me at all, will always love it.
Spy v Spy were a brilliant Aussie band that never got the recognition they truly deserved, I saw them live several time during the late 80’s, early 90’s, and they were absolutely brilliant live. R.I.P. Mike Weiley
I just love this.......they were so clearly enjoying themselves. They sound so strong and fresh, raw energy and talent......and not a mobile phone in sight. The best!!🤩
Their original line up was a real good band live the original line up first time I saw them live was the Horden Pavilion with Screaming Tribesman Hoodoos good times
I’m not one for the good looks department - I’m no oil painting - but this guy could and can cut it either way across different genres of music at the top level. In Australia in the 1980s he was on our watch list. Very capable musician and not his fault he was blessed genetically with that look. Hats off to you Charlie, just keep on trucking!
Just saw them last night for the first time with Cliff on drums in i am going to say 25 years since i last saw him with Spy's. While we are down 2 other original members it was very, very good
@@Gavin84w I saw them at Mudgeeraba pub recently....with Cliff on drums! it was a hell of a lot of fun and they sounded good. I miss Blox on Vox. but I always will!! Was good to bust out the old Spy's t-shirt and jump around again! They were the best three piece band ever!!
I am loaded in a suitcase Possessions are secondary To the quest and to the final aim I'm looking over shoulder Hoping to miss the crossfire Forget the jest, forget the final blame I'm counting on assistance Cause there's nothing more There's nothing more I hope there's nothing less I'm snowblind, snowblind Maybe I'm snowbound One's a blindfold, and that's the wrong road But you can't alter natures way So who can say that I'm the one to blame For people escaping nowhere cause they think it's greener But it's never greener On the other side I'm snowblind, snowblind Maybe I'm snowbound Say that I'm snowbound.
One of my fav clips, seeing the boys in the studio.... *ALMOST* as good as live... Check out Cliff LMAO! - he always looks like hes having a blast, Mike always looks insanely deep in thought... and BLox looks like he's having fun! God I miss those days.
Just got back from a 2 hr walk around Coolum beach with my blue boy towing me around all over the place like sounds like a song all over the world he luvs the Spy’s
Hell yeah must have seen spy's 50 times everywhere from the bull and bush to jindy we booked our snow holiday to correspond with the dates spy's played Lake Jindy Hotel. I think they actually made the complete catalogue available for free on the website but, nothing beats playing Harry's Reasons out of its cover and cranking it up, my kids look at me funny but they are kids and aus live music scene died ages ago.
@@bigmaxy07 yes they were the days I actually did the whole lefty at the snow in 91 lived in a caravan next door to the ljh those days are gone and I'm getting old but sure glad I got to live them the music scene was terrific back then my kids are 20 and 22 and don't have a clue they just roll their eyes when I put a spy's, gurus, ratcat, hunters, triffids album on. Next weekend I'm going to watch the girls from falling joys and the clouds do their thing at the local up here at Old Bar

I look at the garbage getting millions of views on YT and yet the Spys are lucky to get a 100k per video. What a brilliant band they were. (I'd like to know why "Blox" gave the game away to be a Cook at Doylo RSL.... or Newcastle Hospital. He was better than Hutchence, Garrett, Rayne, Davies, all the other vocalists from the 80s. He will always be the best on-stage vox-man Australia has ever had)
The greatest 3 piece band Australia has had. No one else had a guitarist like Mike Weiley
Awesome power he had... although he always looked the unhappiest of the crew.
So true, his guitar work was a thing of beauty. Still love listening to these guys
The guy’s rocked. It was a different time, the younger crew are missing the 80s and 90s
Got to give Blox credit too, his drive filled the gaps
I still have these guys on high rotation. Best band ever.
Always playing their music 40yrs on
We had some of the BEST music of all time in the 70's and the 80's.Nothing like this nowadays. I miss It..
Ran into blox about a month ago what a cool dude makes killers bass guitars in his shed loved the fact spies legacy was still going
Who's here in 2020.
Cheers from Australia.
ALLWAYS ❤❤❤ THE SPYS! BRILLIANCE🎶🎸🎤🎸
Brazil....
Love your country. I was there in 2016... Cairns, Brisbane, Gold Coast and Sydney! Regards from Brazil!

Thanks for the upload. Very cool.

Bloxy's voice is sooooo recognisable!
Glad I grew up with these guys in the background or up at the front...
Interesting how Blox stuttered in normal speech but he was able to sing without stuttering.
@@johnkerr1957 My younger brother was the same, but, when he opened his pipes (like yelling at me...) you didn't hear any false starts...
1st CD I ever bought. Classic Aussie Rock.
Fui num show deles aqui em Atlântida - RS - Brasil, só não lembro o ano. Muito top!
Ya got to smash this in to ya it’s this best 👍🏻👍🏻
The best!!!
the spys will always rock it for me
Just saw them last night for the first time with Cliff on drums in i am going to say 25 years since i last saw him with Spy's. While we are down 2 other original members it was very, very good
Great drummer

Massa!
Bought this album home some time mid to late 80's and coped an ear bashing, single now, buy any music I want with my $
Love the 12th man Richie intro. It's the little things.
The best 3 piece Australia ever produced - over and out click
I am loaded in a suitcase
Possessions are secondary
To the quest and to the final aim
I'm looking over shoulder
Hoping to miss the crossfire
Forget the jest, forget the final blame
I'm counting on assistance
Cause there's nothing more
There's nothing more
I hope there's nothing less
I'm snowblind, snowblind
Maybe I'm snowbound
One's a blindfold, and that's the wrong road
But you can't alter natures way
So who can say that I'm the one to blame
For people escaping nowhere
cause they think it's greener
But it's never greener
On the other side
I'm snowblind, snowblind
Maybe I'm snowbound
Say that I'm snowbound.
i still have my original 33'' vynal pressings... ao-mod, harry's reasons are my favourite.
best music out there.
One of my fav clips, seeing the boys in the studio.... *ALMOST* as good as live...
Check out Cliff LMAO! - he always looks like hes having a blast, Mike always looks insanely deep in thought... and BLox looks like he's having fun!
God I miss those days.
Banda Incrível!!!
I love SPY ....i realy love
What a great Australian band ...criminally underrated
A sound all of there own. Awesome.
Bring it 👍🏻👍🏻
Just got back from a 2 hr walk around Coolum beach with my blue boy towing me around all over the place like
sounds like a song all over the world he luvs the Spy’s
never ever thought this but omg so aussie truely
that is Awesome - 100 thumbs up - long live the spies !
Hell yeah must have seen spy's 50 times everywhere from the bull and bush to jindy we booked our snow holiday to correspond with the dates spy's played Lake Jindy Hotel. I think they actually made the complete catalogue available for free on the website but, nothing beats playing Harry's Reasons out of its cover and cranking it up, my kids look at me funny but they are kids and aus live music scene died ages ago.
Bull and Bush yes they got great bands, LJH yes what a pub that was/still is but without the scene we once knew.
@@bigmaxy07 yes they were the days I actually did the whole lefty at the snow in 91 lived in a caravan next door to the ljh those days are gone and I'm getting old but sure glad I got to live them the music scene was terrific back then my kids are 20 and 22 and don't have a clue they just roll their eyes when I put a spy's, gurus, ratcat, hunters, triffids album on.

Met Craig at the Berlin night club in Perth ...went back stage ...the nicest guy you could ever meet. ..gave me great advice
From the squats of inner Sydney to pub favourites here and abroad..unique hard socially aware sound..very politically correct indeed!
Una rola que te anima el cualquier momento del dia
Still here 2021
The best! \o/

Need good honest Aussie music back !!
Was that Les Karski at the SSL?
I was wondering the same thing? Anyone know? Love his work with the early Oils and Spies.
great drummer this guy !!!
fcuking druggie
I saw the Spies open for U2 at the old Sydney Ent Cent. They were awesome, and U2 need not have bothered.
Dam Right
bring back the “Spy’s”

Think I was about 17 when I started listening to
I love rock, from Perú
who is the guy on mixing desk?
For all Australian special forces that get deployed
This song would relate ?
Bring back the Spy’s
There is nothing more
Exist's tabs this song ?
Does anyone know if what the sound engineer is doing makes sense ... or is he just an actor playing with the console?
no idea
What genre.
Great Aussie Music 🤙🏻😎🇦🇺
