    The thing that I love about the B-52s is that on all the recordings, videos, and even live, they seem to be having the most fun of anybody there, which really translates into the feel of their music.

    • @andyzehner3347
      @andyzehner3347 2 роки тому +5

      OK. But I'd say the opposite. What I find compelling about the B-52s live is that they never smile, and never waver from the seriousness of their performance. In interviews they (Kate especially) is always smiling and happy. But when doing to the songs. . . . total seriousness and professionalism, lest anyone think that Private Idahos and Rock Lobsters and dancing all 16 dances and moons in the sky are less than serious!

      Sure it's more about having a blast, than anything else! They knew that they may not become mainstream, but always be a crap load of fun, no good party should ever go without! I love wigging out, dancing sideways, and freaking out guests with it! How can you serve succulent garlic/dill buttered lobster, and make an impact? Not without playing "Rock Lobster" You can't! it's freaking impossible!

      @@andyzehner3347 It's called sarcasm! There was an excellent surf band in Chicago called "Spies who Surf". They dressed in trench coats and dark sun glasses, had dessert props like a howling wolf, lit up moon image, cactus, ocean backdrop with lighthouse boats n' all on stage. They had what looked like two secret service guy's with sunglasses and ear pieces on either side of the stage that would react to movement and take notes, and they themselves looked straight forward the whole time, not once looking at their instruments, but rater also staring down the audience, and that playing some pretty complex music! If you had something to hide, or a sliver of paranoia, you would surely freak out and leave! They were an absolute blast to see, and very good musicians too.

      The B52s were never sarcastic. Their on-stage manner conveyed the message that rockin' out and havin' fun was serious work.

    Cindy Wilson y Kate Pierson iniciaron la banda con el baterista Keith Strickland, el guitarrista Ricky Wilson (hermano mayor de Cindy) y el vocalista Fred Schneider, luego de una noche en un restaurante chino, y tocaron por primera vez en 1977, en una fiesta del día de San Valentín, para algunos amigos.
    La música de B-52's está marcada por las voces de Wilson y Pierson, y el tono generalmente monótono (o directamente hablado) de la voz de Schneider.
    El sonido "new wave" de la banda era una combinación de dance y música surf, junto con los extraños sonidos de guitarra de Ricky Wilson. También eran distinguibles por su vestuario. Durante el tour "Mesopotamia", las famosas pelucas de la banda fueron encomendadas al cuidado de Jackie Slayton, artista de Athens y amiga de la banda.
    Debut
    Su primer sencillo, "Rock Lobster", grabado en 1978 fue un éxito underground que llevó a los B-52's a tocar en lugares como CBGB en Nueva York. El lado B de este sencillo era "52 Girls". Se lanzaron dos versiones de este sencillo en el Reino Unido, que tenían como lado B "Running Around".
    Su primer álbum, "The B-52's", incluía versiones regrabadas de "Rock Lobster" y "52 Girls", junto con seis temas originales y una nueva versión del clásico de Petula Clark "Downtown".
    El álbum tuvo un éxito inesperado, especialmente en Australia, donde llegó a ser disco de platino. "Rock Lobster" le dio a la banda su primera entrada en el listado Billboard Hot 100.
    Década de los 80
    Su siguiente álbum, "Wild Planet", alcanzó el Top 20 en el Billboard 200 en 1980, y obtuvo el disco de oro. "Private Idaho" fue su segunda entrada en el ranking Hot 100; en esta época, los B-52's tocaron en Saturday Night Live y también se presentaron el festival Heatwave en agosto de 1980.
    "Party Mix!" fue su álbum siguiente, un álbum con remixes que incluía temas de sus dos primeros discos y los presentaba en forma extendida.
    A pesar de que las sesiones de grabación con David Byrne (de Talking Heads) fallaron, las grabaciones fueron lanzadas como el disco "Mesopotamia" ("Party Mix!" y "Mesopotamia" luego serían unidos y lanzados juntos en un solo CD).
    El álbum "Whammy!" en 1983 llevó a la banda hacia música más electrónica y hacia la experimentación con caja de ritmos. Así, "Legal Tender" se convirtió en su tercera entrada a los rankings. Luego de las primeras ediciones de "Whammy!", problemas legales con Yoko Ono sobre copyright, llevaron a reemplazar la canción "Don't Worry" en las nuevas ediciones con "Moon 83", una variación de su tema "There's a Moon in the Sky (Called the Moon)" de su primer álbum. Ricky Wilson, guitarrista de la banda, falleció a causa del SIDA en 1985. En 1986 sale a la luz el álbum "Bouncing Off The Satellites", último trabajo en estudio con el fallecido Ricky Wilson.
    Uno de los puntos más altos de la carrera de la banda, fue su participación en el "Rock-in-Rio" festival de 1985, en Río de Janeiro, Brasil.
    1989, el regreso del éxito
    En 1989, lanzaron el álbum "Cosmic Thing" donde entre otros se destacan el tema "Love Shack" y "Roam" posicionando la banda nuevamente en el puesto n.º 1 de los USA y tornándose un éxito mundial.
    De los 90 a la actualidad
    En los noventa grabaron el álbum "Good Stuff" (1992) que los mantuvo en los rankings a nivel internacional y fueron elegidos para elaborar la banda sonora de la película Los Picapiedras (1994), con su tema principal Meet the Flinstones (en el videoclip se lee Meat the Flintstones). Aparecen en el largometraje con sus respectivos atuendos prehistóricos, cantando el tema The Bedrock Twitch.
    Adicionalmente la banda fue invitada para participar en la serie animada de Nickelodeon llamada La vida moderna de Rocko en la que interpretaron el tema de inicio de la serie.
    Últimamente la banda está enfocada en muchas labores de apoyo a ONG asociadas a los temas de salud y preservación ambiental. Participaron también del "True Colors Tour" de Cyndi Lauper, junto a otros artistas invitados. Este evento promovía los derechos civiles de la comunidad gay estadounidense.
    El 25 de marzo de 2008 fue lanzado el último trabajo discográfico de la banda bajo el nombre de "Funplex", este es el primer álbum de estudio de "The B-52s" después de 16 años y por la discográfica Astralwerks.1​ A la vez el nombre de la banda cambió omitiendo el apóstrofo.

      This omits the countless number of appearances, after 2008+, they made playing at state fairs, and casinos.
      The Boomers and their grandchildren were dancing everywhere. Many for first time at a live B52's event... sadly for most of us it was the last.
      The loss of Kate's brother reflects on her and the rest of the band. We, the fans, notice and morn the loss to this day.

    When I was in college there was a big outdoor concert in San Marcos outside of Austin TX and they were there. I remember being a rocker and assuming they would suck. It was a great show. Energetic and good band. Was very surprised and became a fan. This would be 1982!

    An absolute masterpiece that I had just discovered!
    This song defines my best friends family!
    Both parents were and raised on a cornfield in Iowa.
    Where they never met an Asian or Hispanic.
    An ultra conservative, homophobic, ultra religious family of basic blonde bimbo’s.
    I cannot blame them for being this way. It is their upbringing, and they are good hearted but judgmental.
    They barely tolerate me because I am a homosexual male who lives by great morals.
    They ridicule my beloved best friend for being an unusual individual of genius;
    Every DAY!
    Derek and are singing our hearts out to this at our favorite karaoke joint in our city of Dallas!
    Wish us luck y’all!

      She doesn't get as much credit as Kate yet was absolutely vital in helping create their signature sounds including those amazing vocal harmonies! She kind of looks miserable during their more recent Vegas performance which saddens me. Even Fred looks bored. But Kate is still way into it and it shows.
