All those types spawned classic albums on their breakaway projects late 90s. Their legend was established / were in their prime, was the perfect situ whoever they recruited was in awe and it brought the best out
I recall a shopping trip to buy a new stereo as that was how we listened to music in those days. I needed a new CD player and was looking at a few options. The sales assistant approached me and asked if I had anything that I wanted to listen to. Having just purchased the It's great when your straight album, I asked him to play this particular tune over the shops speakers. I can still see the look on the guys face to this day. He asked me who it was and I told him. I bought a new CD player and the sales assistant bought this album. Good times.
American here, discovered this band on a Brit Rock playlist. Great find! Music like this makes me want to leave my country. I live in the wrong country.
@@adamluck7002 No it isn't. Ryder's brother Paul played bass in The Mondays, he wasn't in Black Grape. Guitar here is by Paul Wagstaff aka Wags...and it is indeed fucking brilliant.
This was shot at the site formerly known as the Pearl Assurance Building on High Holborn, it was closed for 10 years before reopening in 2000 as a Hotel - its now Rosewood London 5* Luxury Accommodation........one of the chauffeurs told me about the shoot when he was in to pick up a guest, I used to be a doorman there I did tell the Hotels PR to add this video to the Wikipedia Page but so far they haven’t done it - this video has only been on you tube for 2 years as previously the one I saw 5 years ago was found under “wHo HaS the BiGgEst BrAiN”
Nah, most people have terrible taste. Look at the songs with millions of views. Almost entirely awful. You wouldn't want those people listening to Black Grape. They wouldn't like it, and it wouldn't just be for cool people like you and me. Getting millions of views is a badge of shame!
I remember this coming out and was suprised and relieved. Shaun had been through a bit and I thought nothing could top top the Mondays, but this is on par. Brilliant.
They came and played at UEA in 1995 and my mates forced me to go (thank goodness). Never heard them before holy moly did that night stick in my memory!
Absolute classic album
Doesn’t get the credit it deserves
The lyrics are tremendous, funny as fuck and the tunes are banging
Fucking magic !!

Was a number 1 album in the UK in 1995.
Saw 'em live... Maybe twice, memory bit hazy😂 Defo KNOW I did see the Mondays twice, though😉🙂
Innt Rkid 🎉
This album was WAY ahead of its time. This song would be a hit song today if it were released.
It is 2024 and I still like this song.
It's amazing, Rave on . 🔥💪💯😎

Black Grape is too much cool for this times.

Guitars and holdups. Wheres the ODCs nowadays
Fuckin oath bruv! Saw their last and final gig in Liverpool and to be honest they still rock my soundsystem
Takes me back to the good old days of watching 120 minutes on MTV.
Damn, do I miss those days!
"Jesus was Batman" is one of my favourite lines ever
How about, "I don't read, I just guess".
Neil Armstrong arstront he had balls bigger than king Kong, first suit on the moon and off to play golf,hollyone
"white is white and black is black. Jesus and his lawyer are coming back" is still my fav, from "Novocaine for the Soul" by The Eels
No no na no no na na! THAT WAS BRUCE WAYNE

You’ve got to see Happy Mondays live, they also play all the Black Grape hits! 👍
You'll never find a band like 'ver' Grape, again. Two albums and MORE freaky dancin' videos. Dig it, amen.
Oh and by the way best british album of the 90s

This woefully underrated song needs to be re-released.
Still sounding fresh in 2023……….such a tune Jesus was Batman
I remember this coming out and was suprised and relieved. Shaun had been through a bit and I thought nothing could top top the Mondays, but this is on par. Brilliant.
Yeah I remember too, nobody was expecting the album to be as good as it was and it still sounds brilliant.
Look forward
these boys fucking defined the sound of the 90s and most people just know the vibes
They came and played at UEA in 1995 and my mates forced me to go (thank goodness). Never heard them before holy moly did that night stick in my memory!
