First saw them in about 1984/5 at The George Robey in Finsbury Park. Epic band. Spent time chatting at the bar with Damian and Steve Mack. Lovely lads.
great song, excellent song, really underrated :-) I love their version of Non Alignment Pact...and cant stop is one of my fave songs of all time. Wonderful :-)
fuck man these guys the greatest lost band of al time if ya get me, its so right and synchronistic for them to get back now all the new bands remind me of them. TPE xxx
brilliant song from the greatest band in the world. All I managed to see live was their 15 minute set at the 1993 Phoenix Festival - they deserved better than that disasterous day.
I'm not condoning their actions (UDA, UVF UFF), just think it rather sanctimonious for the O'Neill brothers to condemn sectarianism, while having honoured convicted terrorists on live TV ; those black armbands insult the memory of the IRA's countless innocent victims. Nonetheless, that footage is still broadcast worldwide to an adoring, yet hopefully unsuspecting audience. I make absolutely no apology in saying they are worthy of nothing but contempt.
they were a fantastic band. the most underated band of all time in my view
this is real music to me. what a great bass line. hugely overlooked
In love with TPE since 30 years and it still goes on
Just brilliant! Manic Pop Thrill still one of my favourite albums ever ❤
seriously
@@kenkovar2647 seriously
Love this murky, kinda angry, 80s music phase. Jesus and Mary Chain, Echo & the Bunnymen, etc.

I absolutely love how John O'Neill has still had his black telecaster since 79
gotta paint mine black
I hope this video is still in my loft…
Well, I just saw them last night here at SXSW, and they're still bringin' it. They'll be touring the US this fall, so keep posted.

This is great--one of those things you never expect to see!

How did this band never enjoy the succes that they so deserved? Why? Thank God they are back.
Austin, TX. Quite a long way from Seattle! Better weather + BBQ, though. :)
mate, you're absolutely right. in my humble opinion, Feargal Sharkey was a butthead
although he had that great voice
manic pop thrill is magic. and so is this./ love tpe
All of their stuff is magic. Seriously
Im from Derry where there from and my mate always bangs on bout them. his brothers in the band though
fucking amazing track
Wow.
Great band and a great rock song (before they got all funky).
Funkiest ever
still sounds fresh
@ulsterman1980
So then, what about UDA Terror ? UFF Terror ? UVF-Terror ?
Keep reflecting.
Not the Undertones vocalist, but Steve Mack, surely, now working with Leona Lewis?
PINK!

Naw dude I love feargal but he was actually a twat. He was very stand offish. He seemed a rare bean. But he was an amzing singer.
Apologists for IRA terror, no matter what their 'artistic merits'. Give me Feargal any day.
