You know a band is special when they put something out this good 30 years later...
@Agnes Philomena it's beginning to and back again! haha!
WORD.....I saw them in Morro Bay California at a Small Club. They blew me away with their Musicianship.....at that Age. They can still BRING IT.
SO TRUE...
Intelligent music. Never tire of these guys. Lifelong fan. Love you Cy.
These guys are super intelligent! Not just musically!
@@fixxforlife1569 compared to most bands? well that's a-safe-bet, i guess... in fact, a smarter group of cats, would be hard to herd, i bet, now how d'y'like that?
@@tinfoilhatter Sorry, I don't understand your question.
@@fixxforlife1569 are they frickin' cool, or WHAT, right?
yep 'messages in the music'... ; )
I KEEP DISCOVERING MORE GREATNESS FROM THIS BAND
This is my favorite band from the eighties. They always had this way of creating an atmosphere with their music that is dramatic and mysterious. They are better than ever now!
Holy shit they sound good. I miss this 80's sound floating over the airwaves so much. Very happy to see they are true to their original style, unlike some older bands who try to follow the current trend.
This song is amazing, when I first heard it , I thought it was from 1995.
This song is for my friend Carrie. Who left in ,1988. To Texas. For a good life. And... She got it. I'm happy for her. God bless....
I can honestly say that The Fixx saved my life .
When you were in a Fixx?🙌😇
This is so deep and cerebral. Thanks for so many years of cool vibes and contemplative music, guys.
The eighties...a goldmine of musical treasures, The Fixx is absolutely one of them.
I've been a "fixture" since the early eighties, seen them live twice and met them in 2010. This is their best work yet, fantastic!
Synth at 3:25 are really fantastic. This band is really awsome. Cheers from Belgium
Met Cy last week.....very personable.
Somewhere between dreams and waking , start the day with some simple thing to say, remembering, we all can find a Beautiful Friction in between the lines!
What a Great song! Always liked this band. And yes, JWO is very underrated - has a lot of color in his playing.
Loved them back then, now the maturity of their sound displays itself in a richer multidimensional quality then back in the day. Excellent live sound, Long Live the Fixx.
awesome Band! love them back then, love them still! 2019
Brilliant.... as ever! If there was one band that I could be in, it would be the Fixx
That’s a badass song. Those guys are all super talented musicians, this show was on point.
Absolutely the most underrated band ever. Taken in to account longevity, consistency of members, number of albums, musicianship, Chart successes, and the list goes on. Plenty of underrated bands that had two or three albums, around for a a few years, but cant hold a candle next to the Fixx.
I've loved this group since back in '82 when I lived for some time in London. They were part of hundreds of great British bands that basically dominated the radio waves all over the world. Still as good as ever.
Saw 'em last week.
One of the best true bands ever.
None have a sound like The Fixx love them!
i think im going crazy i can listen to song over and over
No, you just have good taste.
Next level in every direction.
This band should have been massive…they deserved much more acclaim. One of the most nuanced and thoughtful bands of the 80’s.
What an amazing group
For some unknown reason, I really prefer this live-version over the original studio-track. The guys were in such perfect-form, it's clear to see that this is one of their favorite songs to perform. I can easily imagine the day (way back, while rehearsing how this song should come together) when they looked at each other, and just KNEW lightning had struck, and they had created something really Magical.
First time I heard this song was at Anthology in San Diego. The CD had not been released yet, but they were playing some of the songs this particular evening. I loved it from the first note.
One of the best pop songs in decades, IMHO. Just unreal. Nothing fancy but just unreal. Wish I could come up with shit like this. The hypnotic guitar stuff is BIG TIME, the keyboard stuff as well. A shame that Cy Curnins solo album was never released (or was it?). Bruce Gaitsch provided some great stuff there. Will continue being a Fixx-fan, although I'm a hard rocker.
Glad to see this band still around.
Thanxs!
AVOLITE d
It's the same lineup as when they formed in 1979! I've seen them twice at The Birchmere in Alexandria, VA (2017, 2019) and they were excellent.
One of the most gorgeous guitar tones I have ever heard. Also like Secret seperation tone.
Sounds like a crystal bell. Brilliant.
Yeah I wish I knew what amp he is playing through, it's small and mic'ed but it doesn't look like a Fender, could be a Roland.
yup kind of like the police, maybe a little flanger too.
.
Almost looks like two Fender Hot Rod Deluxe amps. Wondering if an AxeFX is being used as well. The green strat is great. Jamie West-Oram signature model. I'd buy one.
No AxeFX, good shot of his pedal board in the One Thing vid. Man that green strat...
Pure quality.
Incredible band, incredible music! Thank you for sharing. These boys used to pack stadiums in the 80's playing to millions over there career. Incredible legacy of music they've given.
Agree and did not get to see them until the later nineties, where they played at Town Point Park in Norfolk, VA. Was great to see them live.
Way underrated album!
They sound so awesome. Still making gorgeous music. Love the guitarist's chops.
Another great song from one of the best, intelligent modern rock bands of the '80s...This is no surprise, even though it's almost 30 years later in the performance. They are still in fine form. So cool and so good.
This is good song. I just saw them at an outdoor free show where suprisingly I got right up to the stage for the whole concert. They performed VERY well! They played so many other songs other than the popular ones from the 80s. Jamie West Oram is something else to watch play that guitar! They just played and played...didn't waste a lot of time talking! See them if you can. They have such a unique sound!
SIGUEN SONANDO A LO QUE FUERON Y SIGUEN SIENDO....UNA BANDA IMPRESIONANTE QUE NOS SOPRENDIERON EN LA MEJOR EPOCA DE NUESTRA MUSICA Y SIGUEN SORPRENDIENDONOS.........BRAVO THE FIXX
Saw these guys in the mid 80’s in Fresno California, opening for either the Police or Journey, and they killed it. This right here sounds way better than the track on the CD. I’ll love this band so much till my last breath.
Gawd can Cy be any more wonderful
I couldn’t agree more!
Listen to this guitar 🎸sound and playing! Brilliant!
it's so dang fendery and shiny-soundin', right? like how does he do that, right?
I would like to these guys get their Hall of Fame recognition, one of those days. Every album they have made is worth the attention.
These previous comments are right on the mark. Lol. Totally agree. And their music now is my style, adult contemporary, lol . Am I right? Nice lol.
Great song! Always liked the Fixx, but never saw them live. Going to see them next month at the Avalon theatre in Easton, MD
Great song from the new (and great!) album of the band. You must have it!
I love this band, always have but didn't know it till I was older! Ha...
Great job , I Love this , I love The FIXX !!! tHIS INSPIRED ME .
Saw them live three time`s , love them ! So unique !
Cool Beans !
hey, y'know what? i saw 'em in '84, and then again in '86, so i guess that's twice, and i'd say that was a good start, alright...
When I first heard saved by zero I knew they were special, such a good band live flawless, probably my favourite song beautiful friction followed by outside.
On that same page with you.. they exist and create a different dimension to exist in..
I dare say they evoke a posy apocalyptic vibe thing with these songs you mention.
Built for rhe Future
All I ever wanted from those eyes
..........Beautiful friction............
I love these guys "Red Skies" got me hooked. Cy Curnin is a 'friend' of mine on facebook and seems as personable as his music. I really like these guys. I think they as people are my favorite rock band.
Tengo sus seis primeros discos de estudio en vinilo todavía, además de algún single... Poder ver y oir este nuevo GRAN trabajo es una gran alegría para mí. Me ha encantado que George Underwood vuelva a las portadas. Beautiful Friction y Shaman mis preferidas. Muchas gracias! Sois los mejores!
All these years and that the best guitar riff I ever heard Oram wrote!
PLEASE COME TO PLAY IN THE UK!
I DIDN'T KNOW THIS BAND WHEN THE 60S . NOW ...WOW .. I REALLY LIKE THIS BAND ..
Love them 🤘
Amazing! They sound as great and resonant live as they do on record! If anything, they bring even more power and intimacy to the live performances. The mark of a truly amazing band. Love the Fixx! Go support these guys and buy their new CD. NOW! :) :) :)
They're still killing it. Love Jamie's guitar playing.
How soothing huh? Lyrics are spot on. Lol. I love the Fixx. Since high school. There inception. And this tune, so adult!! Lol. Easy going. Sweet. Make Love music. Lmao. Right? Yeah.... Lol
Slow riding baby making music at its finest. I'm with you bro.
I AGREE WITH THE OTHER COMMENTS ...A GREAT BAND AND A GREAT SONG .. AND THIS VERSION IS SUPERB
These guys are unbelievably talented ❤
What an amazing song. The guitar is hauntingly good.
My favorite by them. Damn nice tune.
I've been into the fixx since 1982. And they sound great 👍👍👍. If you look at a video from 40 years ago, they were something lol, punky, up n coming band, they have aged well folks 😁😁😁 lol. God bless....
Very hard song to play live, well done boys !
Many Thank' i ssssssss to Kink Radio
I loved ,love and will always LOVE the FIXX ,i bought all their albums excepted the last one ( not yet )
Their music and style of those melodies makes me do alike a space flight MMMmmhh ! !
THAT GUITAR IS SO UNIQUE .. I LOVE IT
Beautiful
This is really good!
What an addictive tune people!!❤❤❤❤😇
I truly believe that they've never sounded better than on their latest album. Haven't played anything else for 2 weeks! This performance is simply stunning. My life really would be complete if they could visit the UK just once? I can only hope!
amazing guitar work.seriously brilliant
Uhmmm.... Just a FANTASTIC BAND!!! DAMN!
Wistful, majestic, magnificent
It's cool these guys are still doing it well. I wish them the best.
I have always wanted to see these guys and will 1 September in Derry NH. One of the best bands to come out of the early 80s Brit wave.
Love this song.
This is a great cd ! taking a trip in your car put this cd in.. this track i love it; play it over and over . thanks fixx for many years of geat music. woman on a train is my best!!
Amazing band. Love!❣
Such an amazing track
This is a great performance! I adore the Fixx. Always have, always will.
This whole band kicks ass! Listen to that bass line!
I just did! Awesome band then, and now!
awesome to see these guys still writting great songs.
They are just SO stinking GOOD.
This new Fixx album "Beautiful Friction" is AWESOME! Best album they've put out in years. And this title track is one of their best songs ever, in my opinion. No other band creates music like this anymore, and why should they? These guys are 30 years strong with a great backlog of great records. I'll be at the Canyon Club show next week. Can't wait for Jamie's killer clean tone and Cy showing me why he is one of the best frontmen in rock.
found this 3 years ago still love it
Love this song!!!
There’s always time for the fixx
unbelievable live!! wish i could have been there!
This song is excellent. Even though this was before the band The Church it has that feeling. Miss these days 🖤
Saw them do this last night,,,,,great show and this song is superb!
TIMELESS BEAUTIFUL MUSIC-THANKS FIXX KFA !!!
God this song is well played beautiful song wow
Truly awesome guys! Will add to the best of 2012 and the main rock and Alt playlist on my music website. I'm pleasantly surprised by the new music. Will share with my network. 8-)
