I've been a fan since 1980. As an American, I learned years ago that if you meet a New Zealander and tell him or her you're a fan of SE or like the Finn brothers, you have a friend for life.
Probably the same with any Australian :-) a couple of members of this band went on to form another band called Crowded House. You’ve probably already heard their stuff but if you haven’t - give it a try it’s awesome.
My biggest musical regret is that I got into the Enz only 10 years ago. It just wasn't on my radar. I take every opportunity I can to turn people in to this magic. My kids are all fans at 12, 14 and 17 respectively and I feel proud.
My biggest musical regret is missing the Tool - Lateralus concert as I had an exam the day after it, so stayed in memorising BS paragraphs I didn't understand instead. It was the best album I'd ever heard, changed my taste in music. My degree was obviously a massive waste of time though. Many regrets..
Why do I always find the best music when I can't sleep? It's happened over and over and over. It's like the borg is f-ing with me, I swear! This is at least #5.
My dad took me to a musical when I was 5 and this is the only song I remember from the musical, it's been 3 years since my dad died and this is still one of my favourite memories with him
I have this album on cassette taped it off the radio station decades ago. I play it in my car....yes 2000 toyota factory cd/ cassette player. CD player doesn't work. I feel like I a am my 20s with tapes in my car LOL
Saw them play back in the 90s when I was still living in Wellington, NZ. I've seen so many big acts over the years, but to see Split Enz popping and pogoing out of a giant paper bag to "I SEE RED " - priceless!
Favourite Split Enz song ever since it was released. Fantastic guitar riff. [although they performed some wonderful ballads - I Hope I Never being their best - always wondered why they didn't write more songs along this rock vein] Very talented guys musically speaking. Not sure why it was Tim Finn who left the band to pursue a solo career [ironic how younger brother Neil went on to a successful career] because the sum of all members made Split Enz an excellent unique band.
Classic! I remember this since 1979! Such a wild track. To me, the image of the drummer playing while sitting lazily in a big armchair is honestly one of the most hysterical things in rock history!
I’m a Trump supporter. And in time you’ll come around, just like Rogan and Musk. Who were both lefties before. (I’m a liberal at heart btw. But the definition has nearly changed.)
@@mixedcryptoarts3579 If Rogan (who let Alex Jones spout conspiracy theories unchallenged on his podcast, amongst other things) and Musk ("The coronavirus panic is dumb" amongst other DAf things he's said/tweeted) are your benchmark for quality I'm going to be quite happy to not share their company or the company they keep. Mostly cause I haven't had a head injury of am myself am part of a minority that is subject to discrimination and abuse.
Well, they were from New Zealand, but were extremely popular in Australia. Were you maybe thinking of 'Skyhooks' (with Ian 'Shirley' Strachan and Red Symonds)? Cheers!
Rubbish !!! Look again... just random crosses of different shapes and configurations. Perhaps you are reading too much into an innocent 1970's 'New Wave' costume design!
I jumped for joy when I first heard this song in high school. There had been so much godawful crap on Australian radio over the past few years. In hindsight the melody here sounds very XTC - but, remarkably, songs XTC hadn't yet written.
I don't understand why red is so angry, it one of the lowest frequency light waves, I see ultra violet when I'm passed off, short wavelength, higher energy
I wonder if this song would be allowed in these days of Wokeness -- some extreme feminists might accuse the song of encouraging anger towards women. Luckily no such wokeness when this was recorded.
@@davidstevenson9517 I was obviously referring to it being made these days, not looked at these days. When people twist/misinterpret my words, i see red I see red I see red!
@@annetownsend5888 I think you'll find the reference to 'baby' is his ex female partner -- not a literal baby. When my baby's walking down the street I see red, I see red, I see red How could someone wicked walk round free I see red, I see red, I see red I see red, I see red, (hey!) I see red
Um, no. As a long-time fan of both I can safely say the music is only the same in regards to the genre they both get labeled with. Different influences; different arrangements; different mood...not Devo-ish at all.

Nothing quite tipifies the brotherhood between Australians and New Zealanders as much as both claiming great bands (and food)

I saw Squeeze but never Split Enz live.

I am 57 in October 2023 and the first time I heard this song was in 1980 at Glenfield Park School.
I will be 57 in July of 2024. Cheers

Hey what musical was it?? I'm in a musical right now and I get to play it. Sorry to hear about your dad, I'm glad this helps you remember him. :)

Love the chair the drummer is sitting on. Total class.
OMG and the little HEY at 2:44 is just the icing on the cake
Malcolm Green is a bloody Legend, very funny and a good friend...So lucky.
Hahaha
brilliant underated gem of a song love the piano playing on this song

An ex mate of mine said se where the best concert he's ever seen
Split Enz
"I See Red"
Frenzy
A&M Records, 1981
I have a very large collection of infer red remote controls.
Don't ask me why.
This single released in 1978.
Astonished to see Tim at the opera house concert in '24. I cannot thank you enough.
Still got the 45. Kiwi classic.
Why ???
Sell it for $10...😁
A classic for the ages .

A classic. I love the way they move around so hap-hazzardly and they just suddenly disappear at the end. Brilliant!
Great song and video love that guitar solo 👍
3:00 Love the deep voice.
that's the inimitable Noel Crombie
And he also does it on the live versions as well.
I SEE RED
These guys are brilliant!
best song eva to describe an emotion

I have read 📚 red in my head tachycardiaramagrahams in my heart ❤️
Seen Tim Finn play last week. I popped hard for this track and still brilliant.
He’s a nz treasure so talented !!
Classic! I remember this since 1979!
Such a wild track.

last song they played at a concert in Christchurch about 1980 brilliant
im 54 and i saw these kiwis back in 80' 😂what a bunch of crazy lads they were! still love them though ❤
no way, same🤣🤣🤣🤣the 80s, what a time to be alive!
Okay idgaf
@@thechoochster can we honestly e-date?
My husband was New Zealander, our sons remind me always, they are beautiful and I miss Shane every day
Two and a half minutes of hi-energy new wave frenzy, and then... Unexpected Oak Ridge Boys at 2:52!
While I'm lwatching this my 10 year old leans over and smashed the like button, isaid to him do you like this song he said is very good.
Cool!!
The first music I ever purchased was this. never out of fashion either.
First listened to them in the late 90's as a kid, totally forgot about them, I'm in my 30's now and I found them again
Not on Spotify 😢
Literally why I'm here lol
The most beautiful thing is that Split Enz see red, whatever it maybe, to the listener
One of the best ever pop songs about possessive and jealous emotions towards your lover.
Green before you met me
In the pink when you let me
Love you
I was blue
When you let me down.
Great wordplay.
Memories. Good ones!
I see red I see red I see red
Memories
They made the best videos 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️🥁🎸🎶🎹
Oh to be young and a rock star. Lovely video.
Huge
Does anyone know the band ajr?
This is the kind of nervy harder stuff I preferred from them.
Go Split Enz!
oh gosh...do i really get to do this. and on a split enz video no less????.. ok... here it goes... First!
@coogan8825 nah, cause of post apocalyptic action film trailers from the 80s... But my user gets more and more relevant as time goes on.
@coogan8825 since at least 5% of my brain works I don't think I could ever be a trumper.

was tim taking dancing tips from ian curtis?

Timeless Aussie brilliance

anybody else notice this is slightly slowed down/lower pitch? (at least at the start)
This is how I heard it on a best of compilation from the early 1990s.
1978 Harbord Diggers club disco dancefloor
😄
I can’t describe how much I loathe and detest this song!
Just remembered how many bad memories it brings back
most bat shit crazy band in the universe
Nope there have been many more if you know where to look
Gonna see flames 🔥 😮wearing upside down cross jacket.
Rubbish !!!

It might also be a bit of a tribute to The Southern Cross / Crux , which, last time i checked , was not an "evil" constellation. @@phoenixgreen9047

New Zealands first punk rock band, complete with Monty Pythonish music videos.

Tim Finn at his outrageous best with brother Neil in the ensemble. 😂 😂

Passed, passed, passed, passed off, annoyed, crapped off, emebriated off?
Get a grip google
And don't mess with Australian colloquialisms
Estavam à frente de sua era!

"Very Devo-like!"

This song has nothing to do with Trump
