Summer of -90. Oh man what memories. I was 17, almost innocent. I had my band, my long hair, my dreams... yeah... "You know I'm a dreamer.... but my heart's of gold"
So, i've always loved these since i was what, 6? i'm 18 this year, people say im too young to like this... is that why they got announced for download? i get to see my heroes. YAYAYA.
My old band supported these guys at the exchange in Edinburgh in 200.....6 or 7. We were given 2 fridges full of beer as a rider and I remember the bass player asking us where he could get a top up for his mobile. It was definitely a Spinal Tap moment! So funny...
I have seen Hundreds of bands and saw these a couple of times in Leeds and Bradford and they were truly awesome. Tickets cost me £3 at most! But I'd pay £30 to see them again.
whish there wud b more nu bands like these gud old rock n roll theres only the stone gods n they r quite at the moment. Much better than the depressing grunge that was ruling in 90's
Except they pre-dated both bands... formed in 1984, originally known as The Choirboys after a film Guy n Spike loved (had to change their name due to an Australian band of the same name), changed it to The Queerboys (as Spike & Guy's workmates on the building sites they worked took the piss out of their appearance)... and finally became The Quireboys. As told to me by Guy Bailey. Guns n Roses came to see them at their residency at The Marquee, as Gn R were due to play there the following day, I believe. Oh, and Lemmy - a longtime mate of Nigel's once lent him a lurid pink bass to take on tour as a spare guitar, as Nigel just had the one.... he never found out if Lemmy was winding him up or not, or just being helpful. I've digressed a lot here... but I hope the tales have amused you! 👍😊
I only remember the Quireboys from searching for Queen albums in 90s H1 record shops. But somehow I remember this chorus - I'd love to know how it was embedded in my memory, only to be uncovered 28 years later by watching this vid. It could have been TOTP.
He should stick to singing this kind of stuff and leave Frankie Millers tunes alone. Pure sacrilege if you ask me and only riding on the coat tails of the amazing Frankie and trying to stand on the shoulders of a Legend!!!

These guys were awesome but sadly underated they deserved way more recognition than what they got
Why the fuck aren't songs like this ever played on the radio 😢
This is better than most of the crap on the radio today.Too bad bands today won't check the past and learn.
This is my cousin spike what a great singer and one of my favourite songs 8)
ask him who the dancers were in the video and help everyone out whos asked on the video thread :-)

Spike is talented and very cute.

I was just seven years old in 1990, I remember my end of year party that year...

Saw them last December in London at 02 Islington. Pure music. Pure fun. Shook Spike's hand when he was getting on stage. Amazing!
This lot shone briefly and brightly right at the end of 89/beginning of 90. Great tunes
A younger stones but their own at the same time! Refreshing stuff! Awesome!
Quireboys rock
MorticiasTwin07 Saw the band play in my hometown tonight, they're still going!
So catchy and underrated
Spike was, and is, soooo good.
OH! They are the "Quireboys" now?? I knew them as the London Quireboys back in the day. Cool!
My older sister had this album! Loved it! Remember all these songs!
Great song!!! It rocks & it rolls ♥
You got to love this band.
Keep on rockin dudes
I remember this performance and still love it ❤️
I have seen them playing in Russi, Ravenna, Italy, last saturday. They are still great!
Quireboys was brilliant in their days x I even love them now xx
Still going strong today....seeing them at The O2 Islington this evening
Just saw these guys yesterday and they were awesome!!
Saw them in Cardiff Uni Feb 1990, a few months before this appearance. Where have 30 years gone...? 😧
Just discovered them,and I'm SO AMAZED...THEY'RE AWESOME!!!!!!!!!
Just pure rock n rolllll!!!!!!! 🎸👍👏
Great song!
Blast from the past, love quireboys, this is my fav song =)
Que gran banda 🇦🇷👍
see these last night in London supporting Saxon...excellent!
Vocalist is probably the next best thing to Rod Stewart
last i heard, spike, robin george, pete way (ufo bassist) and chris slade (acdc drummer) had formed "damage control" a couple of years ago
They will always be the London Quireboys to me
It's like the Faces, GnR,and Black Crowes all fell in together
Going to see Spike & gang @ the queens hall in Nuneaton 19th Jan can't wait 😀......saw them Feb this year acoustic ...Fab night
Respect the first out Trans rock band
whish there wud b more nu bands like these gud old rock n roll theres only the stone gods n they r quite at the moment. Much better than the depressing grunge that was ruling in 90's
Spike is rpobably oe of the best rock singers of his century...
DwarvesGotAxes biblical
Great to hear, like Guns&Roses and The Black Crowes, love child.....

Still playing with The Quireboys....I'm seeing them tonight at The O2 Islington in London
Swindon this friday
Rod Stewart and Guns N Roses ;)
Check out Spike singing FORTUNE with Bonnie Tyler just amazing.
He should stick to singing this kind of stuff and leave Frankie Millers tunes alone. Pure sacrilege if you ask me and only riding on the coat tails of the amazing Frankie and trying to stand on the shoulders of a Legend!!!
I think you have that a bit wrong there mate...spike has his own legend to go on....
@wouldntyoulike2know HELL YEAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cornholed my ex to these 😅
@tinyemo98 Spike? oh shit! I just had a heart attack
Christ rock music on the BBC... oh i see it was years ago... Nevermind :D
i dont love anymore a melhor
this must have been just brefore the Grunge wave!!
Anyone know why they were banned from TOTP after this? Apparently Griff did something naughty but Spike never elaborates!
do you know his number then?
When quireboys ruled the fucking world 🌎 biblical for sure
2 people didn't "Stand by their man"
Bring back rod Stewart :-)
Spike lush😂
I dare everybody not to dance!
Riff is a total rip-of by the Whoo's "I Can't Explain" from 1965!
Yeah course it is . Try this instead for that song .
