Not Rolf Harris. That was a vindictive politically motivated set-up, that is falling apart as time goes by. I haven't looked deeply into the Saville case, it seems legit, but there are certainly lots of reasons to be sceptical of the RH prosecution. Paul Gadd was unfortunately a deeply damaged individual, from his own terrible start in life in notoriously abusive 'care' homes. The abused becomes the abuser etc. Very sad.
Suzie.q Popcorn123 pity he’s a beast done some really good songs backed up by the glitter band rock an roll 1 and 2 cracking ,now I just wanna crack his head in .
If he dies you never know...a large part of the reason his stuff isn't played is due to the fact he'd be paid royalties. Just like the current Michael Jackson boycott on many stations likely won't last as he's dead....people may start playing this stuff again. Maybe. Probably when he's a distant memory

I have no problem separating art from the artist. Yes, Gary did some very bad things, but that shouldn't decide whether his songs are good or not. And this song is really very very good, indeed. A true classic of the glam rock genre. I choose to remember Gary for the good things he did. The bad stuff? He's paying for it right now. At least he gave us some good tunes before things went wrong.
@@SpaceCatttttIt's honestly such a shame, because his music, from what I have heard, is pretty good. Some of my favorites are Rock 'N Roll and Leader Of The Gang (I Am). It's just sad that he threw that all away. Leader of the gang, he isn't anymore.
I have a problem with it! Because his music and fame helped him procure more individuals to abuse! His good music, if you call it that, is catchy! But it certainly does not outweigh what he did, and continued to do!
@@stealthy1086 It's not the music's fault that Gary is a sick man. You don't have to buy his records if you'd rather he doesn't get the royalties, but don't blame the music itself.
Fantastic record. Love the production - the drums, hand-claps, sax and guitar... and what a great song. To be honest, he did a great performance, though it's hard not to laugh at the costumes and the rolls of fat...
At the time I did not realise that his stage suits were too small and that he could not lip sync for toffee. The whole thing at that time was about glam rock and the atmosphere created by the percussion and heavy rock beat. Most of us were at the Disco with just an image in our head of a guy in a wig making us dance. He was a showman.
I lived through the 70s, when this was our music, I will not abandon listening to this music just because he went wrong, and other people think I should, and PEOPLE the glitter band were TOTALLY INNOCENT, THINK ABOUT THAT FOR MINUTE.

Please Answer only if you were there. 💗 Before all the personal problems happened with Gary. When we put Glitter, Bowie and Bolan as artists together . Did they have good or bad media coverage? Were they mildly the same in terms of artistry and mindset / personality ? Which out of the three would the British media abuse the most ? And lastly, Which of the three would the fans /girls be screaming for the most? Thank you. Serious questions. Be honest.

He is the one who sticks out to me and i like The Sweet ..Blockbuster I think I know of those. Anyway this conversation is better than any book to read so the 3 year wait also makes sense. it is appreciated. Don't worry I am patient for the truth lol. Thanks again.
Can still remember walking down Fountain's Road, Kirkdale Liverpool back in 1973 singing that song as a 8-year-old Kid . We thought we were the Dogs Bollocks lol Anyone else still alive who was in our gang??...................................................... P.S Lived in North Dingle 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
I'm proud to have been in Gary's gang since the mid-1970s. I was first 'hooked' when hearing Doin Alright with the Boys, and have been a loyal follower ever since then. He's still the leader and always will be!
when I was a small boy, Glitter was the best thing on the radio. the music was so full of energy, incredibly well produced, totally infectious. subconsciously his music was a big influence in my own musical productions 20+ years later. what he did as a person is sickening and unforgivable like so many others in show business, politics, the church and throughout society in that era. I hope one day we can separate the monster from the musical legacy and enjoy his music once again without somehow feeling guilty about it
we all condem child sex crimes and we all reject trivialising the issue. I'm LISTENING to this music but not wanting to promote it because the I enjoy it and I feel can detatch somehow it from that one person who was involved in producing it.
Music was better then Gary has paid a high price for what he allegedly did or didn't do I expect there are entry of other performers who may of done bad things but got away with it
Half the media did worse than him. If you like the original music of the Glitter Band then give it a like. Oh, Hollywood approved it with Joker. I like GG.
GG and the Glitter Band were mega back in the early '70's. All the snide comments won't change that. Just think Michael Jackson, and several others who fell by the wayside.
What are those discs or round pads on some of the drums (snare, floor tom, and small tom)? Since the drummer was actually striking the drums were these used to quiet the drum hits enough so that it wouldn't be heard over the piped in music? I'm assuming the audio of instruments was coming from prerecorded tracks at minimum but I don't know if they mimed to the backing tracks at full volume "live" in front of an audience or if this is an edited production made to look live where quieting the drums would not be necessary.
Jimmy Savile, Rolf Harris, Stuart Hall, Max Clifford, Ian Watkins, R. Kelly, Bill Cosby, Harvey Weinstein, Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, Adam Johnson, Danny Masterson, Allison Mack and Huw Edwards are all part of Gary Glitter’s gang. Who else have I missed?

Is what you were taught in school true or false?....."but the teacher said".........what if the teacher was also taught bollocks and is now teaching that same bollocks to you, totally oblivious to the fact that they're talking bollocks at all.
You've all been had and you don't even realise it yet.
Barny DW he wants him and his music burning.

Leader of the gang with Jimmy Saville. Their club house being the BBC
Add Mick Jackson to that little pack
I'd say Jimmy Saville was far and away the leader of the gang though Glitter was a prominent member of it.
fame fortune .respect ,gave the pervs a ticket to ride .....they got away with it for years justice will prevail much is the pity jimmy saville died before he was found guilty ..scum bags
@@daveduck4315 id say Michael Jackson is innocent
Sad but true. With shareholder's worldwide. Pity the children.
This has touched me and I'm pretty sure its touched others too.
Very good at glam rock ..enjoyed the 70a. .
Glam rock at its best.
This was on the juke box of my local pub until quite recently. It always got a few looks but it is still a good song!
OK. He did wrong. But the music is still superb and nothing can change that.
Can't find the version with Jimmy Savile and Rolf Harris on backing vocals...
+knotsandcrosses1 I know but fear not coming to a bargain bucket at your nearest petrol station.. Gary Glitters version off Little Girls..."I'd buy that for a dollar" nom nom
Rolf Harris was too busy singing his hit song "Two Little Boys". ("..with two little toys". ffs)
Jimmy and Rolf were busy, spit-roastin' your little sister in the dressing room.
knotsandcrosses1 😂😂😂
Or the Lost prophets cover version.
He had so much given to him and watching him grow in success was amazing ! All that hard work !
He was growing alright 😅
He loved asking children to watch him grow!
Are you part of that gang 😂
There were many victims of that time and no one wanted to see it or take notice , I never saw it as a joke , lives were ruined and still suffer today ! @@TheWorldListens
Saw him in concert, really good show.
" do you want to get in my van, my van?"
+macturbo789 lmaoooo
As he's parked outside a school yard hanging a bag of lollies out the window..
YorkshireMack ha ha
My brother drove a car
RESPECT TO YOU, BAZ, AND YOUR BROTHER GAZ...
Love him or hate him he was in the decade i grew up in. Seventies. Simply outstanding music. 🙌
I agree. I grew up in the 70s. Still adore this music. 💚💚💚💚💚
You were touched by him?
@@ItsKenny11 naaaaaa. He never touched me......🙏
Colin Westwood aa ok just asking 👍
Absolutely Colin we didn't know then what he was doing and I for 1 am not going to rip down my own childhood because someone else wants me to 👹👹👹👹👹
My relatives showed me this video and I can say it’s AMAZING 😂
Leader of the pedo gang.
The opening is perfect with the hand claps and all, it's a great song
Nonce.
Cracking song...vile man.
@@patricklonergan3 how is that a comment on the song?
Not really, it's shite
So sad the man wasn’t the same as the song itself.
what a lyrical genius
😂😂😂😂
"Hi Gary I'm Chris Hansen, take a seat!"
mi ricorda la mia infanzia, così lontana così vicina, questa canzone la sentivo al luna park ma non sapevo cosa fosse allora ricordo che una sera agli autoscontri mentre la suonavano ho chiesto cosa fosse il titolo e così il giorno dopo sono andato a comperare l'allora 45 giri. Quanti ricordi e che nostalgia di quel tempo.
I'm the man who put the bang in gang. Brilliant.
I bet your not old enough to have danced to this, too good.
@@hullamajascot1 At 66 years old I did dance to this and I was the leader of the gang riding my 1972 Honda 750cc 4 cylinder motorcycle. I am actually THE man who put the bang in gang along with Suzi Quatro.
7316bobe hahahahaha
Because of him The glitter band who were great.Get tagged no plays of records But they were brilliant in there own right.
This didn't quite touch me but it did with others
The Joker movie (2019) has once again given rebirth to his haunting stacatto number Rock 'N Roll Part II
trouble is most foreign countries don't know was talking to some friends in us and can they have no idea
Please Answer only if you were there. 💗 Before all the personal problems happened with Gary. When we put Glitter, Bowie and Bolan as artists together . Did they have good or bad media coverage? Were they mildly the same in terms of artistry and mindset / personality ? Which out of the three would the British media abuse the most ? And lastly, Which of the three would the fans /girls be screaming for the most? Thank you. Serious questions.
Be honest.
@@thetruth9210 Hi
Hey thanks so much for answering my question. It is interesting to me and I appreciate reading your account , testimony if you like , of actually being there ...Just googled Steve Priest. He is the one who sticks out to me and i like The Sweet ..Blockbuster I think I know of those. Anyway this conversation is better than any book to read so the 3 year wait also makes sense. it is appreciated. Don't worry I am patient for the truth lol. Thanks again.
Fun facts about garry glitter
1. His music never gets old
2. Neither does his girlfriends
@@thetruth9210 they are indeed
The members of his gang was Jimmy Saville,Philip schofield and jeffery epstein
Kevin Spacey, Bill Cosby, Dan Schneider, John K., Jeffrey Jones, R. Kelly, Victor Salva and of course everyone's favorite, Subway Jared.
Can still remember walking down Fountain's Road, Kirkdale Liverpool
back in 1973 singing that song as a 8-year-old Kid .
We thought we were the Dogs Bollocks lol
Anyone else still alive who was in our gang??......................................................
P.S Lived in North Dingle 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Was a big fan in the early 70s as a teen.What happened later in his private life has to be separated from his music.
I'm proud to have been in Gary's gang since the mid-1970s. I was first 'hooked' when hearing Doin Alright with the Boys, and have been a loyal follower ever since then. He's still the leader and always will be!
Just keep taking your medication Nigel some of these pills take a while to get into your system !
gary will always be GORGEOUS
Well said.
Nigel Bryan You will always be an idiot and that’s putting it politely
So us on the doll where the strange man touched you...
fantastic sound remember moments when i whas young...thanks father the glam..
do i like him as a person no but i like his music and his stage performance
Mark Mendoza your easy pleased wtf
That's horrible to say and hear
The music will never die.
Yeah…it should……you sell your children for a fucking song…..shame on you….your a drek of a human being.
He should.
@@janebridle1657 absolutely right!
"Do you wanna be in my gang, my gang, my gang?" Er no thanks Gary, I'm good mate.
No worries, they got puddin' pops and free $5 Footlongs. :)
One of the greatest singers of the 70s. Miss this kind of upbeat music
Listen to sweet and Andy’s sweet still going strong today .
It's medication time.
@@thetruth9210 Never heard of ,them but I'll do a search to try to find them & have a listen. Thanks
He was, there is no doubt in my mind that Gary was the leader of the gang
Yep the leader of a paedophile network !
when I was a small boy, Glitter was the best thing on the radio. the music was so full of energy, incredibly well produced, totally infectious. subconsciously his music was a big influence in my own musical productions 20+ years later.
what he did as a person is sickening and unforgivable like so many others in show business, politics, the church and throughout society in that era.
I hope one day we can separate the monster from the musical legacy and enjoy his music once again without somehow feeling guilty about it
we all condem child sex crimes and we all reject trivialising the issue.
I'm LISTENING to this music but not wanting to promote it because the I enjoy it and I feel can detatch somehow it from that one person who was involved in producing it.
Music was better then
Gary has paid a high price for what he allegedly did or didn't do
I expect there are entry of other performers who may of done bad things but got away with it
Thaks for that music Gary! ❤
Half the media did worse than him. If you like the original music of the Glitter Band then give it a like. Oh, Hollywood approved it with Joker. I like GG.
GG and the Glitter Band were mega back in the early '70's. All the snide comments won't change that. Just think Michael Jackson, and several others who fell by the wayside.
Jerry Lee Lewis married his 13yo cousin yet is still regarded as a rock n roll legend.
This was a number 1
What are those discs or round pads on some of the drums (snare, floor tom, and small tom)? Since the drummer was actually striking the drums were these used to quiet the drum hits enough so that it wouldn't be heard over the piped in music? I'm assuming the audio of instruments was coming from prerecorded tracks at minimum but I don't know if they mimed to the backing tracks at full volume "live" in front of an audience or if this is an edited production made to look live where quieting the drums would not be necessary.
Im sure i saw him on Top Of The Pops back then doing one of his songs and he was sitting on a chopper motorcycle at the beginning .
Jimmy Savile, Rolf Harris, Stuart Hall, Max Clifford, Ian Watkins, R. Kelly, Bill Cosby, Harvey Weinstein, Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, Adam Johnson, Danny Masterson, Allison Mack and Huw Edwards are all part of Gary Glitter’s gang. Who else have I missed?
Um.. Jared from Subway? Kevin Spacey? Jeffrey Jones? Dan Schneider? John K.?
😂😂😂😂😂 Ben ...you rock !!
BRILLIANT ❤
Who else have you missed,, probably 1000s.....this mob are just the ones who got caught 😕
Ian Huntley
Stewart Hazel
It’s true what they say. Once you get Glitter on you, it’s impossible to get it off.
I was a glitterite ..loved his music still love it ..
School disco tunes...they have their place.😊 Was more of a Wizzard fan myself...
Yes I agree...wizzard were good but it was Gary glitter for me..just a shame he spoiled it ...but I still love his music.....
Me too@@lindamcclean295
“Do you wanna be in my gang?”
No thanks Gary
Your song is really good, but sorry Gary, we don't wanna be in your gang, especially after what you've done.
They got free Subway footlongs and puddin' pops.
I’m in his gang for life. And I’m 61!
Bloody fantastic 🎶 thank you Gary Glitter 👏 👍
paedo
Thank you?!
@@JM-ll2vv I only like the music that’s it
What he's done or hasn't done is irrelevant to the music as are most of the comments. No one before or since has sounded like this-it's unique.
Johnny Foreigner Well said. I think what he did was awful but his songs rock!! 😊
but its the band that made these songs great, garry glitter was just a fat nonce.
Oddly enough the band was just for show. The backing is quite minimalist.
Johnny Foreigner Yep I certainly agree and yes he was an awesome performer.
Johnny Foreigner of hevraped your child / children you would be singing a diffrent tune. Every word and move would etch in your mind where his body parts went!.
There are a lot of great musicians ,, but you live in a secluded world which you havevsterilized for your comfort!..
I loved him when I was 8. He would have loved me too.
😈 PERFECTION 😈
“Do you wanna be in my gang?” Erm, no thanks Gary.
Heather is purdy.
If he wasn't a nonce you would want to be in his gang heather
I got the 100th like
They got free Subway footlongs and puddin' pops for dessert!
even when i was in high school in the late 90s , kids were going round singing this lol little did we know what the leader of the gang was in to.
I can separate people from their deeds from their music and Gary Glitter was fooking awesome
You wouldn't be saying that if it was your daughter he molested.
he was good at what he did////singer songwriter with Mike Leander....like him for his talent...
