These literally saved me in my teenage years,in the 80's there weren't understanding of mental health and I was extremely ill,i lived in my bedroom listening to these when they started,as well as the smiths etc..... honestly if it weren't for this band I would not be here as they gave me hope and strength to hold on.music is so VERY powerful.some use it for good like these,others use it and abuse it
I spent my teenage years in a nowhere town in Oregon and to rebel, my friend and smoked grass, started a band and tried to emulate the Mary chain boys. Some of the best times of my life
omg yes! Same here - heard them once on John Peel and next day got the bus into town to the HMV record store to ask about them. I bought psychocandy as soon as it was released, never regretted it since, love the feedback / distortion
“The sun comes up another day begins and I don’t even worry about the state I’m in, my head’s so heavy and I’m looking thin but when the sun goes down, I’m gonna start again” that pretty much summarises alcoholism. “You’ll never understand me yet” such an outsider anthem, incredibly powerful and beautiful song.
absolutely changed my life. a friend said to me recently what was your musical moment>>>>>my god< drugs help >>>> but Jesus and Mary chain.........you have no idea.....they. were just off the Richter...a taste of Cindy
I bought this pedal last year and never get their sound.. psychocandy sound is one of the most kept secret 😉 Tones of articles can be found on this topic.. "never understand"..
Here we have the true innovators of shoegazing before the term was even invented 4 or 5 years later. My Bloody Valentine who get all the credit used to follow them around and even supported them I think. MBV may have refined and expanded the sound but here is where it began and was finally a new beginning from punk which finished years before and was never replaced after many false starts and various scenes.
@@ForARide amen to that. As the saying goes, nothing truly is original. Kevin shields and Jimmy page for that matter were fantastic arrangers, but the structure of the music has been there all along. Same goes for freddie mercury. In addition to his gifted voice, he was more or less the final arranger of the boys' music.
Actually at this time no one is speaking about "shoegaze", we used to call it as "noisy pop", all along with bands like the "Shop Assistants" (also from Glasgow).. then only came MBV with their "isn't anything" LP in November 88. By this time JMC were yet far beyond from any other bands as much as noisy guitars were concerned and till now never caught up..
The secret to 'hearing' music like this: It's a beautiful song underneath all the terrible noise. If it's just noise, then so what? But if it was ONLY a beautiful song, it wouldn't hurt enough. Together, you get something great that most people will 'never understand' -- if you know what I'm saying.
I'm transported to a nightclub in Cheltenham in the 80s where I'm 17 and involved with local bands and, never knowing it, this was the best my life would be.
So many great ideas being consolidated in this song, Beach Boys style vocals, Metal Machine Music feedback, The Velvet's impenetrable coolness, Stu Sutcliffe's early 1960's aesthetic at 2:10, its a perfect combination 😌
J&MC is one of the most underrated bands of all time! I wore out my cassette of Pyschocandy back in the day and STILL cannot get enough of this album. To me this is the soundtrack of a Southern California summer...
I can remember being 12 and listening to this record. My dad was a pilot and came in like a smartass asking “who the fuck is landing a plane in your room?!!!” hahahaha love this record to this day!!!
Haha,my Dad was like "what the hell is this?" too when they came on the radio one mid-80s day. He did his National Service in the RAF in the late 50s/early 60s.
The sun comes up another day begins And I don't even worry about the state I'm in Head so heavy and I'm looking thin But when the sun goes down I wanna start again You never understandin' You never understand me Yeah Don't turn around until you look at me Why don't you take a second and tell me what you see Things I see you only disagree You never understand that's what I want to be You never understandin' You never understand me Yeah Not wishing to hide but you just can't see me I tell you the truth but you don't believe me Thinking of love but I can't hear what you're saying Tomorrow I'm leaving Cause I'm not understanding you
I'd argue that they are just as much underappreciated as they are underrated, if not more so. As someone who has followed them since I was a teen in the 80s, it's a challenge to find anyone I know personally who holds them in the same high regard as I do, or even knows of their existence, which is one of several reasons why I don't associate with those people much anymore.
When it first came out I thought that this song was about a tangled dark hidden inner emotional life, but decades later I now finally understand that it's simply about the Scottish accent.
I really have missed this band a lot over the years. Back in the 80s when I split my time tween hammersmith and california this back really made a huge impact so much so, that except for the Stone Roses no other band had as big impact as the Jesus and Mary Chain. Their album Psychocandy is still one of the most powerfull albums i've heard to date.
I bought Psychocandy on release. Beautiful piece of vinyl that blew everything else into the long grass. It really was that important. Under all the feedback/noise there are great tunes. First time I played it, in my bedroom, there was a knock at the door. My dad was stood with a screwdriver (tool not drink) and offered to 'fix' my speakers.......he just couldn't his head round the idea it was supposed to sound like that. Neither could I......
I bought this on cassette in 1985 and was convinced I had gotten a defective tape for a few weeks......defective cassettes were actually a thing back then especially from Columbia CBS records.......after a few plays you would start hearing some screeching sounds from the tapes........anyway I eventually started listening to Psychocandy again and it became one of my favourite albums
ALWAYS LOVED THIS, NEARLY 30 YEARS LATER, STILL LOVE IT. APPEALS TO MY MUSIC HEAD, SOMETIMES AT MY WITS END, WITH, SO-CALLED, HUMAN BEINGS. I CAN ESCAPE INTO THIS GREAT SOUND, WITH ALCOHOL, WITHOUT HARM TO ANYONE, I PRODUCE MY OWN TRIP IN MY MIND-SET.
greatest 80's band: in those times we were drowned in synthesisers then finally they came. Saw them live in 1986 they were totally feaked out and couldn't stand on ther legs but it was a thrill however...

I still remember pretty well, how excited i was, when i bought their 12", with that cool, simple red record sleeve, at our legendary record store "Hitsville" (formerly known as "Pure Freude") - though it was somehow the exact same length - since it was a pretty innovative record that time, very special and still "zeitlos" since then ! After leaving his band, Jim has also continued recording and touring under his own name, both solo, and with his sister's act, Linda Reid aka Sister Vanilla (51). Jim released his first solo single "Song for a secret" in 2005 on the "Transistor" record label and released a follow up called "Dead end kids" in 2006 also on "Transistor". Since April 2006 he has been playing with a new band that features Phil King ("Felt", "Lush", "Jesus and Mary chain") on lead guitar, Laurence Colbert ("Ride") on drums and Mark Crozer on bass. The band has performed his new material at several low key gigs including Whelans in Dublin and later, the "Carling bar academy" in Islington etc. ***
Loved them since I was lent a C90 cassette (before Psycocandy)! Am travelling from Swansea to see them in Glasgow in December…that’s how much I love them!!
The first time they played in LA (1985?) was at the tiny Roxy on the Sunset Strip and I was there. They played something like 6 songs, backs to the crowd … and walked off stage. They had become somewhat notorious for doing just that so it was really no surprise to me and my friend when they ended the show after so few songs. Kinda sucked but I’m glad I made the show. Psychocandy just blew our minds so we had to go. I saw them a year or two later at the tiny Whiskey a-go-go and a few more times throughout the years playing normal sets and they were always incredibly good. Still blows my mind Bobby Gillespie was their drummer on Psychocandy. Having previously played in the amazing The Wake on Factory Records the on to Primal Scream and I forget what else. Just greatness all around with TJAMC and it’s members.
Whenever I watch this video (which is probably way too often), the drummer always makes me smile because he seems to be doing his best Maureen Tucker impression even down to his clothes, hair, and sunglasses : )
40 years ago, as a 15 year old, a friend lent me a C90 cassette (about a year before P.Candy was released) of Mary Chain (Bauhaus and Velvet Underground)… a total life changer!!!!!
Aah, the 80's! Loved them live; watched them at the Barrowlands in Glasgow, and they lasted 15 minutes before smashing the equipment to hell - good times!
I bought PsychoCandy in 1987, it was fun to watch how the VU metres sticked like glue on the top of the indicator. Their noisy guitars give me 'eargasms' =)
The screechy nioses JAMC create here with their guitars, is far more reminiscent to John Cale's voila drones and his organ sound on TVU&N and WL/WH than Reed's guitar playing.
@@ForARide Yeah but Lou Reed put out Metal Machine Music in '73, which while being tape machine noise, was was pretty close to the kind of distortion the JAMC turned into full-fledged songs.
@@aniym21000 Reed learned about those drone sounds through Cale, who had been doing that sort of stuff back in the 60s:ua-cam.com/video/G6LLSfk6Jec/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/N_FkQdN4M4g/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/imBWKwANC4w/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/HsE75JRM3lY/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/IJWH9FRuar8/v-deo.html So I think this is enough evidence to prove where Reed got his ideas from.

Oh man......I listen to this & it's summer 1985 again & I'm 15 without a care in the world. What an incredible tune. I saw them at Leeds uni in late 85, supported by the Shop Assistants & Felt,
I loved this band, they sounded just like my head felt when I was 17, playing the vinyl on a cheap turntable in my bedsit & a Some Candy' poster watching from the wall, so long ago, life is strange; TG we have music!

@storksforever2000 The sexy noise was debt just by the vintage Shin-ei fuzz wah pedal, locked in the maximum fuzz position, plus the coupling interferences they got pointing the semihollow Gretsch to the amp. That was all, nothing else. Saludos desde España.
I was 25 in 1985. Luckily, we had a record shop that had new issues of the NME. Heard the buzz and Bought this 12", got in late and put in on the turntable. My mate, fast asleep, comes bolting out of his room. Perhaps the reason now why my hearing ain't too well. This and the fact that back in the day we did not wear ear pieces likes these f888 do now. If you were in a band... I was. We had monitors on stage to be able to hear the parts.
These literally saved me in my teenage years,in the 80's there weren't understanding of mental health and I was extremely ill,i lived in my bedroom listening to these when they started,as well as the smiths etc..... honestly if it weren't for this band I would not be here as they gave me hope and strength to hold on.music is so VERY powerful.some use it for good like these,others use it and abuse it
the power of great art.
good use of two great bands: The Jesus and Mary Chain + The Smiths
I spent my teenage years in a nowhere town in Oregon and to rebel, my friend and smoked grass, started a band and tried to emulate the Mary chain boys. Some of the best times of my life
What happened then.
Paul Cronin Like all of us……..time brought the chains of old age lol.
TTFPouyi Oh u r so witty. I can hardly contain my bladder 🙄
The clock tics for u too lol
did you get anything on tape? if so you should post it
It's not about you, though, is it.
You can't believe what it was like hearing John Peel first play this on the radio in 1984. The adrenalin buzz was something else.
omg yes! Same here - heard them once on John Peel and next day got the bus into town to the HMV record store to ask about them. I bought psychocandy as soon as it was released, never regretted it since, love the feedback / distortion
I used to listen to John peel at the age of 12 .under iCloud
Dino yes! God it all sounds better on radio.
I came across Monster Magnet through John Peel too. Had to import that CD from Germany 😅
Number 1 of his 1986 Festive Fifty
“The sun comes up another day begins and I don’t even worry about the state I’m in, my head’s so heavy and I’m looking thin but when the sun goes down, I’m gonna start again” that pretty much summarises alcoholism. “You’ll never understand me yet” such an outsider anthem, incredibly powerful and beautiful song.
This song changed my life. It still pulses through my blood. One of those "which side of the fence are you on?" songs.
absolutely changed my life. a friend said to me recently what was your musical moment>>>>>my god< drugs help >>>> but Jesus and Mary chain.........you have no idea.....they. were just off the Richter...a taste of Cindy

Absolutely correct. Some were repulsed by this song, some immediately wanted more. I wanted more.
How can they be so chill and punk rock at the same time?

Too cool to ‘rock out’ or care

I worked in a music store in Glasgow and sold them a fuzz-wah in 1985, I think. The week they first appeared on the cover of the NME. Nice boys.
That's so cool!

I'd argue that Cocteau Twins were the beginning of Shoegaze but I'm sure they were bouncing inspiration off one another.

exactly
Every band that ever appears on you tube, is THE most underrated of all time! The Jesus and Mary Chain were NEVER underrated!
This litterally changed my life!
proof that you don't need to be a musical genius to produce appreciable art.
I remember buying this record in 1986. I was a young punk but looking for meaning. This came along and it changed my whole world. never looked back.
When it first came out I thought that this song was about a tangled dark hidden inner emotional life, but decades later I now finally understand that it's simply about the Scottish accent.

Never gets old
Makes me proud to be Scottish 🏴
Willie Reid stands behind no one in guitar rock history. Earth shattering and untouchable.
Pure beauty over absolute noise, brilliance.
Except it was done by the Velvet Underground in 1968, and with actual lyrics. This is shit.
A beautiful noise. Excellent stuff. The soundtrack of my favorite years.
Absolutely stoked to find a pristine 12" of this at my local record store this arvo . Cranked it up big time when I got it home.
Brill band, saw them 3 times in the late 80s, early 90s. Reminds me of good times, when my life was good, and my goth era

The sexy noise was debt just by the vintage Shin-ei fuzz wah pedal, locked in the maximum fuzz position, plus the coupling interferences they got pointing the semihollow Gretsch to the amp. That was all, nothing else. Saludos desde España.
I was such a fan in the early 90s 🤩
this band was sucha huge inspiration to lots of contemporary bands i love today ^_^

Now THAT sounds like a good show!!!
I was 25 in 1985. Luckily, we had a record shop that had new issues of the NME. Heard the buzz and Bought this 12", got in late and put in on the turntable. My mate, fast asleep, comes bolting out of his room. Perhaps the reason now why my hearing ain't too well. This and the fact that back in the day we did not wear ear pieces likes these f888 do now. If you were in a band... I was. We had monitors on stage to be able to hear the parts.
i love the vocals it sound so ghostly
