An appropriate upload to mark the sad passing of the founder of The Glitter Band- John Rossall,what a loss to the music world,he left behind a great legacy
This brings back memories. I was in 4th form in high school in 1974 and loved the Glitter Band. Their sound was amazing. I still love their songs. Unfortunately I also loved Gary Glitter too. Till his sick and sordid private life was revealed. While I detest Glitter for what he did I still love his music. It was a big part of my teenage years at age 15/16.
"Wow", incredible version !! Like the enormous Reverb by their voices and the handclapping - Background ..Further the very special guitar sounds and of course. the Saxophones and the double drums....perfect Glamrock- Hit 👍 🎤 🎸🎸🎷🎷 🥁🥁 ❤
Garry F: I happened to meet a friend in town who told me John had died. I just burst into tears. It's heartbreaking for me to see these irreplaceable musicians leave. John Rossall Thank you for The Music. Rest In Peace. Kate 😢😢💕💕
Lily bless you, i totally agree with you, and like you i detest the bloke but i love the music i grew up with this 14 at the time, brilliant sound from a brilliant group, happy memories and PS Lily is my daughter's name❤
Loved this group had a blue glitter drum kit used to put my mum and dads heads away blasting there records thinking I was one of the the band members what great memories
the band with drummers whom gave birth to Killing Jokes’ beat . KJ ( their song Tension & its rhythm might be familiar) went on to inspire everyone from Metallica to Adam & The Ants & many more. I remember the moment that Radio Luxembourg released the news that John had quit. i had recently or was about to be given Hey! as an xmas present . My older brother & me were sad cos we thought the band was breaking up . He was into Sparks but still concerned bless him .
Saw them live in hull. My ears were ringing for days afterwards. Awesome. Wasn't much into glam rock at the time, tamla and northern soul my music, but appreciate it more now looking back.
No doubt in my mind Gerry Shepard had a way better voice than Gary Glitter,I just don't get why they were 'shackled' with him,he was a minger,even back in the day!!
There were and still are hundreds of bands/artists who use 2 drummers - The Glitter Band GG were probably the most famous of the glam acts to use 2 drummers,but Wizzard and Showaddywaddy used 2 drummers,as did T.Rex at one stage.
@@andymatthews7617 Here in New Zealand,The Glitter Band still gets a play on the radio,just a matter of what station you manage to catch,and just this very week,driving to work I heard GG with "I Love You Love Me Love",something I never thought I would hear on radio again. His music still gets played at sporting events around the country,and is still used as incidental music on TV sports shows here.
@@andymatthews7617 it's really only the UK that has that stigma about GGs music,and it's unfortunate for his UK fans,but the UK press will never let it go,he was the scapegoat for them,and took the brunt of a major witch hunt,but at the end of the day,it should be about the music - Michael Jackson still gets his music played,as do many other artists alleged of the same wrong doing.
Love the Glitter Band sound.. love the double drummers! Fabulous
The sax ain’t too bad either 😊
Me too...Loved the double sound
Why I'm here such a distinct sound

Totally agree Rob. John was always great live, and seemed a very nice man. A sad loss to music 🎶

@@j.4332 and Harvey
Yep!
Memories of tech school in the 70s
We were lucky to have lived through these times.
BEST TIMES, EVER.
Yes we were lucky indeed!
@@carolebarker2195yes you were Lucky.🎉🎉🎉
@@hrvojeknez9584 Some of it was tough being a teenager in the 1970s, but the music was great !!
"Angel Face" was the Glitter Band's best song!
Your possibly correct
But my favourite is "Love in the sun" 🌞
Yep.

"Wow", incredible version !! Like the enormous Reverb by their voices and the handclapping - Background ..Further the very special guitar sounds and of course. the Saxophones and the double drums....perfect Glamrock- Hit 👍 🎤 🎸🎸🎷🎷 🥁🥁 ❤
It sounds like Mike Leander had a lot to do with the production of these tracks too.
@@tezzrterry7485 Yes i know, thank you !!
Tight full sound, top production. They were ahead of their time.
I love those signature claps 👏🏼
Gerry Shephard was my hero growing up in the 70s. Even built a ( really bad) star guitar!
😂
THEY WERE A GOOD BAND BACK IN THE DAY LOVE THE DRUMS
How I love this classic song the glitter band were iconic in their own right😁🏌🎶🎶🎶🎶
Shame they struggled to lose the shadow of their front man.
The greatest glam rock bands ever

Rip john ŕossall
Only just discovered The Glitter Band thanks to my sister...love them!!
Just been listening to Duran Duran's 'Planet Earth' and wondered where I had heard that beat before. LOL.
Their finest hour
The Glitter Band had two drummers. Yes Kids, TWO drummers.
Absolutely loved Peter Phipps, thought he was so cool with his bleached bits at the end of his hair and a underrated drummer too.
Pete Gill later played in Motorhead.
My Boyhood Heroes, this band got me into drums way back in the 70's
Loved it back then love it now - great song
I loved the Glitter Band my favourite is John
Still in my vinyl collection!
Great band great memories. So glad to be growing up then.Gerry was superb. And 2 drummers.just unique.
Wow thank you so much for this Garry, much appreciated.
Zawsze do nich wracam ❤❤❤❤👊👊👊👍👍👍
School Days The Best Times ✌️💯
Lata 70- te magia glam rocka !
The glitter band have an angel face😊😊😊😊😊😊
loved them
SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD SONG
Cara de angel
Listening in JUNE 2022
Love this song ❤❤
The Glitterband with the exception of John Rossall continued to be friends with Gary Glitter right up until 1999.
Just been listening to Uprising by MUSE and wondered where I heard that beat and the repeated 'Hey' chants before. LOL.
I know exactly what you mean
Fuckin' Rock on! 😎
Make me remember my first real girlfriend and how i used to sing it too her
the band with drummers whom gave birth to Killing Jokes’ beat . KJ ( their song Tension & its rhythm might be familiar) went on to inspire everyone from Metallica to Adam & The Ants & many more.
I remember the moment that Radio Luxembourg released the news that John had quit. i had recently or was about to be given Hey! as an xmas present . My older brother & me were sad cos we thought the band was breaking up . He was into Sparks but still concerned bless him .
Check out the cover by Ireland's OUTCASTS (1982)...
Ostin tämän bändin kasetin 70:luvulla ja yllätyin kuinka heidän musiikki olikin parempaa kuin ..en sano kenen kanssa:-))
Love it. Is this an early version? seems a bit slower! Rock On!
It's the original 7" mix,which differs slightly from the more common album version,which also had the pitch (speed) adjusted
🥳💃👍❤💐
You can't beat two drummers in a group, copied by Adam & the Ants a few years later...
Allman Brothers did it first Phil Collins also did it successfully too - sounds huge still
The Doobie Bros
@@anthem7777 James Brown did it too
Saw them live in hull. My ears were ringing for days afterwards. Awesome. Wasn't much into glam rock at the time, tamla and northern soul my music, but appreciate it more now looking back.
Wizzard too
No doubt in my mind Gerry Shepard had a way better voice than Gary Glitter,I just don't get why they were 'shackled' with him,he was a minger,even back in the day!!
it was all about the image not the talent - even worse now
Probably they served as an inspiration for Adam and the Ants. Sure
Face ofanangel
Gary glitter would of been nothing with out this band behind him . Used to love em but not mr glitter
I no Pete to this day Gary was set upppp
Great band glad they went separate from he who can't be named.
Adam and the glitters
A.C.E.
Were the Glitter Band the only ones to have two drummers?
There were and still are hundreds of bands/artists who use 2 drummers - The Glitter Band GG were probably the most famous of the glam acts to use 2 drummers,but Wizzard and Showaddywaddy used 2 drummers,as did T.Rex at one stage.
Adam and the ants also had 2 drummers.
GARY HAD IT ALL AND BLEW IT, THE GLITTER BAND WERE DISGRACEFULLY DRAGGED INTO THE SAME BASKET, BUT WERE TOTALLY INNOCENT.
Could I possibly email you?
A shame that one bad apple spoilt the bunch.
Disgraceful radio stations wont play their music, tarnished by a certain gg.

That's true, but dj's should see a bigger picture, and the general public to.

@@robhaunui3343 you summed it up perfectly, thankyou for your comment.
T.REX Sevent Dav Adventists?
Who has the most hairspray on? Lol
Much prefer the Shock version in 1981

Very sexist…’Who knows how long your looks will last.’ Good stuff, however.
