These guys are Legend! with all the tools we have today no one can make music like it was made in the 70s,80s..these guys had to endure trying to make it in the business competing with many many great bands, jamming in the garage or anywhere is still the best receipt to create great music, original sounds,etc. God bless The B-52`s , one of the greatest of all time and I`m so greatfull to have grown up around that time.
if you would have told me in 1978 when i first heard them that 46 years later i'd still be listening, i would have said you're crazy. so weird became so fun so fast. decades of joy.
I saw them at the Bayou club in D.C. in 1979. We all knew we were listening to the the real deal-so much fun! At the break, Fred came up to me and asked me where I got the bowling shirt I was wearing. I gave them a list of local thrift stores. They invited me and my friends to a round of beers. Thanks again!!
20 years ago my girlfriend told me sadly that Fred was dead…! I had thoughts for him several times BUT today is a special resurrection day as I notice he is still with us. so happy!!!!! Come to Paris 🙏
@familycardcollectors6519 Ricky Wilson died on 12 October 1985. The B52s took 2 years off and returned in 1988 with the LP Bouncing Off Satellites, then Cosmic Thing in 1989. Love Shack went to No 1 in November 1989. Good Stuff in 1992 Ricky Wilson's death was not the end of the band.
I recall when I first heard Rock Lobster on the radio I was like instantly drawn into the new wave…I’m still surfing along at 67 years old still glad I got to experience all the bands of the 70s and 80s ❤ B52s saved every party I ever had!
First time I heard from the B-52’s was in 1983 after a concert in Athens,I scored a t-shirt and a 45,wish that I stilled have them but I will always love the 52’s!!!
That quick video in the old television!!....I was there at that show at The Great Southeastern Music Hall...it was about a week or two after the Sex Pistols and it was a Punk Rock Festival....the band had all their art school friends there dancing....probably about 20 to 30 people there tops...I was a Student at GA Tech at the time....they opened with Planet Claire and Fred played a toy piano....I thought they were quirky weird and fun!....totally original with a stripped down sound.
Seminole Ave band House for the 'Fans'! B-52' s truly amazing group. I was just 15. Russell KING the drummer, the love of my life. Anyway, The Fans FINALLY got a shot to make a record in NYC. BEGGING FOR A RIDE ALONG PROMISE THEY will never know😭☺️😊😊😂😂🤣
its great ! it was written in the stars you all would met eachotter with 1 common goal..... making music together and became a big band in the 80ties and 90ties AND still afther all those years youre all remained a bunch of good friends. While a lot of music groups splitted up afther a few hits .... B52's FOR ever !
NO THEY DIDN'T, THE BEEHIVE HAIRDOO WAS POPULAR BACK IN THE 50S 60S, SO ASK YER SELF WHERE DID THE B52S GET THAT STYLE FROM? THEY SURE AS HELL DIDN'T CREATE IT.
Recorded the first album with no reverbs or anything? Interesting. I’d say that’s how they got known because their sound didn’t need a lot of work to sound good.
They belong in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame...it's ridiculous that they aren't.
The ( ((Rock and Roll Hall of Fame)) ) doesn't mean SH*T!!! Only superficial ppl care about that bullsh*t.
Lost the Grammy win to Linda Ronstadt 🧐 after just rebounding from losing their founder to AIDS. Grammys are hopeless. RRHOF needs Devo and B52s. 🫤
FK the rocknroll hall of fame 👎🏼👎🏼. True fans and lovers of music knows that whole thing is complete BS.
@@martymcflyer8487 No it doesn't. Devo and B52's are just fine w/out it.

As vidéo killed the vidéo stars,marketing killed Music…
B52s are my spirit animal

You are correct sir/ 1978 you win ....what state?
They're all so lucky to have met each other.
Wonderful band and still looking great
Wild Planet is brilliant

"Good Stuff" was my favorite!
Cindy is gorgeous,,,and probably a space alien😂
Those eyes...

Ricky the founding member and guitarist died sadly and was the end of the B-52's

They are all really lovely people and it's clear they really like each other
Kate you are awesome

Seem like a real nice bunch as well as being the coolest and most exciting band ever.
This Act was brilliantly conceived!
RIP Ricky, goat

The ones who saw them life are lucky guys !😀
I LOVE THE B-52’s!
Thank you for sharing this fantastic video.
This Gang is up there with Rush. Doing what they want.
And refusing to not have fun with thier craft.

ça représente bcp de travail de garder le sourire. Longue vie au B52'S ma jeunesse en vinyle .
I never was a real big 52 fan but I ve grown to love them since playing their stuff
One of the greatest bands period of any era or music type!
Planet Claire has pink air
All the trees are red
Nobody ever dies there
Nobody has a head
They seem like genuine nice people im glad they were successful
Gogos and b 52 s ...my favorite
The B&E strings were both tuned to B.
Loved learning more about one of my favorite bands ever!
First time I saw the band was at the Lubbock coliseum. One of the best concerts I've attended. Great fun!
Kate is still a cutie 😊
This interview must be at least 10 years ago, because she's 75 now.
The ultimate party band. I love these women ❤

AND still afther all those years youre all remained a bunch of good friends. While a lot of music groups splitted up afther a few hits ....
B52's FOR ever !
Only in retrospect can it be told.
When we’re living it , we’re sliding all over the place.
Love love the ,b 52 s....
"Where's your icebox?"
Love Fred
Love this band. Lyrics to think to, and beats to dance to. So was Ricky the drummer?
My brothers who are 12 years older than me saw them in Birmingham uk in the early 90s im jealous 😫
If that was at Aston Villa leisure centre supported by Dodgy, I was there. B52s were absolutely brilliant, glad I got to see them.
Love
Astralwerks!?!? Amazing!!!
I don't have a favorite member prob Kate I guess but Ricky was absolutely incredible, RIP
Thier punk years are bat shit insane
When will they finally be in the RRHF? It's a travesty that they aren't there.
These two ladies made the beehive hair style a thing!
NO THEY DIDN'T, THE BEEHIVE HAIRDOO WAS POPULAR BACK IN THE 50S 60S, SO ASK YER SELF WHERE DID THE B52S GET THAT STYLE FROM? THEY SURE AS HELL DIDN'T CREATE IT.
