GREG KIHN BAND The Break Up Song

YAY.... AND 'The Break Up Song' after 6 am on Sunday morning on rage as well *

Re: GREG KIHN BAND The Break Up Song

Number 1 in my picks for Saturday night!

Re: GREG KIHN BAND The Break Up Song

It's funny, I thought this song was by Billy Idol for the longest time... (the 'oh-oh-oh' bits sound like him, I think).

Pity there's no concept video with the studio version of the track, but still great to see this on rage.

Re: GREG KIHN BAND The Break Up Song

I thought Billy Joel did 'The Longest Time'!?!?!
Remember how people thought Billy sung 'Don't You Forget About Me' when it was realeased by Simple Minds in '85? I don't think it sounds anything like Billy! anyway and then 20 or so years later Billy records a version of it.

Nathan, obviously you didn't have '1982 In The Sun' to dispel your thoughts.

Re: GREG KIHN BAND The Break Up Song

I didn't get to see it as I already have the official video with all the rest of his on a DVD.

But which version did Rage show? I also have the Solid Gold version as well

Thankyou very much Brett. Yep definitely the same one, but I don't have the black bars.

Er, he does, right? I thought Billy *Idol*, not Joel, did 'The Break Up Song'.

'Official video' - is there a studio/concept video for 'The Break Up Song'?

Re: GREG KIHN BAND The Break Up Song

Nathan, I think you didn't get my joke. You thought Billy Idol had sung 'The Breakup Song' for 'The Longest Time' (Billy Joel)

Sorry Nathan, no studio or concept clip was ever done for this particular song. I don't know why because it would have been great.

I said official because I got about 10 of his videos on a DVD from Greg himself. They are all good quality but NTSC as he lives in America. The clip he has given me is the same as the ABC one by the looks of things.

Re: GREG KIHN BAND The Break Up Song

^ Lee, I've finally got a program that does NTSC to PAL conversions without causing 'jitter' due to the altered frame rate... although it doesn't get rid of the dull NTSC colours.
