Ohio in da house 2024!

15 May 2024

Word!

You’re giving the singers of today too much credit. I took a 💩 after a big meal today, and that had more talent!

They don't make talent like this anymore

I’m a big Robert Plamer fan

@@bodbn nope, and the young people eat it up smh

Absolutely! The album aged well. Each member of the band contributed big-time!

Makes you realise how restrained he was in Duran Duran, Murderess really shows his talents though. Powerstation, really was a super group.

So did John Taylor,also from Duran Duran

​@@samsims4020yeah, John's solo is short, but perfectly funky

This song contains arguably Andy's best guitar solo ever. How this song wasn't a bigger hit than "some like it hot" is beyond my comprehension

Those drums!

The Power Station was also the name of the studio...that's where the name came from...

Wow, I totally agree with you! The Power Station really does live up to its name. Speaking of power, have you checked out the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series? It's perfect for outdoor enthusiasts like us. With its massive capacity, waterproof design, and fast recharging, it's a reliable backup power solution for our camping trips. Highly recommended!

I agree! A really original, distinctive sound!@@RommelsAsparagus

@@RommelsAsparagus That's what really stood out about them. They beat the crap out of those drums.

Tdo é incrivel nesse clipe:💖Vocalista,integrantes,a moça...👏👏👏👏👏

Indeed! The bass was dubbed with both John Taylor and Bernard Edwards and sounded awesome with Tony Thompson's drums. This album made me want to play drums when I was a kid!

100% CORRECT BIG GUY!

Tony Thompson punted the f@#k out of those skins on a level like John Bonham did for Led Zeppelin

So was drummer Tony Thompson.

Is this the original or was it by T Rex? It doesn't matter has Robert Palmer vocals.

The original was by T Rex.

It’s worth being older now, to have been young then.

That's true, the 80s had a unique energy in music! Speaking of power, have you heard about the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series? It's a versatile power backup solution with a massive capacity, fast recharging, and a waterproof design. Perfect for outdoor adventures or ensuring uninterrupted power during family time. Check it out!

That's the truth especially during MTV early time era :)

😂😂😂

I love that

Oh no he was a Babe. Ask the women.

How bout that drummer though!? That guy is fuckin off the chain!!

😂 right on!

I wouldn't mind living in your neighborhood! I could listen to them all the time!

@@JenX_1973 I'll forward you some property that's up for sale

I don't always listen to Power Station but when I do I bang a gong

@@blackthrne6976 Sounds good to me!

It's crazy that Tony, Andy, and Roger put together the group originally as a backing band for other famous singers at the time and Liv Tyler's mom was supposed to sing this. Robert Palmer came in to sing lead on a different song, and found out they recorded this and asked if he could just do a demo vocal over their recording. The rest of the group loved it so much they decided to use Palmer as the vocalist for the whole album 🤘

Still got our notts tickets for said mr Palmer , , wait for it £4 each , , 😂quite a few years ago , One of the best gigs , and we’ve been to a few ! RIP Robert

Yes

Wow, would have loved to see him. Listening to his Don't Explain album. The old crooning ballads drip with yearning and romance...my girl loved it back in the day...and I still do.

When I was 17 (1985), my goal in life was to be Robert Palmer!

I had the honor of seeing Robert Palmer live in concert back when he was promoting the Addicted to Love song...unfortunately the gals from the video were not touring with him

I was 36 when this came out...and at 72, I’m still listening and loving it.

I was 20 when this song was released, now I am 56. Still love this song and Robert Palmer. God had other plans for you,

Life was just starting to pick up...

Yuppa.... 2 more years til graduation for me,,,then.

It sure was I was 15 😎👍

We're going to lose Andy Taylor soon. Inoperable Stage 4 Prostrate cancer. He was unable to receive his R&R Hall of Fame Award because of his health. But he is living his last days to the fullest. God speed Andy. Lemmy Kilmister had the same affliction and death. In Andy's name, Please donate to the Prostate Cancer Foundation.

And JT is kicking ass with that bass line!!!

​@davidg.9932 That... and miracles 🙏🏽

Andy is now coming back strong thanks to recent miracle, targeted therapies. Check out the most recent updates. It’s fantastic news. He was basically on death’s doorstep a year ago. Now he’s making plans. 🙏🙏

OMG, the drums 🥁 on this track are spectacular 😅😂🎉

Tony Thompson was a MONSTER drummer!!! He’s so missed!!!!

​@@emb2302Yes. He was in the band called Chic. Their biggest hit was "Le Freak". Check it out.

That drummer absolutely kills it! I couldn't agree more! By the way, have you heard about Segway's Portable PowerStation Cube Series? It's a versatile powerhouse that can keep your devices and appliances running for extended periods during your outdoor adventures. Check it out if you're looking for reliable power backup solutions!

He’s Le Freak

And he is now playing in Reef, another great band !

This is a studio track. Highly doubt they played this together from beginning to end in the studio. This certainly isn't a live recording. You have to give more credit to the sound engineers and producers. I'm sure Nile Rogers and Bernard Edwards had a hand in this. Edward's bass lick as well.

@@bcmteacher Are you on drugs. The comment was, Andy Taylor ROCKS on the Power Station as opposed to when he played for Duran Duran.................beginning to end in studio,...............isn't live recording,.....blah, blah, blah. Seriously recommend getting a hobby or just leave positive feedback. geeeezzzz

@@DavidGarcia-yv1fp Well... In my opinion, they aren't so great musicians in the grand scheme of things. You have to thank Bernard Edwards and Nile Rodgers for piecing together a killer production. Where would the Beatles be without George Martin or Phil spector?

@@bcmteacher "Power Station finally gave him the opportunity to let loose".......... "Well... In my opinion, they aren't so great musicians in the grand scheme of things"..... "Where would the Beatles be without George Martin" If I'm hearing you correctly D.K, please correct me if I'm wrong here. So,....(The Power Station) without killer production, would be just another Duran Duran?

🤣

Oh baby, I was obsessed. He was amazing in concert. I was close enough to touch his handmade Italian shoes, lol.

💯

Great comment

It could be released today and nobody would be the wiser

Gritty as hell...spot on!!!

Fucking tight indeed. You nailed it.

@Becky P And the 12" remixes of each are even MORE awesome! Check 'em out!!

How true

👏👏👏👏😉👍

😎

Wow, what a spot on analysis. Definitely agree! Oh, and "thumbs up" number 58 is from me, mobody else. Don't let anyone else claim it. It's from me.

I was a kid then and when you heard it come on the radio and you liked it it didnt matter appearance you are spot on i like your take

Andy Taylor is an underrated guitarist

Creio que esta guitar ainda toca na sua mente até nos dias atuais.

And Sheriff.

No fall back fellas don't forget about the bass player

jefft68022 hours ago As a TRUE Metal Head in the 80's, you certainly haven't listened to too many good Heavy Metal guitar players have you, because the lead section in this song ain't shit. The lead Kinda sucks from a technical standpoint with all due respect to the late Robert Palmer who was great! If I'm not mistaken, Randy Rhodes from Ozzie, Dave Murray & Adrian Smith from Iron Maiden, and Eddie Van Halen were at the VERY TOP of the food chain as far as Heavy Metal guitar players go from that Era!!! The lead guitar section for this song as well as the guy who played it are not even a pimple on the ass of some of the best Heavy Metal guitar players in the world like those that I just mentioned. Not even remotely close.

Yes. Gone way too soon.

Yup, so soulful

WTF. Yeah, whatever.

Heart attack at age 54. Smoking, eating and boozing too much. Such a shame. Great artist, cooler than Ferry.

Agreed. Loved his music growing up

Amen! Andy kicks ass!

have loved him for over 30 years

Andy has been my boyfriend since I was 14 years old. His sexy, edgy and dirty guitar riffs so do it for me.

You're damm skippy

Thunder one of my favorite albums.

love power station, The whole group.

Hell yeah!! Happy New Years!!!🥳🥳🥳🥳

2022 Targ, get with the times. 😃

2022!

Still listening in 2022!

Amen they are missed

❤️

Amen🙏

Yes indeed. I miss both Tony Thompson and Robert Palmer!!

boy rock stars dont live long

Yes as much as i love the original this is a worthy rival

Hell yeah

Grew up with the original, this version is better IMO

@@markabendroth1774 It's the beginning which really revs me up. That "Hoo! Hoo!" thing. The original didn't have that.

The only one that matters

"Chic" Great drummer

It does destroy;;;! Two white kids 1Old white man..... DRUM GOD!! GOOD BAND! x

Damn

He was amazing!

⁰b

Rock how it was intended to be. Not suited for millenias

@@southernbird4071 ?

For real! He was killing those drums!!🥁🥁🥁

Hits the drums harder but gets a fantastic beat and rhythm.

He is brilliant on the Lets Dance / Bowie album too ! RIP Tony Thompson

Suprisingly Nick Rhodes of Duran Duran HATED this Power Station Project "It was Too Loud!" 😳

@@solo1013 That's why he was in Arcadia.

Arcadia was Amazing.........but Power Station till this very DAY has a stronger lasting Powerful Sound amongst all it's tracks and they did release a follow up album before both Robert & Tony passed Away! Sounds like Nick Rhodes was throwing shade was The Taylors side project was far more better than Arcadia's 1 Album!😒

@@solo1013 Jealousy maybe?

I totally agree... Power Station made me realize what amazing players they ALL were!

I did

You are getting a lot of run out of this comment.

​@@michaelkearney3648 😂😂

Right on 😂😂

+Jar McNally you mean in your opinion... he wasn't the best

i said in my time and i meant he was my favorite.

Jar McNally my time means my generation, an era...and you said he was the best.

+Jar McNally He was also capable of softer groove, he is the drummer on Sheila B. Devotion's Spacer :)

+Jar McNally He could have given Benny "Papa Zita" Benjamin Motown Funk Brother a run for his Money. How come Andy Taylor didn't rejoin Duran Duran.

Yep respect with this version, they certainly did their own take on it, and it worked out so well.

@Becky Loy yes, he could have punched it up a bit more. Not his style I guess. Marc was more sensual in his delivery

Agreed

Except it blows.

Exactly. "A whole new song."

He's ONE 🔥 HOT man! Always💋💋💋

I was straight in love with that lanky bastard

@@RubySlippers1100 mmmsí... Se ve bellísimo como sea y como siempre!

Oh Lord i loved john taylor- he was my favorite from duran duran 😍😍😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️

I would've like to see John in this video more.

Totally killer bass player.

@@mcclane8812 The bass master!

Both the guitar players and that drummer are top notch S-tier. Superior. Put in Palmer and it's great its better than Eric Burden fronting War.

I hear a lot of Chris Squire influence in his playing, and I really liked Squire's playing.

Duran Duran lovers will tell you that none of the Taylors are related...lol.

I loaded this shit up on Spotify yesterday along with a few Duran Duran tunes sprinkled in some Arcadia as well

Same. Their second album was pretty good too.

A perfect storm of musicians and singer that was quite unique, even in the whirlwind decade of the 1980's... Brilliant!

I met Palmer in 85? He was extraordinary nice, think of the coolest dude you ever met a x 2.

Truth.

There is only one of a kind of anyone silly

Robert Palmer's dead?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Palmer_(singer)

Great musician's. Mr. Robert was the classiest rocker ever!

Sadly, Andy Taykot is very ill.

Mr. Suave

Absolutely!!!

Hell yeah

The best of the 80's

....cant get the volume up high enough!

The one and only late Tony Thompson... He has the ultimate 80's rock beat

It would have been great to see him with Led Zepplin as was planned before his car accident ended that opportunity. Loved what he did for Bowie on the Let's Dance album as well.. RIP Tony your talent is missed..

Stuart Richards tony Thompson

F yes!!

CL Louis He was supposed to drum for Zepplin!? that would have been so cool

i quite love the energy

me to

Sheels1976 I can't remember the 80's therefore they didn't happen it is written so be it.

80's fucking awesome

Term Arnold ...FOR REAL!!!...

ok

Most if not all his bass licks with Duran Duran were brilliant.

You need to hear the baseline to Rio and realize he didn’t need Powerstation to show how good he was.

you're joking. He was amazing since the beginning of Duran Duran in 1981 and he is still now so great

Shit I knew that the first time I heard "Rio".

He doesn't get too much of a mention in Nile Rodgers book, which is a same as thought two and Bernard Edward's were the tightest motherfuckers out there. This is also excellent.

That was Tony Thompson for sure m

@@navblue20 The late Tony Thompson played like that naturally and was a big fan of John Bonham. That's why he was chosen to play with Page and Plant at Live Aid. Sad that both Robert Palmer and Tony Thompson have passed away.

As an 80s kid and a drummer, Tony Thompson was who I wanted to play like, sound like, look like. But I could never be that cool. And I’m too white! He will always be my all time favorite drummer. God rest his beloved soul.

@@endcensorship874 I too was an 80's kid. I was blessed to have met him a few times. When Chic hit it big, Tony Thompson was young. I think he was the age of my sister who was 20 at the time. I was 10 when she and I met C hic. Have many records he played on like Diana Ross, Sister Sledge, David Bowie's Serious Moonlight Tour, Madonna's Like A Virgin sessions and the above mentioned Power Station just to name a few. I saw The Power Station 4 times on that tour. Each time zone had a different opening act. The last time was a Live Aid in Philadelphia. My girlfriend and I were backstage serving drinks. She was 18 and was serving alcohol I was 17 and serving soft drinks. I saw Thompson's two performances. The Page/ Plant performance was on point. I'm a big fan of Phil Collins, but that wasn't one of his best performances. He was a last minute addition and was not quite ready. Thompson was chosen by Page and Plant because he knew the drum parts verbatim. Sadly kidney disease took him at 47 or 48. It was discovered too late. I I myself was struck with kidney disease at 48, but I was fortunate. I recieved my kidney last year, after battling for 5 years. Tony Thompson had so much music to offer. Gone way too soon!

@@seanswinton6242 Thanks for sharing such an awesome story! That sounds like an epic time. Glad you are doing well, and yes... Tony was gone too soon. Never got his due, except among those who knew about him. Glad you got to meet him. Take care, my brother whom I have never met!

Danny Crout yes. I remember them. Robert Palmer and Tony Thompson were class acts. Damn tight drummer.

Avatarblackwolf exactly!! Loved MTV!😎

Me too!

damn right mtv isint the same it sucks now all they have is crappy reality shows and that keeping up with the kardasian crap on tv as well cant stand that stuff 90s turned mtv to shit when real world got introduced i heard vh1 is headed the same way to they need to bring the real mtv back if they had a time machine id hop on it and go back to that decade

John is fighting

​@@Shawn-1971no, that's Andy fighting against prostatic cancer.

Great cover. Liked it better than the original. whole album was very good.

I like parts of it, but the mix is a little scattered, as is the arrangement. I definitely come back to it every time I listen to the original also.

fucking great awesome song. Best cover ever! Palmer's vocals sell it big time. The drummer and guitar work demonstrate how Rock and Roll is supposed to sound

u do knw this a remake of a 60's song,, Bang a gong by T-rex,,,, Mar brolin, yes he is Josh brolin, the actor's dad,

Andy Taylor (clapping 1000x's over). Gotta blast this song to get the full effect

Damn right that drummer was badass! That's Mr. Tony Thompson, son. One of rock's all-time best drummers.

That poor hi-hat😂that groove was deep and heavy! Badass

everything now is auto tuned....

He was the frontrunner to take the place of John Bonham when Zeppelin were looking into getting back together in the mid-80's but Tony was in a bad car accident and the reunion stalled, mostly because of that.

Robert Palmer and Tony Thompson RIP.

Lorne Armstrong - 222830 - Well, whatever your point was, Thompson was a complete 'Animal' behind the kit. Whether or not someone can play in odd time signatures has absolutely nothing to do with talent.

He was next to Benny "Papa Zita" Benjamin Motown Funk Brother one of the best unknown in the Business. Benny played Drums on Going To A Go Go. Unfortunately , he along with Bassist James Jamerson died of Alcoholism.

there wasn't one weak link in this chain all beast mode for these power house players !~!

Thank you for your comment! I completely agree with you that each member of The Power Station brings something unique to the song, just like how the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series offers versatile power solutions for outdoor enthusiasts. It's great to hear that you never get tired of the song, and I believe you'll have a similar experience with the reliable and powerful Cube Series from Segway. It's definitely worth considering for your outdoor adventures and home backup power needs. Happy camping!

Bernard was a beast on the bass.. I miss the 70's and Chic

I agree.

He already had a successful solo career!

Unfortunately, The Power Station was going to be short-lived anyway because both Andy and John were going back to Duran Duran anyway... And Tony Thompson was going back the be the drummer for David Bowie.

@@matthewmolkentin6230 I don't know about that. If they had toured with that original lineup and were to be very successful, I don't think go go back so fast to their former groups.
