one of the greatest post-punk songs from an underrated band.

John mcgeoch , what a guitar player he was  ! Superb ! Rip john

Nothing says punk when you're rocking a pink sweater while on an electric guitar. John McGeoch RIP!

Such a simple song that pulses along throughout with a mostly one note bass riff.  But brilliant in that simplicity. Absolutely timeless.

John McGeoch was something else, seeing Magazine in 1978 was superb, one of the great bands of all time for me.

McGeoch is a genius. You can see his style beginning to develop here.

John McGeogh wearing a jumper his mum knitted for him. That's punk.

John McGeoch, guitar, born 25th August, today as I write. Your music lives on Mr.McGeoch.

This band should have been huge. So many great songs and outstanding musicianship.

I loved them then as much as I love them now, 45 years later, shout out to you all band members. You are creatures of the light and you created a light in all of us .bless  you

McGeoch was a Prodigy

Magazine, Wire, Gang of Four, Bauhaus, Skinny Puppy, Severed Heads, The Replacements, Yellow Magic Orchestra, Cabaret Voltaire, Kraftwerk, Einstürzende Neubauten, Buzzcocks, Ministry, Ultravox, Talking Heads, OMD, Bowie,  Clan of Xymox, Hüsker Dü, Depeche Mode, KMFDM, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Human League, Public Image Ltd, The Chameleons, Japan, Simple Minds, Front 242, The Stranglers, Cocteau Twins, Dead Can Dance, The Fall, Devo... So much good 70's - 80's music.

McGeoch's fashion/hair style are still fashionable today.

Can we have a tour please in  2023 x

when I saw magazine perform this in 1977 I was 17and it was as near to a religious experience as I've ever had. . . . . it was like. .  "What just happened" . .

2024 anyone? ❤ it’s so strange that bands such as the amazing Magazine didn’t achieve more commercial success. Ahead of their time, perhaps? I reckon if their work had been release five years later or even during the 90s with the explosion of the Manics, etc, they’d have been more successful commercially. There’s more to the art of making great music than simply aiming to sell units though. They were brilliant, we all know it! That’s what counts. They were true to themselves. Along with the likes of Ultravox at the same period, actually a not dissimilar sound to Magazine, they couldn’t break through either.
Brilliant stuff, and does anyone find it a lot of fun to think, that us listening in 2024 to a band from 1978 is awesome? It’s like….back in ‘78, people listening to music from the early 1930s! Time has moved on so quickly, but the thing is, great songs and bands will be appreciated forever, I think. Forever. Yes….forever. We salute you, Magazine. ❤

One of the tightest bands of the post-punk era, amazing talent and so underrated

McGeoch played the guitar making it sound like a wild animal begging to be released! ❤

Edgy, menacing and strangely seductive. Genius.

When the guy from television died, I mourned magazine guy. Long live post punk publication bands
