Loved the Tubes (back in the day) and thanks to this song we were known as the 'White Dopes on Punk'

What a song and what a stage act. Nice.

[Stacker]

Yeah, I heard that they were on the road again. Never seen 'em live.

Awesome Nina Hagen clip.

Has the bassist really got a Jazz pickup for each string on his P-Bass?

[dave_bass5]

I wonder what a Nina Hagen and Bjork duet would sound like

Saw The Tubes in Southampton in 1980 or 81 - great show.

The Tubes are a great band - "Remote Control" is one of my all-time favourite albums.

Thanks for this, I'd totally forgotten about the Tubes! 'White Punks On Dope' was, and is, brilliant.

So _that_'s why the Rutles used that title! I naively thought they'd made it up.
