Brett VargoHOST
And they're always heavily slanted towards that initial art punk blast from the late 70s.
Brett VargoHOST
Ramones, Blondie, Television, Patti Smith, Talking Heads, etc., or hip-hop in the 90s like Nas, Biggie, Wu-Tang, Jay-Z, or even going into the 2000s with the great indie rock scene that was there with the Strokes and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Interpol.
Brett VargoHOST
But the 80s was the decade.
Brett VargoHOST
that provided the crucial bridge.
JackHOST
Sister and Coppia prepared for Hollywood in his new room before he, the ghouls, Sister, Neil's ghost, and the corpses of the other Papas were shipped out for the Impera tour.
JackHOST
To celebrate the beginning of this tour, Coppia made a short little EP of five cover songs, See No Evil by Television, Jesus He Knows Me by Genesis, Hangin' Around by The Strangers, Phantom of the Opera by Iron Maiden, and We Don't Need Another Hero by Tina Turner.
JackHOST
Side note, this is my least favorite Ghost release.
JackHOST
The only song I really like off here is Jesus, He Knows Me, and I think the rest are just...
Tom GulleyHOST
This is Todd Rundgren, David Bowie, and Iggy Pop.
Tom GulleyHOST
This is the U.S. band Television, which was part of the post-punk movement.
Tom GulleyHOST
And these clothes they're wearing are extremely 80s.
Tom GulleyHOST
I know it's a black and white photo, but a T-shirt under... like a formal sweater or a cardigan, uh, that kind of open neck Oxfordy shirt with a different kind of fabric.

Richard Lloyd was born in 1951.
speaker_0HOST
He was a guitarist for the group Television, a heavily influenced indie rock band.
speaker_0HOST
Probably should be in the Hall of Fame, honestly.
speaker_0HOST
Just saying.
Mick SmithHOST
On the American side, punk's New York precursors produced guitar work of real originality.
Mick SmithHOST
Tom Verlaine of Television, whose album Marquee Moon remains one of the most orally complex guitar records ever made by a self-described punk band.
Mick SmithHOST
and his partner Richard Lloyd developed an interlocking melodic approach to two-guitar playing that owed as much to Albert Ehlers' free jazz as to any rock precedent.
Mick SmithHOST
Verlaine's guitar on the title track, Marquee Moon, was a 10-minute improvisation that builds and releases tension with extraordinary control, demonstrated that the rejection of guitar heroics did not have to mean the rejection of complexity, art, or ambition.
Jon RichardsonHOST
Have it.
Jon RichardsonHOST
It's Marky Moon by Television.
Jon RichardsonHOST
We're going to play a piece of music now.
Jon RichardsonHOST
We try and keep the energy up on the show, so I don't often play sort of slower pieces, but this is just one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've heard for a long time.
Frank D'AmicoGUEST
Now I had a leather jacket and fell in love with a lot of the music too.
Frank D'AmicoGUEST
Blondie, Television, Richard Hell and the Voidoids, Talking Heads.
Frank D'AmicoGUEST
And since I worked at CBGB's, I approached the guy that did the booking and I said, hey, any chance my band could get a Monday night audition night? And he said, sure, why not? And every night CBGB's was packed.
Frank D'AmicoGUEST
So our very first gig was in front of a packed house at CBGB's and it was great.
Michael MoynihanHOST
I mean, that was the entire point of that song was going to a place that was totally forbidden.
Michael MoynihanHOST
But yeah, look, I put on Marquee Moon by Television, one of the greatest records ever recorded.
Michael MoynihanHOST
And I love Tom Verlaine, I love that era and Richard Lloyd.
Michael MoynihanHOST
And I just don't have the nostalgia.
Matthew James DerzikHOST
And you talk about the music.
Matthew James DerzikHOST
One, I'm trying to think, it was probably about halfway through the song that the tone changes, right? from the crunchy guitar to a very almost jangly guitar riff that is very, very reminiscent of Marquee Moon by Television.
Matthew James DerzikHOST
And my thought was, I wonder if this guy has listened to Marquee Moon by Television.
Matthew James DerzikHOST
And a few bars into the second half – I don't know why I said bars, but sure, let's go with it – He makes a reference to his children or the kids he knows dressing up like Richard Hell.
Matthew James DerzikHOST
And I'm thinking, okay, that answers my question.
Christopher GreyHOST
Alchemy.
Christopher GreyHOST
Richard Lloyd came from the band Television.
Christopher GreyHOST
Later, he played guitar on Matthew Sweet's Girlfriend LP, but his solo stuff is really solid as well.
Christopher GreyHOST
I first got clued into his first record called Real Time, especially the song Misty Eyes.
Paul HinesHOST
Interesting choice there.
Christopher GreyHOST
Bob says that he'd love to get his hands on the master tapes for this LP and remix it and remaster it.
Christopher GreyHOST
He's pretty sure Richard Lloyd is now more remembered for 1991's Girlfriend, that's Matthew Sweet's record, and the guitar work he did on that versus the band Television or his solo work.
Christopher GreyHOST
Maybe so, but Television certainly has a good following all these years later.
