Question about the Wembley '82 MIA Video

Evil One · 08 May 2007, 00:17

Here's a question for any of those 'in the know'. How come Paradise was never included on this video? It seems odd that the most visual of performances isn't included. Was there an almighty balls-up during the song, or is it just another example of Meat's companies not knowing their arse from their elbow?

I'd pretty much put it down the the sheer godawfulness of Meat's voice back then. He really was struggling at that time. But if I was being nice, I'd probably say that it was edited out for time purposes.

But I wouldn't have thought his vocals on Paradise would have been any worse than the rest of the concert.

I don't think his voice is actually that bad on this video, I love this video, its a proper rock show. promised land and im gonna love her for both of us are superb versions, would have loved others from deadringer performed on this video.

I really have to say, at the time when excerpts were available on YouTube, Meat's voice wasn't any worse than it can sometimes get. At points, it seemed the whole male section of the band was singing along with him at the same time, and sometimes it really wasn't necessary, his voice was okay to go it alone.
