Goldfinger!!

[DeadOrAlive]

Goldfinger is one of the best bands ever man. In their earlier days they ruled with Ska Punk styled music including heavy impressive bass lines with an incredibly over driven guitar. Later in their days became punk rock and soon pop punk.

I love all eras of these guys, want them to keep on rockin'.

Anybody else got a vibe for these dudes??

Spokesman is a cool song from them, thats all I know and yeah they had a cover of Nena's song 99 Red balloons that's why I hated them and first.

99 Red Balloons - THE remake. I like it better than any other version I've heard before.

Saw Goldfinger in 1996 when they opened for the Sex Pistols and (like most of the neo-punks) they bored the shit out of me. Though I did think their cover version of "Rio" was kinda funny.

But make no mistake about this... 7 Seconds made the definitive version of "99 Red Balloons"

This crappy video doesn't really do the song justice.......

Saw them accidently at some indoor festival. Actually really enjoyed them.
