Where do these fans of this most underrated band in world rock history come from? Who likes Concrete Blonde transcends in life and becomes a more evolved person. There are many guitar riffs, vocals, the most perfect and powerful melodies I've ever heard in 46 years of life. I'm a big fan of many bands, mainly Australian surf bands but Concrete Blonde is an inexplicable thing that happens to my heart and feelings. It seems that I already heard these songs, in a parallel reality, before hearing them for the first time in 1991. It was, is and will always be my heart band. They say that Johnette Napolitano is coming to Brazil in September. I still don't believe it. 🏄🏼♂️🏄🏾♀️🏄🏽🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼❤️❤️❤

Johnette wields that voice to perfection - a true artistic genius - doesn't oversing or undersing it - just delivers a powerful performance.

Only 7 comments on this video in the last year - that kind of underlines what most of them have been saying: A criminally under-appreciated band. If you look at her whole body of work honestly; in terms of power, range, pitch, phrasing, breath control and range of expression, hers is the best voice in the history of Rock & Roll. No one plays with the class & style Jim Mankey yet he never gets a mention.If you love this music support it, buy their stuff.

I've always considered Johnette to be a poet....she's way beyond a song writer...and Jim's guitar fits her mood and voice... They were a great band and overlooked by most people.....I feel lucky to be a fan....they are fantastic! C.B. is one of those bands that will be with me for life.....I wish that they would've had the success they deserve!!!

Concrete Blonde was so underated. I was a kid when this was released, but I grew up in a household where music was a big deal. Even as a kid, I loved bands like Concrete Blonde and Jane's Addiction. Johnette is an amazing vocalist. This was one of my favorite CB songs ever. It's so melodic and laid back. Just a timeless arrangement.

My eyes are jaded and complicated, Tired of the liars and the masqueraded Who steals our innocence away, Like a thief in the night? Who took away our faith in what we know to be right? That was another world, then That was another time You can never go back to the scene of a perfect crime. Whatever became of the child I was I never want to lose her no I won't give her up And now my heart is harder, My skin is getting tougher and tougher That was another world then That was another time You can never go back to the place where love is blind You can never go back to the scene of a perfect crime Whatever became of our sweet blind love As long as we could be together it was more than enough Now we're all grown up and we need so much I never knew that the price would go up as such That was another world then, then That was another time Well you can never go back to the place where love is blind. Well you can never go back to the place where love is blind. Well you can never go back to the place where love is blind. You can never go back to the scene of a perfect crime. Evokes so much emotion.... Love You Forever! Songwriters: Johnette Lin Napolitano

My best friend in Junior High school was IN LOVE with Christian Slater in the late 80's, early 90's. He was in Pump Up the Volume and it is bc of that movie that we discovered C.B. That movie's soundtrack is so iconic for me bc of the song "Everybody Knows". How is it that C.B. didn't blow the f*** up after that? My best friend and I were only 12 yrs old and after one time of hearing 'Everybody Knows' we were instant fans for life.
