Honestly the best band of the new wave. Ultravox are everything their name implies. The single most successful band in history, after Deep purple. Every single track flawless. - Its not about popularity, its pure sound, and prolific music.

One of the best live voices in music historie

When the the replacement drummer never heard the song he is miming.

[djmylesmatisse]

Whoever the guest drummer is (NOT WARREN CANN), he obviously didn't listen to the song a few times before to get all the mimed licks right. LOL. SMH.

[moow]

Always thought this was a song about nuclear war. About man who knows death is coming (nuclear missiles have been fired), dancing with his girlfriend. This was during the Cold War.

[nigelsim]

Why are they miming this, 18 months -2 years after it was originally released?
