The Tubes

Absolutely goated band, wildly underrated!

why they sound like jimi hendrix?

I saw them about a year ago in CA. I am fully convinced that they are pulling a weekend at Bernie's with Fee. He is LIFELESS

❤️❤️

Honestly miss the description from 2015

Still pretty good

Solid.

Still pretty good

RIP founding member bassist Rick Anderson

Pretty good

I remember listening to White Punks on Dope playing at a gas station convenience store. My first exposure to The Tubes. It was like a couple years ago or so. I finally got around to getting their albums this year. Good band!

I never knew that Sean Penn was in a band before.

The last.fm description gets me every time

still pretty good

ICONS!

pretty good

I wonder why this band isn't more popular. Their debut is one of the best new wave albums

Oh, okay. Just read about the Swiss band from the 00s in the bio. Never heard of them though. And it looks like nobody is listening to them either. Less than people do to the original Tubes even. ;)

70s and 80s Tubes sound so fundamentally different though that one might think that they're two bands. So I'm not that surprised when someone thinks that there are two bands out there which share the same name.

"There is more than one group called the Tubes." no.

Best band ever best album ever best song ever (White Punks On Dope). MOG

i got the self titled CD at home, but it's not mine. it's my uncles, no telling when he'll get it back though. i want the vinyl.

I saw them live a few years back and they are still entertaining as hell!

I saw these guys live in 1978 (before the She's a Beauty sellout) and they were absolutely amazing. So outrageous... it's really too bad they decided to become a crappy pop band.

Can you guys please come to Canada...My dad NEEDS to see you.

Does anyone remember the name of the tune The Tubes did for the Rock-N-Roll Terrorist skit., and yes they were Awesom all three times I saw them

Never saw them perform live but i did see them on T V and they looked awesome.

saw them when I was just a kid and I loved it to bits...with all the leather,the girls,the auction,the bikes...it was mad!

This is a great band, and my first cassette with the Tubes was Outside/Inside so I've known that band for quite a long time I guess I could say. But I had never seen them until last summer (2009) at some huge Rock Festival in Sweden. And in a matter of fact I didn' t have on hand the program so I didn't had a clue what band was starting to play on one of the 4 various sages until I asked some guy who was video filming them. And the guy looke strangly at me and said "Hey man these are The TUBES! Wooo I said. Maybe simply because I hadn't see their stage act before. But they were fun and geat.

Two words: Mr. Hate.

I can't help loving you...

Yeah, having heard White Punks On Dope back in the mid 70's, I got hooked with Remote Control... (Prime Time, TV Is King etc)...I picked up the CD compilation White Punks On Dope (on Spectrum in the UK) about 2 years back and it is most excellent... all the best stuff from their spell on A&M is there... though nothing from their time with Capitol. Great band... Talk to Ya Later is one of those underrated rock radio classics. Sweet!

i love these guys and this girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So funny, first I heard White Punks on Dope and then She's a Beauty, I was like; noo. this isn't the same artist. But yessss it was. xD

This is sweet. I thank allmusic for having Remote Control as their album of the day last week.

This is one of my favorite bands. I first heard them in the early 1980s, when I attended a university. I have not seen them in concert.

I saw these guys performing at the Sweden Rock Festival I wasn't even aware of it that these guys were the Tubes! And at the beguinning of there show I though the lead singer was some kind of a freak (lol) But the more I watched and listened I reolised that that was just part of the show. I actually really enjoyed there humor and the jokes that Mr. Waybill was performing. Thanks a lot for your act.

By the way, I'm looking for a The Tubes songbook that was released in the 80's. If anyone has this book, or knows anything about it, please leave me a message. I'm desperately trying to find it.

Saw them Yesterday.. Going to AC/DC soon, don't think they will be able to top the Tubes.

Gotta get me some Sushi....

first real gig i ever visited was one of theirs! right before the stones. the tubes actually gave a way better show than the stones. it was just a totally different atmosphere and everything.

can't you control your bitches!!

June 5th.. I'm there!

Still sounds great - I'm so tied up there's no escape!

<3 this album
