Blur: Song 2 — When I Feel Heavy Metal
Available · one owner onlyArchive note
Promotional poster for Blur's 1997 performance of "Song 2" at MTV Japan Live, capturing the band mid-performance against a garish floral damask backdrop. Damon Albarn dominates the foreground, mouth open mid-scream, sweat glistening, while Graham Coxon, Alex James, and Dave Rowntree labor behind him in studied chaos. The poster conflates the Britpop aesthetic with arena rock aggression—a deliberate collision between the manufactured and the visceral that speaks to the band's late-90s reinvention. Collected by those tracking the intersection of music video culture and live performance documentation.
