Joker - Easy Come And Go

This is the amazing video by Joker. A portuguese band that had 2 albuns in 1992 and 1994.
This song was like magic. I heard this a lot for sure in the 90s. Sad they are not here anymore with more rock music.
I saw them live one time in 1992/November/6 when they made the first part of Thunder and Extreme in the old Pavilhão Dramático de Cascais.

Going to paste here the story of the band Joker taken from Discogs Site:

Band from Cascais, Portugal, formed in the summer of 1990 by vocalist Tiago Gardner and keyboardist José Tavares. Joining them was drummer Eduardo Silva, bassist Hugo Granger, and guitarist Paulo Pereira. In September of the same year, the band played their first gig in Cascais. In December, after several concerts, the band entered the Tcha Tcha Tcha studios to record their first demo tape, titled "Demo '90", which included three tracks: "Little Suzie", "Bitten By The Snake" and "Burning With Desire". At the beginning of 1991, drummer Eduardo left the band and Bruno Ganger, Hugo's brother, replaced him. Between April and July the group played live eight times, between Lisbon and Cascais. The first contacts with management and the Polygram label began in April 1991. Luís Páscoa replaced Bruno Ganger on drums, and the band records another demo tape with 5 songs. In November 1992, their first full-length is released, "Ecstasy". In November 6th 1992, Joker opens for US band Extreme and UK group Thunder, at the Dramático in Cascais. The song "Easy Come And Go" reaches the national Top and the 12" EP "Easy Come And Go" is released. In 1993 the band played live all over the country, some discos like the News in Cascais, Alcântara-Mar in Lisbon, as well venues like Armazén 22, also in Lisbon and Pavilhão do Infante Sagres in Porto. The band leaves their Hard Rock roots to follow a more groove-oriented and mature sound on their 2nd album "Egg Nightmare", released in 1994. After the contract with Polygram the band disappeared.

Hugo Granger (Bass)

Joker - Easy Come And Go



Hope you will love this awesome lyric.

Joker - Easy Come And Go

Easy Come Easy Go
Seems to me you want me to see
That you love me but baby
It already shows
No need for tears
No need for crying
All through these years
Of troubles and fears
Never once I though
We'd start all over again
And baby hold me one last time
Cause baby I'm letting you go this time
Easy Come And Go
Little should you know
Life ain't full of dreams
We're falling at the seems
Hoping you would see
It's not meant for me
This can no longer last
Easy Come Easy Go

Feel it come feel it go
Always on the edge
When something is wrong
Can't you see you and I
We were slipping away from the start
Yeah
And baby hold me one last time
No no no
Cause baby I'm letting you go this time
Easy Come And Go
Little should you know
Life ain't full of dreams
We're falling at the seems
Hoping you would see
It's not meant for me
Oh
Easy Come Easy Go

Easy Come And Go
Little should you know
Life ain't full of dreams
We're falling at the seems
Hoping you would see
It's not meant for me
This can no longer last
Easy Come and Go
Easy Come And Go
Little should you know
Little should you know
Life ain't full of dreams
We're falling at the seems
Oh baby you the seems
Oh baby
This can no longer
Easy Come Easy Go

Easy Come And Go
Little should you know
We're keep falling at the seems
Loving you loving you
Would see
It's not meant for me
Oh
Little should you know
Life ain't full of dreams
Easy Come Easy Go

'Suicide Squad' Director Says 'The Crew Stops Working' When Jared Leto Does The Joker

Suicide Squad director David Ayer has set the DC Comics fan world a-buzzing after an interview with Total Film [via DC Vertigo Daily] in which he speaks of Jared Leto's performance as the Joker in almost messianic terms.

Leto, the Oscar-winning actor and frontman of 30 Seconds to Mars, was tapped back in 2014 to play the iconic role in Warner Bros.' film featuring iconic DC Comics supervillains. Of the opportunity to play such a legendary character already immortalized by the likes of Jack Nicholson and Heath Ledger, Leto told Billboard last year, "to take on this nearly Shakespearean character -- that's what graphic novels and comic books are becoming, right? [He's] this beautiful disaster of a character -- what a big challenge."

Ayer describes the experience of watching Leto-as-Joker as one in which "the hairs stand up on the back of your neck.

"What Jared has done is absolutely incredible," he gushes. "When he steps onto the set the world stops. Everything stops. What he’s done is so powerful, so menacing, so palpable, you can feel him. The crew stops working and just watches him. I have to get everybody going again because he’s so fascinating."

Fans will have to wait until the film's official release date of Aug. 5 to see it for themselves.

Jared Leto, 2015-10-06 - VFHollywood, Will Smith Reveals Just How Intense Jared Leto’s Suicide Squad Transformation Was

TRANSFORMATIONS

Will Smith Reveals Just How Intense Jared Leto’s Suicide Squad Transformation Was



“We worked together for six months and we’ve never exchanged a word outside of ‘Action!’ and ‘Cut!’”


For his Oscar-winning role in Dallas Buyers Club, Jared Leto lost 30 pounds, shaved his entire body, and refused to break character while filming the drama. And for his follow-up role in the upcoming Suicide Squad, Leto reportedly took his transformation into the iconic super-villain The Joker just as seriously.

In a new interview, Leto’s co-star Will Smith, who plays Deadshot, reveals that Leto completely disappeared into his character so much so that Smith still doesn’t know what Leto, the actor, is like in real life.

“[Suicide Squad] is insane,” Smith said in a Beats 1 interview Monday (via Complex). “I’ve never actually met Jared Leto. We worked together for six months and we’ve never exchanged a word outside of ‘Action!’ and ‘Cut!’ I literally have not met him yet. So, the first time I see him will be ‘Hey, Jared. What’s up?’ He was all in on the Joker.”

This summer, Leto and Smith’s Suicide Squad cast mate Adam Beach, who plays Slipknot, revealed that Leto sent out gifts in character as well.

“He sent [Margot Robbie] a nice love letter with a black box with a rat in it—a live rat,” Beach told E!. “It was beautiful. Then he sent bullets to Will [Smith] with a letter.”

According to Beach, Leto also sent the cast a video and a “dead hog.” Beach explained of the cryptic gestures, “Basically, what he said was, ‘Guys, I can’t be there but I want you to know I’m doing my work as hard as you guys. . . . The video he showed is in character. It blew our minds away. Then we realized that day, this is real.”

Leto isn’t the first character to disappear into the role of The Joker. While filming The Dark Knight, Heath Ledger kept a diary of the character. Ledger’s father, Kim, has has since revealed, “He pretty well locked himself up in a hotel, in his apartment, for a month or so, to sort of galvanize the upcoming character in his own mind. . . . That was typical of Heath on any movie. He would certainly immerse himself in the upcoming character. I think this was just a whole new level.”

Ledger was awarded a posthumous Oscar for his chilling performance. Take a sneak peek at Leto’s Joker below in the Suicide Squad trailer.
