Hooligan

Just listening to 'From here to eternity' and somehow I never get tired of them!

Billabong

Cue Jules (but he's at a show today) and possibly Lee....

RSCAT

me mate, listening to punk stuff since i was about 8

prefer the pistols to the clash though.

i think ive spoke to you about punk music before.

Hooligan

Yeah you'd be the one that has lot's of vinyl eh?

Pistols not really my cuppa tea to be honest although I do like Lydon's 'in your face'statements about Sid

RSCAT

yeah loads of vinyls, and posters and all kinds of crap, been dealin in it for years, paid for my cossie

love the anti nowhere league, remember them ??

Hooligan

yep! Also love the blitz, sham 69, coxk sparrer and so on...

OI OI OI!

RSCAT

all out attack ep, classic

Hooligan

Bought a best of one way system yesterday

What sorta posters do you have?

RSCAT

Stab the Judge lol,


loads of posters mate, mainly gig posters and record shop promos,

just sold promo posters for the Pistols Anarchy and GSTQ singles and the 5ft Bollocks lp poster last week.

Got some early 80s Exploited gig posters from the Apocalypse now tour in Birmingham, got quite a few Damned ones, and some ANWL gig posters and promos for the first couple if singles. all good stuff

me bruvs probably got more of the stuff youd be into, alot of the hardcore stuff i cant listen to, its got to have some kind of tune in there somewhere.
mind you im more likely to listen to Eminem than Discharge these days

Hooligan

LOL I can't stand to listen to Discharge, GBH and so on anymore either
The Exploited do get played now and again though!

The business 'handball'

I'd be interested in the exploited posters...have you got a list with prices maybe and some pics/sizes?? Pm me if you like...


NO NOT YOU DEANO!!!

neilm

Clash went to.... 'gay' for my liking... doing all that reggae stuff, not that I have a problem with Reggae at all....

But for a punk band to change genre so quickly.... nah..

Much prefer proper punk stuff, Sex Pistols, Damned etc

As well as American Hardcore like the Dead Kennedys, DOA, Black Flag, Bad Brains etc

Hooligan

True, they did go sot but it was a good sorta soft!

The Damned is...well....sorta....funny now

Dead kennedy's are cool allright, also Circle jerks!!!

RSCAT

Hooli, will pm you when i dig em out and have a look, got some long runs at work this week.

Neilm i shit you not, i sold a Greek pressing of the Damneds Black Album to
Henry Rollins about a year ago when he paid me he said he was on tour in Australia so i asked if he wanted me to wait a few weeks before sending it and he said no its ok as he has staff working at the house anyway really sound bloke and a massive Damned collector, tried to sell a different colour proof test poster for one of the Damned lps of which only two were done by the printer, he said he knows all about the poster as i got one and he got the other one lol

RSCAT

and here is said poster

RSCAT

was at Rat Scabies house few months ago and he has still got the original plaque used for the cover, its superb, got a pic ang on ill load it up.

Hooligan

the Damned were a good laugh but not really my thing...not really into bats

RSCAT

RSCAT

bollox i managed to delete me sig on photobucket while i was fookin around

Hooligan

I love Dracula's shoes in the background

RSCAT

Rat Scabies was the drummer mate, Dave Vanian was the drac dude.

Have you heard of a band called Poundaflesh? they toured europe last year,
i know the drummer pretty well, hes since been kicked out the group now though.

Hooligan

Dave Vanian! That's right yes!

He's a biker last I heard, still sleeping in coffins and such

Go on: what does rat Scabies do nowadays and Dave Vanian and the rest?

Always a laugh what the rebels of old have turned into...sometimes they're still pretty much the same and sometimes they turn respectable

Chipperx2

Sure do, get funny looks as I drive past chavs with teh "pumpin tunes" as I;m listening to hateful!!

My dad got me into them, leant me the Vanilla rooms recordings disk, and although its a bit sketchy Its still good

There just one ofthose bands that i never tire of hearing, along with Pink Floyd, Oasis, the specials etc

i also like Joe Styrummers solo stuff too

Hooligan

Oasis........


Now where's the pukesmilie when you need it...

RSCAT

Well Rat dont seem to be doing alot, i was gonna buy some of his stuff hence me
visiting him but he got some money through from something or other and didnt need to sell in the end,

Dave and Captain sens(less)ible are still touring with the Damned, Daves just had
a baby with his wife Patricia (who is the woman that was in Sisters of Mercy)!

Amazingly they still get a decent turn out so ive heard but i havent been to hear them for years.

Last punk band i went to hear was Rancid, good live band

neilm

How did you manage to blag round Rats house then mate ?

I have some nice pics of David Vanian when he had a band called Dave Vanian and the Phantom Chords...

They were superb.

Some guys I know in Bedford had a band called Viet-Love and they were the support.

By 9:30 Vanian & Co hadnt showed up and the lead singer of Viet Love was making all sorts of wise cracks about no bats in sight etc.

About 9:45 Vanian & Co, in Roman Jugg rolled in, put their gear down, changed a shirt or two and just played, no sound check or anything... they were excellent.

They wouldnt play any old Damned numbers will I think pissed of the old punk contingent...

My one regret is not going to see the Chiefs of Relief when they played in Bedford... it would have been nice to see Paul Cook.

Hooligan

Patricia was only 'with' the sisters for floodland I think...remember Eldritch stating that he only hired her because she was a good looking female that could hold the bass low enough

Still, she looked good!

I wonder if they'd still be any good, being older now and all that?

Wattie from the exploited is still just as insane and violent as always lol
Just way skinnier....

RSCAT

i was supposed to be buying some of his silver discs arranged through a mate of mine who knows him well, and Rat said i could pop down to have a butchers, so i did lives down brentford area. anyway turned out he didnt need to sell anything (until the next time hes skint )

i went to a record fair in peterboro few years back and the captain was the `star guest`, funny as fook, loads of people rifling through records and no one speakin to the cap i was chattin to him for ages and he was going on about underground trains in japan for half hour proper sound bloke though.

strangest gig i went to was a doctor and the medics mystery tour, wed seen em supporting the damned so went on this thing, had a meeting point in london and had a load of coaches that took everyone to lowestoft went into this big castle type hotel thing and the band were all in the stairway saying hello, the drummer Vom (y) said to me oi are you old enough to be in here, so i said dunno why not, im taller than you mental night, very very odd.

shame mate, i didnt see em either, got the freedom to rock record somewhere.

got a blag into Rottens press conference at the cobden club in london in 2002 before the jubilee gig, amazing that bloke, he just rips reporters to shreds, they end up too scared to say anything, rottens mate `rambo`that ex sas bloke whos usually pissed came over to me and i thought oh fook, but he just shook my hand and started saying something, though havent a clue what he was going on about.

grabbed a few of the promo gstq cds while i was there, think ive got a spare one left if you want it?


she did mate, she still does, or she did couple of years ago

Skinny? fook he was always a pretty stocky bloke, Animal from the ANWL runs a building firm now.

Tell you else i met, Helen Wellington Lloyd, the little woman in the Swindle pistols film, `helen of troy`shes a really nice woman, was down her house all night and she was sound as a quid, mind you shed have to be since i was buying stuff to the tune of 4 grand

Lee Reynolds

ME

Clash were awesome! Just wish i was older(well not! but..) then i could have seen em!

I do agree that when they went into reggae it wasnt as good, but nevertheless for a Punk band to change to that style, and make it work is excellent in itself! Combat Rock is prob my least fave album.

Fave song got to be London Calling...but i also like Police and theives! White riot makes me fooking rock like a nutter

Lee Reynolds

Also dont mind some of the BAD stuff....

Chipperx2

well I'm free to liek what I like mate

Hooligan

Rotten is ace! He was on the telly the other night stating that Sid was just another junkie arsehole that fucked up his life and many others in the process and if you want that to be your idol than what a sad cunt you are

He's a bit quick with words, must be very intelligent I reckon....

Pics of Patrica?

Hooligan

What's with the rolleyes?

Like whoever you like mate, I never said you couldn't did I?

Lee Reynolds

hes only a kid Hooligan go easy

Chipperx2

Nowt mate, i just hoped you weren't teh usual stereotype of anyone who loves music, and has a sort of attitude to any band too which he doesn't like But I dont;' think you are lol

Lee Reynolds

Oasis cannot match definatley maybe...thats their weakness

Chipperx2

Agreed, although morning glory came close
