[ONEpissedPUNK]

so much for this being a phase eh?

[LongDrivesAtNight]

I discovered SLF because of a band from Newfoundland called Two Guitars Clash.

[jafro8]

@k00patr00pa1 u jelly?

[RudolfKnap]

Where is my youth gone!? S.L.F. great!

[MrNirvana55]

[mrtom7017]

[MegaSharon555]

SAW THIS GROUP WHEN I WAS 15 IN MANCHESTER !!!! WOW GOOD TIMES LOL THEY WERE BRILL !!!!!! x

[k00patr00pa1]

no one gives a shit if your 15 you want a fucking cookie or what? Enjoy the tunes

[goth1agw1omw]

Jake Burns was my first interview as a journalist. I guess the only way was down from there. Absolute legends, really nice guy.

[macameron9]

I was a soldier who joined the Army straight from school in the early 80s. This song could have been written for me (and thousands like me) following the Falklands War. Was never sure which side of the divide SLF were but after seeing them live in Belfast on the 'No Sleep Til Belfast Tour', I didnt really care. Awesome band regardless of political persuasion.

[merseybeast76]

@macameron9 They were on the side of reason. Listen to the lyrics on "Wasted Life" and "Is that what you fought the war for"

[dean6008]

if we could have those days back ahhhhhh

[cowshedposse]

jus fukin awsum one of the best bands ever live n loud its wot they very gud at long live slf

[subliminaltikva]

i was raised with Stiff Little fingers at  a young age,and i have yet to see them live,but i will someday

[KatehhKannibal]

SLF were my first ever gig when i was just 7! Can blame my mum and dad for my musical influences. Still going to see them now at 14!

[gunner2474]

@KatehhKannibal

Ha Ha, SLF were my first band too. I saw them in Dundee, Scotland when I was 12.... I'm now 44. Long live SLF!!!

[kbinco]

Going to see these guys next month, can't wait. I am 53, and never saw them back in the day. But I will soon.

[carld1967]

One of many amazing tunes........SLF Live on

[geniousnot]

class back to my youth the fingers ruled with the clash

[ger50champ]

yes brilliant era,2nd best band after the Clash.No doubts

[64roo]

@ger50champ

I was a Sydney Mod in 79' and we loved SLF....funny most punks didn't...wierd hey?

[jamesloy176]

Hanks. great track

[RochelleMG]

I'm seeing them tonight in Brooklyn. I'm 51 and still a punk.

[TonyGgoss]

@RochelleMG well done son

[BunnymanUK]

Im from N.Ireland, Belfast born, whats wrong with Bangor? They aint U2, thank fek

[splodge13]

crap. 

[thefraggenator]

This is one of my favourite songs. I'm 15 now and all my life i've been a fan of this kind of music - my dad was a hardcore punk, and still is! and i'm glad!

[alexisonfire72]

@thefraggenator ha im 39 years old aND STILL A HC PUNK; GREETS TO YOUR DAD FROM GERMANY-DÜSSELDORF 111

[Dragonstorm787]

Man, these guys are Awesome! If it weren't for the simple rental of a little film called "High Fidelity", these guys would have completely passed me by!

[wuggynchris]

fuck your pope and your queen! enjoy the fucking song

[goth1agw1omw]

It actually sounds better live at their gigs. (Last of their gigs I went to there was a Sid Vicious lookalike bobbing around near me, creepy how much he looked like him). Also Jake Burns was the first person I ever interviewed (that was famous) as a journalist.

[Vorple]

Timeless

[koochaloo]

how the hell can anyone dislike this???!!!?!?!?

[somonelse666]

happy st. patrick's day everybody!

[paddonc]

FUCK THE FORCES!

[stuf1977]

@paddonc

Really? Why?

And anyway, shouldn't you be busy living with your mum, watching superhero clips,wondering what girls feel like? Instead of looking for decent music that you don't understand to comment on? Twat

[paddonc]

@stuf1977 actually i am a nerdy dumb ass, but you see most punks take shit like this and turn it around, but i agree, exceot for the wat girls feel like, and the forces are manipulative and liers, if you like them so much go join em, cobra fukin comander, not to mention the song is saying exactly what i am.

[TheRon1122]

what shit we listen to today

[vacherno3]

Next week st patricks day off to see one of the daddys of punk music not to mention their irish, full of guiness full of mayhem! awesome band

[909bob1]

i hope they do a concert soon :)

[62Debby]

@909bob1

19th march 2011 02 Academy newcastle

20th march O2 Academy Leeds

23rd march O2 Academy Oxford

27th march O2 Academy Bristol

[TheHughLundy]

Still Fingle Fingers and bands fromnthe same era(The Clash/Sex Pistols Etc) are about what music is about They get you feeling they get you involved.It's a shame we don't have bands like tis today. More impotantly we have Stiff Little Fingers get out to see them when they play(unlike modern so called bands) your town I know I Will

[92robbieb]

fuck my dad used to listen to this when i was like 4 now im stuck as a punk. FUCKING LOVE IT

[yahpoops]

Grew up with this band, child of the 70's from Ulster they mean so much to me

[SandwichGremlin]

My mum introduced me to this band when I was 10...3 years on and still lovin' them :)

[SiochainArDomhon]

I'm 20 nanoseconds old and I love this music. I wish people would stop listening to bands that no-one's heard of yet and give old stuff a try. And by old, I mean anything pre-2000, because I'm only 20 nanoseconds old and make other people feel old by saying this music is old.

[Evthedrunk]

lv been listening to this since i was a baby 30yrs ago still sounds fresh

[stashyjon]

Best punk act ever... no question

[somonelse666]

2 dislikes wtf?

[79clash]

@somonelse666 How can u dislike SLF or this song bet there xfactor fans

[jbmharley]

@somonelse666 brainless ppl ....

[PunkersAgain]

Saw em at St Georges Hall Bradford I think it was 1981 long time ago. Best Band I ever saw. Makes me feel fucking Ancient.

[Jima1905]

@PunkersAgain i know what you mean mate , seen them down Poole about same time , SFL , undertones , clash . all great live , funny how my kids hate my music !!!!

[Bikage21]

The guys put on a rad performance

[aivopark]

The english, germans, french, russians are expanding and fighting for their empire, but irish and we finns are just fighting for our existence.

[samthomasmusic]

@aivopark Finnish are awesome. Winter War won.

[66GASKIN]

Saw them play at Middlesbrough last night, 29 years after seeing them play 4 the first time, still worth the admission price !

[kiwismogmonster]

@66GASKIN were in the boro did you see them, living in NZ, miss the boro, for the Rock Garden and down stairs at the town hall, were 1980,s punk was at its best!

[FitzroviaTV]

One of the best songs ever written.

[andreabaker2]

Christ, I feel old. 22 and 1/2 years ago (specifically March 19, 1988) I saw them at the Barrowlands in Glasgow and like the reckless 19YO that I was after the concert I hitch-hiked back to Edinburgh in the middle of the night, somehow managing not to be assaulted on the way.

[ohbugger54]

April 3, SLF in Iduna, Drachio Holland. It`ll be the first time i`ll see `m.

Looking forward to it

[doofuschap]

Saw them 2009 Warrington Parr Hall... bloody fantastic, keep your stadium gigs!!

[patagia]

saw them in 78 and 79 still one of the best punk bands ever.

[LeBob25]

I think you can hear where Green Day got some of its influences from

[4everhabs]

I can can see the influence, but SLF sound so much better.

[stivoivod]

Probably my most favorite band, after The Clash, I don't know what you did in the U.K back then, but you probably made some of he best music to ever see the light of day

[emmooldmod]

very good song thanks for posting

[mandy6991]

the mighty mighty bosstones did a cover to this :]

i like both versions <3

[UltimateJeb]

[lotsata]

@UltimateJeb

getting ready to go out the door to see them in brum

[daipunker65]

me too,but i'm in good company here,we all got taste.

[grubster41]

One of the favourite bands of my youth! Still quality, but shit it makes me feel old!!!

[ok1001]

I feel so too

[inhocsignovinces88]

@grubster41 Yeah, that makes three of us old fogies.

[UTFRG]

@grubster41 Young people want to feel old so we have the memories sorry for the millions of comments by people going im 13 and i like this music im not 13 lol

[MrAppleBradwee]

@UTFRG sorry but what does it matter how old you are? its not a club. you can say the same thing about listening to bach or beethoven and it will be equally retarded. music is timeless, good on the 13 year olds for actually thinking about what music to listen to!

[natnut1990]

@grubster41 my favourite band and im in my youth!

[radiationphilc]

brilliant, along with wasted life

[ok1001]

yes they are!

[ryhnoo]
