[sofakingdrunk66]

What raw energy wish i was young again.....

[jrmarrero96]

I can't imagine any major band in this day and age with the brass balls to storm offstage in the middle of a network performance. I love it!

my big bro took me 2 see the band when i was 13 . in the glasgow appolo. very lucky 2 get in by the way. loads of bribin bouncers with swally (drink) :) still 2 me the band of the pres. but ive met them all now they;ve still got one more gig in them for they;re FANS lets get it the gether one more time. HEHE NO MORE HERO'S.

[hammbetta]

this is the show when they walked off after 2 or 3 songs

[baldieman4]

As punk rock performances on tape go this is one of the best ones ever captured. The band stormed off after this number, but before trashing their instruments and telling the crowd of students to "FACK OFF!". Great stuff. Great track. Great band.

[ojf1985]

nice, why did they storm off?? anyone got some footage of that?? :)

[polycera]

at the time of the gig the band were under the mistaken belief that ticket sales would be split between the university students and local stranglers fans who wished to attend. when they discovered that the audience consisted solely of university students they ended the gig. it was only later that the band found out no such ticket arrangements had, in fact, been made.

[Ursus3000]

interesting, i didnt know that. i always thought it was their dislike of students, hehe.

btw, i think the complete show contains five songs, but i dont know where to get this recording.

[iamcoop]

The best band this country have ever produced.

[XCERT4]

Lets go fucking mental.

[kalisteboat]

Raaaaah, i was too young to see them live.

What a pity !

AAAArrrrgh.

The only thing i can do is to propose to play this song to my rock band but what a mess as some of them prefer to play Muse and Coldplay !

Let's hope ....

[nxtmaster]

You can catch them live (without Hugh or course) still fecking brilliant!!

[BLUKBLUK]

yes the first 4 stranglers albums are the best,and rattus norvegicus is one of the best punk rock albums I heard

[slagmilkcard]

Totally agree!

[bathingapeshit]

The Stranglers were the first band I ever saw live, when I was 13 back in 1980. What a band.

[calsed]

Best rock song ever. Fabulous performance.

[we5tbound]
