The Ruts - It Was Cold

[FREDTHEFIN1]

Best punk band ever still get shivers now and all most people knew was babylons burning what a shame Malcolm couldn't over come and the guitar was awesome never mind van halen or all that anal crap this is guitar at it's best very undersung song writing will never ever stop loving them R.I.P. lads

[RebelRadius]

Great song from the ruts - One of my favourites.

[rubitchen]

THERE WILL NEVER BE ANYTHING LIKE THIS BAND

[Froggtherigger]

[CarldeReims]

Fucking one of the best British bands ever!!! Hated it when he died...he left us all behind to experience an eternity of shit music. Simon Cowell has to be fucking STOPPED!!!

These guys shit on everything happening today ... I grew up in the 70's/80's and this just reminds me how great this entire period was for original music. The RUTS are in a league of their own.

[blogarage]

DAMNED AND RUTS are the best british punk rock band for me...

[RaunchyRocker]

I Spunked ina girls shoes to this song !

[fatandim]

The Ruts............Nuff Said!

[mrblifil]

Amazing, never knew this existed. Malcolm had such stage authority. They really played for keeps. Oh what might have been...

[zebonaut]

@mrblifil

His stage majority in this clip is also driven by an obvious dose of what killed him later i´d say, don´t you think?

He´s definetely ON.. !

[Loobs666]

@zebonaut Not really, i've known many a smack head and i've never seen any as bouncy as Malcolm was in this vid, mostly they look like slack-jawed dribblers, away with the fairys... methinks, the amphetimine side was starting to kick in!

[watfordsteve]

The best punk band ever. There wasn't anyone like them then, and now. You can keep your pistols and clash, the Ruts knocked them into a cocked hat!!

[rezlerken]

Erics! along time ago ! Babylons burning still blows me tits off pardon the german Goin 2 listern 2 it right this minute neighbours are goin hate me! but thats the"crack"

[Hogweed12]

I'm into Prog rock, but this band were a bit special and turned me on to punk

R.I.P. Paul and Malcolm.

Great song i hadn't heard since 1980

[michael6mac]

The Crack is definately one of the best punk L..P.'s produced.

[tomsawyer56]

i was talking to foxies brother (Terry) last night and thought i would remind myself what a fabulous band the ruts were, R.I.P Paul and Malcolm,

[boltonbear]

My personal favorite punk band of all time, The crack, was as good as never mind the b.

[wackoboy]

don't u mean the buzzcocks

never mind is the tv show ....

[elpeedro]

i think he means never mind the bollocks, as in the The Pistols mate

[ItsRobsLife]

we kept on running.. until the daylight.. and it was cold..

Great tune.

First time I've seen any live footage and gotta say they were fantastic.

cheers.

[terryvippond]

Brings back memories of listening to the Crack over and over again and pissing my parents off with all the time. Malcolm was a legend and I always mourn the fact I didn't get to see them live.

[brion692]

Coming from the same neck of the woods as The Ruts,its a shame Malcolm died so young,could of been one of the greats.Brings back great memories,rock on Malcolm and Paul.(R.I.P.)

[heartlander]

I would like to cover this song with my band. Could somebody post the lyrics here? I'm german and I don't understand every single word.

[CalamityConsty]

@heartlander du bist dumm und deutsch...böse falle

[heartlander]

Du musst nicht von dir auf mich schließen, wenn du einen schlechten Tag hast... alles wird gut ;-*

[CalamityConsty]

ich gestehe-du hast recht.

Aber warum besorgst du dir den songtext nicht einfach?Also auf meiner LP steht er im inlet...

[heartlander]

[trumbellst]

[napper1977]

This is amazing, thanks for posting. I honestly don't know why it took me so long to hear The Ruts. Rollins spoke of them on his radio show and again in spoken word earlier this month. I just cannot believe how empty my playlist was without this stuff...

You should check the benefit gig dvd out. The guys still kick ass 30 years on! It's just outstanding!
