Damned neat neat neat supersonic 1977

[cozener1]

title of the song sums up this performance!

[iMacintoshify]

Classic. Awesome. Pure sex. Pure power. Pure punk.

[Carlson2323]

Good lord...Dave Vanian is just sex on a stick.

[NeilNapalm]

I remember watching this at the age of 15 and it changed what music listened too FOREVER. A life changing event.....

[TheLindsayBarrett]

I wish more guys dressed like Vanian or Captain...

[psychodamned]

@TheLindsayBarrett I'm a cross between Dave Vanian and Brian James :D

[psychodamned]

I THINK IT WAS ON THE MARC BOLAN SHOW ORIGINALLY. IT DON'T GET MUCH BETTER THAN THIS ... I RECKON IT WAS THE BEST ROCK N ROLL SINGLE IN THE WORLD EVER !!!!

[Proxylfc]

to think this was on a kids music show..this was before any other english punk bands had been on tv. amazing

[TheLexyboy]

now, how much speed and alcohol do you imagine they were on?

[FinrotCrapbag]

My brother called me downstairs to watch this when it was first shown. It started a 4 year love affair with punk and it's still as raw and brilliant today as it was back then

[notanfningain]

i love the damned but I clicked the thumbs down cos it's the real punk thing to do; love live the damned

[peaceman1234567]

Don`t know why they had to look like women.

[salvadory]

@peaceman1234567 i think the singer was going for the vampire look- not transvestite !

[mvdragon91]

When your live performance sounds better than your studio recording thats the sign of a fucking great band.

[KillingJoke696]

Captain still have the price tag on that bass?

[PunkAndFun]

@KillingJoke696 Captain wasn't the guitarist?

[micknufc]

a joke band?

sorry mr lydon,a bloody good punk rock band ,if not the best!

rip joe, yous had a bit of a shout in there aswell ha

[rikusa]

Damn!!!

[deeder2000]

The Captain is truly original - how did he play his guitar with all his theatrics going on!

[psychodamned]

@deeder2000 That was Brian James on Guitar : )

[theCrapture]

@THEMRTENEESSEE It's a reference to a solo song that Captain Sensible did in the early 80s

[theCrapture]

@THEMRTENEESSEE "He said 'Captain!' - I said 'Wot?' "

[RegsterGuitar]

.. christ.. 0 people dont know how to punk out.

[boyztomen]

Dangerous and at the same time Comedic.

[redtorso]

After all these years , the DaMMMned remain the Be$t Punk Band !!!!!!!!

[TheBubblerev]

uno dei poki gruppi del 77 che sapeva suonare

[jkbillion]

just the damned best.nz rates u.

[smirkbot]

What the fuck? The barely show the genius of the group, Brian James.

[rabsmiff]

it's punky......not funky.

[stylophobia]

I remember seeing this in 1977-my raging teenage hormones were highly receptive to the Punk Rock sound. Quite right too, as the late Mr. Peel would say. 

[Ze0p0ld]

This tune was ok but I didn't have much respect for The Damned at the time cos they were clowning around while more serious groups like The Pistols and The Clash were inciting rebellion.

If I wanted comedy back in the new wave days I'd stay home and watch Morecambe and Wise

[TheMrMarilyn]

@Ze0p0ld You WOULD??Morcombe an Wise??Wow...

[salvadory]

@Ze0p0ld the damned proved to be some of the best tunesmiths of the era along with weller and jones/ strummer- the pistols were a one-off- lydons a wanker- the damned still put on a show that most 18 yer olds cant match-- ps by clowning around they were taking the piss out of the '''serious punk" which is more punk if you think about it

[biffmuncher23]

this has to be the 2nd best punk song ever released only just beaten by anarchy in the uk actualy screw the sex pistols the damned beats them every time!!!

[Assiman]

playback or over-dubbed?

[crieff1sand2s]

INDEED

[pemoc66]

Cheers hamster :)) I'd never seen this til now. Excellent!

[psychodamned]

The Damned are the best group ever... NO CONTEST !

[Serenberg]

@psychodamned wow way 2 cool. seen them in detroit and in miami.saw Vanian do a tribute to MC5.Bass tracks r fast and furios.First 2 albums were awesome ,Every song on those 2 albums were good.Can't say that about 2 many other bands.Saints,Depressions etc

[pedroabranco]

Damned one of my favourites bands, after The Clash...

fantastic cover, there's any record avaiable with this version?

[BeautifullDisasterr]

Mine also!!!

[jpbimagery]

This is on the record "Damned Damned Damned". Definitely one of my favorite 70's punk albums.

[hmcmo1]

my intro to punk rock lifechanging

[punkrockxzz]

Brian James is such a badass. One of the most important punk bands

[FergR]

but despite some great songs after he left, never the same again..

[punkrockxzz]

i agree with you on that., i definitely like these days the best.

[MsBattyboy]

No you're right Capt is a much better guitarist

[psychodamned]

Brian James is my guitar idol. Criminally ignored !! He looked cool as F**k as well !

[revjimbob]

I remember seeing this one saturday morning. The Damned - the quintessential punk band.

[peaceman1234567]

@revjimbob err you missed the word TRANSVESTITE punk band

[revjimbob]

@peaceman1234567

The rest of the charts at the time were filled with the likes of the Bee Gees - long blow-dried hair, silk shirts and high-pitched voices. the Damned were poitibely butch in comparison.

[novice8814]

glitchesandglitter: you are so right! I still have all these old records from 31 years ago. And The Damned shine far above the rest.

[glitchesandglitter]

far surpasses the sex pistols in every way..!
