True story: There is (or at least was..back in 1992) A bulldozer in French Guyane belonging to the French Foreign Legion, named "Sweaty Betty" and had "The Macc Lads" written across her arse!
I wish more bands were like this. This is what rock'n'roll is about - pissing off the prudes and establishment. fuck political correctness and purism, it has NO place in pop and rock'n'roll.
There is a Bulldozer in French Guyane, which belongs to the Foreign Legion, which was named "Sweaty Betty" in tribute to the Macc Lads, way back in '91!
Saw them at Edinburgh's Jailhouse. Singer got bottled in the face and carried on singing. Skins started a big fight. I sat on the bar at the back gettin drunk and watched the spectacle. Unreal.
Apparently, The Beater threw a chair into the crowd at one of their gigs and got the roomful of tables thrown back at him. Also, on their live album when you hear Mutley shouting "get some lights on the fuckin stage", what sparked that off was someone throwing a smoke bomb onto the stage-or so I heard.
@headpains Love yer video to Sweaty Betty. I saw the Macc Lads live back in 1991. They were bloody brilliant. Their support act was 'Eddie Shit' and there was hell on because there was dead cats in plastic bags for sale on the stall. Everybody in the first four rows got gobbed on. Those where the days. Classic.
@oioidre Seriously mate. No shit! There was absolute hell on! Bottles of beer being thrown....on AND off stage. One group of lads thought it would be a laugh to 'lift' one of their mates up onto the stage....within seconds he got the shit kicked out of him and they hurled him back into the crowd. Ahh,those were the days. Needless-to-say they're banned from every venue around the country now. Pity.
I love semi-sentient posts that drip of pretension, class condescension and general all-round dung beetle stupidity. 'Thee'? What are you, a Biblical scholar or something? Hilariously sad. 'Severely inarticulate spastic opposite'? Opposite of WHAT? Why so inarticulate? Why the obsession with 'spastics, ie 1980s insults? Somebody's got a chip on his shoulder and a chimp in his clothes. Worthless saprophytes like you are the reason I hate most of the inhuman disgrace human race. Evolve or die.
Victorian Squire...your attempt at non-PC humour and politrix and cuntery is sad and laughable and vaguely funny. But nocunt takes you seriously. I hope.
fuck off you no mark..i listened to this years ago when people could clearly see this was tounge in cheek..i have not turned into some sexist ,rascit ,bigot..no i,m happily married with child.
So dont analyse people from that era..we knew where we we comin from and what was carictuture for that era..were you adult in the late 80s?.if fuck off prick
Erm...., sorry pal. You come across as a liberal and severly inarticulate spastic opposite. You might want to stick to gossip columns and such in Gay mags or such bitchy arse spastic lickings in the lasses rags. But your spelling and grammer is frankly of a mongoloid quality. I doubt if these queers would take thee on. Stick to thee day job. Face it, thee is working class and shite.
Bet you've been one of those nutters that goes out to shag the fattest & ugliest out there haven't you hmmm? come on you've gotta own up! Craziest posting!
