That's not Rat on drums, it's Pinch, he's good and he's got Rat's style down pretty good but he still ain't Rat. Hasn't got the power or the speed. One of the better performances of the post-Rat line ups though.
when did vanian start to sound like tears for fears las vegas crooner stylee??? still love the damned though coz i remember them in their prime when they meant it.
This is the best performance of this song I've ever seen. Even better than when I saw them, and I thought that blew my mind. This is one of their best songs.
As always The Damned deliver....just a small point the drummer is now Pinch and not too shabby he is either check out the fill at 1min 15 secs. If you haven't had a chance to see this line-up I recommend a view asap in 2008.
I remember seeing the damned in milton keynes with 2 of tHE Ramones playing guitar on top of some 15 foot tall speakers at either side of the stage. Always estupendously goooood
the reason why the DAMNED have lasted so long is as follows:1 they can play. 2 it's not too serious. 3 they cross all music genres,ie dave vanian has a new romantic voice,captain is a looney,rat scabies is a heavy metal drummer.put it altogther and you get the perfect punk band.

This is a stunning composition. They are such good song writers and performers, so under rated.

The DAMNED transcend the subjectivity of taste. They are the best, hands down!
