What sets SLF apart from most other bands is the songs actually mean something. What you see is what you get and as a fan I know I ain't gonna be lied to or fucked around.
saw the fingers 3 times round bout 1989-92 i think, at the barrowlands, fucking amazing, im a clash fan but they 3 shows fucking knackered me, always have a place for the fingers, try n get to see them again in october
I've seen these guys about four times and they never fail to put on a good show. They usually play the Empire in Belfast at Christmas. The songs have stood the test of time and they still get 40 somethings pogoing in front of the stage at concerts :)
The last 30 years sure has flown...................:(
pier23ca....you are still a baby for to talk about SLF...and i dont care even if you are 100 years old...so u better look,learn and grow up a little...

There shirts/tops are tighter in the 70's. They're slower/pauchieer/sadder in this posting, as opposed to '79. Then again, they will die soon. Brilliant song. Sad times that brough it about.
It's funny these "My band is better than yours" diatribes ... considering that that kind of me-ist attitude isn't even in the spirit of punk for one thing, and both those bands respected each other, duh. Start contributing something to the world instead of being a negative person and you'll be more on Joe's wavelength for real, instead of being ... shock horror, a poser :)
I saw Strummer in 2001 or so when he came to DC with the Mescaleros. His rendentious of Clash songs were fine, but no comparison to vids I've seen of Clash circa 1979. The advantage the Clash had was that their songs are actually interesting on their own.
SLF were a decent punk band, but only playing punk music, which requires speed and some aggression.
Poseurs? I love The Clash, but to call SLF poseurs is a bit ridiculous, especially having The Police on you list of favorites. And I think Strummer would roll over in his grave having you mention his name in connection to the "good lord".
Cheers, "pier23ca" for your incisive critique of my career. I hope to get the chance to do the same for yours one day. Remind me again. who are you and what do you do ? Oh, and your real name would be nice.
G'day Jake. Next time you are coming over to Australia, please come to Perth. Saw From the Jam earlier this year and the only thing that would have topped it would have been seeing you guys live in Australia when you were here. Miss not being at Barrowlands For St. Paddy's day every year. Ah well - just have to make do with the sun and cold beers :-)
fuck all the new punk shit, they don't compare to a legend as grande as STIFF LITTLE FINGERS! Fuck green day in the ass, they have nothing on any great band!
Green Day Kerplunk @ 1039 Smooth are awesome albums, so are the SLF first three albums, along with everything King Crimson has done. Even Yes has at least 7 great albums. Private Dicks have an LP coming out on rave up records, Shes say's go, Green is in the red, two of the best tunes ever. Blink 182 suck, I'll agree to that.
i saw them in the 7ts, they are the best. I don´t want to sound boring but there are no other bands writing songs like slf (or Buizzcocks, Clash, Pistlos, Undertones aso..) today. Green Day is an exeption they are quite cool even if they stole Basket Case from The Boys (UK mod band from the past century)
oh I saw the "GO-GO'S too .You gonna beat me up for that too.Or how about THE "BANGLES" they played with "WHITE FLAG" whose been around since the begining
Damn! I was at this show. It was the TLA, right?

Your mention of my favorites list is a Non-Sequitor -- irrelevant to Stiff Little Fingers as poseurs.
This holds the same to your nerdy false claim about what Joe Strummer would do.
Oh, and corpses rot and do not roll.
