The greatest band in the world.

[blairbooth]

Jerry Sadowitz who appeared in Terry Hall's Terry Blair&Anouchka's video of Ultra Modern Nursery Rhymes, complained that this video infringed his copyright,

I removed Jerry and replace his appearance with graphic animation. It's taken 5 months!

Although angry with Jerry, I am also grateful because, I would have never learned Adobe After Effects and animation.

Jerry's replaced by a number of colourful characters! Marc Bolan even makes an appearance! Bet he won't complain??!

[ovotestes]

Sick bass player. Horace has influenced my own personal style for miles.

[HereIsTheSexPistolsX]

[jaymcgeo]

"Concrete jungle" housing estates fucking shit holes

[alpiarts]

Fucking great performance & music !

I love them since ever...

[THALIDO]

What a tight band!!! Makes you want to Moonstomp!!!

[Cropsgrinder]

In the non live version, what is it that they're singing/shouting in the beginning?

[vieuxchat]

well i really don't know, sorry ! If anyone can give us the answer ?...

[Cropsgrinder]

fast answer ftw? :o

[felipescalador]

probably 'specials' ta tat ta 'specials' ta ta ta

[NineShagnasty]

To Cropsgrinder:

The opening chant on the studio version is "You're going home in a f*ckin' ambulance"

There's also a "You're gonna get your f*ckin' head kicked in" version.

Anyone got that America TV Gangsters vid?

Think it was from a chat show but it was pulled a coupla months back.....i miss it. :(

[theselector]

@Cropsgrinder We used to do this song with a band & we'd sing: "John's gonna have a nasty accident" But it sounds more like "John's going home with a nast accident"......I've got the lyrics in the garage BUT it's too cold to go out....& watching the World Cup...mayb 2mrw...

[Leestoners]

i know horace played a Telecaster Bass, dont know if its being played in this, sounds great though.

[privatehelluk]

Fantastic performance! Any bass buffs out there know how Horace achieves his bass tone?

[NineShagnasty]

It looks like a Fender Jaguar, probably flat-wound string and plumbed into a Marshall/Fender valve amp.

Fantastic sound, fantastic bassline!

....and fantastic bassist/performance etc, etc

[roddy76to86]

Sir Horace to you !

[hick4]

I live in Coventry, my dad went to Lynval Golding's flat in Cheyslemore years ago with his friend to do some songs or summin, Lynval didn't really have any money left from his time in the specials, so he just lived in a rubbish flat xD

[NineShagnasty]

Ah they don't make 'em like they used to....pure class!

[barniello]

yes they have reformed on a tour and that, there on about a new record aswell, but that will only be good if dammers rejoins as he was the brains behind all of the songs etc, my mates uncle is neville staples he told me the other week they were reforming but didnt say if dammers was joining

[oldschool619619]

Umm are you sure about this because neville staples is touring with the beat and terry hall some time play with the dub pistols. I hope they are its about time.

Maybe the mods will come back with it all aswell so lad fire up thought LAMBRETTAS/VESPAS

[gokings28]

There is no Specials without Hall & Dammers.

No Hall/Dammers, no Specials.

[AudioJihad]

It was confirmed over a month ago, the specials are indeed reforming.

[glassbreaker5791]

i just wish there would be more info about it. i wonder if they'll still sound as great...

[WARWICKGATES]

They have just reformed with complete original line up.I live ten miles from Coventry

[donal56]

[donal56]

[ZigZagWanderer]

Especially live, it's live music without comparison.

[nassierkhan]
