Not at all mate. I know the guy personally and I can tell you here is not a Nazi sympathizer. Plus Nazis don't salute with clenched fists.

@Jahson70

Holocaust did not happen. Read the links on my profile.

[dalippy]

At one min and nine seconds it looks like the bloke is giving a right wing facist racist type salute?

Ah Jay I wasn't talking about style I was talking about whats in the heart,.

[Humanpunk77]

I meant any proper sharp/trojan skins are still into it as in no nazis knocking about. It's whats in the heart that counts. Some great pics there alright.

[genfx303]

Jay - Is some of them pix from that free 'Thompson Twinns' gig in St Stephen's Green. ?

[Jahson70]

@genfx303 Thompson Twins??? Somehow I doubt it but heck you never know Skinheads back then were known to crash any party that they deemed worthy on the night :D

[vontopskint]

@genfx303 yep that was the gig in the green alright with Dodger getting wound up by some dodgy support act hothouse flowers shouting over the mike ' just because you are skinheads it doesnt make you tough'. I think, mind you i was a wee bit tiddly. Meself and Frank the Punk from Bluebell heard the Thompson Twins the night before as they practiced in a disused warehouse near Bluebell. We sneaked in and got kicked out by security. They didnt mind the punk but near shit bricks when the seen a skin

@vontopskint - Nice1, I knew it... ha-haaaaa! .... (thanks for that) :-) Aint it a pitty we don't have a slot in our heads to 'output' these memories to a hardcopy. hmmmmmm, on second thoughts, prob just as well we do-in't.

[llokkee]

@genfx303,Yes mate ur rite,some of them are from that gig & the guy at 2:48 is Dodger after gettin smashed over the head with a bottle by one of the bouncers at the front of the stage.About 6-7 skins had just waded into the crowd mid gig and started dancin around when one of the 'twins' shouted U think ur tuff cuz ur skinheads.Dodger charges the stage,gets bottled,the other skins start killn all round them..it was gas how the crowed screamed & ran in fear!

I went & shaved my head the next day!

[gamerguy666xxx]

my cousin's friend seamus is from ireland. he said told me in the 80's back then it was the good days for skins. nowadays if you're a skin you get slapped with a nazi label. fuck nazis

[Jahson70]

@Humanpunk77 There was only a very few real skins then if that's the case. But then you could argue that merely dressing like a Skin never made you one either.

[Humanpunk77]

@Jahson70. I meant any proper sharp/trojan skins are still into it as in no nazis knocking about. It's whats in the heart that counts. Some great pics there alright.

[Humanpunk77]

@Jahson70

I didn't mention dress style being rude is in the heart. I know you and you were grand. What I meant was the so called skins never looking back or going to another gig. No offence meant.

[Hibbo1966]

Ha,some great memories,in a couple of them photos myself..lots of old mates there.

[WarMaiden88]

Hey Loughie, i wonder what ever happened to those photo's he took, some classic times for sure..
