[oldpunkster]

OMG I havent heard these guys in years....forgot how great they were!!!!

jack the riper

[bobgreen623]

Nothing can stop these men

[smokeemonkee]

damiongoodpaster just doesn't get it. He has obviously never heard of Link Wray and doesn't like rock and roll. I'd rather this one single by itself than his entire music collection.

This is from 1984. Do a check on what was popular during 1984 then it's easy to see that this was the antidote.

[damiongoodpaster]

this really sucks. seriously, there`s not a million highschool kids in their first band making better music than this? 42,000 hits? jesus christ.

[SurferRedneck]

@damiongoodpaster : and most of those highschoolers will never be near the caliber of artist that Billy Childish continues to be to this day. Don't be too quick to judge a book by this cover (pun intended).

[motorvating]

@damiongoodpaster

You obviously know nothing about music, to make a statement like that. Billy childish is a musical genius, and before you post rubbish you should listen and learn, and in this case you should learn about Link Ray.

[johnbarry1965]

@motorvating Learn to spell Link Wray!!!!!

[motorvating]

@johnbarry1965

Fuck off wanker, just a typo 

[TheMaxlow]

@damiongoodpaster Billy childish never went to high school haha

[MsGORGONS]

John's got Wilkins framus bass?? How come?

[lambrettist2007]

Nothing Can Stop These Men!!!

[hugs1705]

LINK WRAY!!

[wastelandnumberseven]

Link Wray's version is so much better

[L0K3]

can someone help me out. In the late 80\s a friend made me a tape of the Milkshakes and The Prisoners Live At the IPC or something club. Anyone remember and if they have it post up on you tube please. Cheers x

[evertonio]

@L0K3 You may be thinking of the Canterbury album/bootleg that was released on 1986. Think it was called the Live Split album.

[findalefinnie]

[PoireauMan68]

I tghink I had that exact same bass for a while...maybe it was this one...which originally belonged to Russ?? I bought it from a guy at the pawn shoppe in ANGEL...then the bass never really worked , the pick up was duff I know no its cos' JOHN AGNEW had played some Link Wry with it it conked out...maybe it was this bass I bought at the shoppe...I fookin' sold it ain't I? I sold it to daiv for 250n Sterling like a fool...BOLLIX...it was such a good bass! (even the PU was dead)

[PoireauMan68]

This is known as THE GRETSCH YEARS when Billy could afford a real guitar and stopped playing on toy instruments!

[andina26]

Best thing to come out of Chatham since Richard Dadd (1817)

[annebarber]

Billy could strum my guitar.

[PoireauMan68]

I'm sure he would be interested in your instrument...(erm)

[NRVERTAKEMEALIVE]

Great live band , i was at this gig it was the garage, nottingham, my patch, i remember this rockabilly dude we called wing nut forcing his way to the front and the lead singinger when spotting him said " your Fucking brave coming down the front with tabs that fuckin size" oh we laughed, he fucked off to the back soon after. nice one!

[shergold]

Excellent vid of classic Billy Childish.

[HoGraz]

This song was originally done by Link Wray who also did the Batman theme song.

[humpterthompson]

[princealbertrock77]

poor Link Wray....

[jamesbarclay5]

Christ I remember this gig, was at the Garage wasn't it? Billy called the audience a load of "fackin pit ponies."

[motorcityrocker]

It's great. Hats off!to everyone putting cool stuff like the Milkshakes vids up.

[TimBarel]

does anyone knows what kind of guitar it is? who billy played?

[BleskyAStromy]

It's an early 60's Gretsch Duo Jet, double cutaway model. He ALWAYS plays the coolest, oddball guitars, doesn't he?

[BashBrand]

Nice One!

Hasty bananas,

Bruce

[MarkMullally]

As Mr Bruce Brand might say, "Nice One!"

[MediaStarz]

Boy this takes me back to garage gigs seeing Milkshakes and their support The Prisoners so many times. Anyone got some Ambassadors of Love footage, After School Sessions Album still played regularly all these years on.

[BobC1965]

Great to see a rare Milkshakes clip of this vintage, though they were 100 times better on a good night than you'd ever guess from this. Any more songs from this (or any other) gig?

[BobC1965]

Great to see a rare Milkshakes clip of this vintage, though on a good night they were 100 times better than you'd guess from watching this. Shame it's only an instrumental too. Any other songs recorded from this or any other gig?

[exproggo]

Who's that? Bob from The Dentists by any chance?

[BobC1965]

Yes it certainly is

[exproggo]
