Spear of Destiny - The Wheel

[johneley100]

looks good sounds good he had it all the uk best song writer hes way up there

[MrHaggis03]

Another British band that never got the recognition they deserved.

[punkylass]

Hauntingly beautiful.

[AQUAVIVARIA]

Why D Fk Did Kirk Eva Drop Laskel TOP SAX MA NIGGA X X X

[CONSIDERABLYMORE1]

@AQUAVIVARIA Is that you Lascelles Sir??? Take a bow my friend!!!

[mahatmacoatmahandbag]

@AQUAVIVARIA cause Brandons ego got the best of him again.he fired Lascelles after this cause of the sax stomping bit for upstaging him.

[CONSIDERABLYMORE1]

Its also worth recalling the politically correct moronic music press, led by the astonishingly arrogant NME, tried to dismiss this band as racist and fascist due to the band name's links with the Nazi party (Hitler obsessed about the Spear of Destiny and tried to find it). I think the presence of Lascelles proves how bitter and twisted the music scribes of the 80s were.

[CONSIDERABLYMORE1]

a magnificent song, full of intensity and tenson - one of my fave SOD numbers. The sax player btw is the extraordinarily talented performer Lascelles James I believe.

[rileyrmfc1]

[roblemon67]

Remembrance anyone? Used to be on here.

[nogingerfool]

[AQUAVIVARIA]

[Yugguy1970]

Me too. Now shut up and listen to the music.

[Rawlinson18]

I'd love to pour a bottle of washing up liquid down that sax

[nodge1000]

this is one where he smashed fuck out of the guitar at the end!

[Rawlinson18]

@nodge1000 Nice one.

[Yugguy1970]

Don't be a spacktard, it's meant to sound rough.

[Rawlinson18]

@Yugguy1970 blow bubbles pal

[Yugguy1970]

That was an epic rejoinder almost Shakesperian in its poetic resonance.

Not.

[Rawlinson18]

@Yugguy1970 Gutted.

[carefreecrow]

great SOD

[bankrobber]

Cool bastards or what, i just watched the wheel clip from spanish tv and the 2 sax players can't compete with the guy playing sax in this clip, his brilliant.

[yuryiodizadebee]

spot on absolutely agree

[funkeebassman]

@bankrobber

Lascalles James is great, he's a really nice guy too. This was the best line up....by far!

[JASON77451]

went dodgy in the same place just before the end, got it from some bloke in record collector.............ahh to be young and have hair! .

Thanks for bringing back the memories, i still go and spear/toh now they'll be touring again in septaember !

[bowbergene]

Didn't they do 'The Preacher' on the same show? My VHS is long gone but please post if I'm right, cheers.

[iamatwat]

[wulleymunkee]

[wulleymunkee]

[savy1234]

Yeah, please do!

[iamatwat]

good god Wulley

I never knew about this lot at the time but I remember this performance. because I videoed it on my clunky VHS video by accident. Replayed it and then REWIND waas the only word i knew! Went onto see them over 50 times. Still play them now inlcuding the latest stuff. Oh for SWITCH. And a few weeks later they showed an "additional" track: "Remeberance" they called it. Turned into "Young Men", my fabe song of all time. Cheers for reading my ramblings. But u2 r obv a fan.

[iamatwat]

at long last pssyche has posted "Rememberance" and i can stop plaguing you all. put the following into the search bit on YT and you have the original live tv version of Young Men,nay, "Rememberance", its the last track on the clip:
