Cliffs right ,the true punk bands like The Police and The Boomtown Rats really brought credibilty to 'New Wave' ha ha.... Fascinating clip tho! I love punk, prog had to die,, sorry man things can't stay the same forever.
@tommyba59 That's actually how I found this video, searching out Harley video bits. I wonder if there is any other footage of him speaking from those days. I really like his honest "I'm not gonna say I get it" angle. 28. Yeesh. Younger than I am now.
If only they all knew what was to come next...the `80`s! So, in a way, we should all be grateful for punk, it led directly to all the washed up, sad nonsense we have now! Long live PROG!

Very interesting, especially the speculation about how punk would influence music in the future.

Though i was only 5 or 6 during the punk era, i was a great time to be alive..even more so in the 80s.

Peter Gabriel says - wait til they turn psychadelic - He was obviously seeing into the Damned's future! Very eerie.

Thanx for this...very interesting. Good to see a young (28!) Steve Harley there too.
Cheers!
