The Damned - Smash It Up

[BigishJim1]

what exactly started all that?

[meishel2008]

Interesting, this was from the year my sister was born :) I could dance to it!

[EYESlikeSIN]

Those sneaky english bastards!!! haha I love the damned! Without a doubt, my favorite english punk band. I'm not a huge fan of the early english punk scene, (Definitley a New York guy) but the Damned are great, they didn't play cookie cutter punk at all. They added some goth into the mix and inspired alot of great bands. As for the Offspring's version, I mean its not bad and I don't think that they are a bad band, but it really doesnt compare to this version,,,,

[LJGLJG2]

First time I heard this I was 14 years old and Offspring played it. When I hit 18 I learned it was by the Damned and I can say now that the original is by far the best.

[Aqualung71]

This is just awful, can't even understand the words.

[thedoubleaxe]

fuck the offspring stupid poser bullshit

[ILoveRebecka]

omg horrible :P Offsprings remake owns this... but I guess I should thank them for this because if they wouldnt make this song Offspring would probably not play it (A)

[JoeKersten]

Oh yes, they are soooo not cool lol! Like OMG!!! They are nothing as good as Offspring and my fav Fall Out Boy, and My Chemical Romance!

Fuck off you wanker.

[snicka69]

the only thing the offspring "own" are huge fucking houses in Orange County paid for, by the likes of you. I can see him waving at Mischa Barton, on his porch as he picks up his morning paper and discusses the low pay out he recieved from his General Motors shares.

[julieanddavid]

if you look it up it says 1979 stoopid cow

what year did offspring do it erm like 28 years later was it

1979 the damned erm still going Very strong

[lizardale]

rat scabies!

[Syntheatre]

Really love the Damned, ever since the first time I found one of their records -live shepperton 1980-.

And just four days ago, I finally came to witness one of their live shows. Damn, they became even better over the years. Without any swelling of heads. Can't say that about most bands...

[justasheeple111]

This is Punk-Rock! Not that Oi! mohawk harcore shit! I thank all those fuckers for changing my life as a kid and making me who i am today.

[maxwellmurder911]

[Psychoska777]

that'S why we say "77 Punk Rock" to talk about it

And Hardcore Punk and Oi! is Punk Rock and Punk Rock is just rock'n'roll

[54spiritedwill54]

[bilebeast]

They NEED to tour with motorhead again! the bassist's T-shirt reminded me of how kickass their colaborative cover of ballroom blitz was.

[brodyramone70]

[rankbadjin]

[azbest23]

[tcbkp77]

[gangstable]

I love the chorus in this song, that riff and that beat go so well

[Drumguy4]

[Guernseyisland]

He sucked the blood out of music as we knew it, until it was dead.

[JerkerTheJerk]

Indeed, FUCK YEAH!

[HatochBlod]

Greatest 77-punkband ever

[edgeindance]

They were great, but what about Television Personalities or Sham 69?

[electricityscapes]

fucking awesome

[geoduncan]

I met them in a fish'n'chip shop near the Playhouse Edinburgh in the early 80's. They were playing that night. Some total halfwit of a bouncer tried to refuse THEM entry a couple of hours before the gig... a sore face was rightfully handed out!... fuckin great times.... :)

[poeteop]

and rightly so....seen them at the apollo on the other side ......a few times billyboy

[Websters52]

h=i have this dvd

[Umlauta]

Funny to think that back in the day this song was so "anarchic" that it was banned from radio play. Times certainly change. Vanian's too cool.

[balloonbanger]

I thought it sucked.

[flydarling]

Couldn't figure out why they looked so young (these guys are older than me) then realised my appreciation began 28 years ago. In my heart I'm still the same too. Thanks for posting this, Lesley

[ukproletariat]

Theyre still going strong, with a whole new generation of fans, see our vids with Dan playing guitar with the legends.

[althread]

All you had to be in the Damned was a complete nutter. What a great band!

[yellowcard12]

This is real punk Rock...Fuck yeah!!!!
