The Damned - Grimly Fiendish

[67theraven]

Always loved The Damned 17 at the time of this recording oooh nostalgia

I think I know why the vocals sound so awful.. this is a LIVE performance, and they are not using ear monitors. therefore, they can't hear their own voices. we are hearing the feed directly from the microphones.. not the ROAR of the crowd. This is why many vocalists such as Simon LeBon wear very large and obvious monitors in their ears.

[AxeNewkill]

I LOVE the video for this song.. it is one of my alltime favorites... BUT, in this live version, the vocals SSSSUUUUUUCCCKKKK!

[CoxandTanfield]

I always thought this sounded a bit like a Madness song. Excellent

this was at the damned 10th anniversary gig - filmed for the whistle test 'all nighters' they had for a couple of years - hopefully i still have the full gig on vhs in the basement (if the damp hasnt got hold of it) - plus others like echo and the bunnymen etc from same era - if its worth doing for people i will dig em out!!!

[CircusOfHeaven]

i think that the performance of this at the errr Whistle Test programe was slightly better:)

[nickytanner]

the damned are fab this song is fab but this version is a bit too 'pop'

[hartmusc]

I thought it was a cover of a Madness track when I first heard it.

But, along with Madness, they always struck me as people who are having a laugh, and know how to take-the-piss.

[Angusismyhero]

@hartmusc I think they based in on Madness' style deliberately. I know what you mean!

[verejna]

The Damned is just the best they´just diferrent...I love their songs....it´s something for my ears

My apologies to Roman Jugg for mispelling his surname on my previous comment.

I think that this is an excellent live perfomance of 'Grimly Fiendish'. Guitarist Roman Jug always reminds me of Rush's Geddy Lee.
