This man was punk before it began: short spiked hair, ripped 501's, Dunlop Green Flash, battered leather jacket, 'fuck off' riffs, 3 minute, adrenal, amphetamine rock music. He was into Stooges, MC5, New York Dolls & 60's Garage bands when everyone else was into prog and reggae.
No Seditionaries or political posturing: just the real deal: PUNK AS FUCK!
Totally agree mate, he is sooo underated and he should be in the Top guitarists of all time. Not all these other little tossers like the edge etc etc !
Its sad to see that he or the Damned Or The Lords get hardly any recognition : (
Pretty good. For me Damned Damned Damned was the best debut album of the first punk generation, and this guy had a lot to do with it. He deserves more recognition.
brian james the hendrix of punk listen to that tone hes great.glad to see hes still writes great rocknroll love to see him live.definatly a huge guitar influence on me.
simple, straight forward R+R. Don't need to be a literary genius or Berkley grad to be effective. Honestly, these day's don't hear much that's inspiring, VIP is one of those rare few!
This song just keeps growing on me.
