[shredmaster100]

[SCOTFRE3]

Instantly puts me in mind of Johnny Depp in the Libertine

[xcena]

[bigSimpsons73]

He looks like my math teacher!

[LvK138]

And one of those girls grew up to be... Alice Cooper.

[DemirCanberk]

I cant believe this dude was MP on a political party..

WW 2 has changed the world too much...

[mickeymousebiker1]

Long before The Oz, Alice, and Marylin. He should have made a run for the office of PM.

[mickeymousebiker1]

Ah... Screaming Lord Sutch and His Heavy Friends.

[TheMoonunit13]

Is this the child catcher from Chitty chitty Bang Bang?

[SoyBoySigh]

The Mighty Boosh? What year was this from? History repeatin'....

[TheGypsyKing33]

whodve thought people would be doing music like this for real 20 years later (GOTH)?

[mdchoc13]

@TheGypsyKing33 All modern music is pre-dated when you think about it! Mc-5= Punk, Screamin Jay Hawking+ shock rock and of coarse what you said!

[DominickFontana]

Great video. Thanks for uploading it.

[alastairjr40]

First Punk Rocker...

[clarkewi]

[Aniva66]

[yerfc66]

i see where alice cooper, king diamond and ozzy got thier routine.

[mytube8u]

@yerfc66 Also worth noting , Richie Blackmore was in his band , [ lord such ] , would of been Richies first big gigs , you can read this in Richies first guitar player magazine [ him on the cover ] , Lord such was an excentric , that actually made it into British Government , one of his outrageous ideas was to put all the young people on the dole , onto a giant treadmill to generate electricity !!!!!! , this is fact .

[JawboxKoppelganger]

Will do, for this classic!

[BagpipeHustler]

what influence did this have on Arthur Brown? Alice Cooper or The Damned & after that for the matter?

[TheTakarata]

when was this performance?

[MrGb4ever]

We have an Alice Cooper wanna be!

[zangeejoe]

@MrGb4ever i think it the other way around...he long before alice

[MrGb4ever]

[bangtwister]

Great clip , he played Portsmouth must have been early 90's at 'Jimmys'. I still got his £1 note with maggies head on it. A true legend.

[TheWhitehall]

The one and only.....The Good Screaming Lord David Such....friend of The King [Elvis] and best PM we never had!!!

[jrjina]

Screaming Lord Sutch = Great sixties horror music! I like it!

Bye, George from Czechoslovakia

[mikeyquaint]

this guy was the inspiration for them all: KISS, SEX PISTOLS, MARILYN MANSON...poor guy was ahead of his time.... but thus a legend.

[honestbutugly]

@mikeyquaint seems to me hes the pat boone to screamin jay hawkins, only one can be the origional thing to intentionally scare white parents.(little richard doesnt count, cause he was intentionally scaring, lol)

[oldpaw]

His backing group, The Savages, were a top rock and roll band. Seem to remember them opening with 'Great balls of fire' in Wantage round about 1964. Tragic that he took his own life a few years ago. Rock on Dave Sutch.

[DarthTaiKwan]

taht scared the heloutta mee!!

[usernamessucksomuch]

great video!

i love it

[michelesaintthomas]

Merci beaucoup pour le post!!!

[ezkurd100]

Jack the Ripper, are not you so ugly. I think he is one very handsome :D

[MrHarleyoldfart]

brilliant!!

[JacobDeadman]

horror punk before punk was even though of

[madcapromanian]

This guy must be the original inspiration for Marylin Manson.

[Sirscorps]

@madcapromanian The original Alice Cooper

[2100Rose]

Pitty you don't have the whole of this vidio . I remeber seeing it on TOTP2 . Never realised he was a singer up until then . Since bought the single costing my £12.00

[ajaku]

I'd kill to see them live around this time. It looks like a total blast.

[giornata]

@ajaku I saw Screaming Lord Sutch at the Empire Hall, Totton, UK, in about 64/65. When he burst onto the stage waving his knife around, at least six girls fainted--crashed straight down on the floor.

[kimon93]

0:35 lol

[sambda]

I see people are searching for the longer version of this clip. I have put it up on my channel. Search for the song title or sambda, and enjoy!

[sambda]

If you search for "jack the ripper sambda" it's the first one that comes up.

[laurahippieprospe1]

@sambda got it on my channel laurahippieprospe1 and on facebook, well. Mr. Johnny Winter had the wonderful detail.

[MODTRASH]

Looney!

[hartmusc]

He reminds me, in a nice kind of way, of Dave Vanian from The Damned.

I can see why he went into politics :)

[A310fan]

I was thinking the same thing! Dave must have copied him!

[CupisHomines]

My god. He reminds me of Danny Devito as the Penguin.

[Janterrydee]

I see that You tube has taken down the longer version of this yet again !!!! what is going on?

[CupisHomines]

Why was this comment aimed at me? I don't see any relevance to anything I said.

[Janterrydee]

Sorry CupisHomines I pressed the wrong button!! a senior moment, i'm allowed them now, ( I am the only blond sitting in the front row in this 1964 video, I was 15 at that time) !!!!

[CupisHomines]

@Janterrydee  So did ya get to see the bettle too?

[CupisHomines]

@CupisHomines  Oops. Sorry. I meant "beatles". I'm typing in the dark. Literally.

[Janterrydee]

Yer, afraid so!!! been in their dressing room & the Rolling Stones dressing room too ..... just to get the autographs ofcourse !!

[systemqueen226]

@Janterrydee That's really really cool

[wellyes]

@Janterrydee

does anyone have the long version of this? Ive been looking for 5 years. I have the Joe Meek BBC doc but really really want this.

[Janterrydee]

Would love a copy of the BBC doc. I expect you know the BBC doc was filmed in 1964, this video being filmed on 29 Sep 1964 at the Lotus club Forest Gate. It was shown on BBC2 on Fri 23 April 1965, not having BBC2 at that time I never saw the doc. The longer versoin of this video was used on Top of the Pops 2 and put out on 9 Nov 1996. So keep your fingers crossed perhaps the BBC will put it on a TOTPs DVD at some time!!!!! let me know if you find it,

[alexandryte]

@CupisHomines HAHAHAH you RIGHT !!!

[patrat2000]

I love this guy. Try some Screaming Jay Hawkins. They could be best friends. I would love to see them as late night televisin spook show hosts.

[ragtimemarkbirnbaum]

excellent-

thx

[TheSENTENZZIA]

bestial!!!!

[foshowfauxshow]

Way ahead of his time ...stage performance for that time was so beyond the mainstream, man I love this guy.

[2100Rose]

Wish we had the whle vidio of this up here . Saw it on TOTP2 back in 1996 . Never knew he was a singer .

[lordi13nl]

i am 13 year old i loe this shit this is so old i love it

[pazzensutra]

That was great! He must have had a great time scaring all the pretty chicks in the front.

[cgl51]

jjaja se asustan las muchchas xD haha

[ilikeyouallot]

i love this vid, he's having all d FUN of d wrorld

[2100Rose]

Saw the whole version of this on TOTP2 back in 1996 . First time I ever heard it . Good though it is thought the record when I got hold of it sounded different . Like to have the whole version of this performace

[herbherbert]

Interesting to hear how much slower than the recorded version this is.

Often heard that artists hardly recognised their tunes after Joe Meek had finished working on them.

[Janterrydee]

This was filmed on 29th Sep 1964 at the Lotus Club, Forest Gate, London. For BBC2. my friends and I are in the fount row (I am the blonde) . It was put out on DVD in 2005 as part of 'Screaming Lord Sutch (great British legends) by Horror Scope Distributions. Can't find a copy anywhere, can anyone help?

[craigwithington]

You look fantastic, and I'm jealous of you being there. There was a longer version of this up last week but it's been taken down by Youtube due to copywright stuff :(

I can't find it anywhere...

[JTMagnum23]

LORD SUTCH totally underated

[hostiledave]

i am a heavy metal fan and see this as an important step on the path to where we are today. i see screaming lord sutch leading to slipknot through alice cooper.

[markwasthere]

agreed

[skok65]

I was thinking something along those same lines.

[cam6617]

I think this could be when Lord Sutch did a publicity performance at HMV in Picadilly Circus to promote Jack The Ripper

[stingray4real]

Screaming Lord Sutch is featured in the film Telstar.He is played by ex Darkness lead singer Justin Hawkins.

[backinburntcity]

Are you SERIOUS? This film has to fucking come out, everyone I love is in it!

[crazymelon]

It came out the day you posted that comment. Unfortunately, Sutch isn't really featured in the film much.

[backinburntcity]

Oh, so you live in the UK? Did you like the film? I've been keeping an eye on it since it began production a few years ago.

[psychodamned]

Nah Roy Orbison was the Original Goth Rocker !!

Black, Black, Black n doomed. Sutch was one suave fucker Though !!

[Wellveryinteresting]

Not only the original Goth Rocker, but also the original Shock Rocker! (He even predates the Beatles & Beatlemania).

[regios4ever]

i love how the girls scream when he gets near them, it's kinda cute and innocent i guess lol

[BlankGeneration11]

I love this guy so so much, thanks for the upload.

[libmike123]

this is awesome i didnt think id ever see a live one of him

[LukusDimitrius]

Btw people, save this video if you can. It had been deleted from youtube when I found it, so if all you can keep it going then it's better for all of us!!!

[mdgarmager]

I second that! I used to watch this all the time on YouTube and then it vanished. This is one of the greatest videos I have ever seen. I love it more than my own children! Thanks for posting it again, friend.

[2kool4skewl77]

you're the bees knees for posting this!<3

[LukusDimitrius]

Cheers, it needed to be posted!!! I'm happy that as many people are as happy to see this on youtube as i am!

[ciranno]

@2kool4skewl77 "BEES KNEES??" LOL

[33388665599]

This was the birth of Goth Rock! no lie

[ivysatana]

doesn't matter if he stole something from screaming jay hawkins cuz the music is very different and they are BOTH great (plus screaming jay was more of a voodoo jungle preist and screaming lord was more of a murdering ghoul..)

[markwasthere]

ya think alice cooper was a fan of this guy?

[JailWeddings]

dude rules

[sonicjay007]

he does! and your band are amazing too~cheers~

[hebneh]

The girls' reactions make this all worthwhile. Too bad we didn't have anybody like this in the USA at that time.

[riboflavin138]

what about screamin jay? :o

[kiely]

apparently "The Lord" has said that he was "insired" by Screamin' Jay Hawkins and his stage persona. Sutch stole both his name and most of his act from Hawkins stage antics like rising from a coffin at the beginning of show to props like skulls and daggers. Hawkins, unlike Sutch, had a long career with several hits ... "Put a Spell on You" was released when "The Lord" was 16.

[cellistoman]

I saw him do this at St George's Hall, Whyke, in 1963. He was crap really, but you had to warm to a bloke who started his act rising from a coffin with a toilet seat round his neck. Most acts were still terribly clean-cut at that time, and one longed for a bit of disgustingness. The band were very good, but most of their material wasn't up to much. I bought Jack the Ripper, and I'm A Hog For You, very good.

[dogsbreath101]

He set fire to the stage one night burning an effigy of Cliff. Freddie 'Fingers' Lee was the business.......great times.

[psychodamned]

Look's like Dave Vanian !!! Maybe he's, he's Dad !!

[inkey2]

wow this dude looks like he could have influenced Alice cooper or M. manson

[Smudgefizz]

He did influence Alice Cooper, who in turn influenced Manson. Screaming Lord Sutch was probably the first shock rocker, but Sutch also copied the black R & B musician Screaming Jay Hawkins - the name obviously, & the coffin gimmick. Hawkins also used to perform with a skull, but his music was more R & B, & tongue in cheek..

[LuluBomber]

Yeah i know! Thats when i last saw it! :D

heh thanks again! this is a treasure!

[LuluBomber]

OHH MY GODDD!!!!!! Thank you for uploading this video!! i havent seen it in a long time!!!

[LukusDimitrius]

Lol 'tis, ok. Glad you appreciate it! It used to be on youtube ages ago but it got deleted, it took me a while to find it again but I thought it deserved to be on here :)

[SirBasildeBrush]

love it

[plautus11]

Yea, this is definitely 1963, some years before Paul McCartney died in car accident.

[percythepiggo]

Shame that's only part of it! ... I've got the whole thing on videotape. I recorded it from TOTP2 or something similar, years ago. Some of the girls are really scared! It looks like around 1963 to me.

[ForARide]

How about uploading it then?

[percythepiggo]

I would have done so already if I knew how to! I've been trying to find out how to upload from a VHS tape both on youtube and the net. I suspect I need some new hardware which I can't afford at the moment unless it's cheap. The other problem is that my TV set died not long ago ... I bought a very cheap one as a stop-gap, but it doesn't play tapes. I've got various old stuff recorded.

[Ianpbx]

If your graphics card has an input socket, you should be able to connect this to your VHS player output. There should be some free capture software available on a downloads site.

[percythepiggo]

Thanks - my graphics card is a Radeon 9550, and I'm fairly sure it has an input socket. I'll need to buy a cable to connect it to the VCR.

[Ianpbx]

I just looked at the spec for your Radeon 9550card. It has three connectors - a VGA 15 pin, a DVI 29 pin, and an S-video output. From this it appears that the S-video is the third one, but it says it's output, so you should check to see whether there is an input feature there. If not, I imagine you will have to get either a seperate graphics card, a USB capture device, or, if you have an analogue TV card, feed your VCR output into the aerial socket of the TV card.

[PeterVonRock]

Hey percythepiggo - how does it goes with the upload connections? We really want to see the rest of this fantastic clip.

[percythepiggo]

Sorry - it's still on the back burner - been too busy lately ... you will get to see it eventually!

[ForARide]

Yeah percythepiggo, what´s up man? We´re dying to see it!

[ddgregoryy]

It may be all that survives For, I seen it on the BBC & it was no longer than this.

[quadrophenia73]

Is that Carlo Little on drums?

[PAULLONDEN]

Alice Cooper took good notice....

claiming to be the first villain in Rock./

[SpookOfHearts99]

That's a good point actually!

I read somewhere the Sutch sued Alice for ripping him off, but it may have been bogus info.

[jaunjote]

Excellente, si tuvieras el video completo xD subelo. Gracias

[Burnbandit]

These people would have had nightmares for yonks!
