    That's how I looked at things in them days.

  • classic

  • ainciant hisotry the dutch are double because of the cross.

  • Weren't all Ken Dodds second time around (78 79) a bit plastic!!!!!!!!!

    Guys like the Lambrettas just jumped on the gravy train and made a few quid. At least they covered a half decent song.

  • STEVE WRIGHT ON THE TRUMPET ??

  • seen em live (meadow club) nottingham......graet

    

  • I started playing the guitar when she stepped in. I mesured her movements, in metre and in time. Can you imagine the king of heaven? MERCY in heaven, is hell fire in thine eyes? What do you rage against, my child. I rage against my fellow mans indiffernce.

  • I guess Tim Booth from James had to start somewhere.

  • FYI the Bassist for the Lambrettas was Mark Ellis AKA "Flood" who produced Nine Inch Nails' debut album Pretty Hate Machine.

  • the crowd looks very excited......

  • kid jensen a great dj way better than steve wright who allways has something bad 2 say about certain bands

  • Bring back these times!

  • the crowd goes wild!!

  • never under estimate the 'Poison Ivy'

  • R.I.P Jez xx

  • Plastic mods - never had any cred.

  • @lurvebutter How the fuck do you come to that conclusion (plastic mods)?you eother like the music/scene or you don't & these guys certainly looked like they did.

  • @bladesmark1 Because I was a mod in 1980 and me and anyone who took the mod scene seriously thought these guys were a bunch of muppets. What were you doing in 1980?

  • @lurvebutter Well sunshine i myself since 1978 have been into Ska but love the mod scene (same difference) and the Lambrettas were a decent band in my eyes & many of my mates eyes too who were Mods,i suppose its to everyone's fancy really.

  • @bladesmark1:

    Yep, they were allright, the lamrettas - in fact the only reason i went rude, was cus my dad wouldnt let me have a parker.

  • @lurvebutter:

    I was about 10, so i thought this was IT !

    (soz)

  • @lurvebutter what is a plastic mod?

  • @lurvebutter no crd but better than the shite now - give em break

  • There is no Poison Ivy in the UK, and people stopped using Calomine Lotion in the 1950's.

    A lot of punk was just wannabe American '50's Doo-Wap; maybe all of it.

  • @thallassocracy WTF you on about? Time for some more therapy for you sir me thinks

  • lol i fucking love reading all the mods comments on here.

    am i the only one who remembers that the whole mods and rockers thing was a two way street?

    you guys hated rockers skinz and punx as much as we hated you.

    tho i'm gonna be contraversial here and actually say i do like the lambrettas as well as some other bands that would cause me to get my face kicked in by my mates.

  • paul the drummer now owns poole percussion in dorset a awsome drum shop and plays in a shit hot band called torn apart

  • Principios de los ochenta, sala Carolina, Bravo Murillo, Madrid, concierto de los Lambrettas. Suben al escenario, disfrazados de nuevos románticos, cintitas en el pelo incluidas. La sala está llena de mods. Empiezan a tocar y nos damos cuenta de que se han pasado a aquélla moda blandengue. Abucheos, silbidos, caen algunos objetos en el escenario. Por fin entran en razón y comienzan a tocar sus antiguos temas power pop. Bailamos.

  • reminds me of being chased all the way through my town by a bunch of glue faced skins after a Lambrettas concert in Tunbridge Wells. Happy days.

  • High Broom Skins

  • @modwolf63

    and reminds me of the days we were neally beaten up by a group of skin head girls, yeah Happy Days ..... BTW im a girlie not a bloke - lol

  • @modwolf63 Happened to me too. Happy days though. At least back then you just got a few slaps and gave a few back if there wasnt too many of them.

  • @modwolf63 another great track from the lambrettas

  • @modwolf63 Can't have been proper skins then as the skins & mods are practically the same thing.

  • Rack em rack

  • As i said, "I can't really be arsed with you anymore", you're just a waste of my time. I dont call that "backing down", i call it realisation. Realisation that i'm dealing with a prick who does this everyday, with as many people as he can so he can finally feel he has someone to talk to. I just dont have time for you. i have real people to talk to. Why dont you "step out" beyond your spunk covered pc and meet some real friends too?

    Keep up the good work on your English, too many swears though.

  • The utterings of a fool. You know what mate? You're worse than thick, you're just plain stupid. For someone who proclaims to be intelligent you still buy into that vile rhetoric of the BMP shite, and with conviction, you're one creepy fucker if you ask me, and probably quite dangerous to others around you. A cunt like you that revears scum like Nick Griffin can't possibly be taken seriously, i think you know where i'm comeing from on that. Go away and think about it, there's a good lad. Clown

  • Why is your English so full of profanity?

    Is that the only way you can express your anger? Do you feel angry at me, should i call you a Therapist? Ok, you're a Therapist.! lol.

    Perhaps you need to feel appreciated or liked? Did mummy not pay you any attention? Was Daddy out all the time with other ladies and showed you no love? Have i hit a nerve? Jeez laddy, go do something useful with your time. You could start by igniting that Vespa!

    No more responses from me, so fill Your boots waster!

  • Comment removed

  • I too can't really be botherd with cowardly racist shite like you either. Nothing you say is either valid or credible, even when it comes down to what preference of scooter one might have you take a defensive stance, you're a bully, the scooter scene for you is not about haveing a laugh, it's about being nasty, Vespa vs lambretta, grow up FFS and leave people alone why don't choo? I spose it's your sad frame of mind, allways on the defence, insecure and weak. You poor sod. I wish you luck.

  • I must correct your opinions of my political views.

    1. I am NOT a racist..!!

    2. WTF has my political preferences to do with you? You're not even in the same country for christs sake.

    3. I believe you're more a facist than i ever will be. The reason is you simply cant allow me my views(facist attributes if ever there was any).

    4. I'll let you have the "last word". You seem to need it more than i.

  • Seamus, I think Lamvesp has made a twat of you, Id keep shtum If I was as stupid as you!!

  • How very insightful of you. Did it take you long to delve into your very limited vocabulary and fire of those random utterings at me?

    Lets see..1,2..yes, 2 syllables max in those 20 words....not very bright are you?!

    Now as i previously pointed out to Lamvesp. I'm not interested in what you think or why you think it. So, in conclusion. Unless you have anything valid AND pertinent to say, then keep it to yourself.

  • Seamus, touched a nerve did I? hahaha dickhead!! You sound like such a prick!

  • Not at all.

    The only one that looks like a prick is you. Keep the insults coming asswipe. Lol

    I see you've been unable to absorb any words with more than 2 syllables. Keep trying, practice makes perfect.

  • God Bless Jez. If you can get a chance to see The Lambrettas with Doug, doing the vocals, please do. For upto date info on them and other events, join Modzine on facebook, Mark Ellis, Doug Sanders and Paul Wincer have!

  • yeeeah!

    beat boys! the greatest!

    i love this song!

  • Great vid you might be intrested in my new video of The Frontier Batley ,yorkshire Scooter alliance tonydam

  • An amazing version of a great 60's song. But i cannot remember who sang the original?

  • The Coasters

  • Some people should get over themselves and realise YouTube is not the place bring their nastiness/bigotry/prejudice. Just enjoy the videos with everyone else.

  • What i don't get is why you would enjoy spending time watching videos on here and then take offence to the people posting shit comments,ignore em and enjoy the music,Keep the Faith!

  • Mmm ..Thankyou for this wonderful insight, your'e the boy.

  • You are not very clever

  • shut up muppet ur all the same no dress sense shit music no nothing ----- WE ARE THE MODS WE ARE THE MODS WE ARE WE ARE WE ARE THE MODS........

  • Oh, shut up.

  • Oh shut up, you twat. They looked smart, sounded good. I see your name's punk, there's been tons of shitty Punk revivals and people trying to be punk, i.e- Avril. And Punk is one of my favourite music genres. But don't be so bloody stupid, Mods were great. Britain just being...awesome.

  • oh guys...anyone who was a mod at this time knows quite well - these guys were very popular at the time - even for a short time.....cant believe I'm almost 46 years now....and was hopping along with the rest to this...bridgehouse..Canning Town....so fucking cool days....the revival Mod era was fantastic....anyone head to brighton August bank Holiday...i think in 1980?.....all the skins were nabbed, had their laces taken..lol!..great days!

    "Pister Fucking Postman!"

  • Shitcunts. They had absolutly fuck all to do with the scene, even takeing to piss out of scooters.

  • Oh yeah, like any of that revivalist crap was anything to do with the original Mods? From what I remember it was all about crappy little school kids done up in mod drag that their parent bought them for christmas or their birthdays.

  • The worst cunts are the middle aged shitwipes that walk around like nobs trying to be 17 again. They are embarrassing t say the very least. Grow the fuck up you wankers.

  • No age limit on having fun and enjoying yourselves is there?

    The worst Cunts are the cunts like you that think they have a right to tell people what to do and how to do it. Fuck right off and die cunt!

  • Now i'm not likely to take a BNP shitcunt like you seriously am i. What were you thinking you twatty helmet wearing window licking spastic. I hope you find your missus in bed getting fucked up the shitter by a paki you thick cunt.

  • Shut up you embarrassing prick. All fucking mouth and no trousers. I'd rather find the bird in bed with a paki than a cock sucking peado like you.

  • Have you shat in your dungarees again? You have haven't you, you ludicrous spastic 'News of the world' reading shitunt. Trust a stupid thick 'RACIST' bottyboy cunt like you to resort to calling complete strangers paedophiles, too fucking thick to come up with anything else. You're fucking sham mate and you country is going down the toilet. Just accept it and get to fuck.

  • yer fuckin knob......the revival was great you grumpy twat. Most the original mods were fresh outta school or 17-18 yr olds. Anything that keeps the Mod scene alive is good in my eyes. is it cos you were too old to be there you knock it???

  • I'm fucking younger than you are you old cunter. I'm a real scooterist not a cunty wannabee like you, yer fucking spakker. It's shit fer brains like you that give the scooter scene bad name, an infestation of council estate cuntery. You losing no hoper shitwagon. the funniest thing about you is the cuntish sterieo type fuck that you are, i'd be ashamed to be British if you're anything to go by, you're a fucking joke, mate, it was cunts like you that fucked the scene up in the 80s, you fuckpig,

  • Ha ha ha...you are such a dumb fuck. So easy to wind up too.

    Now listen to me...get back to your pc and login to your gay porn or whatever it is gets you off, you cheese eating surrender monkey.

    You have every instance of me wrong, i cant honestly see the point in continuing this becuase you're such an uneducated fucktard it goes straight through that empty head of yours, you fucking amoeba!!

    Bet you ride a fucking shitbag vespa you Euro scum cloggy fuckwit!! lololol.

  • A P200e, TS1 and GS 180 you arsebert. I knew it wouldn't be long before you backed down. Why's that i wonder, run out of brain cells and vocablary have you? Me uneducated? Haha, that comeing from a Sun reader. How rich is that? Me a surrender monkey? listen in you rancid bag of bastard, i might not agree with what you say but i'd lay my life on the line for you to be able to say it. A gibbon like you couldn't even begin to understand that concept so i probably am wasting my time. Shithouse.

  • You should take more notice of what i type instead of jumping to conclusions. I certainly dont read the Sun but, if i did it would be a tabloid more than you're capable of reading. You're command of the English language is without doubt, "pretty good" however, you're still an inarticulate, puss sucking retard with the IQ of my ejaculate. Now it appears i'm dealing with another "lefty fuck" who seems to think the world rotates around his rancid, overfed arse. Perhaps you feel wanted here???

  • I happen to be very conservative in my political views and have a deep distain for socialism, whereas you're just a short sighted racist shit shovel with a big fuck off chip on his shoulder. I even go out of my way to keep leftwing socialist lentil eaters off my website, equally shit sucking racist BNP piggery like yourself. You also seem to have a penchant for seaman and wanking, that in it's self speaks volumes, i know enough. You assume much but stay profoundly ignorant, you are crap.

  • Plastic Pete Waterman crap.

  • Ha ha that comin from a tired old spunker like you.

    Kingoffuckall aintcha mate..!!

  • In your profile you state "Yes I work...Fucking Hard"

    I agree you DO work hard........at being an absolute cunt!!! Anyway face it boss you are a loser. You support the BNP??? (Griffin was an absolute arsehole on Question Time) & you like shit music(Plastic Pop). Considering that the origins of Mod was based on Tamla & R&B you contradict yourself by associating yourself with Mod. Dont bother replying cos I'm gonna delete it & once again YOU ARE A CUNT

  • Griffin was set up you fucking dick. Get wu#ith it, even the tabloids and News of the world established that. And theres fuck all wrong with this music....bet you listened to it ya dick, otherwise what you doing on here?

    And CUNT back at ya dickhead....

  • Of coarse you read 'The News of world' and 'The sun'.,what fucking else would you attempt to read you pig fucking council house dwelling cunteroo, it's all footy, beer and bollocks with cunts like you, oh and cunting it up in Benidorm for two weeks of your poxy cuntish life. I fucking hate your ilk with a vengence, thick, fat and hopelessly cuntish. Get to fuck you rediculous chavy dog's cunt.

  • He doesn't know what he 's talkling about, he tries to read 'The Sun' which in it's self speaks volumes about the type of shithead he is.

  • At my school us low key mod revivalists/punks had to stick together cos there Elvis Presley bullies fucking everywhere ! And scooter skins at the youth club !!!! Didn't stop us dancing to this tho !!!!!

  • loved the mod scene,but i lived in a village full of skins ,it wernt easy lol

  • lol
