@christmaspotatowedge middle class ! LMFAO from 1977- 87 I was working down the pit YOU RETARD. I bet in 1977 you was still hopping about in your dads bollocks.
the idea of punk as been burnt out of life by the govt and simon the sieg heil dictator of pop young people doing what they want cant ave that older people saying yeah ave a gig in me barn\field\stop that bout time we got a backbone me finks when i know not punk ub40 sang im a 1 in 10 know its 1 in 5 no hope no future no love just WHAT?
I finished being a punk in 1980 when it was on its last legs...its sad to see people in their late 40s still dressing like punks,they just look like someone's fat old mum and dad going to a fancy dress party.
You FINISHED being a punk ?? What the hell does THAT mean ?? Nobody FINISHES being a punk !!! I think what you are trying to say is that when Top of the Pops stopped playing punk music you followed the fashion and became a new romantic or whatever crap came on the music scene.
In other words - you were never a punk in the first place !!! Punk is an attitude - NOT A FASHION !!
@CrassOldBoy the only people who are still like this bullshit are people like you, sad bastards stuck in the past. do you think johnny rotten is still a punk doing his butter adverts LMFAO. I saw punk for what it was....a load of SHIT. and yeah, punk bands on top of the pops ...just another example of what a load of bullshit it was. ! you fucking retard.
LMAO !! I never once mentioned Johnny Rotten ! Or butter for that matter !! I see you're tarring a few of us with the retard brush - not really fair that, is it ? Just because we still enjoy listening to music from our youth ?? If you really dont like this anymore - why are you even on this page ??
@CrassOldBoy there is no answer to someone who's in denial.
Denial (also called abnegation) is a defense mechanism postulated by Sigmund Freud, in which a person is faced with a fact that is too uncomfortable to accept and rejects it instead, insisting that it is not true.
LMFAO !! Oh dear !! A quote straight out of the pages of Wikipedia !!! What am I in denial about ?? I love punk music - always have - always will. You STILL haven't answered my original question - or even spilled the beans on your music preferences !!!
Saw the Subs in Brighton late 78. Charlie came and had a drink with us after, a really nice bloke. He was a true Punk, twice our age, and he did'nt care about all this rubbish about what you wore. I had all the gear and was by no means a 'Part time Punk', but for me it weas all about the MUSIC. Still is. Thanks for the post
@regipunk1 yeah but if you're fucking dressing ike a punk then you're conforming to another fucking group, that also means you have to go by the rues of that group, man, cant you just like punk and dress the way you want?
Punk is all about the music and attitude to life. Sure your style can be hardcore, jeans and a t-shirt or anarcho-punk, the whole OTT mohawk thing...either way, does it bloody matter? Each to their own. This is a fucking good band, listen to the music for crying out loud.
Bollocks their was no Virgin until 81 no bondage trousers or bum flaps or mohicans, first punks wore dog collars and pygamas and made their clobber..Punk is the mentality like Anarchy not something with a total definition..In them days at school you got bollocks for "A" earing in so we shaved our heads until we left in 83 then had mohawks blonde spikes,mohicans etc then Psycobilly started and Punk was finished.But it aint Dead never has been im 43 went SLF,Undertones,Buzzcocks all in last yr.(A)
@DelStrainComedy Who could afford trendy shit anyway? Our jeans were ripped because we couldn't afford new ones, and the only jacket we had was the school blazer. Jesus, a leather biker jacket and a mohawk, only the middel class students could afford them. They're mostly bankers and brokers now.
IF YA DONT DRESS LIKE A PUNK ,IT REALLY MEANS EITHER UR MUMMY&DADDY WONT LET YA,OR UV GOT SOME SILLY JOB THAT WONT LET YA.so fuck off with that if u dress like a punk ur a poser.thats bollocks.you make a choice u stay with it 24/7.so fuck off with that crap

Charlie Harper bought me a drink at AJ's Lincoln 1978 after he spilled my pint by accident. They were great that night. My ears were still ringing on the next Wednesday.
as a 13 yr old in 76 punk was an attitude not a fashion (leather biker jackets and a mohican) and as a 48 yr old i am still a CLASH CITY REBEL RUDEBOY ROCKA deep down
Well said TheNicknatt - I am 48 next month - was a punk at heart - used to hang out with lads from AntiPasti and Enemy in Derby - couldnt do the look cos of a regular type job - but I BELIEVED and still do
punk the biggest conformity ever dont matter if u wear the cloths or not poser is a poser everybody in the world is a poser we all pose for something, pose and strive to just survive or pose to be bigger than the next person. honestly in my opinion uk punks r disgusting look and listen to anti nowhere league and sex pistols. they r gay and sleazy. just all around nasty. wouldnt doubt if they had the spiders from harry potter in their head.
@sixfeetunder9191 first off, anti-nowhere league fuckin' kicks ass. everyone is a poser? well with your logic, that includes you! spiders from harry potter? haha go back to hogwarts you troll.

nasty nate loves the uk subs,,,,nickys my fave guitarist,,,,were gonna copy this song and warhead!!!!!the dream show uk subs and zone//3 at the olympic auditorium
I'm sure the original version goes "some little girl's got a hold on me, she's only 13 but oh so sweet". Wouldn't get away with that on TOTP... still a great song though :-)
say them live last Fri nite at the town mill mansfield, i now realise that the 'angry yoof' we were is now a bunch of 'frustrated middleaged' =D
that said had a great mosh, bruised to feck, ripped the arse out of my jeans and the docs look like a herd of cattle stampeded over them................not bad for a 45 yr old.
I just saw them play a few days ago, they still put on a great show, they still have lots of energy. Nicky Garrat still jumps all over the place, doing his jump kicks. Wow, what a bunch of youngsters they are here!
CHARLIE HARPER WOULDN'T TELL ME HOW OLD HE WAS WHEN I ASKED HIM AT A GIG THEY PLAYED IN 04 AT CLUB CALLED THE SANCTUARY,BUT HE TOLD HE HAS 4 GRANDCHILDREN AND THAT'S A CLUE LOL.
nicest bunch of guys you could ever meet. charlie was ace...and nicky gave me the jacket off his back (the one in this video). this brings me back to happy days.
@hinksey777Oh dear, Miss, that's an awful lot of people you're putting down. Please give us 'low life' a list of what is good, and what isn't, so we don't waste our time with any rubbish, since you're obviously very bright and know.
I personally don't think punk has died, the true punk has just gone underground once again. It just seems like the label punk is being thrown around too much now days, I mean the Veronica's get labeled punk sometimes, the fuck is up with that? There is still true punk around, you gotta look for it though. It is sad to see such a brilliant movement get its name ripped apart by capitalism though.
Ive seen nightclubbers with shirts that say punk on it?? and the weridest one ive seen! is a glammed up God save the Queen T-Shirt with sparkle bits on it??? these people probably listen to NDubz or something?
When I see some person walking about the weekend wearing their pretty blue banana trendy pop punk wear and claiming their a punk rocker makes me laugh! because during the week! their some trendy prick working in an office kissing their bosses ass
Punk is DEAD unless your someone who lived during that period and understood it was NOT some kind of trendy fashion! the UK Subs live on as a punk act because their still the same and their not some modern shitty pop guitar act that labels themselves as punk! Bowling for soup for example! what a friggin joke
@Fender1976uk punk as a state of mind is far from dead. I still don't give a fuck about the system, I am still not part of it, I still go against the stream, I no longer live violently and am not as pissed off all the time as I used to be, but that's only because I found more intelligent and constructive ways of channeling my rage and frustrations. As long as you or I refuse to be just another sheep in the flock, punk is not dead. Just the music punk scene is, not the idea behind it
That makes sense :) as for the music scene. ive come across bands and guys that claim to be punk and their like kids on too much sugar or something? its like they think their above people? too cool and trendy? I notice they have alot of lyrics in their music?? its almost like their trying too hard to tell you about something?? and you kind of forget what they were blabbing on about fast?? it all sounds like the Jonas Brothers to me :)
Just a quick note to all the guys who think the original Subs line-up contained messrs Gibbs and Roberts... well it fuckin never.... HERE's the original line-up...
Harper, Garratt, [Paul] Slack and Davies... although some may say Paul Slack's brother Steve was their original bassist, but if he was, it was surely before anything was laid on wax?
Thanks for the upload this line-up was my favorite, cheers!
Clothing is an expression, I understand you can wear a suit and everything, but these people are purely glam posers, that's kind of my point, anyways, whatever...
thats so true. the punk scene around my city and surrounding cities is pretty huge.but i think only like 1/3 of the ppl,including me,truly believe its a state of mind and way of life. were not in it for the boots and patches and all that...were in it for the message that punk delivers and for what it stands for.
Not nessicarily. Punks about doing what you want and not giving a shit what anyone thinks. That idea will never die. There's always gonna be pissed off kids wanting to cause destruction to the system.
@PraiseofDeath92 exactly, I knew real punks who wore a sweater and jeans, had no tattoos or piercings, yet their whole attitude toward life and politics was 100% punk, while there plenty of idiots who call themselves punk, wear all the right Sex/Malcom-McLarenesque clothes, but are total posers with not a single idea in their heads
@fabsternyc Precisely. I go to punk gigs in a T-shirt and jeans. Nothing considered "Punk", but that's not the point. A couple of times people have questioned my look; so I just reply with that I appreciate the music. Most punks tend to dig that; the only ones that don't tend to be posing 20-something dicks.
@Kisushima I'm 48 and l still go to gigs it might be 10 times the cost but a night out with all your old mates is priceless.As for these young punks they have no idea what punk is about its the music.... punk is 100% attitude not multicolour mohawks and studded leather and not looking like a reject from a mad max movie .....
@fabsternyc Man, that was one seriously KICK-ASS comment. I couldn't relate more to what you said. I'm tired of seeing all these fucktards trying to act all hardcore with all their stupid expensive gear and piercings and tattoos trying to look "alternative" or whatever the fuck but they have nothing up there. They follow dumb ass trends and waste money on stupid shit, as if they were infants. They worship Kat Von D or whatever the fuck her name is. Ugh! I only year t shirts and slacks. Fuck it.
Thats so true and I find it funny how you get the trendys dressing up like retro punks and think their punk?? and when you find out their all into Green Day and never heard of the UK Subs, you know its time to laugh :) and being punk is not being a whinny little brat with a stash of money in your pocket :)
@PraiseofDeath92 punk... punk is just identified by fashion. punks whats inside! and i dont understand why these stupid poseur fucks cant see that. anyone can buy shit; not everyone can be truly rebellious, now everyone can truly want whatrver form of anarchy they support, not everyone can really hate what society has to offer. or whatever your punk is.
They were just a small part of great punk bands from this time, Angelic Upstarts and Stiff Little Fingers to name just two.....tomorrows girls and Teenage were also great uksubs tracks...

@Fender1976uk punk as a state of mind is far from dead. I still don't give a fuck about the system, I am still not part of it, I still go against the stream, I no longer live violently and am not as pissed off all the time as I used to be, but that's only because I found more intelligent and constructive ways of channeling my rage and frustrations. As long as you or I refuse to be just another sheep in the flock, punk is not dead. Just the music punk scene is, not the idea behind it

That makes sense :) as for the music scene. ive come across bands and guys that claim to be punk and their like kids on too much sugar or something? its like they think their above people? too cool and trendy? I notice they have alot of lyrics in their music?? its almost like their trying too hard to tell you about something?? and you kind of forget what they were blabbing on about fast?? it all sounds like the Jonas Brothers to me :)

Saw them again last week in Norwich, Ed 7th, they were amazing again. Charlie Harper is one of the good guys, bless him

Nice one this is fuckin brill stuff.
Just a quick note to all the guys who think the original Subs line-up contained messrs Gibbs and Roberts... well it fuckin never.... HERE's the original line-up...
Harper, Garratt, [Paul] Slack and Davies... although some may say Paul Slack's brother Steve was their original bassist, but if he was, it was surely before anything was laid on wax?
Thanks for the upload this line-up was my favorite, cheers!

Charlie Harper imitates Johnny Rotten. Rotten says many times ago that he don't like bands who liked to be next Pistols.

When it comes to punk, it doesn't matter what you wear...

Clothing is an expression, I understand you can wear a suit and everything, but these people are purely glam posers, that's kind of my point, anyways, whatever...

thats so true. the punk scene around my city and surrounding cities is pretty huge.but i think only like 1/3 of the ppl,including me,truly believe its a state of mind and way of life. were not in it for the boots and patches and all that...were in it for the message that punk delivers and for what it stands for.

Not nessicarily. Punks about doing what you want and not giving a shit what anyone thinks. That idea will never die. There's always gonna be pissed off kids wanting to cause destruction to the system.
skankin45 1 year ago 2
@PraiseofDeath92 exactly, I knew real punks who wore a sweater and jeans, had no tattoos or piercings, yet their whole attitude toward life and politics was 100% punk, while there plenty of idiots who call themselves punk, wear all the right Sex/Malcom-McLarenesque clothes, but are total posers with not a single idea in their heads

@fabsternyc Precisely. I go to punk gigs in a T-shirt and jeans. Nothing considered "Punk", but that's not the point. A couple of times people have questioned my look; so I just reply with that I appreciate the music. Most punks tend to dig that; the only ones that don't tend to be posing 20-something dicks.

@Kisushima I'm 48 and l still go to gigs it might be 10 times the cost but a night out with all your old mates is priceless.As for these young punks they have no idea what punk is about its the music.... punk is 100% attitude not multicolour mohawks and studded leather and not looking like a reject from a mad max movie .....

@fabsternyc Man, that was one seriously KICK-ASS comment. I couldn't relate more to what you said. I'm tired of seeing all these fucktards trying to act all hardcore with all their stupid expensive gear and piercings and tattoos trying to look "alternative" or whatever the fuck but they have nothing up there. They follow dumb ass trends and waste money on stupid shit, as if they were infants. They worship Kat Von D or whatever the fuck her name is. Ugh! I only year t shirts and slacks. Fuck it.

Thats so true and I find it funny how you get the trendys dressing up like retro punks and think their punk?? and when you find out their all into Green Day and never heard of the UK Subs, you know its time to laugh :) and being punk is not being a whinny little brat with a stash of money in your pocket :)

@PraiseofDeath92 punk... punk is just identified by fashion. punks whats inside! and i dont understand why these stupid poseur fucks cant see that. anyone can buy shit; not everyone can be truly rebellious, now everyone can truly want whatrver form of anarchy they support, not everyone can really hate what society has to offer. or whatever your punk is.
