Buzzcocks-Sixteen Again

[morfinafreak]

escucho esta cancion mientras aspiro nafta y me tomo un vino desnudo en el baño. por siempre punk rock, ustedes no entienden una mierda de lo que estoy diciendo. quisiera tener 16 ahora... :/

[LlewelynLaVista666]

OMG Pete Shelley was so fit then, lol ;) x

[harkormarian]

oh mi goot iM A 14

[ripoutarmy]

fuck im 17 and i wish i was 16 again /:

[Methrt3]

Nobody ever talks about the Buzzcocks rhythm section, they held these songs together. Listen to their basslines. These two always get overlooked for Shelly and Diggle. Sorta like Foxton and Bucker, shame.

[straylight99]

@Methrt3 . . Yep . . Jon Maher was (is) an awesome drummer . . . check out "late for the train" on the same album (love bites) or "moving away from the pulse beat" . .and always though Steve Garvey was one of those effortlessly cool guys . . . but hey, I was 14 at the time.

[zilvafish]

buzzcocks were the best, Pete really didn't give a shit

[LlewelynLaVista666]

I was too young for this, but I fuckin' love the Buzzcocks, and I'll say this an' all - Pete Shelley was fuckin' fit when he was young x :)

[watoowatootheband]

Sixteen again forever!

[chchchcherrybomb37]

'look at me here i am for your eyes'

'twas rather sexy the way in which he looked at the camera

o.o

[GrigoriZhukov]

@chchchcherrybomb37 typical pop tosser muppet action.

[juttkeys]

@GrigoriZhukov yeah well I suppose if you must, label their music however you want, I wouldnt particularly call them punk either then again I dont listen to music just because of its genre. I grew out of that years ago. you obviously prefer suicidal tendencies and 'real' punk etc, fine its only personal taste mate chill, watch something on youtube u actually like !!?? :)

[swampdodger33]

chuffin hell, i was 11 and all my (mates?) were into Kiss n AC/DC thank fuck 4 punk rock ...ac/dc are olrite tho

[fanidmnt]

god punk

[fanidmnt]

soo good



[carterish]

oh, pete. A sheep in wolf's clothing well it took me by surprise. How could I be so blind, I just can't get you out of my mind.

[thewaybackmachine]

Whats with all the arguing on here??? Enjoy the fucking music!!!!

[mpc3po]

Gosh, such intensity and just greatness!!! These guys rule!!

[millwallpaul76]

Punk started in britain what's all this shit about the ramones started punk what a load of bollocks

[12toedfeet]

@millwallpaul76 The Stooges and The MC5 were the first punk bands. They were both from Detroit, Michigan, USA in the mid-1960s and had HUGE influences on British punks about ten years later. Other American bands like The Ramones, Death, and The Dead Boys formed between 1974 and 1976...at the same time or before the Sex Pistols.

[nachowill95]

@12toedfeet agree

[nachowill95]

@millwallpaul76 ............ xD british punk was a ramones and stooges copy.. a nice copy but a copy in fact

[msalimon]

This is objective info about the history of punk.

[graham2ta]

Best punk band before the Ramones, dont think so, this is so weedy compared to New Rose LOL

[InfatigableFumador]

Muy Bueno... no digo más.

[KITCHENOFDISTINCTION]

Christ, anyone not aware or who thinks Green Day are unbelieavable.....please listen to & explore this wonderful band.. truly everything that is punk/post punk genius....so, so influencial.

[Stupidbox2234]

@KITCHENOFDISTINCTION Not really

They are a good pop punk band for their time and I use punk loosely comparitively to say the Germs or Crass or the monks the sonics, wonderful no good yes Green day blows hobos if you know good music you know this truism

They were more like the influenced rather than influential not genius neither

[ThoseGreenDayz]

@Stupidbox2234 Looking at them from a skeptical point of view and not that of a fan, I still think green day's pretty awesome. They may not be the ideal punks, but that's not what it's about. And they never used to call their music punk or pop punk until the others really did(and they were a hit at Gilman, so come on) And being punk is about attitude and lifestyle. It's also about doing what you want and fuck what everyone else wants. Can you see what I mean?

Anyway, Buzzcocks kick ass.

[chrisgiraffe]

@ThoseGreenDayz punk is about lifestyle. I couldn't play an instrument but when JCPenney came out with their 'punk line and accessories for young men" I was all in. I bought three pairs of 'Johnny Rotten tough dyed' jeans, two Clash shirts and an iron Cross bracelet on my JCP charge card (10% off!). I then went to great clips for a safety hawk. When the guy finished with my hair complained about not getting a tip I said, "Here's a tip: screw you! I'm a punk now!" Starbucks for everyone! :-)

[ThoseGreenDayz]

@chrisgiraffe I've taught myself to play a few intruments.. But buying "punk" clothes from JCP doesn't seem very punk to me, sorry. I get all my clothes because I think they look cool, not what a popular store tells me. But I could see why you'd buy band shirts and merch, I get those because I support the band like you do. And I think Starbucks is very unpunk(i think I just made up a word) too. Yes it is a lifestyle, and I live it by not participating in the latest fads. I do what I deem is cool

[ThoseGreenDayz]

@chrisgiraffe And please don't think I'm judging you, because I'm not. The thing about punk is that you can do as you like, and I respect what you do. I hope I didn't come off as seeming rude or anything. The last thing I want to do is put anyone down.

[chrisgiraffe]

@ThoseGreenDayz I was actually making a silly joke. I guess it seemed to real to be taken humrously. I used to take the entire punk scene way too seriously in my teens (long ago) but realized it became more 'uniform' than something with soul. The day they opened Hot Topic is the day any semblence of what punk was died. But I'm OK with that. I just find it funny when other people take it all as seriously as I once did. movie "SLC punk" says it all much better than I could. no hard feelings :-)

[ThoseGreenDayz]

@chrisgiraffe Yeah, ok, sorry about that. x) I don't take it so seriously that I become a hypocrite, but there are still a lot of values in it that I hate to see people ignorant to, you know? And I'm still only 15 and a half, so I'm still learning about how to deal with subcultures and other peoples' views on those subcultures.

And cheers to the Buzzcocks! =)

[Loutracy01]

@ThoseGreenDayz

Cheers to the Buzzcocks, well said.

[arcicaa]

These were the golden times...

[SonickBlue]

Brilliant! Pete Shelley's sooo cute!! :-)

[julian93river]

the best punk rock band before the ramones....

[DaRandom90]

@julian93river

First off, you are a dumbass. Ramones came out in 1976, Buzzcocks didn't start putting out singles till '77. The punk bands before the Ramones are called proto-punk; starting with the Velvet Underground and the Mothers of Invention, then spreading to such bands as the Modern Lovers, New York Dolls, Big Star, and the final batch were Television, Ramones, Talking Heads, and Patti Smith who can all be considered proto-punk. Once Ramones came out there was punk. Buzzcocks were after.

[bananasplitsable]

@DaRandom90 Sid Vicious was a fan of the New York dolls.

[DaRandom90]

@bananasplitsable

I don't understand what you're trying to say. I didn't mention the Sex Pistols or Sid Vicious. Is that just a random fact?

[bananasplitsable]

@DaRandom90 Yes it is. I just read your comment to julian93river and it suddenly came to me. I do believe the Sex Pistols started out in 1976, but what do dates matter? The music scene changed alot thanks to Punk

[chrisgiraffe]

@DaRandom90 Another punk historian dusts off his faux-hawk to tell the world how right they are and how ignorant everyone else is. We're all impressed.

[nekopunk]

@DaRandom90 You're totally right. But even forgot Blondie.

But I don't think @jilian93river ment "before" in time but in qualitty

[Stinkerstien]

how the hell did he know what camera was on?  OUTSTANDING BAND!!!...Pure Magick.

[kujo839]

Buzzcocks concerts are good, but very loud !!!

[bananasplitsable]

Great song. Love the Buzzcocks.

[MultiMaxi7]

pete shelley's hair curls up at the bottom just like mine. coooool

[Squeaky1423]

*Pete Shelley*

[ellycat]

The original British punk band.

[kellytathyana]

Everyone! They're on Tour May 2010. YEAH!!!

[ifutureman]

God bless the Old Grey Whistle Test! I don't know why this clip isn't on the OGWT compilation DVD though. Thank you for posting!

[RamonesKaraoke]

Woke up this morning singing this to myself, had to go and dig it out. Brilliant! Saw them on this tour.

[sgilrein]

Awesome band. I WISH I had been into them earlier, too busy wasting my time on early REM. That was a bust, huh?

Well, better late than never, right? Right!

[davidcastley]

your hoping right

[IntellectualAmy]

Happy Times.

[punkrockenpunk]

i just went onto this and i see 3 or 4 people are having this little bitch fit here fellas enough talk and just shut up yur actn like 4 year olds who have just dropped there sweets

[tallcedarsovlebanon]

One of the best live bands of all time.

Saw them in 1979 in Blackburn.

Another fab 4.

[tequilabop]

i saw then in bkackburn in 79 too , king georges hall

[puff123jack]

is the lead singer the same leader singer in space? am sure it is

[buffscrag]

No.

[amygurl63]

...The local boys!!!!

[scottkingofska]

I know i wasnt about when Punk started off and stuff, but i always take my dads word for it The Buzzcocks and The Undertones are the true punk ideal. You can see they just get up and play no pretencous bullshit, Just 4 young guys pick up instruments and sing abotu what they know and feel.

[croilegan]

True punk

[truthorfibs]

great post...i wish i was sixteen again.with what i know now...great memories

[mylorry]

i wish bands could make tunes as good as this nowadays ;_;

[shadley35]

@mylorry true true

[juttkeys]

@mylorry

They cant because they are dumbed down by the likes of greenday etc and that is because creativity is squashed in 'schools'

[GrigoriZhukov]

@juttkeys funny I've just the opposite take...90% of what I've heard from the buzz cunts is pop schlock pretending to be punk. OTGH greenday sounds far more punk. Then again...the circle jerks and suicidal tendencies are real hardcore and plasmatics makes them all out to be the little frauds.

[ERASER1091988]

@mylorry They could if they stopped copying these bands and be original. Blink 182 and greenday both copy the clash and other 80s bands ( I'm a fan of both these bands though). goodcharlotte are really hopeless, they're not even pop punk, they are all hollywood.

[lejoe48]

beautiful

[bluesbrother37]

Amen!

[keddw]

I was 16 when this came out. 1978 was a good year to be that age, definitely. What a great album 'Love Bites' was, probably their best album. I don't think much of the 80's though, things are much better now for music. IMO

[ellycat]

Very good album but not as good as Another Music In a Different Kitchen imo.

[jazmyneclash]

things are better NOW for music?? Have you listened to the radio? fucking leona lewis and rihanna are all over the place. you could always listen to "solja boy"...

[keddw]

I mean better than 1980's try listening to BBC Radio London on the internet. I've been heartened about how many good bands are out there. Maybe the stuff on the commercial stations and Radio 1 are crap but things have fragmented since the 80's and therefore improved if you know where to look. While the 80's had some good stuff there were too many untalented synth bands and overated acts like U2, Wah Heat,House of Love, Pop will it itself etc.etc etc

[jazmyneclash]

you know, i think i will listen to the BBC Radio London on the internet, because i listen to Radio 1 everyonce in a while and its shit. i've been quite disheartened by new music lately.

[bluesbrother37]

Amen to that!

[bluesbrother37]

You muppet, music will never be this good, simon cowell has destroyed the music industry!!

[keddw]

Who are you calling a muppet. I was there were you? As for the state of today's music why don't use your initiative and find the good stuff. It's there if you look. Please don't bother me with your crass ignorance again.

[bluesbrother37]

There is hardly any good music today, even bands like coldplay are dreary and unoriginal and all the bands are fake wannabe's!!! Get real man!!

[superiourcowies]

what do you mean "even bands like coldplay"

coldplay are the worst offenders. you clearly have no idea about any bands these days.

if you take coldplay as an example of music.

listen to Ryan is fun and Das wanderlust, and other stuff.

[bluesbrother37]

All bands today are a bunch of wannabes, no originality at all! The best music has already been made, get over it and embrace the past!

[superiourcowies]

Oh yes, because with your amazing grasp of modern music, name dropping such happening acts such as COLDPLAY, you are surely one to be belived about modern music. you dick.

[bluesbrother37]

I was merely using coldplay as an example, asshole! I listen to many of todays bands, killers, scouting for girls, kaiser chiefs, razorlight etc, they are boring and unoriginal, you don't have to like my opinion but we are all entitled to one.

[superiourcowies]

You seem to be completely missing the point.

Every one of those bands that you have just mentioned are extremely mainstream bands! and utterly shit at that.

You fucking spaz.

[bluesbrother37]

You obviously have no intelligence, so go fuck your own arse moron!

[superiourcowies]

I have no intelligence?

Coming from some middle aged man who listens to Coldplay and complains about how shit they are? get a life.

[bluesbrother37]

You obviously have no life, LOSER!!!!

[superiourcowies]

what the fuck you talking about millwallpaul?

You daft fucking nonce, I LIKE this band, i was telling someone coldplay are shit. dont get lost in converstaions you are too stupid to be involced with.

[RockstarRacc00n]

Oh boy, internet drama!! :D

Hey, superiordude, He fucked your mom!

Hey mullwalldude, he fucked your dad!

[superiourcowies]

congrats for adding to it

[RockstarRacc00n]

I know, I just can't help myself. XD

[millwallpaul76]

i just found out your a yank now i know why you are such a arsehole

[RockstarRacc00n]

Oh come on now, you deserve it for taking internet stupidity so seriously.

[bluesbrother37]

Oh and the music of the 80s was much more superior and modern to the useless bunch of shit around today, thank god bands like U2 and REM are still around to teach these muppets about real music!!!!!

[policeman333]

My sixteenth birthday was about a month ago :D

If only I was sixteen in the 80's.

[jamierourketen]

then you would only have been about 11 when this came out in 1978!

[acmedressform]

I was 16 in the 80s. It was the coolest! No internet or mobile phones and sms'!!! Things started going downhill after 1985 though.

[gazstas]

I saw them in the late 70s, when I was a teen

liked em even though pete shelly was a pufter

great sound

[panicpistol]

wow i turned 16 today

i dont know how lucky i am hahaha

[whirlpoolzend]

"life's only death's recompense" Who wrote this! Excellent stuff, & so much energy (where did mine go!) Oh to be sixteen again!

[cudipeich]

uyhui

[cudipeich]

buzzcocks reminds me of a great time once in the rock arena

[Zorgdos]

Buzzcocks are ace, they have pop sensibility up the wazoo.

[mikikimb]

La version est un peu appliquée mais bon, quel chanson! Pas une ride et moi je n'ai plus 16 ans.

[Kirlian06]

Trop Bon !!!

[brunhund]

I JUST WANNA BE SIXTEEN AGAIN

[pjubagoni]

supa dupa shupa jupa hupa

[Floortje21]

I love the Buzzcocks forever!

[kbrinks]

Reminds me of the Osker song "13"
