The specials said so much about the late seventies and how disillusioned we all were with the politicians and the state of the country. sound familiar? we need a new set of specials new motivated and angry teenagers to put some life back into this countries music. the specials were just brilliant! they also united kids of all colours
I so agree.. but in 1979 there was Malcolm McLaren... in 2010 there's Simon Cowell. As they say in America 'do the math'. Sadly, Chances of a new 'Specials' against 'Britain's Got X Factor Talent'? Depressingly low.
Absolutely Fuckin Awesome .....just wish i had been old enough to be there...was only bout 11 at the time....and The Specials were the dogs fuckin doo daa's then...
I am fuckin gutted that the Specials are reforming for a tour next year. The Specials were the best band ever, they should be rememberd as they were, it wont be the same, they will totaly embarass themselves like the Pistols did in 1996. shame.
nah mate,have to disagree there,been a fan since they started and did have reservations about reforming....but FUCK ME!!! went see em twice ,the gig on 3rd May in Manchester ........BEST GIG IVE EVER ATTENDED!!!!!!!!
obviously not many people listened.

Ain't you heard of the starving millions
Ain't you heard of contraception
Do you really a program of sterilization
Take control of the population boom
It's in your living room
Keep a generation gap
Try wearing a cap
Hmmm think about those lyrics today guys.

The Specials are a band of talented musicians, whereas the Sex Pistols were a bunch of muppets who never really played an instrument in their lives.
I wish them all the very best with this tour and hope to be there.

Actually a band should play whatever en whenever the fuck they like and don't give a shit about what other people think.
