Show some respect you bunch of fucking tards. Brandon was in two of the most influential post-punk bands of the 80s. How many of you have played live to 1000s of people and released albums? Fucking wankers.
who gives a fuck if he was gay theatre of hate was fucking rocking on in the day !! i was glad i was there to say i saw them many times and fucking loved them !!
So, he's the one that had a fling with Boy George.... Ahhhhh, those were the days, then Jon Moss came along and George was happy again, albeit for a little while....
So in a matter of 10 years Kirk Brandon went from punk originator and innovator to whatever the fuck this is supposed to be. Sorry man, but you definitely are a fucking nancy.
seen soD ROUNDABOUt 80 times over yeaRZ,,had the pleASURE TO Support theM THRee timeS AT THE Rigger newcASTLE UNDER LYME,,,,TOPBAndtoptUNE,,,,GET WELL Soooon kirK XXXX
Saw these support U2 at Milton Keynes in 85....was that fucking blown away by them i went and bought their albums and then saw them in their own right!.....Brilliant!
Brilliant, although I had forgotten how crap the sound always was on the Tube! Backing singer is twice as loud as Kirk. Still one of their best tracks and cool as fuck after all these years!
to lavcsouth - hey fella - he was basically refering to rumours of a gay affair with a certain "pop star" and the fact he wore bundeswa ( forgive the spelling) vests which were basically german and contained a german sign within its logo - he's a cool guy who ive been lucky enough to spend time with - what he said would not have been mellicious - hope that helps lol
I think that nowadays nobody can say that George and Kirk were not together some time. It´s so crear. There are also pictures. Beautiful ones. And Kirk looked so happy. And George is such a credible person. Always. Love them both!
Kirk Brandon needs to learn how to be classy like Jon Moss who acknowledges a relationship with George. Just because you once had a relationship with another guy 30 years ago doesn't mean you are 100% gay or take away from your current heterosexual marriage. Everyone around them knew George and Kirk had an affair.
brandon was joking on this video, the whole gay thing was all put out by boy george, there were no witnesses to this so called affair between boy george and kirk brandon, I am sure if they were at it, somebody else would have at least been aware of it. boy george was heroin addict and was sent to jail for imprisoning a male escort, boy george is hardly a credible person, I would not believe a word that boy george says
not gay not a nazi...I had some mad promo with an interview wi kirk comparing him with the 'nazi' aspect of new order/joy division type bollox ooh you look like bernard sumner keks an shirt blah blah fookin nazi fashion police ..did I have original sin toh and westworld sod a side/bside12inch ...or vis versa tell me not sure
@firingupfiringoff the 12 inch you mention is The Senate which was Kirk Brandon and Rusty Egan basically redoin original sin with a TOH westworld on b side.. Rusty Egan was big on the Blitz early new romantic scene -mates with visage etc.
Rusty Egan was more than mates with Visage he was their drummer,he also drummed with the Rich kids (first punk supergroup) the skids and even the Misfits for a bit.he was involved in the new romantic scene as he owned 'the cage' which at the time was the only new romantic record store.
Went to see them last night at rock city great gig! despite my promise to stay away from moshing I wake up today with a sore throat, a black eye and partial deafness!! just like the old days. good one kirk
Kirk Brandon has got to be the most underestimated musician of all time. Nobody even comes close to his unique vocals and SOD really should have had much more success. Thanks again Jim for uploading these.
Spear are fantastic, I'm proud to be named after Kirk Brandon, he's a great bloke in person too. I'm a bit behind all this but I've seen them a few times since Loadestone came out - they were my first gig too. It's great to see a video of Liberator from the times when they still used the sax. Such an awesome song

Oh, and one more memory just came back to me. I used to play this in my room all the time. Finally my Mum walks in thinking the chorus was "I'LL IMMIGRATE!", and tells me to get it over with and leave the country... So I did.
Oh this makes me happy! I watched this on Channel 4 when I was young and had hair! When you think about the other music from the same period, Spear of Destiny remain grossly under rated.
the real stuff. i cant belive .how much stuff came from this band... and how no one gives them credit.(or enough credit) man we used to go fooking mental to this.. i still do but i tend to break my bones easily,, yarff
Classic stuff! Big fan!
