  • 4 skins have reformed got a new c.d called THE RETURN pretty good c.d. with the old songs re-sung.anybody want a copy send me your address through my you tube account.

  • Whatever happened to Steve Pear? His playing is amazing - definitely my favorite 4Skins guitarist... And gotta agree w/8jollyroger - the drumming in this song is flawless.

  • Does anyone know what happened to Martin Dean, the Sounds photographer who specialised in Skinheads at that time? I must appear in loads of his pics. When he got attacked at the Bridge House once, they actually leaned over me at the bar to punch him. He was mistaken for a journalist who paid a pound for a Seig heil pose and the skins were sick of the negative press.

  • I think I was at this gig, It was at some politechnic upstairs in Whitechapel in 81. Also saw them at the Bridge House in Canning town as well as the Cockney rejects, Cock Sparrer, TheBusiness. Still have a Rejects Drumstick with West Ham ribbon attached.

  • In den 80er-Jahren hörte ich diesen geilen Song.

  • wait r they rasist now :O

  • Racist my arse, working class lads. Oi was always left wing and most of the time it was about the music, beer and chasing women while watching your football team lose to the local rivals. I loved Oi, ska and the two tone movement. Bollocks to racists, listen to the music, the press used to think Madness were racist they obviously never listened to "Embarrassment".

  • oi! oi! oi! motherfuckers!!!

  • great drumming

  • Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi! Lol!

  • racist?...dumbasses words have more than one meaning, skinheads are a tribute to the jamaican rudeboys, not some fuckin racist faggots !! fuck nazi's!!!

  • Wicked track, EVIL even! real Skins always hated politics, Billy Bragg or Atilla the stockbroker are the real facists!

  • paki bashing early skinheads did it they werent racist..

    at that time there was tension i admit it was wrong.

    

  • what is a fucking skinhead anyways? you got an idea? racist or not, is it some USA hick/skinhead who doesn't give a shit about buying japanese made crap while living in the USA (converse all star,sell out), or do they support globalization, or maybe a skinhead smashes a bottles over a niggers head. Or maybe a skinhead needs people to be part of a social scene or maybe he's a loner and he don't NEED? I've seen plenty of black people with shaved heads. Oi Oi OI OI!!!!!!!!!

  • this band sounds like a bunch of faggot homos just like the rest of them the only good oi bands r Social Combat and Angry Aryans

  • @TheIloveblood

    you're comparing that bonehead garbage to one of the original oi bands? GTFO.

  • @centerrightpunk r u kidding me? this band sounds like the guys got downsyndrome and his vocal cards have been twisted around and tie together and pull back apart

  • @TheIloveblood

    1000x times better and more original than the constipated aryans. LOL.

  • the 4skins werent nazis they were a fuckin good old kick you in the head bunch of skins.......all you p.c $100 wearing ben shermin shirt mother fuckers might learn something fom a bunch of mates having fun...oi....spend more time on on yer mates than yer clothes!!......have fun.

  • FUCK YOU !!!

  • pwopa cockney oi dat!

  • afther PCC ,stayed complicated to SKINS ,because nobody is weak, but the PCC is stronger than us !!!!!!what can we do????????????

  • whats PCC?

  • Im from Southall and I can tell you,the asians were the ones who started the trouble,the hambrough had held many gigs before,punk bands,rock bands etc all day long while at school there were so many rumours on the day,the asians wound themselves up.There were a few skins on a 207 bus that were attacked on their way to the gig,anything mentioned about that?no of course not.

  • @killingnuman

    Oh fuck. Yeah, I heard they also pulled some shit with an Oi! show by bombing the place, but this is coming from a fan of Oi! music whos only been born into the 90s, so I wouldn't of been around then lol

  • "BigBlackGuy" Yeah sure you are black. You fucking 13 year old white virgin fuck off

  • @killingnuman Thats true, we were prevented from getting anywhere near the Hambrough by the police who were out and about at least 2 hours before the gig was due to start. There were Asian gangs out looking for trouble.

  • @killingnuman I assure you it wasn't the usual lot at Oi' Fest. It was the few Nazis that got 4-skins cancelled for their first USA appearance. Unfortunately, after waiting since '82, I got to hear them on a cell phone a 100 miles away from the venue the next day at noon. On my way to work, unlike the jobless nazi hammer skin cunts that stopped something I had been waiting for since '82.. FUCK YOU EASTERN HAMMER BASTARDS. Useless wastes of white flesh..

  • As a band they did not express racist views. From what I understand, Steve Pear was even a socialist. Hooton Tom was a big fan of Motown soul, R&B, ska reggae. Gary Hodges was a rather right wing kind of guy but I'eve never heard him ever say anything out and out racist. As to whether or not various member who came and went were racist I don't know. In the end it doesn't really matter. What DOES matter is The 4-skins played some awesome kick ass punk rock?.

  • This is going back a while, but Hoxton was working with Tower Hamlets in the 90s on road/transportation infrastructure in Bangladesh.

    I'd agree and say the bands weren't racist even if some of the members passing through *may* have been.

  • Hey thanks for replying and pointing that out. I had no idea about that. You just made me and even bigger fan than I already was and I was a pretty big fan.

  • @Goatskull well said...one of them was half jewish, so it's unlikely they were nazis lol!

  • @Goatskull HODGES WAS the 4-skins: after he left, the rest were sweet Fuck All.

  • @Goatskull

    They are a cradle of Oi! punk.They dont have a politic views.

    Their guitar player was a rockabilly and bassist was a suedehead.

    sry for bad eng. cheers.

  • @CockneySkinhead91 And a big cheers to you,

  • @Goatskull "As a band they did not express racist views" As a band they expressed racist views on their own TV interview mate.

  • @7jem331 Got a link?

  • @Goatskull Yeah just go onto the 4Skins documentary about the Southall riots and you hear them sitting talking, racist comment made against Pakistanis on it.

  • @7jem331

    give it a rest. no one is going to listen to your empty accusations, no matter how much you hand-wring.

  • @centerrightpunk Well you obviously are otherwise you wouldnt comment you clown.

    Whats up, the fact that the proof is there for all too see a little too upsetting for you is it? Go on, have a cry now waaaaa waaaaa waaaaa.....

  • @7jem331

    what proof? you keep referring to a video that shows NOTHING racist. you claim something to be racist, so it must therefore be racist. that's all you have. LOL. and i'm having fun showing you're an idiot. i just think, for every other person reading, you should do them a favor and quit spreading BS.

  • @centerrightpunk Clearly you dont find the lead singer referring to Pakistanis as "Pakis" Then do you.

    Look up the word in a dictionary I think you will clearly find its regarded as racist and offensive.

    Now run along soft lad.

  • @7jem331

    so what. that was a common term back then. they hardly cared about being PC. . even iggy pop used it, one of the original punk rockers, look up the video. paki paki paki. oh shit! i'm a racist now! ahhhhhh!

  • @centerrightpunk The "Common term" Back then was Pakistani as it is now. I should know I grew up then. Unlike yourself I am not some 15 year old sitting at home with his brand new punk CDs babling on about Iggy Pop and God knows who else........

    And yep, you probably are a racist.

  • @centerrightpunk Either that or just plain thick.

  • @7jem331 cock.

  • @Goatskull never heard anything racist?Song "Take no more" from their new album is directed against all immigrants living in the UK.

    "….Immigrants overun our land. Benefits office with an outstretched hand

    Competing for our homes and jobs. Begging in their gypsy mobs

    Our country is full, fear the worst. Shouldn't we put our OWN PEOPLE first…"

  • @Mennismervice Those are pretty right wing lyrics I'll admit. Still doesn't make them racist. We have the same issues going on in the U.S. about illegal immigration. I sill love and will always love the 4-skins music regardless of the politics, tho if "take no more" is any indication, their better days are behind them.

  • @Goatskull And how about the fact that they played with RAC bands in France recently. Also played a gig for "our natinal heroes". Yes, their better days are behind them. Though they may not say any racist terms, they may be it deep down.

  • RAC is against com, But alot of the bands are nazis,

  • @Mennismervice what's wrong with looking out for your own people? he didn't express ANYTHING about someone's race, he said immigrants, there are white immigrants too, so again, nothing racist

  • @TraditionalSkin89 "competing for our homes and jobs,begging in their gypsy mobs" I am a gypsy and I find that very offensive and prejudice against immigrants and travellers such as myself. They are saying we are trying to steal their hard earned (hard earned for being born in the country to their point of view) jobs and that we are pathetic beggers who bring gangs....

  • @Mennismervice What song is that from?

  • @1982CFD Their newer song "take no more".

  • @Mennismervice i knew it you littlt racist homo. why do you use bigoted remarks towards everyone except homosexuals. because youre gay,nothing wrong with ,that-except that youre a hypocrite, and your lover is a 55 yr old man,who smokes dope and bangs you, he told me himself. yesterday. you shouldnt sry wolf and call others a racist,when theyre not and you are.its people like you,who make real acts of bigotry seem false. because of your lies and hypocrisy.wheres your 55 yr old lover ?

  • @Goatskull

    It's Hoxton Tom, silly. O is nowhere near X on the keyboard, so I assum you're just drunk. Oi!

  • @BootyFister Yes I know. I WAS either drunk or fat fingering the keyboard or a mixture of both. Cheers.

  • And a final comment, do you think The Oppressed would cover half of their songs if they were racist? In case you don't know, which you probably don't, The Oppressed are the most anti-fascist band in the world, and they're fuckin great.

  • Comment removed

  • And they have a few ska songs you dumb fuck.

    Dambusters, Plastic Gangsters, Seems To Me, etc.

  • not calling you dumb or anything i love the four skins but the dambusters song on their record was actualy the JJ All Stars

  • Yeah I was wondering about that.

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • And as for "7jem331" they didn't make racist comments in that video. They called them "pakis" but everyone in England does, whether your leftist or right-wing, it's just what they say.

    Now I'm not racist in the least bit either, I don't support NF or BNP. Traditional Skinheads, KEEP THE FAITH!

  • it sucks that they were racist

  • Sucks that you're a dumbass. They're not racist in the least bit. Too bad Hoxton Tom was a mod who listens to soul and reggae.Too bad Gray Hodges was a Traditional, too bad Steve Pear was a rocker.Learn your facts before you open you're mouth.

  • "Learn your facts before you open you're mouth." It's actually spelled "your" when used in such a manner. If you're going to tell someone to learn some facts, you might as well follow the same rule. I apologize for making you so upset. I did some research and you seem to be right. I can't find any information claiming them to be racist. It's hard for me to grasp the concept of skin heads. I always connected skin heads to Nazis, but I know that this is not true. I don't understand this culture.

  • My bad, I was a but hard about it, but only because the scene gets so much shit. Skins aren't racist, boneheads are.

  • That's one thing I'll never understand. Why is it that most people automatically assume that skin head = racist? Remember the ska fad of the early 80? Bands like The Specials, Madness, Bad Manners, The Selecter etc? They all had a large skin head following. Back then there were a lot of black skin heads.

  • oi! oi!

  • haha, those racistfucks are funny :D

    looks like they have never seen 4-skins live, otherwise those idiots would be punched by a horde of S.H.A.R.P's

  • Mate hate to burst your bubble but the 4 Skins were racists. You can even hear them making racist comments about Asians on their interview.

  • 14/88 kamerad

  • AFA!

  • watch out for that tree lol

  • Want you make some difference to the rot.1234...88

  • SKINHEADS BELGRADE!!!

  • watch?v=4scW-25Yybk 

    spanish version¡¡¡¡

  • foreskins LOL

  • ?random?

  • great drumming

  • this is some fierce shit!

  • was that the best you could do D0DGECHARGERFAN you mongrel, you basically copied what i said. then again thats not bad for someone with half a brain cell.

  • oh really u failure, why didnt u jus reply my last message rather than jus typing a new 1? so u think i wouldnt reply back because it wouldnt get tp me u fuk, thats not very smart, well as u are a failure i guess this is a last resort for u

  • dont talk stupid mongrel, smart doesnt come into your domain your a halfwit who hasn't learnt to spell properly. i have simply got bored talking to someone who is so obviously 12 years old or has a mental age in that range. tossers like you are the people that cause the race hate in this country yet you try and blame it all on the whites, loose the huge chip on your shoulder mug and wake up to reality. if you dont like the music then piss off to one of your radical web sites dickhead.

  • id like to clear 1 thing, i can spell ok, it jus saves time to use less letter, more or less what you do when you text,etc. im not blaiming anything on white people, im talkin about the 4-skin, they are racist, in their interviews,etc. im not even tryin to some what fight u on youtube lol

  • firstly, when i text i use full words not ridiculous american text slang. secondly, go back to your reply to liekkek and tell me are not blaming the whites.thirdly,have you ever heard of editing.and last but not least if you saw me you would not want to fight me (if you really do live in southall you will definately know of me anyway) enough said.

  • Comment removed

  • u dumb motherfucker get ur facts right u wanker, watch the videos on southall riots and see about their gig in southall and then u tell me it was nothin about racism u fukin mug dumb fuk failure

  • as i said you fucking retard, you wasnt there you only know what bullshit you have read about it or what your bullshiting other retards from southall have said. go back to school and get an education then you can come back on here and write something that is spelt correctly and makes sense
