The Damned - New Rose

[Wehategod]

Rat Scabies Is the Greatest Punk Rock Drummer of all time Forget Travis Barker

[occultologist]

to me, punk is about being a fag.

[heyitscool1999]

@occultologist To me, punk is telling someone to not troll on youtube

[occultologist]

@heyitscool1999 to me, punk is about telling people what they can and can't do.

[xxeldritchsoulxx]

@occultologist

Ah actually punk is about rebellion,individuality and freedom.Punk is about being against authority not being for it.

[occultologist]

@xxeldritchsoulxx no, punk is about pretending to be all those things, as you've demonstrated by telling me not to troll.

[occultologist]

@xxeldritchsoulxx you're only for individuality when it's positive and affirming, not when it's negative or critical.

[DorakoftheHillPeople]

@occultologist "to me, punk is about being a fag." - occultologist

So, how is that working out for you then?

[PAULisDEADMANnumber9]

To me, Punk isn't about being or looking a certain way, its about being and doing what you want and how you feel. Thats punk, going against what's popular and "accepted."

[AlejandroLR1995]

Seven Ages of Rock .lm|

[hiddenfire65]

If we're discussing roots, I think that this actually sounds a bit like Pink Floyd's early singles with the driving bass and echoey sound. The vocal line is not inconsistent with something Syd would have done, too.

[Ephenay]

bob dylan started punk in the village before he got the flu just jokin it doesnt matter who started punk only matters who made it famous n introduced alotta kids to crappy music despite all the criticism from real hardcore punks like yourselves

[deftones311100]

blah,blah,blah, the ramones sucked! and iron maiden really sux a fat one(80s butt rock) btw the ramones were not the only ones that started punk. ever heard of the new york dolls?

[zosothedestroyer]

@deftones311100 ever heard of the stooges? I can do this all day bud

[irondeth2]

the ramones ain't got on the damned, i don't care what people say about them the ramones were a poppy band with lyrics about high school and one member is a bush supporter.

[carguy12345678910]

This song is so cool when your stoned the drums sound like machine guns

[carguy12345678910]

I saw The Damned on halloween. they played a 3 hour show i had to leave early cause they were going to start charging money for parking and i had to school to school the next day. Well worth it!

[obeybeto83]

#HowToMakeIt

[MorbidBliss22]

Listen to those fucking DRUMS.

[EntouragMusic]

[carguy12345678910]

I saw the damned on halloween not i cant get this song out of my head.

[therbs442]

You wanna go back to the roots you gotta go to Detroit in the late 60's Iggy and the Stooges, MC5, the Rationals

[JjGhosting]

@therbs442 you'd have to go further than that brother, the sonics were playing punk in 65

[jsbret2729]

hes a VERY underrated guitarist

[Bamafiend2010]

Always better than the sex pistols

[kepone405]

haven't listened to this in ages and I forgot how awesome this song really is :D

[whiskey313]

Seven Ages of Rock intro!!! =)

[JimmyDFFDBorneo]

@whiskey313 Those were some awful and inaccurate documentaries.

[soumyaaymous]

@JimmyDFFDBorneo why do u say that ?

[deadboydansmith089]

i love new wave of mu-sick 0i

[Jav0889]

you guys are all arguing about punk, but all I can hear here is rock n roll... and very good rock n roll

[LORDGOAT1976]

I used to have a punk comp, that had The Adverts, X Ray Specs, um hm now I forget lol.

[SauerkrautProduction]

I keep seeing these bands that started punk in the comments and no one has mentioned THE RUTS. If you don't know you better ask somebody.

[pfl95]

@SauerkrautProduction what's their best song?

[SauerkrautProduction]

@pfl95 @pfl95 In a Rut, Babylons Burning, Staring At the Rude Boys (which was covered really well by Gallows, a new but really good punk band), Demolition Dancing. It's all good. they really helped invent punk around the same time as the clash. The Damned were actually big fans. They also did a memorial concert with Henry Rollins. You can find it on youtube that was pretty cool.

[1234HELLBOUND]

@pfl95 NEAT,neat, neat

[pfl95]

ramones

buzzcocks

sex pistols

the clash

the damned...

Any Punk Compliation albums?

[edgar6888]

yyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaa­aaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[qazxsw9871]

this is about as good as straight up punk gets. this and the stooges. why waste time lamenting the sorry state of rock today when you can just flip this stuff on and forget all about it?

[frogmanandy]

@qazxsw9871 thank you

[mansoldworld]

/watch?v=vB0WOAX5woI

[rutlandplace]

[zachuto]

ive always liked british punk more than american punk

[mikekadas]

New Rose - The Damned [London, England] - 1977 - "AMG Pick. And thus U.K. punk was born, in the simplest but most brilliant of ways, with Brian James' deathless anthem of nuclear-strength romantic angst untroubled by bad vibes. ...Rat Scabies' pounding drums,..." - Damned Damned Damned [30th Anniversary Expanded Edition] (Castle US) (Disc 1)-2007. NOTE: Just get the single CD version and you won't be missing much.

[loveisawave]

daaaaaaaaaaaveeeeeeeeeee.

[JaredNorman]

Who would dislike this song?

[BookOfTheDead89]

My vote for greatest punk song ever

[euqsabtnatillim]

This whole album shits on everything.The early perfomances of the damned were an excursion into the real meaning of punk.Smack, pills, headbuts and safety pins.

[nothingbutrock666]

I really like the large amount of overdrive in this song!!!

[TheLagunaSunrise]

pulsating song.

[leeriley66]

True founders of PUNK? No, it was probably more like The New York Dolls with Johnny Thunders. Punk was a joke in the USA but once it hit the UK they turned it into something more serious and political.

[dolly11001]

lekker vet punk 

[MrBelong1995]

The true founders of punk :D

[aivopark]

The album cover says it all, there is a new sheriff in town!

[KrystleMethxx]

yeah we fucking get it, you think you're hot shit because you listen to this music, point made.

[jacker1962]

This is the greatest record of all time!! My opinion is the only one that matters, to me!!!

[TheSuburbanGoat]

one of the best punk songs

[spokrocks]

This makes me want to brake stuff

[leeriley66]

@spokrocks I know. I just broke a leg.

[pokepunk69]

Oh my Fucking god!!! These tom toms at the beggining are as powerful and beautiful and raw as a woman's womb in the middle of an orgasm just awaiting for one of the best punk songs ever!!!!

[curtistuck0]

good punk song

[ReadyToCrashDown]

Eyh? No one doesn't like this song^^

[ReadyToCrashDown]

Yeah! No one don't like this song =)

[davidheadon]

most early 80s hardcore pales next to this.

[Petrrise]

Roots of punk rock=Roots of Rock´n´Roll ;-)

[xXBullets69Xx]

@Petrrise thats just dumb man seriously i hate it when wannabe know it alls think they know a thing or two about music when in reality they know nothing but still try and make a valid point and fail in the process. than it just come off as stupidity and you make yourself look like an asshole at the same time. so next time you want to make a comment like that in hopes to get "thumbs up" at least know youre rock n roll history fricken dumbass.

[zosothedestroyer]

@xXBullets69Xx haha i dont see anything wrong with what he said

[aivopark]

Look at the cover and you know it is something better than the normal bullshit music!

[gmartinz01]

Wasn't this the first single released in the U.K. from the English punk scene?

[connorthesaucejones]

and the "hardcore" bands think that they're punk compared to this

[metalyouth666]

long lived the damned. \m/

[GRAFFDEMON]

Cant beat those fucking drums! :D

[DeanFirefly]

Brilliant live back in the 70s

[helenkrump]

@DeanFirefly Oh hell yeah--the first proper punk show I ever saw live at The Starwood, Los Angeles CA, 1977. The Damned were really, really great live, I'd put them right up there with The Ramones for live shows.

[BLUEANDY2525]

It still amazes me every time I hear this or 'Anarchy In The Uk' or 'Ever Fallen In Love...' or 'Tommy Gun' or loads and loads more how much fresher, angrier, relevant, exciting, ALIVE this music sounds than what is being produced thirty years later. Thank god I was 18 then and not now!!!

[halfcabdisaster7]

Is she really going out with him?

[ALCA112]

how can you classify this band as new wave when this was the first uk punk single

[BillyGR13]

First punk single in UK...1979!!!!

[mooresy84]

@BillyGR13 it was 1976 not 79

[cheetah7769]

"is she really going out w/him?"reminds me of "Jilted John".Poison Idea's cover of this is great! no "JJ"vibe,there!

[chinbopper69]

i listen to alot of hardcore punk but its always good to go back to the roots of punk

[Punk93Metal]

Me too. I nice to listen to the bands that started it all. The Ramones, the Buzzcocks, the Damned etc.

[chrisgellroy]

Sorry but these are at best New Wave. There remains a distinct difference.

Rob Craver

[zosothedestroyer]

new wave are you kidding me?

[chrisgellroy]

The Ramones more New Wave Beach Boys.

Robert Craver

[a1stooge]

@Punk93Metal the germs?

[Punk93Metal]

Germs are also great!

[vanuaturocks]

@Punk93Metal It's funny that you mention The Germs because according to What We Do Is Secret, The Germs hated The Damned and always made fun of them, and Darby once dumped flour on The Damned.

[ThrashandDestory]

@vanuaturocks

Never heard that story.

[TheTHESTOOGE]

@vanuaturocks what we do is secret is purely a movie, so is true alot is not. its not like a documentry or anything so it is possible the germs liked the damned.

[Rhysspiecesify]

@Punk93Metal Right! Nevermind The Kinks, The Trashmen etc. The bands that had that punk energy long ago. The sound and energy that no one was prepared for back in 1963..While the Beatles were too busy holding your hand.....

[Punk93Metal]

@Rhysspiecesify

Cry me a fuckin' river.

[Rhysspiecesify]

@Punk93Metal Boohoo.. You know it's true. Have a listen...

[zosothedestroyer]

@Rhysspiecesify haha while the beatles were busy holding hands, the velvets were singing about shooting heroin ;)

[086love]

@zosothedestroyer The beatles sang about shooting heroin, doing lsd, you name it. ignoramus

[zosothedestroyer]

@086love please, give me a Beatles song where they explicitly sang about shooting heroin, fucker

[irondeth2]

@zosothedestroyer the beatles did a lot of drugs but they never sang about doing it.

[zosothedestroyer]

@irondeth2 no shit bro. And the "one ramones member is a bush supporter." Johnny Ramone was right wing from the beginning, "was" as in hes dead so he "was" a bush supporter. Can't think of anything more punk than to actually think for yourself, which is what he did

[irondeth2]

@zosothedestroyer well, whatever they still suck and were poppy band.

[zosothedestroyer]

@irondeth2 they started punk....all of those UK bands copied everything the ramones did. Which is why you had guys like the clash showing up to early punk shows in leather jackets. But it must be hard for you to understand, considering you're into maiden haha. Maiden's not just a horrible band, but has horrifically stupid fans as well

[irondeth2]

@zosothedestroyer dude i'm not english.

[zosothedestroyer]

@irondeth2 but the damned are....

[keddw]

@zosothedestroyer Have you ever heard of the Pub Rock scene in London and elsewhere in England, in the late 60's and 70's? That was THE most important part of the proto punk scene in England, though the New York scene was obviously an influence but there was no 'rip off' despite your partisan bla bla

[zosothedestroyer]

@keddw try and give me a single English pub rock band that was as influential as the ramones on punk there slick. I don't think you can

[keddw]

@zosothedestroyer As far as the English Punk scene goes: Kilburn and the High Roads, Heavy Metal kids, Eddie and the Hot Rods, Elvis Costello, Nick Lowe, The Stranglers. Also there was the glam scene , Bowie TRex and Mott the Hoople etc.

[zosothedestroyer]

@keddw You really think elvis costello and the stranglers had a bigger impact than the ramones? Sid vicious taught himself how to play bass playing along to ramones albums. And thats the fucking pistols homie

[keddw]

@zosothedestroyerYou don't know much about the English Punk scene, do you?  Sid Vicious wasn't the Pistol's original bassist and besides he only played on one of their tracks, even then that was overdubbed and almost lost in the mix. I'm a fan of the Ramones but you are overstating their influence. I am 50 next month and was in London at the time, were you?

[zosothedestroyer]

@keddw dosent matter, sid could barely play bass, but the point i'm getting at was he did it to the ramones. Im overstating their influence haha? What about the beatles....did elvis costello influence more muscians then them too? England took punk and made it a fashion trend, it didn't revolutionize it with its pub and glam rock.....

[keddw]

@zosothedestroyer He did try to learn the bass to the Ramones because it was simple yet still couldn't play. He was not a songwriter, musician or even a trendsetter. However Elvis Costello- and others from that scene- did influence the movement in a big way in terms of lyric writing and defiant attitude.. . Anyway you weren't there and therefore you don't really understand the music, it's roots and influences, and the culture of the 70's in England.

[zosothedestroyer]

@keddw it's roots and influence hahaha.....you mean the mc5 and the stooges? Not seeing many english roots there slick

[keddw]

@zosothedestroyer I raise you 4 Kinks and 4 Beatles

[zosothedestroyer]

@keddw I see your 4 kinks, and raise you 1 johnny thunders and the heartbreakers and 2 richard hell's

[keddw]

@zosothedestroyer I see them but with Richard Hell you're firing blanks there. I raise you 4 Small fACES and  4 high numbers, AKA The Who.

[zosothedestroyer]

@keddw can't fire blanks, love comes in spurts bro. In that case, I'm gonna go all in with the sonics

[dolly11001]

@chinbopper69 death boys is ook heel tof

[dolly11001]

@chinbopper69 death boys is ook heel tof en flamin groovies

[Punkdistribution]

YEAH ! punk's not dead ! ;)

[TheHonguillo]

[jenssalumae2]
