Just seen them on their 35th anniversary tour, they still know how to get the crowd going.

@NoxiousRob You lucky, lucky bastard. Machine Gun Etiquette is the first LP I bought, at 13.. still reckon it's their best...but Australia is a tad far from England and I never saw them. Now I'm old... and missing out again! Bummer that Rat isn't drumming, though.

It's not Dave. It's Nick Cotton with his hair greased back.

Dave's vocals suck live as always, but the backing vocals are excellent.

Saw the Damned for the first time as a 16 year old when they were touring the Machine Gun Etiquette album, of which this song is one of the highlights. Great band then and still great fun live - I'm off to see them next month (Vanian and Sensible the only remainders from the classic line-ups, but the Cap is still good value with his banter to the crowd).



Continuing a great BBC tradition of focusing the camera on the bassist during guitar solo.

If the world ends, we should put all the shit that defines who we are in a vault and when future civilizations find it, this song MUST be in that vault.
This song is so fucking great!!
