like i said how dare you spit on your heros. thank god sid vicious showed us how to deal with dickheads in the audience. slam them over the head with a bass. if you can't handle that, then don't fuck with the brilliant.

My favorite The Damned song. Vanian's smile when he says "night obliterates the day and all the fun begins" is one of the sexiest things I've ever seen. Let's put the bit about the gobbing to bed and get on with the mastery of this very under-rated band!

Dude Vanian's killing this thing! Awesome!

Dave Vanian at his most mesmerisingly beautiful best ♥

Seen them about 25 times!! ..It brings it all back to see the contrast between what the Damned were wanting to do and what the punks who followed them were wanting to hear! They were totally uncompromising in playing this in it's entirity (this is an edit btw). They were showing their psychedelic/goth tendencies and the punks were bewildered, you can see it in their faces!! Even gobbing (which was really big at the time) wasn't going to stop Vanian et-all doing exactly what they wanted to do!!

@eliassailor Just saw 2011 tour on West Coast...Top form indeed.... including The Capt...where Scabies? Damned Damned Damned!!!

Pause at the end of 2:23 right before it hits 2:24 and be ready to laugh at a funny Dave Vanian face.

Just saw them on the tour they're on right now. The band is in top form and Vanians voice is better than it's ever been imho. The most overlooked underrated band of all time.

Field Marshal Slug.... remember?

Wonderful, not seen this clip for well over a decade. I want this playing as my lifeless corpse is burnt to ashes, seen these punk fuckers so many times I've lost count. Edinburgh in November again later this year! here's to the next decade of the Damned. Anyone critical of this band should consider that Damned fan's don't give a rat scabies' arsehole what you think, get a life.

Just looking at all the comments...still my favorite The Damned Song...no matter what Vanian is now, or what he was then, his celluloid soul is eternally, dangerously, sexual and hypnotic. Interesting how many posts are full of hate and weird, nasty energy, as if some psychic dictator from above is decreeing all things cool to have a nasty or violent edge. Some things and people are just funny, just sexy, relax.

@TheJedgeworth I think so. lol Thanks. Also I just realized. I think he's probably kicking someONE off the stage. lol
