Pop Will Eat Itself - Beaver Patrol

Cover of the Wild Knights from The Poppies 1987 album, Box Frenzy. I recorded this rarely seen video from The Chart Show, i think the band pretty much disowned it as it never featured on any of their compilations.

What's Clint's t-shirt?

It seems to say "GET UGLY" but it's not PWEI artwork underneath. Is it from a comic book or something?

[badtracking]

@DustyCustard It's the cover of a 2000AD comic.

Is Clint touring with them in the Autumn? Not gonna be the proper 25th tour without him.

[badtracking]

@venezia0875 Graham Crabb is the only original member, Clint has been replaced by the bloke who used to sing in Gaye Bykers On Acid. The drummer is a session musician who's played with Bullet For My Valentine and Bill Bailey?! Think i'll be giving it a miss.

you can kind of tell from the look on Clint's face that he knows he's going to go on to create some award winning film scores in the 21st century

@cockywatchman1976 When I first listened to 1987 by the JAMs I thought it was silly too. But it was funny. It had a bratty, juvenile sense of humor that I could relate to at the time. Same deal with the Beastie Boys. Most people thought it was just flash in the pan, nonsense, had no future. Then one day these people are on TOTP. And everyone just laughs along with the joke. Somewhere along the line they end up becoming "real" artists. You're just not in on the joke.

[cockywatchman1976]

@deejayalemus The reason I have to SPELL it out is because you are clearly a bit simple-I dont USUALLY do this. Industrial WTF is that. See for you it's about image, belonging toa group etc. I don't give a shit about that-I like music for being good music. I'd rather listen to Steps than this turd. Honestly its dire-do you have to be on LSD or something, am I missing something?

[cockywatchman1976]

@deejayalemus Are you simple? I DID CRITIQUE THE MUSIC right at the start. I will again now-tuneless, cant play instruments, stupid lyrics-just bloody awful. More a sound than music. Then I got a load of abuse by morons like you. DONT TWIST IT ROUND YOU MUPPET. You're right, music is opinions and personal, heres mine-this is dire tripe-you just can't accept an opinion-it touches a nerve I think.

[deejayalemus]

@cockywatchman1976 What I have typed is my opinion, and has only as much weight as you give it. When you insult people who like things you don't like, don't expect a thank you card. I notice DOUCHEBAGS like to randomly captialize things. Ambient rock, classic rock, rock, rock, classic rock, grunge rock, whoever. You like all sorts of rock. Even your rock choices are boring. No industrial, no metal, no stoner, no blues.

@cockywatchman1976 If you want to be taken seriously, critique the music not the fans. A lot of people didn't think much of hip hop either (cue your outrage here) until it gained pop success. Music is just organized noise. Some people find it interesting. I imagine you have no love for dubstep, but to argue that it's not music is just as ignorant. /wiki/Clint_Mansell one of these days and tell me how much of a loser and misfit he is. Music is what you like, not who you are.

[cockywatchman1976]

@deejayalemus contd but this??? ITS NOT MUSIC. Its just a collection of sounds. Since THEY promoted it, I have a right to critique it. And like MOST people I think it's complete pants. That's why noone but society misfits-like yourself, listen to it. BEEEEAVVERR PATROL. LMAO

[cockywatchman1976]

@deejayalemus What you have typed is complete gash. Here is what happened...I'm watching Soccer Am-two guys froma band called PWEI are on PROMOTING their music. I've heard of it, but have no idea what the music is like.I got to youtube check it out and hear a load of garbage.Youtube has a comments/opinions section-I use this.MORONS LIKE YOU take it as personaly attacking them.Its not.THIS IS-YOU'RE A CRETIN.Floyd,The Who,Waters,Stone Roses,Oasis,Led Zep,Smashing pumpkins,OCS-I like all sorts

[deejayalemus]

@cockywatchman1976 No, you just go around to obscure late 80s PWEI videos and take a shit on their fans. Say what you want, but don't expect any less derision than you are sowing. "You don't have to have integrity!

You don't have to have ability!

So listen kiddies, it's true what they say!

You don't need respectability!" PWEI never took themselves too seriously, don't see why you do. Go listen to your dad rock.
