@Lytton333 Well said...

@GardnerGoldsmith Well said. I agree, they were the best. I think that's because their notes, both vocal and instrumental, are so crisp - no sloppy anger to get in the way.
-
@graham2ta I thought it was called 'Whatever You Didn't Get' though I may well be wrong because I also recall the gob on Vanian's head being spectacularly lit by by the background lights!
Glad to be proven wrong so many years later.
That programme was the first - and so far pretty much only - time I saw the Kennedys on British TV.

it takes a special kind of moronic twat to not like the Damned

Umm...love The Damned. Vanian, at this time, this place, is sex incarnate, love the guitar, the voyage...epic feeling. Feels like coming home. Part of me will always be the weirdo in elementary and high school, but when I see this (for the hundreth time - never tire of it) I realize that the weirdos conquered the world of hard, ass-biting, fresh art. It's probably been that way since the beginning of time.

Wasnt the CH4 prog called `whatever you want` or something like that, I was at this gig, the Dead kennedys were also filmed at this venue for the same show .

They couldnt play said Nick Mason ( Pink Floyd ) who produced their second album (i think it was their second ) . Im sure Pink Floyd wouldnt play perfect if they played in this tempo .Offcourse without compering them .

Lol.... Was at that gig...... ;)



The Damned are such a unique entity. A crazy cocktail of seriousness,eccentric humour, vaudeville, musical experimentation,chaotic punk reverie,idiosyncratic lyrical reflection, and a host of other things too.. A sort of Mr Hyde to the Beatles' Dr Jeckyll - hence the title of the Black Album.
The Damned's opus should be played at sunset whilst in melancholic mood. Watch the night emerge, and meditate on your own part on the stage of life,and, perhaps, your own coming curtain call..
