I saw them the first night they'd ever played outside of Tunbridge Wells on the 24 April 1981 supporting the Damned at the music hall in Shrewsbury. Never heard of them and they lumber onstage and animal has a fucking great axe strapped to his side and starts swinging it around our heads at the front. I was 16 and it's without a doubt the best three quid anyone ever spent. Fucking great band.
@@Boilingfrogg Hi mate, true story honest. They met Rat Scabies in a pub and bribed him £2,000 to get them on that tour. It was honestly their first gig outside Tunbridge Wells as I sent the band a letter and Magoo the guitarist wrote back on Izal bog roll that it was their first outside gig and the most gob they'd ever seen. They were fucking phenomenal and I knew from that moment on they would be loved. Met them after another gig at Hanley Victoria Halls in Stoke a year or two after and they are great blokes. Very, very lucky to have been around for that period of music. Punk, new wave, metal, ska and reggae. Every one has it's merits. Got thrashed around in every gig I've been to and every time I've hit the deck there's been a helping hand from a punk helping you up. The nicest people on the planet. Nearly 60 but still love the noise. Best wishes mate, Cuzz, Whitchurch, Shropshire.
@@neilcurran1589 Thanks for that. Yes I believe it's a true story, There's nothing for me to think otherwise? Yeah I just missed out that period with being the age I was at the time. I got into the scene around 12 to 13 years of age, , At around 81 I'd seen a few local bands playing at the community hall not far from my town, Although I got to see crass at Carlisle Market hall back in October 1981 supported by Dirt, I couldn't believe the length of spiky hair these older punks had who were in their late teens early 20s. I felt insignificant with my Hariron jacket and red trousers with sips sown on to them by my mam. Haha 😄
@@Boilingfrogg I'm 14 years of age and a grammar school kid, averagely clever and a mate of mine reaches into his bag on the way home and lends me the 7 inch single of " love song " by the Damned. I've never heard of them but play it and from that 3 minutes onwards my life changed forever. Machine gun etiquette just makes me love them more than ever. From then on it's all systems go and I'm into everything I can read or listen to . Every night I'm listening to John Peel until midnight instead of going to sleep. I'm hearing records the best part of a year before other people cotton on to them and realise they're good. Peel turned me onto the dead Kennedy's, the ruts, the b52s , all manner of wonderful music. I was never into the dressing up or the politics, just the loud, fast aggressive music. It's been a huge part of my life and I'll love it forever. All the best, Cuzz.

I saw them in Preston round about 1983, very intimidating atmosphere for a naive 17 year old.
