think I have played this at least 20 times today. Love it, one guys sings his guts out almost giving himself an embolism, and the other old mate hits play, drinks beer enjoys the fruits of his labours previously in the studio..golden. Only just discovered them today. I'm 50 years old, first got interested in punk as a 12 year old..best thing I've seen and heard in ages.
raindogred As a 50 year old, you must have lived through, and remember a lot of music from when Punk was reasonably new, it was a fresh idea, and it was a powerful statement against the frustrations shared by the underclass. Fast forward nearly 40 years though, and the ''shouty bloke pretending to be angry'' has been absolutely done to death. That approach to creating music can no longer yield ANYTHING that hasn't already been done, or said. At best, you're just guzzling down a flat and diluted version of what was once a strong stance. Its now just a tired, well trodden path, that lazy rebels venture down when they have no new ideas. Instead of embarrassing yourself by chasing these plastic angst pretenders down their one way street to ridicule... I'd dust off your Never Mind The Bollocks LP, and give that a spin. An example of when speaking out was daring and had the balls to carry it
raindogred I discovered them last Saturday on the BBC Glastonbury coverage. Best stuff I've heard in ages, great tunes. Tickets bought for gig in Brighton.
milkminotaur Look, i'll say this only once... You're showing yourself up.... Of course the Sex Pistols were Punk... I mean are you absolutely thick? Seriously are you? Is there anything going on between those ears, other than a lonely tumbleweed blowing around an empty space? There can't be, otherwise you'd have read the content of my comment, realised your own vocabulary was no match for it, and then not made yourself look like a school dropout by commenting with something that hardly makes sense! I hear the word ''cunt'' over & over & over & over (are you bored yet?) & over & over again from you Sleaford Mods fans... It puts me to sleep! Are you all brain-dead? Its as if you read a comment you don't like, and start panicking... but your intellect is limited to a point were you can't conceive any structured opinion to retort with, so you're like, ''Ahhhh, I'm feeling distressed! I can't think of what to do! What do I say when I'm not very clever, ahhhhh!'' And then in desperation you just chuck out the feeble word, ''cunt.'' Haha, you're all ridiculous with your love affaire of that word! Zzz Zzz Zzz
milkminotaur Hmm, I'm highly suspicious of those two kisses at the end of your comment. You do realise I'm another MAN don't you? This coupled with the fact that you're going to see Sleaford Mods in BRIGHTON of all places, sort of paints very pink picture of you! There will probably be a load of non too bright, middle aged skin heads at that gig... I'm not sure how acceptant they'll be of your lifestyle choices. So be careful Elton... I'd probably leave the rainbow flag at home that day, just as a precaution :)
How does he remember all those words? Never drops a beat, and even manages to ad lib extra bits and still keep pace with it. Makes a mockery of other band tosser singers using autocue. I can't get enough of this band. Most refreshing thing in years. Amazing.
popmusicquiz totally agree my friend they are one the most unique bands I've seen in years so clever with iz word play . He sounds like Paul Weller when doing Middle men its like if he gotTourette,s nothing wrong with having Tourettes by way got friends who suffer i said fcking suffer . Jason has got to get a licence for is mouth its a spitting machine gun ... outstanding 🔫🔫💨💨💥💥
Ha! I wondered the same thing and I FINALLY found a live video where Jason W did some improv and fell out of sync with the music, where the verse and chorus ended up landing in the wrong parts. They stopped the song, said, "We're having a bit of a technical problem here!" and then re-started the song. It was fine, just a little blip that people forgot as quickly as it happened -- but to me it was proof that yes, it IS difficult to keep those longwinded rants in sync with the music live. Love these guys, so good!
Majority of the crowd look like they've come downstairs on Christmas morning to find Sleaford Mods have opened all the presents and drank all the booze.
this is one of my favourite performances of Sleaford Mods, it's a perfect gig the audience reaction filmed is incredible, they are witnessing something mind changeing. I love it . Roll on live performances return
+Maximilian Gallant Yeah,also wondering at the same time is he really the only one!? Well,the crowd in there is SO "upper class",constantly concidering what other people think about you.... No,everybody is just stunned!!!!
This is my favourite live vid of these guys, class performance but also the crowd reactions are interesting and funny, they love it and so they should 😂
Wish my dad had taken me to see something like this when I was a small child - like kid in audience. Great stuff. Love this band, remind me of when I first discovered Crass. Breath of fresh air in the beige world of music that exists today.
This is great - I'm actually rocking my head to it, I only heard this band a few clicks ago! The music goes with the vocals fabulously! I am definitely a fan now!!
they don't all get it, but they watch on in amazement. "Blood on the hands of working class rage" Great delivery of that line. Gotta love the families clapping after he shouts "Jolly Fucker!"
Phil Morris creating a piece to look at anytime and replicating a sound live is very different but when it comes to this band it doesn't really matter to me though. With this style of music what they're doing is great. But imagine seeing the rolling stones and having them drink beer while speakers play their music
I cool man i got what you ment, you weren't attackingvthe dude just saying live he has a great job sure he does shotloads for the music behind the scenes! These dudes above just took it the wrong way! Haha
Phil Morris Not quite the same thing thought is it? The Mona Lisa is a priceless piece of genius painted by one of the most inspiration minds that ever graced the planet. Sleaford Mods ''laptop productions'' on the other hand, are achievable (and indeed HAVE been achieved) by the majority of 14 year old wannabe DJs, un in the bedrooms of their parents house. If I was the creator of such easy, and lazy work... I think I'd opt with NOT touring it, if I didn't have to. Not only out of the embarrassment of having my face associated with it, but also for the reason that's clear on here. You're opening yourself up for ridicule, sniggering, and people laughing and taking the piss out of you... Don't you think he looks mentally challenged when he's stood there doing nothing, just swaying vacantly back and forth? The whole act, thankfully, will have retreated out of everyone's (except diehard fans) memory within a couple of years anyway... And not a moment too soon! Utterly talentless
Brilliant! Your daughter had more taste than some moaning minnies on this thread. Do they expect that all music should conform with their and Simon says ideas of manufactured drivel? One wonders what they hope to achieve here
I discovered this duo about a week ago. Just in awe of their work. This is remarkable performance at an unusual venue for an atypical audience. The vocals and production sound excellent.
Man....these fuckers are the cat's knackers....best act on the scene hands down....Stay pumped and passionate lads cos we need you now more than ever.Sheer class.
now the industry is going to sponge this and make it into industrial grade pop. it's brilliant, has more in common with post-hardcore than anything else, and has clear english pedigree. but they seem ahead of the curve. what others have said I think might be true - this is the sound of disenfranchised britain. dark clouds on the horizon, might get scary soon
Well said. Don't think these guys are for sponging though. Too long in the tooth. They'll do their thing and let the chips lie where they fall. Can't really see anyone in marketing influencing these in any way whatsoever. Not at all mate. Real people, real stories. Just like being in a normal boozer. Ever see the first series of shameless? That was actually pretty accurate. Like the royal family.
Andrew Fearn is basically Ike Turner! Sleaford Mods are fantastic and they both contribute equally for people who care to do a bit of research on them. ❤️👌🏻
Amazing, this is brilliant, pop round mate give you a fiver, FIZZY, Jobseeker, Tiswas, Corgi, 19.2 top, Jason Williamson is a genius remembering it all, I tell my nipper it's all gone wrong, lol.
these versions of middle men and jolly fucker are better than the album versions definitely. they are actually perfect and i love it when james goes whoa!!! as punctuation.
***** There's just quite a stereotypical view of a EDL marcher and these guys just fit it so well. I know they're not though. Just wandering but what song do they rip apart the EDL in?
I saw them last week in Northampton and met them at a record shop prior to the gig. It was packed out. They were Fucking Mental and i will definitely go and see them again. They were really sound Geezers too. No ego`s
Yo - if they're enjoying the music, or even just listening to it, they might learn something. Listen, that Craig fella is a bit of a knob but you know what?v he listens to all their tunes. He says he doesn't like them but he keeps coming back for more. You know why?

@@robin3 it's still pretty impressive tho

Yeah I love this too ever thought they might be made up by 1984 big brother types to keep us off the boil tho?
The guy with the glasses and the papercup is pretty much the only one who really gets it.
like me on my 60plus
sleaford mods is like listening to your adhd mate rant about politics at 3 am on a sunday morning after a 3 day sesh and i fuckin love it
Majority of the crowd look like they've come downstairs on Christmas morning to find Sleaford Mods have opened all the presents and drank all the booze.
Haha
Lol no joke mate.
this is one of my favourite performances of Sleaford Mods, it's a perfect gig the audience reaction filmed is incredible, they are witnessing something mind changeing. I love it . Roll on live performances return
and it should be released as a Live album.
There is no other band in the world quite like sleaford mods. 8 years after this performance and they’re still peerless
Bloke in the glasses gets it
+Maximilian Gallant thats for sure
+Maximilian Gallant Yeah, wtf with the rest of the crowd? Too afraid to let slip they have emotions, I guess.
+Maximilian Gallant Yeah,also wondering at the same time is he really the only one!? Well,the crowd in there is SO "upper class",constantly concidering what other people think about you.... No,everybody is just stunned!!!!
+Maximilian Gallant almost enough to put his cup of tea down ;-)
naaa Hipster twat in glasses doesn't get it (but should), grey t shirt, paper cup and glasses does get it (but not regularly)
These guys made me clean up my Crass albums and my Conflict albums. Thank you guys you are amazing!!
This is my favourite live vid of these guys, class performance but also the crowd reactions are interesting and funny, they love it and so they should 😂
So great ! I'm 53, french and I love your music and your words.... Longue vie à votre duo !
Wish my dad had taken me to see something like this when I was a small child - like kid in audience. Great stuff. Love this band, remind me of when I first discovered Crass. Breath of fresh air in the beige world of music that exists today.
What a fucking top breath of fresh air these 2 fellas are.....Top ba-fuckin-narna
This is great - I'm actually rocking my head to it, I only heard this band a few clicks ago! The music goes with the vocals fabulously! I am definitely a fan now!!
This vid made me a mods fan years ago ...cut to now still coming back to this performance and it's still blowing me away
greetings from Slovenia. I want to be Sleaford mods when I grow up.
at 5:40, there is acutally a guy singing along !! Big up's for this man, and for this band !! Never change !!
they don't all get it, but they watch on in amazement.
"Blood on the hands of working class rage" Great delivery of that line. Gotta love the families clapping after he shouts "Jolly Fucker!"
Andrew Fearn has the easiest job in the world. Press Play & sip on beer, what a hero haha
? how? he writes the music, you think its not hard to just stand there? much easier to hide behind a bass.
So if Leonardo da Vinci toured with the Mona Lisa you'd say you've got no talent mate all you do is stand there,,,

me he vuelto gran fan de esta banda, es fresca y sincera al cantar, espero vengan a México
my daughter loves this rapper. she's 3 !
Brilliant! Your daughter had more taste than some moaning minnies on this thread. Do they expect that all music should conform with their and Simon says ideas of manufactured drivel? One wonders what they hope to achieve here
one of the coolest new sounds i heard for a while,Hurray for electronics and the Sleaford Mods,love modern punk.
Watching them write the first song in that little mini-doc was so cool! Great to see the end product. What a banger!
I discovered this duo about a week ago. Just in awe of their work. This is remarkable performance at an unusual venue for an atypical audience. The vocals and production sound excellent.
Went to see them In Leeds last Monday [28th September 2015] = brilliant live and the place was buzzing! :D
+N G One Seven Lucky You!!!!!!! We`"re still waiting (hoping)here in Finland.
What a brilliant performance!
Man....these fuckers are the cat's knackers....best act on the scene hands down....Stay pumped and passionate lads cos we need you now more than ever.Sheer class.
Apparently, it was bring your kids to work day. Love the kid filming on his phone, making the WTF face?! Priceless.
Jason pulls this face in Second
And Mark E Smith smokes a cigarette and nails a Fosters in heaven
Love that the DJ is using a standard-issue Dell PC, the kind you issued by the IT guy at your office job.
I will always thank Cedrix Bixlar for introducing me to these guys
Same here!!
now the industry is going to sponge this and make it into industrial grade pop. it's brilliant, has more in common with post-hardcore than anything else, and has clear english pedigree. but they seem ahead of the curve.

definitely in the tradition of John Cooper Clarke and Mark E Smith
You were right.
очень круто!
just been listening to Sleaford Mods for only 1 hour on a youtube bender i i'm fucking hooked
Hello to the people who get the ‘shabba’ reference at 7:10
This is the real United Kingdom.
I hear some J. Rotten
The Prodigy, blinding new album and an introduction to a blinding act!
Cheers lads!
Andrew Fearn is basically Ike Turner! Sleaford Mods are fantastic and they both contribute equally for people who care to do a bit of research on them. ❤️👌🏻
Still fuckin love it! So glad I discovered them. Can't wait for the new album!!
Loving this band more and more I listen
Amazing, this is brilliant, pop round mate give you a fiver, FIZZY, Jobseeker, Tiswas, Corgi, 19.2 top, Jason Williamson is a genius remembering it all, I tell my nipper it's all gone wrong, lol.
Best thing i have heard out of the UK for some time.....who needs top 10
This is addictive!
I didn't like it much it first but after listening to the albums I absolutely love it now
I love this. I think they are brilliant
fabulous band,big energy.
Probably my favourite live Sleaford Mods vide. Fucking love it!!! WOH!
these versions of middle men and jolly fucker are better than the album versions definitely. they are actually perfect and i love it when james goes whoa!!! as punctuation.
+david lister sorry jason not james ..think i just undermined my point in rubbish with names
try edit
Baa baa crack sheep, have you any rock?
Genius.
Middle men, the metropolis of discontent.. red and orange lights and old men.
concrete and dog shit,
don't suck your crunchie emily.
Reminds me of Crass.
Steve Ignorant gave em big ups
The Jonny Borrell bit is genius
I always come back to this. Superb. Raw as fuck.
I love this, this is so Punk! Fucking amazing! Everything! The attitude, the music, the lyrics! Urban Poetry!
Discovered these guys yesterday. Holy fuck is all I need to say.
Smashed it at Glastonbury. Fucking class.
Great set. It's nice to see the crowd at least appreciate the effort 😂
crass.. pistols... uk subs...banshes..joy division ....sleaford mods ...genius
The Dutchies are very good at standing around :D
Real punk in its best form
you wish
It's post-punk if anything. But there are clear similarities.
punk rock is dead. long live punk rock. Sleaford Mods style.
@@sunepedersen8537 shut up with all that genres. It's punk af.
Jason totally storming it. Suspect several children there to now be deeply traumatised though!
What a happy microphone.
"Its all attitude!" Philosopher Cosmo Kramer 🏆
Amazing.
These Dudes are AWESOME
Dude with the glasses is thinking, I found them first!
witaj u polskiego słuchacza!!! kawałek z PRODIGY jest the best!!!!
Awesome!! They are going to be BIG!!! Respect your way! :)
Damn the sound is so good here!!!
Donny in the glasses has my respect indefinitely
cant wait to see these live in 2016
johnny rotten and bez
glad too see the kids enjoying it
see em in Southampton and very pc lol.
long live sleafords
fuckin right. love this shit
Love it but can't help but feel when I'm watching/listening to them that I'm part of an EDL march
+S Miller Even though thery kinda tear EDL to ribbons in one song. ;)
***** There's just quite a stereotypical view of a EDL marcher and these guys just fit it so well. I know they're not though. Just wandering but what song do they rip apart the EDL in?
What a fuckn daft thing to type.bottom of the class.
Strange
Satire my friend!!!
Memories of Ian Dury
ridiculously good
Got to come bck to this middle men what a track clear the cob webbs a bit u no what i mean bit wound up respect sleaford mods .... 😡✌🔥💯
This is brilliant. I wonder if they have any tickets left for Friday..
I saw them last week in Northampton and met them at a record shop prior to the gig. It was packed out. They were Fucking Mental and i will definitely go and see them again. They were really sound Geezers too. No ego`s
Look at all the children's faces in the background at 5:00 they are loving it!
So good
Brilliant so up there!!!! Bang out another.....
they are starring, not listening and thinking, funk, my job and life is shite, love it, SL playin em
Raging man surrounded by his enemies
Paper cup and Fred Perry chap has spent the day enjoying himself by the looks of it.
I cooked for them later on that evening. Great lads!
This is fookin' art professor!
Whose smart idea was it to bring the kid there? “ Daddy, I want to see what mods look like.” 😂
their beats are infective
:-)
Stunning
Bo Bo Bo Bo Bo Bo - best opening line ever! New LABOUR - NEW DANGER!!! Love it...
Luv it!
I wonder whether or not the audience realise the Mods are singing about them?
Probably not, most people just hear angry incoherent rants, and don't bother analysing the lyrics, pretty working class poetry.
Best band ever!
Them kids are like 'This is best thing that's ever happend to me' hahah
Half that audience have no place at a Sleaford Mods gig - more.
Yo - if they're enjoying the music, or even just listening to it, they might learn something. Listen, that Craig fella is a bit of a knob but you know what?v he listens to all their tunes. He says he doesn't like them but he keeps coming back for more. You know why?
Excellent! Thanks for sharing (Y)
truly a gem this duo is . this gig has the most boring crowd Ive ever seen. out of place , which makes it even more relevant . come and see them live, that's where it's at
"Middle Men", when day has already been shitty and it's still early in the morning... Dangerous!
True cool
Gotta love a song which references spit the dog!!!!
They got it. Good to see.
