🖤2023 and The Damned IS still the best!🖤 My dream is to meet Vanian and shake his hand and thank him for him for being him, Captain for the epic playing and being him, Ratt for being Ratt on drums, James for the 1st album but especially Vanian for the best voice, style and Damned history. 🖤TheDamned🖤 Phantasmagoria is still a pivotal moment in Damned History, extraordinarily remarkable as every album they've ever done in it's own rights! Hands down The Damned is the best group ever!
They just finished a new album "So, Who's Paranoid?" and it's actually really good. their last album "Grave Disorder" had some excellent moments as well.
Thus much let me avow-- You are not wrong, who deem That my days have been a dream; Yet if hope has flown away In a night, or in a day, In a vision, or in none, Is it therefore the less gone? All that we see or seem Is but a dream within a dream. ~ Edgar Allen Poe
***** The show was fantastic!! It was as close to a religious experience as I am likely to have. If you ever get an opportunity, I recommend catching them when you can....
This was a very good song for it's time so what if it was a bit pop music it was the era BTW Duran Duran weren't so bad even if they where quite commercial
I'm just saying he reminds me of John cusack here. I like that much better than the glamorous vampire look he maintained for their first decade. I saw them in '83 and I wasn't sure Gloria Swanson wasn't standing in for him.
Forgot how good the damned were. Not sure why they weren't bigger in the late 80s either. They should have been huge when you look at bands like guns n roses in comparison.
@MissSauron3000 Ummm, now that is a vampire! Much, much more sexy than some pseudo-darling of mass-media. Thank's for the head's up! I'd love a poster of this.
Where was this one filmed? I've only ever seen a vid where they're playing this in front of live audience with all these goths dancing in the audience.
Note to all the kids at my school: This is goth!!! Not "Avenged Sevenfold" and certainly NOT "Twilight"!!! So, just because I don't wear a "Rob Zombie" T-shirt does not mean I'm not goth, all it means is your stupid!!! Thank you for reading.

Well said!
Totally agree!
Awesome European drama rock song. Nothing but stone age sounds being made today. These guys perfected their craft by the mid 1980s
He's SO hot...and what a voice!!
I watched this on t.v i was too old for " Hold Tight" lol! just wanted to see the Damned. Dave was soooo gorgeous, still is.
The Damned are the 'Beatles' of Goth! Vanian is a true artist!
All of their music reminds me of my old house and all of my friends and it makes me happier than anything in existence :)
oh yesss makes me shake this video love it
vanian is god
Who doesn't love Dave Vanian, excuse me! They should come for a comeback with all of their old songs and start writing again great Goth songs.
Oh------so lovely
Ohh Man
Phantasmagoria
1 of the best albums of the damned
one of my favorite songs of this album
cheers for uploading this.
Great band, great song! I hope they re-incarnate yet again! And let's see Patrica Morrison in the mix too! :)
Extremely *drools*
As long as we're pointing out Dave moments (lol), I'm going to go with 1:37. *melts into a puddle of fangirl goo* ;)
Swoon
Damned. what a bloody oxymoronic curse.
Phantasmagoria was their best ever.. \
PUNK with melody... as beautiful as bach.
Vanian is gorgeous.
God I love The damned!
Need a time machine to go back and see them from the start.
Sometimes you question reality; sometimes you just go with it and put streaming sheers on your cymbals.
Uhhh *droll* He is really yummi!
Whatever incarnation The Damned went through, they've always been brilliant. Dave Vanian is sorrowfully unappreciated as a lead singer. IMNSHO.
agreed
love love love it.
transilvanian❤
They just finished a new album "So, Who's Paranoid?" and it's actually really good. their last album "Grave Disorder" had some excellent moments as well.
The Beatles of Goth -- I like that!
Thus much let me avow--
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.
~ Edgar Allen Poe
I had a shirt like that.
Something about a man in a ruffley shirt and long jacket that makes it hard to say 'no'. I have a thing for sideburns and vampirey hair as well;^)
Everyone does know the Damned are playing some east coast shows this October. They will be in NYC on Halloween night. I'm gonna go. Anyone else??
I'll be there. Going to the dammed movie in August. Brooklyn
***** The show was fantastic!! It was as close to a religious experience as I am likely to have. If you ever get an opportunity, I recommend catching them when you can....
Barbara Misuraca There's gonna be a movie??
Christian Robinder yes its a documentary chronicling their career. Its called something like don't you wish we were dead
Vanian.
The GothFather.
they have put out two great albums in 2001 and 2008
@mertonparka indeed you my friend have a firm grip on rock and roll as these kids call it
ta chido
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah *screams* i'm in love with 1:08 :D
John Cusack plays Dave Vanian
sabias palavras james , nada preciza ser classificado , é oq é e pronto...
Did he just say "I confide in Burger King" at the 1:57 mark? Lol!
@kamrade1 Whoa what?!?!
relax
This was a very good song for it's time so what if it was a bit pop music it was the era
BTW Duran Duran weren't so bad even if they where quite commercial

Oh yes! Sigh! Dave Vanian!

PMSL fatuesque :D
tony hadley has let himself go
Video starts off a little like the Emmerdale intro...don't you think?
what about bauhaus??
По мойму он людей боиться.
He does look a little like John Cusack...but I have no problems with that! :)
How is Vanian out during the day? Shouldn't he explode into flames? Must just be a lighting trick...
I've loved every incarnation that The Damned have been through. But shit, WTF's up with that skunk on Dave's head?!?! X-D
if you dont like the damned what the"FUCK" are you watching this for!!!! Dave Vanian is the best male vocalist going and a "GOD"!!! Get it???
Note to all the kids at my school:
This is goth!!! Not "Avenged Sevenfold" and certainly NOT "Twilight"!!!
So, just because I don't wear a "Rob Zombie" T-shirt does not mean I'm not goth, all it means is your stupid!!!
Thank you for reading.
David Vanian have you burnt the dinner again LMAO sorry (in joke)
@xyaqua The Beatles where never that cool!

Er--try 1976.
Piss off you wanta be's. Be original. This is the DAMNED.
