In 1985 The Exploited came to No. California and I hung out with them in San Francisco at their On,Broadway show and took acid with big John. The next week we all carpooled up to Sacramento for their show up there. After the show, I took Wattie and the band to my house where the party's always were. I rode all over downtown Sacto on my Honda Intercepter motorcycle with Wattie on the back! In 1985, he was just like he is in this interview-still can't understand half what he says! :-) Fuck I love this guy! Glad he's still alive and PUNK AS FUCK! Great interview.
The combination of being a scatterbrained individual with a Scottish accent is deadly, no one will ever understand what he’s saying but we still love him
Still my fave 'punk' band. And after watching this I'm confirmed that they were heavier and had an own style, great riffs, more metal and grindcore, He's mentioning Discharge, my second fave, real heavy too. And can image that these guys have influenced Napalm Death
Cool interview, Erin. Great band. I saw the Exploited open for The Ramones in 1980 in Scotland. Linda was there as well. Great show, good times, and this is a great channel.
Great interview! Wattie is a TRUE legend, and he seems pretty cool to boot....I loved how he just couldn't let his hatred for nazis go! It's cool he's still passionate about his beliefs
You see Wattie is a real punk: brutally honest and will always defend what he believes in and thinks is right and is always ready to fight. That's why he will always attract trouble, especially from the people who he calls out for being flakes.
this chick is awesome. i think she is as much as a punk as any of us and i appreciate the fact that she puts in the work for these interviews and i think she is pretty cool herself. she is so fucking hot.
As a old punk 77 to 82,i remember when these started,to be honest they were everything alot punks hated,a mix of skin and punk which turned into oi.Just my view from my time as a punk. debs
Or ...you have lived in Scotland to understand this :) ;) ! . Although I´m german, I had to translate sometimes to especially americans what people were saying ......but however for sure, Wattie is from the street and not grew up in an academic rich family hood where you have maybe more a diplomatic expression ;) . As I know, he is from East Kilbride, a town surround Glasgow before he founded Exploited in Edinburgh.
Much respect for Wattie for owning spga, and especially a small one as if it's a fur baby. A lot of great stories with this guy. I had no idea he had 5 heart attacks. I'm sure he chose to lay off the partying. Thanks for doing the interview with Wattie. Great outfit you got on as always.
Believe me it sadly is. No police man cares about punks because they don't know what it is. Back in the 90s if you wore an exploited shirt or a jran jacket with a single band pach they would close you in and burn the clothes. Everyone forgot about this music and the only way to find out about it is if you find someone in your school who listens to it or if a friend told you about it. So yea, it is dead...
@@yourkeel9012 I've been gigging and running shows in a very active punk scene for years, might be dead for you, but for myself and many others its very much alive.
@@HenaPunk no for me not at all I'm 14 and I'm trying to support punk and BE punk as much as I can. It's just the fact that it's not as famous as it used to be. Maybe it's good because it has an underground style. But no body is aware of it anymore. I didn't say it's dead as a music or so. It's dead in our society.
@@yourkeel9012 Where are you based dude? I'm sure there will be a punk scene somewhere nearby it just takes some work finding it. You're right it's definitely not as mainstream as it once was but I dont think thats a bad thing. As you said being underground can be a positive.
@@HenaPunk yea. Maybe it is nice. But in Greece where I live not many punks exist anymore so perhaps it has died a bit here. But I will find someone who listens to punk some day! Till then let's keep on listening to it and keep the music alive🤘
Wattie actually seems a bit more chilled for him than normal haha. Will always love the Exploited, first band I ever really got into, hope that they can put out another album.
Have you heard the album let’s start a war? That was the first exploited album I ever owned probably one of the most aggressive hardcore albums I’ve ever heard got me totally hooked to aggressive music
"Old punks never die, they just smell that way." I totally understand and respect what you say about not wanting to put out a bad album, but come on with the new album already!
Wattie, I also have a yappy ass Pomeranian. Fuck what haters think. My Pommie is my sidekick an best friend. Been a huge fan sense the 80's an still am!!
dude is STILL a speeded up fireplug who can't sit still no different than an interview from the Rock n Roll Outlaws doc in the friggin late 80s 😶 ... saw he collapsed onstage in Colombia this month... please punk gods don't take this uriah just yet ❤️🔥
Glad to see Wattie is doing better. Thanks to Erin and Wattie for doing a great interview! Erin, you asked some tough questions about Nazism and I'm glad you gave him a chance to clear stuff up. You could really see him getting upset about anonymous people spreading rumors. Wattie -- you should do a song about Hamster People on the Internet! When are ya'll coming back to Texas ?
@@alanhansmannkurtcobain8811 whats funny?..........did someone speaking their mind and living their life ruin your compassion?...wilt your lettuce leaf?.........upset your mungbeans?........bloody hippie
@@realsinisterminister No, I don't hate any "punk," I just think Capitalism ruined my life and the scene with violence. Too much "punk" is just Major Label pop culture and a Capitalist heirarchy of Republican anticorporate music. I don't hate it, but the planet is going to renew itself, brother. I'm just me, I can tell that Capitalism is just greed and hate in the "punk" scene and shouldn't be supported.
Ok "punks" can you explain me why you can judge if someone is punk? That's not really punk, you know? You comment on her hair, clothes and other things... I mean, why? She's clearly not acting because it's obvious that she loves what she does and this is the main thing. Go to judge yourself instead, for such bad comments - and that's more punk.
The exploited is one of the best Wicked bands out there they're real and not about the money these are punks that's what I'm talkin about awesome band...
Sex and Violence was a title of a punk song written by a band from Edinburgh called Matt Vinyl & The Decorators back in 77 . Dunno if this is a cover or 2 same titled songs..
This chick is a fashion disaster. 40 years ago hell even 30 she would have not been such a "Hot Topic" but now... regurge fashion. Also, this interview, as far as Wattie is concerned, reminds me of Spud's job interview in Trainspotting. lol DOn't get me wrong I love me some Wattie. Keep it up dude
I saw The Exploited, here in Atlanta, around 1990 or '91. Before the show, I went upstairs to use the bathroom, and Wattie was shooting pool. I came back down, and told my friend, Gypsy, and she went up, then came back down and said, "We just got invited to the after party". After the show, we all headed to the Yacht Club, and were greeted by five Atlanta PD who put us all against the wall. I looked over at Wattie, who was quiet and looked bored, like he'd been through it a thousand times. They let us go, and we went into the bar- Sure wish I had a pic of all of us against the wall, lol.
The Exploited at Bogarts in Cincinnati in The Eighties was a great show... They talked to us on the street the afternoon before the show. Played "Sex and Violence" twice, lol.
Wish I was there but, I was introduced “Death Before Dishonor”, “Let’s Start A War Said Maggie One Day…” & my favorite “Horror Epics”. I heard wild stories of The Exploited in Cincinnati somewhere 1987-88 I think… Skins and the Punk’s were at war but, later came to terms… one story I can little detail you is Wattie ended up going out that night after the bogarts show with an old friend I know that ended up shooting up that H garbage and getting their ass beating including with a 2x4 wood in the basement of someone’s house… went to the hospital and……. it was gnarly and Wattie came out like never happened… it’s a legend but, one thing is Wattie carried himself well and never bragged one bit of his past too much… little stories he’ll share but, not all the darkest and f’d up ones! Wattie and the Exploited are definitely better than any heavy metal ban from past to future cause none of them lived as dark as his life has been. What a legend. As a former skinhead I’m glad I found this band as a young teenager I have huge love for our old Punk’d and skins of the past but, the youth has a lot of learning, research and educating themselves and can learn alot from us. The best quote I’ve ever heard from a punk “Bath in Old’E English Malt Liquor & you’ll stay Young forever…” whelp… what do you know… 47 and still looking young but, a little speckles of grey.
I went to see GANG GREEN and JERRY'S KIDS when they played London in 1988 (or maybe '89) and THE EXPLOITED were the local UK band. I remember everyone was gobbing at the band and Wattie was gobbing back at everyone. Good times. LOL
I went all out with that fashion punk shit when I was in high school, listening The Casualties and of course, the Exploited from time to time (don't listen to The Casualties anymore, for obvious reasons). People were surprised a fuckin' punk could have a chihuahua. So I can defo relate to Wattie on this front.
I've only just found this channel and the amount of band's being interviewed that I've seen late 70s early 80s is amazing, I had forgot how long ago it was, I can remember Watty having a fight with a bouncer at the Gala club in Norwich 1982 .
I'm not an actual punk fan but I like a few punk songs from few bands. But when I listened to The Exploited's Death Before Dishonor cassette back in my high school years...OH SHIT! I was so fucking hooked!! I still listen to that album now in my 40's. That album is my all time favorite. Also like Let's Start a War album.
Luv the man ALOT im Scottish and an old man/Skinhead punk with Exploited tattoos all over my body wish he would have gave us a bit of a break. but I understand esp today.
"every day is a bonus" he says at 5:50, Wattie has another chance thanks to God, after what happened in Bogota. I have a hard time understanding wattie's english, I don't know if it happens to anyone else.....🙄🤔 From 🇨🇱 Chile
(Big fuck-off pretentious question alert) In the De Coelesti Hierarchia (On the Celestial Hierarchy) by Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite there are seven Godly beings that are "beyond angelic". From bottom to top they are : Archangels / Powers / Virtues / Dominions / Thrones / Cherubim and finally Seraphim. So the question is, which one is she?
This is a good interview. If people read the bands lyrics about the song, "horror epics," then those who read the lyrics would know that the Exploited have never been a fascist band. Horror epics would never have been written if Wattie was a nazi. The song talks about saving starving African kids. What would a guy write that song for if he was racist. Anarchy is the complete opposite of stupid fascist. It's always someone saying, "I heard this or heard this," and have no idea about what the exploited are about. I met Wattie in 1991 at the milk bar in Jacksonville, FL. He was cool as fuck wasn't an egotistical asshole. They actually feed us and also gave us as many beers as we could drink. The only other band that is cool as the Exploited back stage is the "U. K. Subs. Charlie Harper did the same as the exploited. Also, after meeting the Exploited, they put us on every guest list for the shows in FL. The Exploited has been my favorite band since I was 14 yrs old, and I just turned 50 on the 26th of Dec.
This is so cool getting to interview Wattie I don't know how you manage to get interview all these great bands but well done. I'm Scottish too. I saw you at Rebellion this year you were in the Empress Ballroom filming on the balcony. I was on the opposite side doing the same thing. I only started filming for the past couple of years so I'm still learning how to handle the camera in the right way for shows like this.
Your interviews make me love the individual band members more rather than just loving the band's music. It's cool to hear them open up about what they go through in their real lives 🤘🖤
I must say I really appreciate this video. Thank you for not using subtitles over wattie'svoice, I understand english and I can figure it out lol. And also Wattie kind of covered a story I had of my first exploited concert in 2005... I was a young Chicano (brown skin, spanish/native american) teenager and was in the pit while the exploited opened their set with the song the massacre, perfect opening song by the way, (and might I add I was an MVP linebacker in high school football at the time) and was in the pit when all of a sudden I saw a flash of white light and my face started hurting. I said to myself I should probably sit down. after that I learned that I had caught an elbow from this enormous skinhead in the pit, now I know it is cliche , but you should have seen the size of this guy lol. conclusion that is the story of my only black eye ever and a fun example of an exploited show.
The exploited never expired their massive hits and their stance as the most recognisable Anti fascist street punk watty so immortal singer👊✊ Am supporter here In philippine
Absolutely Excellent Outstanding Genius Wattie Brilliant Interesting Fascinating Interview With Top Classic Punk Band Still Outstanding The Exploited 🔗🔒🖇
After watching scottish movies for years I can finally understand 30% of what Wattie is saying
Eh Jimmy lol
As being English I have problems understanding some Scotts too
Turn the captions on and he'll make even more sense. They've got him talking about estate sales and shit. 😄
F..k I am all the way down in NZ and don't have any problem understanding what he is saying, maybe English is your second language?
So imagine for a frensh guy who learned english at school ! ;o)
Say that to wattie??? Didn't think so...
The only man from the 70's-80's who hasn't changed a millimeter.. Always young always genuine.
Except for being some left wing mf now
A genuine wanker, yes.
Come on, lets not forget Charlie Harper.
Lead singer of oi polloi? That guy has stayed the same as well.

You lucky man. All the best from England.
i wanna see what his wife looks like
What a trip! I was at that show!
I got my 1st exploited album when I was 10 in 1981 live onstage n still love em...
Perfect age to be introduced to punk. Glad you had that experience!
40 years of Wattie,my absolutely favorite band...Exploited
Barmy army greets from germany
The combination of being a scatterbrained individual with a Scottish accent is deadly, no one will ever understand what he’s saying but we still love him
Wattie is super real and will never sell his soul
That is true!
That's why he took Billy Gates death shot over something that doesn't even exist! 😂
Death Before Dishonour is my favorite Exploited album but I like them all.
Beat the bastards albun of the exploited is my favorite albun and gbh band good bands
UK 82 one of their best tunes.
EXPLOITED BARMY ARMY
Still my fave 'punk' band. And after watching this I'm confirmed that they were heavier and had an own style, great riffs, more metal and grindcore, He's mentioning Discharge, my second fave, real heavy too. And can image that these guys have influenced Napalm Death
Cool interview, Erin. Great band. I saw the Exploited open for The Ramones in 1980 in Scotland. Linda was there as well. Great show, good times, and this is a great channel.
Wow 😯🤯
Still listening to Punks not dead today. Love the interview.
Gerda Bults nah just on life alert
The last time I saw the EXPLOITED was at a show in San Antonio Tx. & that was in like 87 or so, it was great!!! Everything great back then!!!
Great interview! Wattie is a TRUE legend, and he seems pretty cool to boot....I loved how he just couldn't let his hatred for nazis go! It's cool he's still passionate about his beliefs

Yes i.m from ulster and also member that my fave from back in the day were the ruts and crass .long live spirit of 77
Im from Indonesia. I love The exploited
The scottish version of ozzy 😳what is he saying
You have to be at least part Scottish to really understand the accent.
He is speaking English. just listen.
different genres mate

@@Haemorrhoider he’s not fae East Kilbride he’s fae Edinburgh. Your thinking of Willie Reid.....maaaannn......
Great interview Erin. Living legend and a fellow Scot.
Shes so plastic but Wattie is a gentleman here. This chick is an example of why a whole lotta people avoid "punkers". Respect to Wattie. ❤
You nailed it!
Explain to me how she's "plastic" ?
Why the criticism, she's just a bit nervous.
@@Kultleder // One definition of plastic is "not real or sincere." Her clothes and hair can come off as tryhard, especially compared to Wattie.
Her clothes can come off is right
Much respect for Wattie for owning spga, and especially a small one as if it's a fur baby. A lot of great stories with this guy. I had no idea he had 5 heart attacks. I'm sure he chose to lay off the partying.
Thanks for doing the interview with Wattie. Great outfit you got on as always.
Love this so much! Thanks for that
I fucking love this guy been listening since the 80s
Great interview, finally someone asks the right questions, Exploited forever, Punk's Not Dead

He's saying it might be shitty. They don't have the drive they used to.
I still think he can pull it off.
It doesnt have to be angry.
Эх.. Помню первый приезд The Exploited в Москву в 1998 в Д. К. Горбунова... Это было событие, до сих пор помню.

Best UK punk in my opinion! GBH CLOSE SECOND have to give it to Wattie & EXPLOITED tho BARMY ARMY FOR LIFE
Wow!!! I'm super surprised 2 c this, I haven't seen the EXPLOITED in 4 ever
I'm going to see Wattie at Butlin's Alternative festival at Skeggy this year! Long live punk rock!!! 🤘🤘🤘
Anyone have the live video for this particular gig?
Ahora recuerdo que tenia un cassette . Punks not death .hace 25 años ahora a los 47 estoy con melancolía....se quedo en su casa cuando me divorcié 😢😅

Recently got back into them. My son is now into them too
Awesome! Thanks forvputti g this up.
Love wattie boy love ‘sploited!! 🏴
"every day is a bonus" he says at 5:50, Wattie has another chance thanks to God, after what happened in Bogota. I have a hard time understanding wattie's english, I don't know if it happens to anyone else.....🙄🤔 From 🇨🇱 Chile
Her voice is beyond angelic...
(Big fuck-off pretentious question alert) In the De Coelesti Hierarchia (On the Celestial Hierarchy) by Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite there are seven Godly beings that are "beyond angelic". From bottom to top they are : Archangels / Powers / Virtues / Dominions / Thrones / Cherubim and finally Seraphim. So the question is, which one is she?
@@countiblis1246 um...... I'm going to say archangels because this is the only post of angels I knew existed in Christianity....also what the hell😂😂
@@countiblis1246 Very funny.
This is a good interview. If people read the bands lyrics about the song, "horror epics," then those who read the lyrics would know that the Exploited have never been a fascist band. Horror epics would never have been written if Wattie was a nazi. The song talks about saving starving African kids. What would a guy write that song for if he was racist. Anarchy is the complete opposite of stupid fascist. It's always someone saying, "I heard this or heard this," and have no idea about what the exploited are about. I met Wattie in 1991 at the milk bar in Jacksonville, FL. He was cool as fuck wasn't an egotistical asshole. They actually feed us and also gave us as many beers as we could drink. The only other band that is cool as the Exploited back stage is the "U. K. Subs. Charlie Harper did the same as the exploited. Also, after meeting the Exploited, they put us on every guest list for the shows in FL. The Exploited has been my favorite band since I was 14 yrs old, and I just turned 50 on the 26th of Dec.
Awesome band i grow up listening to them still playing loud great punk band allways 💀☠💀
This is so cool getting to interview Wattie I don't know how you manage to get interview all these great bands but well done. I'm Scottish too. I saw you at Rebellion this year you were in the Empress Ballroom filming on the balcony. I was on the opposite side doing the same thing. I only started filming for the past couple of years so I'm still learning how to handle the camera in the right way for shows like this.
good old wattie and i love erin
Your interviews make me love the individual band members more rather than just loving the band's music. It's cool to hear them open up about what they go through in their real lives 🤘🖤
WATTIE IS A LEGEND! PUNKS NOT DEAD 🫂

Como se llama la primera cancion que sale en concierto ?
"your music is so important"
Wattie: "Thnx" 🤣
Hey guys!.. Good to see you!
I must say I really appreciate this video. Thank you for not using subtitles over wattie'svoice, I understand english and I can figure it out lol. And also Wattie kind of covered a story I had of my first exploited concert in 2005... I was a young Chicano (brown skin, spanish/native american) teenager and was in the pit while the exploited opened their set with the song the massacre, perfect opening song by the way, (and might I add I was an MVP linebacker in high school football at the time) and was in the pit when all of a sudden I saw a flash of white light and my face started hurting. I said to myself I should probably sit down. after that I learned that I had caught an elbow from this enormous skinhead in the pit, now I know it is cliche , but you should have seen the size of this guy lol. conclusion that is the story of my only black eye ever and a fun example of an exploited show.
"...was all the papers or the exploiting whatnots you scan it until the gag there..." - when you turn on subtitles on RUclips.
The exploited never expired their massive hits and their stance as the most recognisable Anti fascist street punk watty so immortal singer👊✊
