      Seen them 2 times in my era . Great music and these guys were one of. My favorite bands since the start in 1980. We had our own thing going on here in LA and OC. You should have been in it. These kid are have all grown up to be the parents of little robotic brats that have no clue about what the days of the underground and just how many lives were changed good and bad. I'm 59 now and still up on the lifestyle and listening to all of the music I loved to go to shows

    My favorite from this set is Fast Cars. It kicks so much ass here. I love that Garvey drops the bass an octave during the verses in this version, a detail that improves the song so much from the studio version. 5:45

    • @ifutureman
      @ifutureman 4 часа назад

      Here's something to ponder: all three of the "Different Kitchen" songs are played here in the natural guitar key of E. On the album, all three are in the rather unnatural guitar key of F, along with several others. It never made sense to me why the studio versions of all these songs were in F, but live versions were always dropped to E. I mean, it makes sense as a guitarist to play the punk songs in standard E tuning (not to mention, I think all their singles were in standard E tuning), and they certainly sound great as played live dropped a half-step), but why are the studio versions all in F?
      I believe (pun intended) that they recorded the first album (and also their third, but NOT "Love Bites" - you'll notice those songs are played live in the exact same key as the album versions) using guitars that were tuned up a half step. Why? Because it adds to the brightness of a string when you tune it tighter. And Buzzcocks sound was always intended to be bright.
      OK, I've babbled enough. I'll happily babble more, if you are interested.

More indifference than excitement. The first thing I thought to myself was "this must be in Germany" - and sure enough, it was. I did enjoy the classic punk move at 25:10, however.

    Was a huge buzzcocks fan from the outset even though I was only 12 when spiral scratch came out. Finally got to see them in October 1979 at the Sheffield top rank. Got to the door, shaking with excitement, with my ticket and th bloody doorman refused entry because I was too young. So I quite rightly burst into tears! Luckily, the bloke took pity on me and let me in - as long as my dad, who was with me, went in too .. (sorry, dad!). Truly blew my little mind. (Support not bad either ... an up and coming Postpunk band by the name of Joy Division...wonder what happened to them?)
    Buzzcocks the greatest pop-punk band ever by a country mile but have never really received the credit and respect they deserve... they defined the ‘indie’ guitar band sound that became the mainstream in the 1990s and is still hugely important RIP PETE X

    Late 1976: I go nto my local record store (.025 miles from home)
    I buy ELO's "Living Thing," and an EP by this unfathomable band called" The Buzzcocks. The "Spiral Scratch."EP changed my life.
    I was confused, but it was apparent that this record would guide me across many a boundary to come.
    Late 1979, The Buzzcocks are among the last of the UK explosion bands to make it to NYC. Even The Clash didn't make it for a few months hence. I am re-arranging my life to see my beloved Buzzcocks. My friend insists that I don't sleep on the opening act. He wants to be certain that I will get there, share what he has seen.

    moved to london in late 1989. first gig I went to was the residents, at sadlers wells, & pete shelley was sat right in front of me. a few weeks later there's howard devoto on the 38 bus into town- saw him a lot. then met diggle in the maplins store in camden. still working on collecting the rest.... buzzcocks pokemon!
    loved "sky yen" too.

    These blokes are so on line with the Jam at that time. Although the Jam were the biggest band in England and part of the states.

      @mukkaspec3333 Год назад

      I agree. Still and always will be obsessed with The Jam, but The Buzzcocks never got mentioned in the same breath. Steve Diggle the true Mod . They were passionate just like the fab 3.

    The Buzzcocks are pop punk at it's best... :D They were at the start of punk's 1970's punk and played alongside the Sex Pistols, The Clash and many other bands. They were different then most punk bands in that they weren't political. They write about broken hearts, broken relationships. Many can relate.

    • @fabiopunk1661

      ***** Underrated band- more or less invented pop/punk but have much more substance than a lot of the bands that sprung from that style.

  • @robertcaffrey6097
    @robertcaffrey6097 3 года назад +1

    I was 9 years old in 1977 when I first heard the song Boredom and I instantly fell in love with Buzzcocks and have never got tired of listening to their music, these guys invented power pop. One of my absolute favourite bands in the entire universe and chorus. During the UK82 punk scene I got the piss constantly taken out of me for being a Buzzcocks fan because it was more matcho to be a hard core punk . Lifes an illusion and love is a dream Crass got that from Buzzcocks. In a bizarre twist Buzzcocks and Motorhead are considered the two influences behind the Dbeat hardcore style.
