Fist - Name, Rank And Serial Number

Track 1 from the 1980 Name, Rank And Serial Number 7" single.

[@frankw9619]

Must be thirty years since I last heard this. Came into my head for some reason the other day.

[@colinpurves3058]

me too - random thought tonight

[@blackmarbles1047]

Saw these many times in the early 70s especially Easington Colliery club Co Durham great nights ,anyone else remember the stage opener Angel of the Sun,, brilliant track

[@robbieduffy9998]

Christ..I remember buying this when it first came out..!!!

[@djx64]

OMG.. yes,, NWOBHM, so many cool bands

[@ObscureStuff420]

I love this song. I can't help but being amused by the character of the song's insanely bizarre contempt for his "selfish" captive.

[@protobishi447]

According to the lyrics on the picture sleeve it is "selflessly" not selfishly, although it sounds more like selfishly to me too. And look who designed the front cover. None other than Conrad Lant aka Cronos from Venom.

[@SpadgerMcTeagle1]

Great vocal.

Name, rank & serial number
Liar, liar - deceiving me
Now tell me the position of your guns & armor forces
Fire, fire - I'll burn your flesh
And still the only thing that you will tell me under torment is your
Name, rank & serial number
Name, rank & serial number
Higher, higher - increase the power
The voltage will destroy your sense of loyality and force you from your
Silence, silence is - no use to you
I'm begging you to trust me and perhaps you'll tell me other than your
Name, rank & serial number
Name, rank & serial number
Listen to me,- I'll be your friend
There'll be no need for torture if you tell me what I need to know
That just figures - just take your time,
You have a cigarette, relax and tell me all you know, I took your
Name, rank & serial number
Name, rank & serial number
Mercy, mercy - is wasted now
Reason hasn't worked so I will break your body and your mind
Dying, dying - you've cheated me
How dare you die so selfishly and make yourself a murder for your
Name, rank & serial number

Used to watch these guys in the clubs around the north east in the late 70s and early 80s. We're called Axe originally

[@blackmarbles1047]

They were Hard Core & Warbeck before that !!

[@ntsms69]

I remember Hard Core, the guitarist was awesome.

[@Rhademanthus]

[@alexandreteixeirabenjamin6539]

[@JoeyArmstrong2800]

Reminds me of Arthur Brown for some reason.

[@ObscureStuff420]
