The Damned are coming to Louisville in April. I gotta go.

I always had the first three for years nad never had The Black Album until a few years ago. In hindsight, I can't see why I never got that one as it is really great too.

The bass line on this one is a jam.

Yes.
Yes, you do.

Fantastic band from their punk incarnation to their gothic era.

Imagine that the "same" band did this song:

The internet can be serious business at times.

This thread got me on Youtube listening to the Damned and I checked out their last record which I had not heard. It's quite good.

 

[Clyde Billt]

We've just added New Rose to our set.
Goes down a treat and is a blast to play.

Proper old school punk, that could knock a 60s pop tune out the park.

One year difference between MGE & The Black Albun which had this on it:


Pretty amazing. I actually got really into them when Strawberries came out & then went backwards (skipped the 2nd album...). One of my favorite bands.

 

[S. F. Sorrow]

I'm a fan.

The Damned like XTC did a psych album under a different name in 1984.

 

[NashSG]

Wow! Did not know about that one.

Always great to see them get some love here at TGP. My all time favorite band, ever. Been a fan and collector since I was about 13. My avatar is their "Just Can't Be Happy Today" 45, and my user name is a combination of 2 of their songs.

Been lucky enough to watch them from the side of the stage on a number of occasions, always an amazing experience.

London 2012 at The Roundhouse...pretty much a "bucket list" moment for me.

If you haven't seen their documentary "Don't You Wish We Were Dead" definitely check it out:

Same here. I saw the album cover and the fact that a member was named Captain Sensible, and was intrigued. Talked my mom into buying it for me lol. I was hooked the moment I listened. I literally wore that first copy out.


Some great really early footage:



Vanian certainly has calmed down a lot since those days ha.

"Just Can't Be Happy Today" is my theme song! "Under the Floor Again" has just about my favourite guitar solo on it, love the good Captain's work on that.

Really good & fun album that one, soundtrack to the movie ""Give daddy The Knife, Cindy" if I recall, in "3D Color" no less!! I was in a band that did at least 3 or 4 songs of that one.

I saw them at the end of October, the 2nd night of their two night stand at Gramercy Theatre. They played two sets, for a total of well over three hours. Their setlist went back in time, album by album, from the most recent stuff until they reached "New Rose". Amazing show.

 

[Blackmore's Hat]

Love this album. That's Nick Cave's wife, Susie Bick, on the cover!

I had to miss that one, but at least I got a shirt sent to me as a consolation prize lol. They're coming back this sping...April/May, doing their biggest US tour since 1998.
