Someone who didn't know the band asked 'the Damned? are they heavy? 'No' I replied, they're a laugh, and here's the evidence to back that up. My fav band ever 👽
Beyond Python, back in 77, Captain, Vanian and Rat informed me more about British humour than anything. And if it wasn't enough, they were the hardest, speediest, almost proto-hardcore-sounding, punk group in existence before the 80s. hail the Damned!!
OMG ROFL This awesome!!!! One of the bands I listened to when I was 14 This is exactly what music needs today....they dont give a flying fuck...wooooooot
I had a b&w TARGET VIDEO- stupid teen, i sold it- but they sang Ballroom Blitz to Great Big Tits! I was a big-busted girl then(29-DD) & I loved the hilarious b&w stripper shots- then Sensible got hit with a beer bottle& his Frampton wig fell off, Vanian had to hold him back from going off-stage- but even better, Sensible looked like he was gonna cry !!! Oh, man, i MISS TARGET VIDEOS, WHY AREN'T YOU RE-RELEASING ALL OF YOUR GEMS( I LOVE HARD COPIES), ON DVD OR BLUE RAY? I mean this punk 1st-shot stuff will NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN-IGGS CROWD WALKING? C'MON!! That's Criterion video stuff !!!!!!! - baby blue💙🎶💙🫧🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🦇 extra for Dave Vanian, the most committed vampire ( besides myself) i've ever seen- lucious man !!!!! Luv yah , Dayve !!
The Damned, the J&MC , &early on the Waterboys( o.k., that was when i was 10, but still Waterboys with Alphaville&Joy Division, not bad for 10!! With the follow-up of a marathon of the Young Ones-what an intro to nonconformism-back when mtv thought they could pull that off-& THE DAMNED ON THE YOUNG ONES, & MADNESS, PERE UBU, +more...). But lare nite, 12-4a.m. bay area radio the jesus&mary chain, intro to death rock& the damned, my first punk. I loved my musical awakening-then kicking in the doors to ska, new wave-no wave,darker waves & synth. Bowie & bauhaus&rammstien& Falco, white&black early rap& Falco alone at the top, & tons of alt-pop in the early -mid 80's. Still my music, but i like lots of stuff-i just stick with mostly i onoclasts, like old stooges, velvets, ?????? × more! It's great being non-mainstream!!-bb
If I can get tickets to see these guys play wherever they’re gonna play I live in Pittsfield, Massachusetts around Lenox, Massachusetts, I would, and will pay and bring a few of my friends to turn them on real music
They weren't cartoony live. Unfortunately, The Damned were misunderstood by the industry just didn't know how to market the Damned. Even when they released Phantasmagoria the record label (MCA) didn't know how to market them. Are they a goth band, a punk band, a pop band?
@@chickybluetherealone The Damned were not ahead of their time, though they were better musicians than many of the other punk bands of time. Malcolm McLaren is on record stating that The Damned were too good as musicians and it was the main reason he didn't want them anywhere near the same stage as The Sex Pistols. The Damned were thrown off the Anarchy in the UK Tour just for being better musicians than The Sex Pistols and The Clash. Don Letts has said the same as well. Don Letts has also stated that The Damned were there to party while the other Punk bands were being serious politically and about social issues. The Damned brought the party. But, The Damned were influenced by The MC5, Iggy Pop, and Alice Cooper. The Damned were not doing anything new or groundbreaking, but they did bring a different energy and they brought the party. The Damned today is nothing like they were back in the late 70s and early 80s
Wtf dude captain sensible is amazing, the whole shtick is to exaggerate everything and be ridiculous, look at his outfit man. The whole point is he comes off as very nonsensible lol
Still my fave punk band. Loved them as a 20 yo punkette. I'm 64 now and still love them!❤
Rat Scabies. Never was there a more great name for a drummer.
In loving memory of Algy Ward. Enjoy the walk on the Long Path, brother.
Hail Tank too!
@@karllux-d6g Absolutely.

A mate of mine knows them really well , and they are so funny
As a Damned fan of 40 years. I agree with you. Saw them on top of the pops in 1980, as a child and loved them. Love Davies 'drac' look!! 😅👍👍
Strawberries 🍓
I like them better than anyone I’ve ever played or not music with except for Mr DG
The Damned with Love Song! One of the best songs in Rock history!!!
RIP Algy Ward - Love Song had one of the most brilliant intro bass lines ever 😪
His band Tank ruled
This sucks to hear. The dude had a hand in the best Damned album and by effect, one of the best punk albums ever
@grahfkarate1799 Tank owns. Right there with Motorhead. Absolutely phenomenal.
Algy played on the best album by The Saints, as well, before joining The Damned.
Classic brilliant rock band and great sense of humour,love how the guitars are not even plugged in.
Theyre punk, not rock
It was wireless. They were ahead of their time!
Neat how CS can play a guitar with no neck.
@@Blooblooblahblahwho cares? They’re the Damned. They transcend labels.
@@Blooblooblahblah You do realize that punk is rock 'n' roll, right? Punk rock? You're just trying to be difficult for the sake of being difficult.
Captain Sensible - the most underrated guitarist of all time …..
Algy Ward too.
Hell yeah ❤❤❤
everyone on youtube is underated
But not the less irritating...and I love their music despite that.
Bob Conan Owen, do you know what guitar is Ray using on this video ? Looks like a Mosrite, but i'm not sure .... Thank you!
Machine Gun Etiquette. I bought it then, I still listen to it once a week or so now. Brilliant.
Amazing Album...
I LOVE the Damned. They absolutely kick ass and Dave's voice is the cherry on top.
I must have watched this a million times! Never gets old.
I've told you a million times
DO NOT EXAGGERATE !
The Captain, looking particularly beautiful in his Woggle Monster outfit! :0)

0:22 RAAT SCAABIIEESSS!
He sounded like one of Mr Hilter's supporters in Minehead in '69.
You can't help but love The Damned....
Damned for ever..!!! Dave IS thé most sexy vampire in the World ...so british and si mystérious ..!
Watch the german crowd: sitting like in a freezer, hahaha. I was 18 in this year , a punkrocker of course and a big damned fan.
Running away from dave like that was is the goofiest shit ever- i love it ❤️
OMG ROFL This awesome!!!! One of the bands I listened to when I was 14 This is exactly what music needs today....they dont give a flying fuck...wooooooot
Lemmy was a fan and a mate. That's a Bona Fide certificate for genuine Punk Rock, am I wrong?
That's called momentum right there. When I'm feeling' down, I watch this. Thanks man
Great band saw em live in 78 great piss taking with the miming just like a lot of punk bands did at the time.
Oh how I miss those days! Great times 😊
Punk/rock perfection!
R.I.P. Algy Ward
That audience certainly can applaud.

That bass line...
One of my all time favorite songs!
This is the best video of the Damned I've ever seen.
Great crazy punk band... superrrr...!!!
Gottschalk in Latzhose....Hatte mich schon damals köstlich amüsiert. Punk rules!
Da war Gottschalk noch sympathisch.
brian james rocks, he was also great with the lords !!
Another awesome contribution - thank you!
Thanks for posting this 🖤
Dave's expression when Rat announces his name is fucking priceless!!
THE best lip-synch ever!!! What energy.
Priceless

Look at The Gittarust! Die Hose 👍👍👍👍👍🍷🍸🍸🍷💜
Still one of my favorite

Missed them in early 90s in Glasgow barrowlands ..still pissed..
thankyou thankyou love em . always love em.
Seeing how they've presented themselves in Germany like they've done here makes you proud to be British 😄
They are so cartoony, I luv it. And Tight playing.
Jeah, its play back:)
@@edgyallanpoe7659 That's right, that's why they cue it up :)

Great band. Awesome performance.
and the crowd goes... unmoved.
RIP Algy
Great finger work by Algy on bass at 1.26
Porra um dia vou fazer um visu desse que que capa loka❤amo Damned
That song's not repetitive at all repetitive at all.
Cool coat!
Pourquoi n'est il toujours pas admis qu'ils sont les premiers interprètes du punk anglais ("new rose") ?
the rat is undeniable
Toured with marc bolan two yrs previous 😢
Latzhosen-Gottschalk mit Vampirphobie. Lustig und trotzdem zum fremdschämen.
So this is where the misfits got part of their vibe from. This literally sounds like something theyd sing.
They almost blew up the presenter 😂😂😂
Zur jetzigen Zeit auch gerade wieder 🙋🙋🙋
ダムド最高❤
Rat Scabies is just a fucking brilliant drummer 👏
Algy Ward 🍻
0:33 Almost blew up the presenter 😂😂😂
lol - were the crowd at the wrong gig????? e.l.o., abba, and reo speedwagon were in the other room - lol
Nothing wrong with ABBA or ELO. As for REO Speedwagon… 🤮
@@Shikta-poobah67 one mans champagne is another mans poison
See the broken guitar neck? They were playing to canned music.I think they missed Algy Ward but he just kept whipping everyone's ass!
Shame Algy had a serious drinking problem at this time back in 1979,that is why they let Algy go sadly but loved his band Tank.
@@mummyd1990 yeah, Algy loved to drink a bit too much
@@mummyd1990 Really? And the rest of the band were completely sober/drug free?
@@excession30
In these kinds of situation it's more about who drinks the most and is hard to work with
2nd favorite, no apologies ... Alex Harvey & SAHB 1st
Awsome
And the crowd goes mild
I want a pink fluffy jumper
These guys were... grimly fiendish
derf gottschalk wieder :)
The Captain making fake fur fashionable since 1979.
😍

Omg, der Gottschalk 😳
Kate Bush reference
Der Angstmacher.
It was and is OK still
F’N Rules!
ganz am Anfang ist das rechts Thomas Gottschalk?????
PUNKS NOT DEAD!
I agree with one of the best Punk Bass line intros ever and for guitar I'd go for The Exploited's Sid Vicious was innocent.
I always felt Captain Sensible was better heard but not seen.
Wtf dude captain sensible is amazing, the whole shtick is to exaggerate everything and be ridiculous, look at his outfit man. The whole point is he comes off as very nonsensible lol
He's just doing his part! Play and be a goof😂
He's an obnoxious twat but he's our obnoxious twat
It's all there. The proof's in tha pudding.
what was the show called? can the whole episode be seen?
Szene 77
CD
ネックが取れてようが観客が全然盛り上がって無かろうが突っ走る、それがThe Damned✨
Oasis such so much
That's Freddy Mercury
