First heard The Macc Lads when I was in the Army in 1988 in a barracks in Driffield North Yorkshire when the guy in the next bedspace to me put on a 'Beer and sex and chips and gravy' cassette. We were all packing our kit up to move to another barracks but one by one we stopped what we were doing and listened to the lyrics which were hilarious. It was like "Did he really just say you're a fooking coont?" and "Did he just rhyme George Michael with Menstrual cycle?" Great times, great band.
In 1985, I had a school mate who just moved down from Oldham Manchester. His older brother went off to Nottingham University and left all his LPs behind. Amongst them was BEER AND SEX AND CHIPS AND GRAVY. My life was never the same after that. RIP Boddingtons Ale. You are sadly missed.
Some British soldiers once stopped me and my mates crossing the border to Northern Ireland (early 90's) during the bad years. One accidentaly shoved my cassette in to my car stereo during the search. I had the lads from macc. They all started jumping around the road dancing and playing air guitar on their rifles. It was great cos all my mates started dancing with them too. It was a very funny moment in a dark time.
Sang part of Fluffy Pup to my wife today for the first time, who, was nagging the hell out of me..............then out of the blue she starts singing the chorus back at me and I fell over laughing. The best part is im 50 and wifey is 34 (YEAH go me) and she knew about The Macc lads and she doesn't originally come from the UK (Far East) hahaha. So Fluffy Pup has surmounted the generational gap :d
What the Macc Lads did was make the audience an integral part of any of their gigs. Right oh most of the time we were throwing beer at them and telling them to fuck off but you weren’t just singing along to the songs you were part of the gig. It was and they were brilliant.
One of the best live gigs I've ever been to was the Macc Lads in Birmingham maybe 5 years ago. Fantastic atmosphere, and bringing back some great memories of when I was a kid listening to a many times copied C60 tape!
I was 14 when I first heard The Mac Lads. Just effin’ loved ‘em, and jeezo they were a big help getting through teenage school days. I still love “ Boddies “ to this day! ;-)
When he said they were banned from the US (so much for their self-proclaimed 'land of the free' tripe) it was supposed to be for a one-off gig in Boston where I was living at the time. Me and the other small handful of expats - most of them southerners - were gutted when it fell through.
My mother introduced me to some fantastic bands including a lot of punk metal and of course the Macc lads. Whilst my school mates were listening to public enemy in the common room I put fluffy pup on. Everyone loved it, people howling and even teachers couldn't help but laugh. Thank fuck for those days, cant say shit now, cant even smoke a menthal cig. World's gone potty. Newcy brown all round you crazy bastards.
Intelligent guys who like a beer. Loved their music at the time, but it was an obvious persona to persuade a possibly less intelligent fan base into a thinking they were the same as their stage personas, and a very successful one. Great rock band live, was at the Live in Leeds gig, accomplished players.
Friend of mine was a huge fan and once stood next to Muttley in the urinals and turned to him and said I love your music etc and not to be rude Muttley turned to him and p*ssed on his shoes. He came out and said guess what just happened. I think he thought it was an autograph. He dragged me around a few places and one memorable place was Shelley's at Longton. The locals at the time were always looking for a ruck and we we were always happy to reach Longton station.
One of the best bands of that time ..funny as fu## .music and lyrics were bloody great .saw em many times and had a great night every time .. they brought punx, skinheads .bikers ,rockers and most types of people together at their gigs .shows they had that something that most folk liked ..a good night out ,,and something to laugh at ..even the lasses liked em ..
Just noticed your a son of The Macc's well done for making an excellent documentary. I heard them first as a school boy and even then I think I realised it was a joke. It was to silly not to be.
They were better off being an 80's band and with Viz at it's pomp, the 90 's wouldn't have done them any favours I don't think, they made all the fans they could in the majority, fucking brilliant band
Me and a bunch of my buddies where ready to go never happened back in the 90s then early 2000s and even more recent I think covid 19 or something stopped the last tour
Why would they what? Plan a reunion? (everyone else is doing it and it's been over twenty years, IIRC) Or get arrested? (my suggestion is only slightly facetious - if you live in a Western liberal democracy you'll have seen it creep towards the totalitarianism of an ideological state these past 20-odd years)
Muttley's gone all nesh, Anti No-Where League are still touring and their gigs are epic, Animal is in his sixties and showing the young 'uns how its done. We'll have to pin Muttley down ont deck n pour some Bodies down his fuckin neck!
I'm a big pooftah from America, and even I have to love the Macc Lads... "Two Stroke Eddie" still makes me laugh after all these years... "He didn't even get up no quim"... Fecking brilliant... As far as slags go, Charlotte has a Geordie rival named Deirdre, but you can't really put Toy Dolls and Macc Lads on the same ship... Or can you? 🤔 🤣❤️
Hey dude, not sure if you know Deirdre's roots. If you do, I apologise for stating the obvious. Deirdre Barlow is/was a character in the soap opera "Coronation Street", set in a Manchester town. She liked a bit of it 😁 All the lyrics make reference to other characters and plot lines 🙂
A.K.A Bellend Chedder, back in the early days. I was only a young lad, used to walk past and stare in the window at the albums and t-shirts and the Jonny’s! The hand painted Vauxhall Viva parked outside. Good memories.
They were massive amongst us inbred neanderthals up north . No Sheep Till Buxton was the first record to tackle the controversial subject of man and ovine love,
The Macc Lads were genius. Maybe the world needs them now more than ever.
fookin riiiiight!!
Should have been the UKs Eurovision song entries.
@@peternagy-im4be Oh fuck yes.
This needs to be a full length documentary. They were a much maligned and damn entertaining bunch of lads.
First heard The Macc Lads when I was in the Army in 1988 in a barracks in Driffield North Yorkshire when the guy in the next bedspace to me put on a 'Beer and sex and chips and gravy' cassette.

Great times, great band.
people thought they were a joke band. But their music was beautiful.

I love how Mutley now looks like your favourite uncle
I'm from Buenos Aires and love the Lads. There, I said it.
GETTT!! AT EMMMMMM!!!!!
Do you like Fray Bentos and cheap red wine?
@@for111 If you're form the UK, any top shelf red wine will be dirt cheap to you. :D Come visit when this shit CoVid thing is over.
Love Argentina. I would go there if it wasn't for covid.
HAAHAHAAH Ya Argie Lost hte war but won the Macc lads eh?

It was the best music for driving down a busy high street when your a teenager with a loud stereo! Happy days.....
Hahaha!
Unbelievable, the Macc Lads are STILL going!
Fun Punk for the irredeemably drunk! \o/

Mate. Im not stalking you. But you are turning up on the most random videos that I have been watching!
Very Indo European.
Listened to them as I fancied the older boy next door lol
Bloody hell reading the comments & there's you👀
One of the best live gigs I've ever been to was the Macc Lads in Birmingham maybe 5 years ago. Fantastic atmosphere, and bringing back some great memories of when I was a kid listening to a many times copied C60 tape!
Brilliant Band!!!! Saw them twice in 90 and 91,yes brilliant!!
I saw them in Morecambe in the late 80’s. Was carnage lol 😂
I was 14 when I first heard The Mac Lads. Just effin’ loved ‘em, and jeezo they were a big help getting through teenage school days. I still love “ Boddies “ to this day! ;-)
I borrowed one of their albums 30 years ago, and i still have it..brilliantly funny.
When he said they were banned from the US (so much for their self-proclaimed 'land of the free' tripe) it was supposed to be for a one-off gig in Boston where I was living at the time. Me and the other small handful of expats - most of them southerners - were gutted when it fell through.
Love this band!
Pretty awesome eh.
They’re legends I love the macc lads
Funny how posh they sound....it's as if they were playing characters in a band
There back
And I have seen them
Awesome
My mother introduced me to some fantastic bands including a lot of punk metal and of course the Macc lads.

Your mum was into the Mac Lads?!? 😂😂😂
Too short. Now they are on tour I want to see more.
My uncle's girlfriend is from Macc and she knows who Charlotte is, she said a lot of people do, as the lyrics suggest!
Thanks for this posting and props to the film makers. I saw the laughs but when I went to see them live I realised others didn't.
Intelligent guys who like a beer.
Loved their music at the time, but it was an obvious persona to persuade a possibly less intelligent fan base into a thinking they were the same as their stage personas, and a very successful one. Great rock band live, was at the Live in Leeds gig, accomplished players.
I saw them in Wolverhampton. Most fun I ever had at a gig, hands down. You had to keep your head down though!
The Beater is a fabulous guitar player.
@@pheefilms I saw them at the Wulfrun in the 90s with a few mates on a Friday night. Great evening had by all.
Friend of mine was a huge fan and once stood next to Muttley in the urinals and turned to him and said I love your music etc and not to be rude Muttley turned to him and p*ssed on his shoes.

Is the longer version out of the pipeline yet?
Macc Lads rules
Didnt know Jeremy Irons was in the Macc Lads ?
Given the times we live in I'm surprised Operation Yewtree hasn't been extended to make an example of the Macc Lads.
Seems they went down a storm with the Armed Forces. I went to see them at Notts Rock City. I was in the RAF then.
enjoyed this. whish they would reform banning them from venues was maybe a bit OTT. pub looks nice one to try out when I'm in macclesfield
Son of the beater produced and directed and edited.
Spoke to a Macc Lass today when I rang NSandI she used to work at the Nags her name was Debbie. Very helpful she was. She lives in Blackpool now.
the macc lads were AWESOME!!
Muttley now masquerading as Peter Shilton. "Call that a shot you arse bandeet, i could save that with me mutton dagger"
👏👏
Best
Band
Ever
Amen to that ❤
they will always be one of my all time top 20 bands :) eh up let's sup :)
One of the best bands of that time ..funny as fu## .music and lyrics were bloody great .saw em many times and had a great night every time .. they brought punx, skinheads .bikers ,rockers and most types of people together at their gigs .shows they had that something that most folk liked ..a good night out ,,and something to laugh at ..even the lasses liked em ..
The Beater drinking Lager? Lol!
Just noticed your a son of The Macc's well done for making an excellent documentary. I heard them first as a school boy and even then I think I realised it was a joke. It was to silly not to be.
Love the Macc Lads
Brilliant band..
Still listening 2024
ended up here agan come one where is the rest of it?
I don't remember a tunnel under the railway station! That would be a great one any urbexers out there; find that grafitti..
Tunnel is still there just been bricked up.
They were better off being an 80's band and with Viz at it's pomp, the 90 's wouldn't have done them any favours I don't think, they made all the fans they could in the majority, fucking brilliant band
Idolise these guys!
Mutley has turned into John Inverdale....
Me and a bunch of my buddies where ready to go never happened back in the 90s then early 2000s and even more recent I think covid 19 or something stopped the last tour
Smelt of rotting fish eds
And old and crispy sick 😂
He's right if they came out in the 90s they would have had a number 1 recored. Think Chubby Brown Alice etc...
Love um
they got it bang on
Does Charlotte's surname rhyme with 'Hay' ? is that the Charlotte in their songs ?
I think these times call for a reunion and a new album
Sadly I think all involved would be arrested upon even planning it online.
+Reimer Bard - That's no way to think, mister defeatist!
Why would they
Why would they what? Plan a reunion? (everyone else is doing it and it's been over twenty years, IIRC) Or get arrested? (my suggestion is only slightly facetious - if you live in a Western liberal democracy you'll have seen it creep towards the totalitarianism of an ideological state these past 20-odd years)
Reimer Bard i meant why would they get arrested ?
Lady Muck is always on my mind.
@3:00 don't know why this made me laugh so hard
Brilliant band for a giggle if you're 12 .
These guys are heroes
2 or 3 times they where soposed to play the states and never did I was gonna go every time but some shit always happened and they never came
Watching this while supping ale
EY UP, WE'RE THE MACC LADS!!
Was 'Muttley'' his real name? Me and my mates used to listen to the Macc Lads a bit back in the day.
Tristan O'Neill is his real name
Dan’s big log 😂😂😂

Went on the tour round the chip shops in London on a flat bed truck,half my mates got nicked

Mutley said in an interview that he felt "too old" to do it now, being as he turned 60 recently.
Muttley's gone all nesh, Anti No-Where League are still touring and their gigs are epic, Animal is in his sixties and showing the young 'uns how its done. We'll have to pin Muttley down ont deck n pour some Bodies down his fuckin neck!
Good news! They've done a proper reform and they're on at rebellion '18!
They are playing rebellion this year
I'm a big pooftah from America, and even I have to love the Macc Lads... "Two Stroke Eddie" still makes me laugh after all these years... "He didn't even get up no quim"... Fecking brilliant... As far as slags go, Charlotte has a Geordie rival named Deirdre, but you can't really put Toy Dolls and Macc Lads on the same ship... Or can you? 🤔 🤣❤️
No I understand tho...I'm a slight fan of Toy doll's 🤘🏻
Hey dude, not sure if you know Deirdre's roots. If you do, I apologise for stating the obvious. Deirdre Barlow is/was a character in the soap opera "Coronation Street", set in a Manchester town. She liked a bit of it 😁 All the lyrics make reference to other characters and plot lines 🙂
Johnny bags? Tha mean nunkys.

'Relentless irony'

Posh lads.. Tristan & Geoff.
Stanley Hogden he's fucking dead, we're the Lads from Mac,
Macc has gone to shit nowadays, I remember going in to the Hectic House as a young boy, thought it was the best place in the world.
A.K.A Bellend Chedder, back in the early days. I was only a young lad, used to walk past and stare in the window at the albums and t-shirts and the Jonny’s! The hand painted Vauxhall Viva parked outside. Good memories.

proper lads being talked about by the least masculine "male" narration
Muttley=John Inverdale
they could go and do a gig in saudi arabia funny as fuk
Look at a woman these days and it’s basically sexual assault. Long live the Macc Lads.
They were massive amongst us inbred neanderthals up north . No Sheep Till Buxton was the first record to tackle the controversial subject of man and ovine love,
