Saw them perform this on a support tour (they were supporting the Flaming Groovies) at the Coatham bowl. They opened with it and encored with it - not a lot of material for their 20 minute set. great memories tho | |

Captain Sensible's cousin is from Bolton. (A bit tenuous that one, granted) | |

and you know that how? | |

She's my sister's friend. | |

| re: The Damned - New Rose | |
There are clearly only seven people in the world who are actually from Bolton. Mickbrown, Peter Kay, Captain Sensible's cousin, Sara Cox, Frank Finlay, the weird-looking one from McFly and Hylda Baker. Anybody else you might see wandering the streets has been imported into the town on exorbitant wages. | |

You've missed out that fella from Jaws. We tried to get Bill Clinton in on loan but he was having none of it. | |

| re: The Damned - New Rose | |
BillBones - we pretend he's not since he decided to support City, for no other eason than it was fashionable to do so. | |

| re: The Damned - New Rose | |
That and he's got taste in everything he does, clearly including his choice of football clubs. Maybe he prefers the more "cultured" football teams of the region. Oh and you missed Fred Dibnah, Fischer. | |
| mickbrown Posted on 24/10 10:42 | |
| re: The Damned - New Rose | |
The_Lizards_Jumpers - he chose them. You don't chose, you are chosen. | |

| re: The Damned - New Rose | |
Fred Dibnah's autobiography includes the greatest sentence ever to be committed to print: 'Paris, like Greece, was abroad but it wasn't actually that bad'. | |

| re: The Damned - New Rose | |
eee fred dibnah,he used to drink in my local when I lived in Tyldesley. | |
| mickbrown Posted on 24/10 11:29 | |
| re: The Damned - New Rose | |
Tyldesley? *Winces. | |
| borosown Posted on 24/10 11:41 | |
| re: The Damned - New Rose | |
oh I used to love Tyldesley. Great pint of holts in the mort then another great pint of Holts in the half moon. Happy days, cheap beer. Stagger home pished singing Boro songs in the middle of the street. In a punk mood now, played New rose now on to Love song. | |

Anarchy wasn't long after. A month maybe. | |
| borobadge Posted on 25/10 22:35 | |
| re: The Damned - New Rose | |
spiral scratch..the buzzcocks ? anarchy in the u.k. was released origionally in 1976 on e.m.i...but i reckon 'scratch came out just before that .. | |
| Ignore_Alien_Orders Posted on 25/10 22:39 | |
| re: The Damned - New Rose | |
S Scratch I believe was the 3rd, just before Anarchy. | |
| Ignore_Alien_Orders Posted on 25/10 22:42 | |
| re: The Damned - New Rose | |
It is quite hard, and probably only old punks will have heard of the band. They did play the garden though. In 78 | |
| borobadge Posted on 25/10 22:43 | |
| re: The Damned - New Rose | |

Thats a shame Garry. Used to have a Runaways live album, a Japanese import. Don't know what happened to that. | |

| re: The Damned - New Rose | |
The only band I saw at the time that were younger than me. Also I'm sure they were the first band to mutilate a pigs head on stage. | |
| borobadge Posted on 25/10 23:13 | |
| re: The Damned - New Rose | |
i wonder what Mr D.Generate is doing these past 30 years ?! | |
