Last Thursday night, as I blew past Craig Ferguson’s show, my cable box flashed “the Damned” as a guest performer. I was curious and cautiously apprehensive to find out what was left of the REAL Damned, a la Rat Scabies, Dave Vanian, Captain Sensible, et al.
Last Thursday night, as I blew past Craig Ferguson’s show, my cable box flashed “the Damned” as a guest performer. I was curious and cautiously apprehensive to find out what was left of the REAL Damned, a la Rat Scabies, Dave Vanian, Captain Sensible, et al. Well, I’ll be damned if the old codgers didn’t give a pretty good accounting of themselves blistering through “Neat Neat Neat.” No Rat Scabies on drums, but the old crew seems to be intact. Dave Vanian looks remarkably well preserved… still quite dapper, actually… kind of like Jeeves at a rave, with his trademark velvet gloves and Lily Munster racing stripe. It’s nice on occasion to root for one of your icons and not have it make you feel like a dinosaur.
who gives a crap???
normally i don’t agree with my boy jesus…
but goddamn who gives a crap!? And then you have the nerve to go and knock blognigger’s columns – they’re the only entertaining writing on this site! (ooh, except I loved the castration scenes thing. I did say WRITING thoough.)
I like the Damned and it is good to know there still decent after what happened to the New York Dolls.
his voice sounds perfect after such a long time, most not be a smoker!
love the damned!
I was about to say… If Rat Scabies got back on the skins, I was gonna get my tix…
Music is a fad. It’s all derivative and I can’t believe I wrote about the Damned either. i just wanted be able to say I could post stuff near David Cross.
Gotta jet to get Deerhunter tickets but I’ll be back swingin’ for the fences soon
Damn kids, ignoring their roots.
When did Vanian become Jimmy Smits circa “Dexter”?
