Music videos featuring Fat-Bottom Girls (Rippers, Victories, etc)

Punk didn't come out of nowhere, it had ingredients that existed before, that's all I'm saying. The most punkish thing about Slade was that they were fearless in not appearing "musicianly" though Jim Lea always had issues with that.

Were they Beatles-influenced? You bet! Never made any bones about it either, Lea's chord structures so often came from the Lennon-McCartney book of songcraft.

Why didn't their "Whatever happened to ..." album sell? Because they were too old, too glam, too apolitical. Why didn't The New York Dolls albums sell at the time (or the Ramones ones?)? The haircuts though were not jumping the bandwagon - they wore skinhead/Oi style haircuts when it wasn't fashionable to do so and the cover of that album was tongue in cheek (picturing them with their former look), if you turned it around they looked like this



That's hardly jumping the bandwagon, that is taking the piss in a very Britisih manner.

I had hoped that I would receive more credit for the mentioning of The Hammersmith Gorillas, now they were really obscure!

And you didn't know The Adverts? That surprised me, but I've noticed in the past already that my concept of punk is very UK 1977-centric. There was no way getting away from it in that summer if you read NME. And Gaye Advert was the poster-girl of the movement.

punk guys are so touchy. ish.

[uwe]

All that molesting in the cell blocks and the showers leaves its marks.

Orange is the old punk after all.

[Granny Gremlin]

Stay classy Uwe.

[uwe]

Oh my, you are touchy! Canalians aren't what they used to be.

[Granny Gremlin]

Canalians

Is that an(other) intentional pun with sexual overtones?  You know the love canal is the vagina not the anus right (with the Germans, one can never really be too sure)? ;P

[uwe]

Me? I find double entendres and insinuations of any type as well as ascribing attributes based on ethnicity and/or nationality vile and repulsive. It must have been someone else.

Send lawyers, guns and money...

Never heard a Ripper used this way

I love Ubaldo Schiavi's playing!

Found this one just now- went back through the 17 pages of this thread and can't see it here.

The wonderful Ms Napolitano, burlesque and a fretless burst Ripper no less!

[Granny Gremlin]

Thanks for posting that; but for an odd reason.  I've had this record that I like - No Talking Just Head by The Heads (Talking Heads without Byrne) that is all guest vocalists and I could never figure out who this Johnette Napolitano person was (I did try googling her name a good few years back, like over a decade now, to no avail; I suppose wikipedia has caught up since then). ... I'd post a song but Tina's rocking a P or something.

Here an odd one. G3 or is it a Grabber?

[uwe]

Hard to tell, I think I saw a glimpse of a see-thru single coil once, but it sure sounds like a G-3 and not a Grabber. They way the black guy plays the two-step bass line is cute, a lot more buoyant than a white cat would, me like.

[veebass]

Not a video. Tal Wilkenfeld plus Grabber- EB2 nearby.
