    The Damned at 50 and the memories (and regrets) of Rat Scabies

    The Damned are – yes! - 50 years old with three of the originals still onboard. And just starting a world tour. In this immensely funny and touching podcast, Rat Scabies (who’s smoking!) points up the repercussions of life in a band. He looks back at their first shows, their devoted audience, “old-fashioned rules”, highlights, regrets, the value of friendship, “putting on the black suit again” and how it felt to rejoin after 30 years on the outside. And all this too …   … playing drums in an Essex panto while pelted with boiled sweets   … Dave Vanian when he was a grave-digger   … punk rock strongholds the world over – “South America was like being in the Beatles”   … Mexico and other places you can still torch a drumkit   … Mr Scabies, aged 70. “Even my mother calls me Rat. The name’s done me well over the years”   … going to the Isle Of Wight aged 14 (with the Danish nanny) and running a hot-dog stand during Hendrix   … supporting the Pistols at the 100 Club: “like letting a greyhound out of a trap”   … Tim Burton, the Goth revival, the Young Ones, steampunk and other factors that keeps the Damned in motion   … “One band’s an oddity, two’s a fashion, three’s a movement”   … rejoining the Damned after 30 years – “like a great stain had been lifted”   … Green Day, algorithms and how they acquired a whole new following.   Order Damned tickets here: aegp.uk/the-damned Help us to keep The Longest Continuous Conversation In Rock going: https://www.patreon.com/wordinyourear Hosted on Acast.
