what happened to london bridge, paddington and moorgate

London Bridge and Paddington are in the video. I left out Moorgate as it is underground.

Referring to cinematic influences: don't forget to mention that the cover of The Scream was a huge nod in the direction of the F. Perry 1968 film, The Swimmer, starring B. Lancaster
@songdoctor5783 4 ай бұрын
My hunch here is that Siouxsie saw the Swimmer on TV, but most of the other films would have only been at the cinema. The thing about those films like the Exorcist and the Omen was how they upped the shock level to one that was not really being replicated in rock music. Hence why Siouxsie wanted to try that direction. Not seen the Swimmer, but guessing it does not fit in with the Exorcist and all those shocking films of the early 1970s.

I knew David then and used to drink with him at the Three Tuns and helped in putting together the festival. I actually spent the day at the festival selling candy floss to raise funds for the arts lab David ran in the Tuns. David hadn’t passed his test at the time so my mate had to sit with him as the qualified driver. His dad had passed away (I think) and left him a big old P4 Rover but David changed it for a trendier (but crappy!) Fiat 500. Ah dear dead days - so few of us left now from that time.

Hi Chris Lovely comment. How wonderful it must have been to have known Mr Jones pre-fame. The Bowie album that came out in 1969 is remarkable for how he wears his heart on his sleeve in his lyrics - he went all cryptic and theatrical after that. My earliest memories as a primary school kid are of that era - I lived in north London at the time and remember one mother turning up barefoot to pick up her kid from school in summer rather like Paul on the cover of Abbey Road. It was a fleeting glimpse of a beautiful time.

Very cool . Did he ever tell you anything about his childhood ? Anything at all and anything about his home life when he was a kid . To me that is always so important . In an interview he said his parents were emotionally cold and hugs were not given much .

Well it certainly does seem to be a magical little town doesn't it ? I think it did him a lot of good to be there and he was able to tap into the natural energy there . I get a sense of a wellspring ... something that can recharge a person's spirit and help heal them of the negativity .

It's interesting looking back that Siouxsie and Co were in situ when Punk first appeared in the UK re their 20 minute performance of 'the Lord's Prayer' at the 100 Club in Sept '76 (with Sid Vicious on Drums/sitting behind a drumkit - you choose) and future Ant Marco Pirroni on guitar. The Banshees were one of the last of the original Punk provocateurs to get signed to a record label and when 'the Scream' finally came out in '78 it reflected a shift in the musical zeitgeist towards a more sophisticated, slyly dissonant and adventurous flavour of Rock a.k.a. Post Punk. For me, the hitherto ground breaking and innovative Banshees ran out of steam around Hyæna in 1984 when they just started to gather up the laurels flung at them by accepting honorary Goth status. It's also not that hard to imagine what a band fronted by an innocent victim of predatory sexual assault might come across like back in the late 70's. All credit to Susan Ballion of Chislehurst that she never turned her justifiable animus onto the male gender in general as a consequence. The Banshees also played a cover version of the Captain Scarlet theme tune and that's good enough for me.

Yes, there is enough material for a movie. Funnily enough it occurred to me that Siouxsie was so enamoured with 70s cinema that if she had grown up in the USA she would have been drawn to the film industry. The British film industry was in a bad way in the 70s - a huge contrast to the talent in the pop business; so she took her cinematic ideas and put them in pop songs.

10 years old in '77, coloured, into Showaddywaddy Rocknroll, and then hearing snippets of this album (my middle brother borrowed it from a school friend). Was the guy with the union jack armband NF ? -as I just heard about them and seen their graffiti in the far end of Streatham. No, not when Police and Thieves came on with it's 'black' lilting affliction against the police. Now there's reason to see uniformed coppers in a different light. Fast in your face music..'ride ride, I wanna ride' or so White riot sounded like. Whether I knew what the song's were about, I didn't even think. Just moved by the fast, vicious and rampant music. All this in the sunny spring and hot summer. I got hold of the album in late 1978. There wasn't the same wonder and exitement as a year and half earlier. But it's still my favoured Clash LP.

The 101ers were not a covers band. The Clash did a number of covers, but they were not a covers band either. The Clash went thru a number of drummers before Terry Chimes joined. The first Clash album is not a "concept album" by any stretch of the imagination. The first Clash album was only available in the US as an import & wasn't properly released on the American market until late July 1979.

Goodness me, yay. In 77, I was studying ethnomethodology in a rather delightful private boarding school, in the northern region of Tibet. The moment I heard this album, I ordered a private helicopter to the nearest local airport and flew, via India, straight to Gatwick. Before I'd even arrived in London, I had perfected a rough, working class accent, discovered paint splattered, David Hockney style, long-sleeved shirt and decided to sign on the dole the next day. The rest is his/her story. 😄💣🔥

That first album was their best, followed by the next one 'Give'em Enough Rope.' In my opinion, by the the time of 'London Calling' their third, their music had softened into pop, nothing like the first two. I know several Clash fans who are not even aware of the first two records. I never understood that.

Yep, certainly a bit of my point of view, but also about two months of reading interviews, books and videos to get the video right. I was 14 when the album came out, but still was able to learn loads more from all the research. The thing that comes out time and time again from her is a rebellion against the values she saw in suburbia. Also, the influence of cinema and hatred of cliched classic rock. What do you think was missed out?

Love the notes inside History of the Clash when Paul is interviewed by a German (?) police officer who asks if he kicked a fan in the face who was being an arsehole by trying to tie his bootlaces together whilst he was playing on stage, Paul answer's "Yes"...."gudt for you" came the reply from the copper. Saw them at De Montfort Hall, Leicester. Slit's, Subway Sect (in tow I think) plus the Buzzcock's, Shelley opened his mouth and said "it's not very nice to be spit at" in his effeminate Manc voice, and with that the front of the crowd all cleared their throats in unison and a green tsunami of phlegm plastered him...welcome to Leicester Pete....not many song's written about that.🤮...and you wonder why todays music is so bad.🤢

I was struggling with a foundation course for "quantity surveying" at Charles Keene college and we had planned to go to Wolverhampton (I think) to see the SPOT's (Sex Pistols On Tour) but the council cancelled the gig as best as I can remember so we never saw them. They were strange times, I left the UK in 81 and never went back (only for a holiday or to visit Mum and Dad with my family). In all that time I have only been homesick once, for about 30 minutes a few years ago. Looks like a pic of Polly to the side of your email. I quite like Leicester but there was nothing there for me. I closed my eyes as I lay down in a wet field one afternoon just hoping something would change or happen. It did, I was 26 and got a numb nuts job in Scandinavia, it wasn't that the grass was greener, it was just different. I have no regrets, I live a happy life...even as an old(er) man (much of that is down to my missis though). Lydon was well switched on and doesn't suffer fools. Thanx for the reply.
