Please upload the whole interview ffs.

They were the definitive Aussies playin what sounds to me like the most classic rock n’ roll. A good indicator of how cool they were is nobody fuckin knows em, always a sure sign

[@alinagolovachenko4284]

Would love to also hear the story about playing things really fast being Damo's 'secret' that RB also seemed to know...

[@Semprini537]

CELIBATE RIFLES, oh, YES

[@themillwall442]

Damo? Amazing bloke. As I said to him on one or two (generally drunk) ocassions, I had the recogntion of being the fitst person to buy Siideroxylon in 83 at Digeridoo Records. where the guy said "Maaaate you are th first purchaser of the record.!" Love it to this day!

[@deanpd3402]

...and while you were generally drunk, there was a very good chance that Damo was sober when he responded to you.

[@themillwall442]

@@deanpd3402 Thanks Dean. I'm sure there's a message there, but I couldn't be fucked caring. Ha ha ha.

@@deanpd3402 Better than a vey good chance, he would've been. Your point?

[@deanpd3402]

Unlike Damo, I watched bands not thinking I want to be up on stage doing that but I ended up on stage anyway.

[@Johnny-lr5jt]

Love both bands. The Rifles fortunately put out vastly more material than Birdman, who quit after one album.

Radio Birdbrain always gave me the urge to wear black clothes with insignias on the shirt but I figured this SS look might scare the Jewish people out in the Eastern suburbs of Sydney half to death.
