If anybody thinks the band look rough on the promo films, you should have seen them live. Rough, ready and one of the best bands of all time. If Lee was still with us he would have put Rag 'n' Bone man in the shade with his fantastic voice and "mouthie" playing. Once a fan of Dr Feelgood, you'll always Feelgood.

[@cernegiant398]

Great comment Allan.

[@davidcasey1434]

I have to agree 😭🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸💯🆗

[@LaurenceL]

I saw them numerous times and all \I can say was attitude...stood eye to eye with Lee numerous times as they often were not at big venues....mesmeric, the whole band ...

[@TheRealMaturecheese]

Lucky enough to have seen them live even if I was right by one of the speakers at the front

[@spanishpeaches2930]

Saw them three times..not with Wilko though. Great times.

[@user-wp8vy8le3y]

I bought the single of this track on 45 rpm vinyl in 1978 - on brown vimyl ! Great days pre -CD and imternet streamimg. Also - the band were a great alternative to the likes of Genesis et al and all the disco Donna Summer/John Travolta/Bee Gees stuff back then. Pure nostalgia - don't you just love it ! It's great, too, that today's generation can appreciate this great British Rhythm 'n' Blues band via internet platforms like KZbin - who are probably still very underrated.

[@markpav9906]

[@Nictumeni]

i bought this single in 1978 also on brown vinyl & cool for cats on pink vinyl at Waterloo station before a school trip to Belgium,my 1st 2 singles ever.

[@SpeedTriple59]

One of the best bands from these shores deserved more recognition...

[@camwells9726]

I grew up in New Zealand and had their records , people would say who the fuck is dr feel good ? when they looked thru my record collection :)

[@trtr-bc3zl]

​@SMC Gmail who underrated them and how is it a crime ? They were an amazing blues rock band

[@miranda7598]

Just raw music and I love it.

[@targetglen]

Sparko's work on the bass always under-rated. Keeps everything together.

[@nottmfunguy]

A band that played bloody hard, drinks, cigs and fists. The best and toughest pub rock band ever and the best thing to come out of Essex.

[@threadbear]

Somebody said '...The Sweeney of rock'. Sums them up perfectly. Grubby suits, sweaty faces, booze and ciggies. And one of the best frontmen ever.

[@nottmfunguy]

@@threadbear Definitely!

[@spmoran4703]

In the 80s this band almost single handedly kept blues alive. Always a good band to see lives . Good times guaranteed.

[@SharksSeanOSullivanSharkey]

One of the best RnB bands ever...That is some guitar solo

[@paulrishworthhunter5715]

Still the greatest Rthym and Blues track ever recorded bar none. Style and Menace what a combination. R.I.P Wilko and Lee. Dr Feelgood got into my system from the start.

[@jackbeam56]

Also R.I.P. Gypie Mayo 😞

[@stephenackerman2236]

Extremely underrated band. Absolutely amazing. They were still good after Wilko's departure. But, they were their best with Wilko.

[@tonypetts6663]

I love Wilko, seen him a number of times, even when he played with the blockheads. His sound is unique and the early Feelgood recordings have an individual sound that wasn't repeated. However Gypie gave them a more cohesive, rounded and complete sound which is what helped give them their only top 10 single. It was however Wilko's guitar playing on their no.1 album stupidity, so you pays your money, you takes your choice. Whoever played guitar, their sound was great.

[@trtr-bc3zl]

Who underrated them?????

[@threadbear]

I suppose it is a bit like farting in church, but I always though Wilko was a one-trick pony. Great for Dr Feelgood, but I always preferred Gypie Mayo's guitar playing.

[@chriswalford4072]

Now that's what you call drum and bass

[@thewomble1509]

Ditto!

[@michaeltalbot8242]

[@Charlietwice]

Great description

[@alancanham2956]

Hahahaha

[@TEVEZ1231000]

Wow......that 20 second guitar solo is so underrated, its criminal...... Bass player sublime. Great, great band, who should have been massive, and I mean massive,. Of their type, we will probably never see the like of them again........ever

[@threadbear]

Gypie Mayo was such a good guitar player. Very different form Wilko, of course, but he really brought something special to the band. And you are right, we'll never see their like again.

[@ianjohnson4857]

Play this at the loudest your speakers can take. Mind blowing your neighbours will love it.

[@fodsaks]

I never think Sparko gets enough credit for creating the spine of the Feelgood sound.

[@jamiedolling6928]

@Naz Nomad The band hated him -- all that talent and all that speed. But the rest of those fuckers had the absolute pure bollocks... they aren't a band, they're a road gang.

[@strictlynorton]

The band were never truly appreciated at a national level... but us East End kids followed them everywhere. Canvey Island's finest.

[@BrendaDrumm]

Im 74 loved the song from day one lol love from coventry 😂

[@kevinobrien1259]

They were massive in America, they had name bands supporting them

[@BrendaDrumm]

@@kevinobrien1259 im 74 i loved the song from day

[@marcbarham9854]

I think Lee has forgotten the milk part and gone straight for the alcohol. Period. This band was pure rock and roll. They sweated rock and roll.

[@NeillR]

Blues

[@leesloan8216]

the lyrics are based loosely on an incident in America when the band had been drinking white Russians ( milk vodka and kalhua) were pulled over for running a red light. Wilko was still in the band then

[@myoldmate]

Lee is performing from experience. One of the greatest frontmen in the history of recent times and a true talent that lost his life to excess. In other words a true Rock star. RIP Lee, you've left your mark big time.

[@kaushikganguli1948]

This song packs more in less than 3 minutes than many more double albums. Hard Rock at its purest, rawest best.

[@SpeedTriple59]

[@donnbedford7657]

Wilko and he didn't play on this track it was the also late and great Gypie Mayo

[@alanoconnor6921]

A brilliant no nonsense kinda band!!

[@montegriffo24]

RIP Wilko bless you for your contribution to new wave and rhythm and blues.

[@corkybristol]

And I am priveledged to have been able to call Gypie Mayo a friend of mine. I met him in the early nineties, and became friends with him not knowing who he actually was, I just knew him as a guitarist called John I met at the local music shop. Really nice guy and one hell of a guitarist.

[@TheAngello120]

Saw the first gig he did with them in Cardiff after Wilco' left when they introduced this song, less visual than Wilco but a stunningly good player.

[@davidglow3]

Gypie was by far the band's best guitarist. Wilco was excellent but usually limited himself to repeated riffs rather than solos

[@threadbear]

I think so too. Much as I like Wilco, for me he's a bit of a one-trick pony. Gypo had a lot more to offer a blues band like the Feelgoods.

[@davidglow3]

@MIKE J l cannot be 100% but he played in bands largely unknown or off the radar.I think the band advertised and he won his audition.In the 1970s brilliant guitarists were in abundance,so many remained obscure and unlucky.Mick Taylor of the Rolling stones is one that got a lucky break as did Type.regards David
