this dude picks some of the coolest songs.

[@michaelgray7670]

THIS is the reason you’re my favorite guitar channel. KEEP THE PUNK SONGS COMING

[@panagiotisexplorer213]

I just discovered the channel and even though I’m mostly a metal guy I say finally someone who teaches different styles like punk, indie etc. Really good song choices!

[@laverdanick]

Cracking lesson. If you like Brian James, check out his later work in Lords Of The New Church, with the late Stiv Bators from the Dead Boys another classic punk band.

[@motioninmind6015]

Wow, this song! Thank you for bringing stuff like this to KZbin, no one else does it like you.

[@SSRT_JubyDuby8742]

I can remember going into Penny Lane (a record shop in Liverpool) in 1979 and asking if they had a Damned song book. The fella behind the counter wet himself with laughter and called attention to my request to other shop employees and customers, remarking "just play E, a songbook for the Damned, I 've heard it all now ". They were and still remain my favourite punk band. Fantastic lesson as always Adrian, if you get 'round to doing them again..Feel the Pain or Idiot box please. 😎🎸✅

[@sidneymorris2254]

I remember the name of that shop but can't remember where it was? Great memories!

[@PaulJonesy]

Feel the Pain, great song.

[@SSRT_JubyDuby8742]

[@rossredhead2020]

Thank you for posting this lesson. Nice to see early damned tracks acknowledged. Brian James is an amazing guitarist and songwriter.

[@frozenborderline2109]

Coincidentally, I've just had the album on a loop for the past week or so. Superlative taste and great work as always.

[@DocManFR]

The Damned, a classic song, a superb Les Paul, great playing. A nice vid. Thanks Adrian!

[@PaulJonesy]

Another great video Adrian, nice to see Brian James getting some recognition.

[@tobig.9562]

Thank you. The damned are one of my favourites! As much as i love their (legendary and rightfully so) debut and james' guitar work, i think their best stuff was made from machine gun etiquette, black album up to strawberries. Fantastic Band. Your channel is pure gold.

[@sidneymorris2254]

Brilliant takes me back. Thank you

[@stevenimeson902]

Love these riffs! Great album too

[@MercurialToys]

I had a gut feeling you would pick "Fan Club" from the two songs I suggested, and "Fan Club" was really the one I wanted to hear you do. I can't wait to have a go at this tonight when I'm home. Great work as always Adrian. You would be a dream guitarist to have in band.

[@CAP21]

Great playing, great instructor, and one beautiful Les Paul👍. Thank you Sir for sharing

[@martynspooner5822]

[@RatzTeeth]

Great video and underrated riff

[@incredibledisc]

Another great left field choice Adrian. I swear sometimes it’s like you have a window into my record collection!

[@keithh8661]

How cool,thanks so much

[@tolvajakos]

i can't be excited enough about this video

[@AndrewAHayes]

Thanks for fulfilling my request for songs by The Damned, a wicked choice Ade! Brian James has released some awesome solo material over the years, a particular favourite being The Guitar That Dripped Blood and the track from that album "Becoming A Nuisance" Brian plays a Squier Telecaster that will knock the socks off any Fender Telecaster, despite having a collection of Fender Tele's and other styles of guitar he uses the Squier 99% of the time, he did tell me the story behind acquiring the Squier but I was quite tipsy and forgot it by the next morning

[@AndrewAHayes]

If you are searching for Brian James on streaming sites such as Spotify be aware there are two Brian James's, the other being a funk like musician, you will realise you have the wrong Brian though.

[@muskratwiser4700]

Yes!!! Thank you so much, the damned is so fooken underated!

[@bobowrathsovine.]

I thought Captain Sensible was the only guitarist at least until the band regrouped after breaking up. In 2006 I was in San Diego and heard him talking live on a now defunct station 91.1X the cutting edge of rock.

[@tolvajakos]

you saved me from a rut/standstill. what a find during lockdown!

[@PDDistVideo]

incredible.

[@rabmbo]

Most excellent. Some Captain Sensible from Machine Gun Etiquette, The Black Album or Strawberries would be much appreciated.

[@davecarpenter2517]

Adrian, you're one of the few teachers on KZbin who actually seem as if the guitar is part of your genetic makeup. Faultless playing.

[@alejandrohualdez5550]

Another top quality tutorial, as usual. But wait.......Is that 'Smash it Up parts l & ll' I see in the distance.....?

[@oxrjbizzle1984y]

awesome, thanx adrian, ive been hoping you would get to some damned stuff! new rose would be killer, as well as really anything else from that album, as every song on there is classic!

[@YekaterinaMezhennaya]

There is a video on The Damned youtube channel where Captain Sensible teaches New Rose.

[@thefruitfarmer3000]

Great vid, I can play it now. Would like you to do Feel the Pain.

[@jacobhenderson1763]

My favorite damned song

[@waltm8011]

Aint it fun bt Dead Boys. Thx😉👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@gregorystoner4708]

Thanks again ! For being you.

[@commoneuropeanstarling]

Thanks for this. Can you do Plan 9 Channel 7 please?

[@jimmyjimbo666]

u legend :-)!

[@MRGINCAT]

Wonderful stuff! And who would have been thinking m7's were an an integral part of Punk(?) Anyway, Julie and I strolled over from Mayday hospital to the party. Julie was a wonderful nurse (and a victim of the errant ways of my youth. Sorry Julie!) We get through the front door and ... lo and behold ....Sensible is bending over a guy who has passed out in the hallway, holding a cigarette in his hand (Sensible that is). Quoth he (in sarf London drawl) "Oh my god ... I stuck it in his eye" ... and naturally a good time was had by all. Moral ... sometimes things aren't as bad as they might seem. Forthcoming extract from "The Modern Aesop" by Iben Bijiben.

[@Mr_Lupine]

Great stuff, although you should play that on an SG ! Brian James was a criminally ignored guitarist. My favourite.

[@outsideview7418]

Talkin' about punk rock classics, Holiday in Cambodia?? thanks Adrian.

[@rabmbo]

Any chance of Plan 9 Channel 7 Adrian? There's some pretty nifty Captain Sensible geetaring on that! As there is on all of Machine Gun Etiquette. Also a good opportunity to treat yourself to an SG while you're at it :)

[@iancrow8915]

Have you got a lesson for smash it up part one.

[@petercullum1374]

Please do guitar video on the stooges ramones or the saints

[@russell90ful]
