Dave Vanian and Captain Sensible of The Damned on Jonesy's Jukebox

Dave Vanian and Captain Sensible of The Damned In-Studio - October 27, 2016

[@Chunkychops514]

Punks not dead 🤘it’s just old and easily irritated😁

[@moparbee1523]

Vanian's voice is as good as ever!!! Captain sensible tells it like it is!! Love it!!!

[@celticwarrior1365]

moparbee Deadly Dave still looks fit at 60! And I suppose Captain does too! But neither compare to JJ Burnell at 60+ when stripped to the waist live in concert! God! This heterosexual need a reality check! Jaz, you are "fiercely heterosexual!" Help me out here!

[@superbug1977]

They just don't quit. We liked them and Rachel Sweet at the same time which seems contradictory and strange and impossible to me now.

[@krisscanlon4051]

Wot!

[@joegibel9944]

Dave 6 years later sounds even better and still looks great. Captain as sensible as ever supporting Trump and not getting the vaxxines!!! Wot!!!

[@gazriley624]

imagine the 3 of them talking in 1977 would have been totally different lol

[@daevidharvey7113]

For those that don't know - the Damned's last "So Who's Paranoid ?" is a smokingly fantastic album - GET IT !! especially the one with the three bonus tracks ... SUPERB , as good as it gets , psychedelic , punk , pop , rock , all done with class , taste & instrumental mastery with a true vocalist ... Kings !!

[@rollacoastaride1937]

I saw the Damned a few times back in the 80s, the most hilarious gigs ever

[@copyright-ur1sf]

Dave laughing at Whitestick made this worth a watch

[@beatingheart100]

These are some of the best pop/rock musician interviews I've heard, Jones has a real knack for this sort of thing, probably built on genuine affection and respect for his interview subjects. Thanks for posting.

[@robertoc2485]

Enjoyed that. Thanks for posting.

[@stevee.asherhouseofasherpo8367]

Proper punks speaking from the heart, love it!

[@LetsGoMetsGo33]

6:31 Whitestick!!!! Love ya Cap'n, that's too great.

[@NannyWhip]

6:30....."Whitestick"!!!!! Brilliant and the preceding bit about the megaphone and the torch!

[@andypenny2010]

Never met Steve. But I met Captain and Dave in about 2005. Sat next to Captain and chatted away for a good hour or so. The gig was brilliant. Getting to the dressing room and talking to them was a joy. Captain Sensible is a one off top dude. Very chatty and informative. Just a guy in a popular band that wants to be a guy. Dave is the same. Just a bit more private. Lovely guys. Hope I meet them again 🤘🤘

[@nottmfunguy]

Never mind the bollocks, here's some grumpy old men, bless them.

Wait til your older & grumpy it's inevitable...l 😃

[@Chevalblanc]

New The Damned studio album "Evil Spirits" will be released in early 2018. Is has been recorded with producer Tony Visconti (David Bowie,...) in New York in October 2017 and has been mixed/mastered recently. "Lots of inspiration and even more perspiration went into the making of this album", according to Tony Visconti. The album's ten tracks include "Procrastination", "We're So Nice", "Shadow Evocation", "Evil Spirits" and the single "Standing On The Edge Of Tomorrow",... Vanian describes the album as "a mix of all our best bits from Phantasmagoria to The Black Album. Chock full of melody and guitar licks with a lot of 60s psychedelic feel. There's rawness, but anyone looking for out-and-out raucousness and nothing else might not be so happy." Some say it's the best Damned album since 30 years.

[@dfmn8650]

Phenomenal album indeed.

[@VONCEIL1]

first saw them in 78 @ Nashville room with Brian...seen All the line ups...Rays a true unique person, Dave's always been out there........genuine talent in that studio....they shared a few buses together

[@chuckabbate6650]

he's alright. saw em days later in nyc with my mates. still killing it. tight as a,drum.

[@chickybluetherealone]

Oh, I luv finding these interviews on Jonesy's Jukebox.

[@grimmertwin2148]

Check out the Moby ones - very funny

[@billfrater1948]

Nice one Steve, freaking love Hastings. Broadstairs is lovely too.

[@douglasfreeman3229]

Whispering Bob Jonesy. Shouting Captain Sensible.

[@John-ul8pp]

[@henryhawk2904]

Good cruisey interview. WELL DONE jonesy!

[@daevidharvey7113]

Love Captain's Jonny Moped shirt , how cool is that ?!?!

[@teriakamoto]

these guys. sensible and vanian possess character. they are talented and have seen it all,done it all, and have endured and survived. the damned were a great rock band, still are. call it punk or whatever you want. i personally love the first two albums but like it all. i think it would be cool to see a punk supergroup like steve jones,vanian, captain sensible, and a solid punk powerhouse drummer and bassist do a project. too much to ask ? i think not.

Eighties... Killing Joke. Cobain admitted he lifted the riff from em. KJ didn't care.

[@judasgoat4230]

Dave's reactions to Captain Sensible say it all really

[@happyjack1598]

I love the Jam!And the Damned too.😀❤❤

[@Bodyknowledge77]

Just got Final Jeopardy right..It involved the departed legend with the surname Jones(who's music played right before this began). Now a living Jones legend to watch and listen to.. And punk rock royalty from 3!

[@pavlospikasos3892]

Bodyknowledge 77 I was just watching normans rare guitars. and now I find you in jonesy's Chanel wtf

[@roymartin500]

I watch that channel as well. Comes up in my selections. Guess were linked by their algorithm?

[@suzannebell4561]

What a dichotomy Captain & Dave are. One is as base and classless as can be and the other is pure refinement. I guess that's what made The Damned so good. They tempered each other.

[@cejannuzi]

That's a persona that the Captain created over the years.

[@MH-zg5yw]

Hahaha

[@stokepogue]

I'm mostly into hardcore punk and never knew much of The Damned, except from the one Young Ones episode they were on. But this was a great interview.

[@escaton74]

Like they sang in '82... "Life goes on.. and on..."

[@user-nd2ij9oh1t]

i enjoyed this

[@thomasconway4955]

Great T-Shirt Capt.

[@sweetvonbettie1]

Dave still has that damm sexy voice..

[@iamlennii6791]

That was hilarious just for the awkwardness of it all. Poor Dave. He could hardly get a word in.

[@suefurlong-jy2rx]

Dave never really liked interviews anyway. Just fab seeing them again.

[@orange1666]

‘White stick’ class , ha ha the old coffin dodgers white stick 🤣 , some great crack from these legends

[@MrBill54cle]

Damned if there was a station in NYC to interview them!

[@onlyme219]

More please :)

[@talesfromtinpanalley-thedo6198]

The Captain recorded songs in London's Tin Pan Alley doncha know too !

[@happyjack1598]

Oi I hope live before I get old !😀😃😀😀❤

[@daevidharvey7113]

But , there is a difference in today's pop "music" because there's no f'ing instrumental musicality in it , in much of it , it is diabolical !! haha The Captain is of course correct . & it's not all obviously but by far most ... my wife's kitchen radio ( opposite tastes !! ) has now changed to new country because even she couldn't take it anymore & that's saying something ... very much looking forward to the new Damned Album , hugely !! Ray is an awesome guitar player

[@Limagris912]

fine gorgeous gentleman Dave.. still biting

[@thevelointhevale1132]

Captain is my kind of old crust ...

[@twistedspanner]

Jonesey was a massive David Bowie fan and the Captain was a huge Marc Bolan fan. Jonsey couldn't have picked a worse Bowie album to piss off the Captain 😁

[@mikecaldwell4442]

funny ..after a noel gallagher gig...i told his sound man the same thing as cap sensible.....the fucking bass was all you could hear

[@daevidharvey7113]

I like Ray’s Johnny Moped Shirt

[@TheStgmp44]

I wonder if they still rib old Jonesy about having the first punk single (New Rose) in the charts ?

[@Mark-ld5um]

Punk royalty

[@jonesy2111]

Bowies best stuff is the Berlin Trilogy and Man who Sold the World...but I agree with the Captain about today's music and hating most of these kids. Great interview... these are the best punks

[@adamfindlay7091]

They did Machine Gun Etiquette in Vegas '25 anniversary....live, avail on DVD.

[@crash8563]

Miss you KLOS

[@samkirby3775]

There's an absolute good reason to hate new things. Everything gets worse over time because of the people that direct society want everyone to be stupid.
