Slaughter And The Dogs - Where Have All The Boot Boys Gone

Dogz Bollox :-)

[@MrEdsTheRef]

In 1969 with my mate Dave we were Boot boys. Cant believe now at 70 sitting on the sofa with my feet up but still enjoying this real pure punk.

Your uncle made a phenomenal LP which I wish more people acknowledged. Truly one of the classics of the first wave of punk.

[@markhernandez2659]

You're proud of...him?

[@MsFlissBliss444]

I love this still 🤩 Was about 15 when I heard it the first time, still kickin' 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻

[@Cestrian64]

The best punk band EVER. Always regret not seeing them live, this track got me into punk all those years back now.

[@dj-um7el]

Same, except the song that got me into Punk was Cranked Up Really High.

I remember playing this loud as hell in my room around 1981 and slam dancing and destroying everything LOL

[@alrapids]

ha, I remember a kid at school bringing this in to play to our old crusty classical music teacher - needless to say it didn't go down to well!

[@formulacub9953]

What a great song. When we used to go to gigs at The Rock Garden, Middlesbrough, I'd always ask the dj to play it. When he did the local skins got up and danced and usually one went down and he got a gentle kicking. Anyone remember those days?

[@steveroche4710]

yea I remember going to the rock garden. I'm 60 now and this song still sounds as good

[@jackglen666]

its fuckin sad that most people have never heard slaughter and the dogs or that they even exist and thats really sad.

[@MaciejWojtkowiak]

In Eighties in communist Poland in almost every bigger bookstore was "Backstage Pass" vinyl featuring Slaughter and The Dogs, UK Subs, Stiff Little Finger, Angelic Upstarts etc. I guess it was Polish bootleg edition, but make me happy to hear some good punk from UK :)

[@robingray4540]

I saw these in Manchester , we went up with one of the support bands , Manufactured Romance , formerly 4th Reich and we went to the aid of a punk who was getting beat up by skinheads . The punk said I don't want your London help. It proceeded to kick off upstairs with about 10 of us against the crowd. Luckily the band we travelled up with got us in their dressing room and we armed ourselves with bottles and chairs but thankfully nothing happened.

[@YAHUAHsgotmysix]

Manufactured Romance, I'd forgotten them! I saw them and Crisis support the Cockney Rejects at the Electric Ballroom. That gig was a war zone from the off I can tell you!

[@charlesduggan7600]

Probably the first punk album I bought, although I didn't know it at the time, and neither did 99% of the population, I saw the cover in that record shop at the north end of Brixton road and it went from there. Ended up playing guitar really badly in an infamous Oi band, had to run with cabs and guitars from a pub being petrol bombed, but you know what? Would not change a thing, other than that time the ginger skin bird said come to my place and fuck me and my mum :)

[@wideernie]

That bass!!!

[@ThePegasus101]

[@NancyDrewe]

Thanks for this. Haven't heard it in a long while. Subbed, hopefully they'll let us listen over here--since they took away my Rejects vid of Bubbles, which really pissed me off. Thanks again.

[@Maxshard]

A classic that will never die, couldn't believe how well they still do it live. I would say so many of the bands since owe so much to guys like this for breaking down music's fomerly constrained walls, but they aren't in the same league as these guys and modern music is just crap.

[@MrWREV]

Still got the single O:-)

[@jeffmead2935]

loovlee ole choon

[@unclemort1960]

Probably re-fering to skinheads and football hooligans. Skinheads first emerged late 1960s ,then they sort of revived late 70s.The actual boots being re-fered to are the excellent Dr Martin`s ( DMs or Doc`s) I was never a`boot boy ` but that was all i ever wore on my feet from my mid teens till about 25. Hard wearing and good to run in from would be attackers !

[@choiceyboy6615]

Boot boys weren't skinheads it was more glam rock dms sprayed silver or gold with stencilled initials of your club and shit like that Leeds crew used to have Alice Cooper make up it was around 71 72

Where have all the Boot Boys Gone Wearing boots and short hair cuts. We will kick you in the gut, But no luck they've all grown up. They drink tea from a cup. Some get married and settle down. Others they leave for a foreign town. Fighting gangs every night. We use sticks hit 'em in the Kite. (C) Where have all the boot boys gone ? Hammy, Jacko, Boots and John Where have all the boot boys gone ? It looks like I'm the only one. The one !!!!! Friday came we go to a dance hall. Battering stuff we have a ball . We don't know what we've done. We go see United coz we're having fun We get released on 50 quid bail. But I know I'll end up in jail. I was a leader I was so proud . I hung with a gang, what a crowd (C) Now its been five years or more. I'm a skin don't know what for . I don't know what I am. I don't see or give a damn . I must stop this M.O.D I must try, try and be me. I must listen. I must try. I must move. Move or die ! (c) C'mon. Do ya wanna scrap ? Get Ready then. Where have all the boot boys gone ?
