UK Subs - Emotional Blackmail

[@vinnylsjappa]

Im still getting goosebumps and happy tears from this one...im 60 ...played with them in Oslo 1986, Data Morgana..at Rock Alive...UNFORGETTABLE!!!!!!!!

[@ladyvi1579]

I have a Tape from Data Morgana. Bought it at Blitz in 89. Good one

[@jeffmartin2060]

Im 53 and and still love punk!! Best music ever!!

[@MaitreMark]

[@vn7099]

... hört sich am Anfang echt an wie ... ... 1234 ...

[@arikanerva3178]

I am 58 year old fart. Once i was in the stage with Uk Subs over 40 years ago in Tarvasjoki(Finland) . I still have those albums from 80's

[@Vivaldijevich]

Also! 😀 I watched them in 1986 in Belgrade, Akademija Club, after this song, someone threw tear gas into the audience...

[@stavros-161]

hell yeah mate

[@bobstinkers7676]

One of the greatest openings to an album in any genre of music, it grips your nutsack and drags you in!

[@pancrack]

it was side two !

[@paulnewton9733]

My fave intro too. I was at Charlie's 80th last week-amazing gig!

[@jamesgentner1356]

I'm 60 yrs old caught Subs Nowhere League at Kyber Pass in Philly very early 80s they were fast and tight right on top of us it was Fucking Great !

[@deedeesplectrum9924]

That is possibly one of the best songs I've ever heard, and hardly anyone seem to know about it. It's a tragedy.

[@tommygunn1887]

Everyone knows this song.

[@davidmcgauchie9332]

that guitar is fantastic.

[@ryubelmont2259]

One of my favourite bands ever, I remember when I saw them in concert 15 years ago in my hometown, Palermo (Sicily). At that time I was 15 y.o.

[@pressuredrop6173]

I was 14 the first time I saw the UK Subs. Hitch hiked from Edinburgh to London and back again after the gig. They were the days.

[@wojtekgrzedzicki6138]

i'm 43 years old and i still love to hear the uk subs. i'm punk rocker.

[@mowhak1]

I am 51and I totally agree.

[@MrChipshopman]

My first show was the subs in1979 and it was my daughters first punk show last year. She got to meet Charlie!

[@woodenz]

wojtek grzedzicki lol, I’m 56 , and still luv it ...

[@paddycampbell576]

I'm 52 😜

[@michaelclifford6468]

I'm 50 and my first show was in 83, just before my 16th birthday. I was too young to actually be in the club. There was a tiny underground club called Brannigans in Leeds, UK. There was apunk gig every Wednesday. I got Charlie's autograph. He wrote, "I owe Charlie Harper A beer." With a circle around the A. I guess I still owe him it. I last saw them a few months ago. Great band!

[@adamsoroczynski636]

Uk Subs have been cruelly written out of punk history why? because by 1979 sections of the music press in the uk were saying punk was dead. People have to remember the Uk Subs were one of the premier punk bands who were commercially successful from 1979 to 1981 in Britain.

[@alanknotts1844]

All the London posers had jumped ship by 1979. The Subs and Crass saved punk

[@rodolfobeneventi4788]

​@@alanknotts1844yehh,and sham 69,bussckocks and stiff little fingers too(and black flag in california)

[@bealmor1963]

They're still going.

[@unklecab]

One of my all time favorite punk bands then and now; lyrics and music still is relevant today as is did way back when. Great job you yobs! Keep the flag flying high!

[@steveroche4710]

yer dam right Charlie's a legend

[@deeder2000]

Nick Garrat's guitar playing is very original and he has his own unique style, which made up the UK Subs 'sound'!

[@adamsoroczynski636]

spot on!

[@LilithThePunkPoser]

I agree, like kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJ-3oH5poLh-gck.

[@bobstinkers7676]

When I brought this vinyl back to Vermont back in 1995 and plaid it for me blokes, this song opened with that charging guitar, and we were mesmerized. One of, if not the best opening tracks of any album.

[@zaccandels6695]

are u an american using the word 'bloke'

[@regaininglife9084]

One of my favorite songs by them.

[@krystianluniewicz3881]

it is indeed...great band

[@mongopunisher91]

Saw these guys at a restaurant/bar. There was 5 people there. 3 locals and me and my friend. They sounded just like this. Awesome show.

[@dirtybiker420]

heroes of my youth, and still love the fact I can sit at the bar in a small venue 40 odd years later and buy Charlie and Alvin a few beers, get a selfie and chat shit 👍

[@JontheBerean]

Charlie bought me and my pal a pint once , top bloke !

[@RockandRollMusic00]

The grossly underrated Nicky Garratt on guitar. Brilliant.

[@matthewsutton3677]

You must be Nicky Garrett? 😂

[@mikedavies3361]

Love the Subs. Think you’ve listened to a band to death find myself rotating through all the punk bands couple of years later you listen again and it’s just as good. Never fails

[@Deadlypunker]

another Truth brought to you through punk rock .great track .punk rock for life

[@paul-88E]

This is more like it. I remember buying UK Subs 7" as a teenager - definitely bought 'Warhead'.

[@drawfilms3000]

Brand new world!! Love this record...reminds old viena in the 80s...Squat...Aegidigasse

[@gammalpunkrock]

[@gmanzano89gm]

I saw them live at the Allen theater in SG. They had alot of punk fans cheering them on.

[@MsJp467]

How could I forget about the Eighties when Charlie Harper is facing them? Go ahead, Kudos.

[@Petegrin1]

fucking awesome!

[@tomislington7785]

What I could never understand is that in this song and many others, Charlie writes so lucidly about drugs and drug use ("rooms splashed with blood, needles dipped in mud" - I mean, brilliant!) yet he claims to have never taken or been in to drugs!!!!? One of life's many mysteries I guess!

[@thegreenmage6956]

He would have seen things like this destroying his friends, he was deep-in enough to be able to describe it even as a non-user.

[@thiscorrosion900]

You see things around you, and you write about it, I'm assuming. Most writers write best what they know. or the genres they know. But when it comes from real life, it's a lot better and more authentic.
