SXSW: The Damned- Don't You Wish That We Were Dead Documentary Q&A w/Wes & Captain Sensible

18th March, 2015 Q&A after the film's premiere at the Paramount Theatre in Austin, Texas, with director Wes Orshoski and Captain Sensible. Missed the beginning...

Great bloke captain will always have a chat with you at any gig. Long live The Damned!!

[@SixStringZombie]

WOW! I witnessed the guys grabbing Capt's chefs hat at the 9:30 Club show in DC! He was genuinely upset and seriously refused to play until they relented (with pressure from the crowd) to give the hat back. Capt put it back on, took a big spit at them, and then the encore commenced. They played 2 nights there. The following night Brian James had a tantrum onstage, walked off and quit the tour.

"Round of applause for Brian James" Here! Here!

Damned Damned Damned was and still is a great album, but for me it has to be Machine gun etiquette and let's not forget the masterpiece that invented goth - the Black Album

[@blakejohnson7148]

Machine Gun Etiquette is definitely their best album. Second best punk album of all time.

[@gmantramp404]

@@blakejohnson7148 these hands . Plan 9 channel 7 .I just can't be Happy today not Punk!!! Smash it up Poppy.

[@blakejohnson7148]

Love Song, Machine Gun Etiquette, Antipope, Liar, Melody Lee, Looking at You, Noise, Noise, Noise are all punk songs. I rest my case.

[@gmantramp404]

@@blakejohnson7148 Definitely correct there but the first two two albums didn't introduce keyboards and the change in Musical direction like Machine Gun Etiquette did .

[@reindeer-o-stoole]

probably the best album was Walk Among Us, then Black Album

[@djgforce11]

Cant wait 2 c this film about the GREATEST FUCKIN PUNK BAND OF ALL TIME!!!

[@fuzzface100]

[@kevinadamson3505]

THE captain is class.

[@kevinadamson3505]

Ive been a damned fan for 40 years and only recently been to see them wich was class. I love them all my life. Captain is fucking mental but truthful and a fucking instistition.

[@thedamnedrose6665]

Captain looking handsome here! I love the "drunken cunts"

[@ephemeraworld]

Met him & his family on hols in the Canary Islands 1999 - only a dozen of us including an ex guitarist from S & the banshees - they didn't speak to each other - but he was really cool - did Day Dream Believer on Karaoke whizzing the mike wire around much to the dismay of the female host .

[@themaddaddy9515]

great stuff....

[@SixStringZombie]

Thanks for filming and sharing this. Wish I could've been there...

[@stranger0nthetown]

No problem! It's the least I could do for those that couldn't make it. :)

[@stranger0nthetown]

***** Well, I hope you're not wearing steel toes.... I *think* tickets at the door were somewhere around $10, but I was on the guest list, so can't be certain. Sorry you didn't make it!

[@ndSpaz]

Why can there only one guitarist in The Damned? Wouldn't it be cooler with Brian and Captain Sensible?

[@beastieboy9286]

I agree with paul gray on the bass
