The Damned - Smash It Up (Live and exclusive to Lock In Live)

[@MrTonyor]

Captain can really play a guitar. Also very impressed with Dave and the fellow band members. Excellent stuff thank you.

[@Edyth_Hedd]

One of the best songs to come out of the punk era. That fucking intro is glorious.

[@therespectedlex9794]

And Batman Forever, covered by, I think, Greenday.

[@kenlieck7756]

You can tell this is how they always meant to play it - they'd pushed it as far as they dared from punk back in '79. This is just parts 1&2 you know. Parts 3&4 can be heard here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2KZiIyho8ieiLs

Loved these guys from the beginning and I’m 68 now. They never took themselves too seriously and that fact with some excellent song craft made them one of my favorites.

[@Fidelio116]

The Damned is so awesome, Captain is such a good guitarist, charismatic, and Dave Vanian also rules. The best!

[@michaeldelatorre4429]

What joy to watch this! The first time I saw the Damned was in San Francisco and Captain Sensible was wearing some sort of jock strap, so basically bare assed the entire night. They played amazingly, and every other time I saw them, it was always different. They changed their look and their sound every time, always keeping us guessing. The last time I saw them was in LA and they did a smashing cover of LA Woman. Damned forever!

[@patthewoodboy]

this song was me and my co workers friday afternoon tune , me at 55 and him at 22 , we still meet up for beers 8 years on

[@nobbiedog]

i had seen these guys a few time and then i emigrated to aus in 1987 i was alone and kinda homesick and then these buggers turned up playing ina very local pub...went along and had a fantastic time...wasnt homesick anymore...love the damned to bits

Smashed it up by one of my favourite punk bands from 77 when I first heard them and I'd had enough of school ❤️

Dave and Capt coolest & weirdest pair Crazy how they make it all work,there's a method to the madness only they know how to pull off

[@angelaburrow8114]

I love the Dammed, for me they were one of the best punk groups, along with the Buzzcocks, Penetration, the Clash & the Subhumans. My favourite Dammed song is either Smash it Up or All Again Or, 2 very different styles. I've been lucky enough to see them about 6 times live. I definitely wasn't at this gig though. Lol

[@princeofcupspoc9073]

The Captain is what, 110 now, and still looks unmistakably like the Captain.

God save The Damned! AC/DC, Randy-era Ozzy, Van Halen, Misfits, Iron Maiden, Dio & Dio Era Sabbath, Ozzy Sabbath, Alice Cooper, The Clash, Buzzcocks, Killing Joke...etc... Too many to remember, and all are totally irreplaceable. Who do we have now? As our British cousins would call them, "Twats."

[@danielvanstichel6077]

I saw them at the Roxy Club in London on a holiday trip (I was born in Brussels). February 14 (or 13). In May I saw them in Brussels. An incredible concert. Half the audience was on stage for the encores...I was just right to Brian James! I was 18...

[@timridley1]

So many timesd I have been there at Damned gigs for this song, so moving.

[@handsomeclem208]

The best move The Damned ever made was when Sensible switched to lead guitar; they went into the stratosphere when that happened......

[@handsomeclem208]

@CHRON-GEN-X :But even Brian James admitted in interviews on The Final Damnation DVD that Sensible was hands down the best pure musician in the band, and it began to show starting with Machine Gun Etiquette.....

"Daytime TV hadn’t been invented at the time of Marc’s sad passing. I found out when my mum came back from the shops where the Evening Standard had Marc’s demise splashed across the front page. “‘ere... your mate’s had a car crash... what’s his name... Roley... or Boley or summa?” “Not Marc Bolan was it?” “Yeah, I think that might have been it.” So I rushed ‘round and bought a newspaper and sure enough he’d gone. I locked myself in my room the rest of the day. Marc had been really good to us and a sad little tune pretty much wrote itself as soon as I started fumbling with a guitar to take my mind off the dreadful news. By the time the album came out the melancholy instrumental I wrote had been given the title “Smash It Up Part 1,” which I suppose is appropriately macabre considering the way poor old Marc went."
