UK Subs - Warhead

UK Subs - Warhead (Top of the Pops)

[@turquoisejellyfish5893]

The album this song is from "Brand New Age" is a really super album & one of my favourite punk rock/new wave albums , it was released in 1980 incidentally.. The UK Subs are in my opinion a really super band. Fantastic. I was so lucky to be a teenager in the late 1970s & to have gotten into all this super music. At 60 I fully appreciate just how good this music is.

Charlie Harper predicting all our current problems all those years ago! Charlie you are a LEGEND! I had the priveledge of putting him up in my pub in Bristol years ago. Like a dickhead I never took any pics or got him to sign my LP's!

Nicky Garret was my reason for picking up a guitar, 56 and still playing it….🤟

@@jaspionwins8088Their economy and power is totally dependant on it , sad sad world , every war and every problem there is one common denominator -the empire of lies dictating policy and bending the rules , the United Snakes ! - but their reign like all empires is coming to an end !

Cant wait seeing the UK SUBS ,tonight 21/4/22 , seen the band , back in the 80s, one my favourite bands , Charlie Harper still going strong ,

[@Lowmelt]

It’s Top of The Pops, where no on was allowed to play live, they had to lip sync. Seeing that punk was rooted in authenticity, it’s always a bit surprising to see this UK Subs performance...but it’s one of the great songs to come out of The UK punk scene and it foretold a truth that we all can bear witness too. Fkn incredible, unforgettable track 🤘🏻💀

[@P46EY]

The Exploited also appeared and played Dead Cities... Punk on ToTP was rare but not unheard of. Punks Not Dead!

[@Chaoitcme]

I like what Stiff Little Fingers did when they performed on Top of the Pops.

[@michaelairley2015]

Only the presenters of TOTP were allowed to play live ;-)

[@Mixwell1983]

I find it odd that in an era after disco how punk stepped in. Im sure in the US it was different but damn soo many uk82. Bands popped up. In 1982 my mom was preggo wit me and wouldnt be til April 1983 til I broke free

[@HonrbleMention]

Charlie Harper's voice. 👍👍

[@thebadloser]

By the time Top of the Pops discovered punk rock this is all we were left with. Has there ever been an organisation more adept at destroying the culturally relevant stuff and hanging on to the stuff that no-one gives a fuck about? Just before the Rolling Stones made their recording debut in 1963, they applied for a spot on BBC Saturday Club (a radio show) and were rejected because their singer sounded "too black". Still, plenty of Robbie, Stormy and the cutting edge of that young punk Jools Holland to salivate over between now and 2050. Bravo BBC.

[@GreasyRockabilly]

[@justinneill5003]

When punk first emerged I seem to remember the whole point being that it was all about primitive raw energy, everything being done on a shoestring with by street kids with little or no musical experience, made up for by their intensity attitude, kicking back against the music establishment and rejecting the musical virtuosity of established bands as self indulgent. The idea of a guitar solo would’ve been anathema to true punk rockers in the early days. The problem was, they were unable to prevent their own musical skills from improving.

[@kennethmacalpin7655]

It blows my mind the stuff that was accepted on mainstream television when it's so subversive by today's standards. Top of the Pops, and he's talking about "the soldiers of Islam loading their guns" and "burning suns setting in the Western world" and being "stuck in the middle of the Yankees and the Russians".

What up with the presenters strangulation grip on that girl??
