buddy, people didn't become more sensitive. people have always been sensitive. it's just that jokes age when they're told too much. if you find that you're laughing at the same jokes you did when you were 16, it just means you're simple.
I'll never forget, it was summer 1985, a Jamaican friend of mine pulled up in his T-reg Volkswagon Scirocco and said "Get in and listen to this, you'll love it;" Drove around Coventry giggling for a couple of hours. He did the same thing to me with a pirated tape of Chubby Brown 🤣
@@eightiesmusic1984 At school, one of my best mates was Paul King's cousin, we all piled round his house to watch them on Top of the Pops, even though we were then 17 and pretended we hated TOTP 😆
@@frankiefugazi Thanks for replying. King had a proper musical pedigree despite the way they were marketed. As you will know better than me they emerged from the Coventry music scene of the early eighties and could actually play their instruments like any good band should. They were marketed on image in the age of the pop video but concert footage shows they had a much edgier and rawer sound than the records alone suggest. I went to Leicester University in the late eighties and early nineties but never got to Coventry. Over the years I have been aware of its musical history with The Specials and others like The Selecter- it has always seemed overlooked to me and deserving of more attention and credit. I hope to visit the museum dedicated to its music one day. Two Tone was/ is a remarkable phenomenon- I went to a talk by Pauline Black in Liverpool at the time she published her autobiography. Jerry Dammers is a genius. I once knew an Asian person called Jasbir ( I cannot remember his surname) who was from Coventry and went to school with Paul King- he said it was clear even then that he was probably going places and so it proved. He said he was nice to people but very focused on his ambition at the same time. I have listened to a couple of interviews with Jim Lantsberry King's guitarist who really could play. TOTP was such a big deal in the seventies and eighties- 1985 was King's year with seven appearances on the programme.
@@eightiesmusic1984 @eightiesmusic1984 Thanks for the info! For some reason King reminded me of the band Fashion, remember them? I'm glad you mentioned 2Tone first, us Cov people tend to bang on about the Specials whenever we can, we're worse than vegans! 😁 I consider myself very musically 'lucky'. I went to School in Hillfields, Coventry and knew the Specials from our area growing up, they sometimes rehearsed in my school, I had Art lessons in the room they made the video for Rat Race. I was 11 when they blew up, so, that was me for years, and the reason I love Ska, Rocksteady and Reggae to this day. Good memories, thanks bud 👍🏼

Saw these so many times in the mid to late 80's including the chip shop tour when they hired a lorry and had some lass in a bikini wearing a miss Macclesfield sash handing out free gravy from a giant tub
Remember being introduced to The Macc Lads by a Geordie squaddie whilst serving at Bessbrook Mill in The British Army. Must have been 1988-1989 and still listening to them!! 👍🙂
I saw these at Nottingham Rock City, around about December 1990 or 91 cant remember, was a mates 21st birthday bash! what a carnage! the lead singer was covered in green snot and all the band members were being spat at and they just continued to play! what a night to remember!
Good lord mate. Did you even watch the video? It's literally about how they offended EVERYONE. These types of comments are so boring man. "It's all too PEEECEEEE now the bloody WOKIES ruined music!!" Absolute YAWN!
Now He's a Poof and Dan's Pants!😂 Back when shock comedy was all the rage and people laughed at those who were 'offended'. Along with acts like Dumpy's Rusty Nuts, the lads from Mac, were a staple of the UK, heavy metal scene in the mid eighties.
I was about 13 years old when Beer & Sex & Chips & Gravy found its way into my grubby teenage hands and it was glorious, Sweaty Betty being an instant favorite track. Didn't know that they had such a hard time back in those days since it seemed pretty clear that all they wanted was to have a good time. Good video this👍.
If you see a sweet and kind looking old grandad walking around Macclesfield just remember he was probably in the audience jumping around to these guys when he was younger.
We saw em in Portsmouth several times as well as at the universities in Portsmouth and Southampton. They were fookin Reet just something to laugh at and with. Just like blazing saddles. It was harmless fun of the day.
Saw them twice. Once in the venue in Edinburgh and once at the stars and stripes in Carlisle where I witnessed the craziest fight I've ever seen.. Good times.
Go listen to Kunt and the Gang - around now, and make the Macc Lads look like choirboys. For example Kunt did the song "Paperboy" where the main hook rhymes "paperboy" with "r**e a boy".
I went for a job interview and as I took my jacket off in the waiting room the woman who was interviewing me saw a couple of badges on the arm..in the interview she said I noticed a Macc lads badge...the woman interviewing me was the mum of muttleys girlfriend...job was mine🙂
Actually used to go down the road in a vauxhall viva sitting out of the windows just like that! Great memories, great days .... everyone takes themselves too seriously nowadays!.......the wankers!😂
I, an Australian, have an armful of tatts from my former brother in law by my ex wife. He introduced me to these reprobates in 1996. In 2012 I took the family overseas on holiday. One night we were in a pub in Chester, not Macclesfield, but still Cheshire. Sent him a picture of my pub grub...chips and gravy and a pint of ale. He sent me a message back saying "Fook right off tha' fooking muppet!" True story.
Sir, Chester is very posh you complete used wet wipe. Nothing like Macclesfield. My god man. Also no Englishman ever says..ya Muppet.. it's for movies etc..no man ever says it. 🙄and sir, why would ya friend text...fooking..?? Up north esp Chester, Manchester, Salford, we do kinda say it like that but only a fake northerner would text it 😂😂
My mate used to have a Macc Lads tape. Was always trying to play it at after parties (after drum and bass raves) which never, ever went down well, but He still always tried to play it :'D I'd be on the decks, and He'd be like "Can I hoy on Macc lads?" hahaha. Like "no mate" we have 20+ gurning psycho's in here, if the music drops below 180bpm, you're gonna be responsible for a chain reaction come down.
Can tell your age by the word “vinyls”. A modern day grammatical error that proves the US struggles with plurals and other countries are daft enough to copy!! Enjoy the Macc Lads mate! Keep buying records, they’re great!
Saw these live. It was mental. Bottles flying like the blues brothers. Literally raining beer all night. The bouncers just hid. 🤣 Knutsford scabbywilly!!!
Had some great nights in The Greyhound. Back when the area had load of top gig venues. Clarendon Ballroom, The Odeon, The Hammersmith Palais, The Red Cow.
Was that the night of The Poll Tax riots? Remember being chased down Charing Cross Road by the old Bill and missing the gig at The Marquee as the Police had shut off the area for hours, so I pissed off home. Saw them a year later though. Crazy times.
Look at the bands these days. Meet and greet packages, paying for autographs, and no photos my god how a great night out displayed by this band and their fans have changed for the worst. Getting spat on and beer thrown at them yet no storming off the stage or getting kicked out. You can’t cough or fart these days without getting thrown out of an arena. Take me back to the good old days.
There's plenty of punk shows (very cheap or free, brought beer allowed, no guards etc) happening in any given country, the key thing is to stop looking at the arenas. The mainstream culture might be regulated and timid today, but there's plenty of underground stuff. :)
Born in 84 in Australia and I found these guys through the old skins and punks I was in jail with. Heard Sweaty Betty and Beer Sex Chips and Gravy and was an instant fan. It's the kind of Punk I love the more offensive the better. Hell GG Allin is my favourite Rocker so that says alot😂
When I was at school in the late 80s, the Macc Lads cassettes were copied and traded around a lot. Eddie Shit was also a favourite and I think he toured with them.
Beer and sex and chips and gravy. Ts'all a Macc Ladd wants. Now what people don't understand about the Macc Ladds is the complete parody. But those muthas could play. I mean, they might have done simple songs in terms of technicalities, but they were way better skilled with music than the actual songs let on. I used to despise them when I first heard them. But they grow on you.
Saw them a few times, including the infamous Birmingham Hummingbird gig, where the guitarist, Phil McCavity, got hit by a flying toilet seat. Fun times 😂
Saw them in 1988 at Wolverhampton Civic Hall. We were right at the front and it was raining gobs, then some toilet paper and at one point a toilet seat.
I still have an old cassette with "Fluffy Pup" on it some Brit gave me at an Airforce Base I played in a band at in the early 90's in Canada. I was like " what the eff is this music?" lol.😅
@@PunkTome Wouldn't be surprised if this man surpasses the depths of horror reaching the Donkey Kong Kill Screen then goes and pumps out another video like there's no tomorrow.
I'm a lefty snowflake and i love 'em, funny is funny, if it was mean spirtited then it wouldn't be funny, saw them live when they first spawned, fuckin' brilliant, they were pretty good on their reunion tour a few years ago, if they tour again they are well worth a looky looky, oh and don't wear anything you wouldn't want soaked in "liquid"...
Unless you had a really good Indy record store you'd never find their records here. And even then it wasnt a guarantee. My friend had a tape sent to him and we all made copies.

As a child of the 80s I fully endorse this...happy memories
Back in the day I picked up a Macc Lads CD based purely on the song titles. I wasn't disappointed 😆
I live in Blackpool. Guess which Macc Ladds song I heard first. You guessed it. Beer and sex and chips and gravy. They should have written a song about our town, they could have called it Blackpool :p
I fumbled past the boils, dug out a rusty coil,
I could have been scarred for life
It lay there rusting, I said it smelled disgusting,

Great description.
they were a spoof band
SO true...!
your mum's a puff
"Well she wore big knickers and worked on t' sewage farm" Gotta be one of the best opening lines ever. Top band, I had all the albums back in the day.
In a time when The Macc Lads and Viz magazine reigned supreme - before everyone got so sensitive
They were a spoof
Buster Gonad and his Unfeasibly Large Testicles. F'nark F'nark.
No idea what you're talking about.......
buddy, people didn't become more sensitive. people have always been sensitive. it's just that jokes age when they're told too much. if you find that you're laughing at the same jokes you did when you were 16, it just means you're simple.
Mary Whitehouse and the professional outrage brigade were a thing back then.
The difference is we have the internet now.
People were sensitive then too. If they weren't there would have been absolutely no fucking point in the Macc Lads at all.
'Ey up! Macc Lads are legendary
Love the Macc Lads was at their 6th birthday gig at Preston Guildhall in '89, still one of the most fun gigs I've ever been to.
i bet australians would love this band
Definitely mate!!
They remind me of the cosmic psychos
@@Delowist
Actually they do a bit!!
Sorta remind me of l Spit On Your Gravy..
But full of Boddingtons, instead of Carlton Draught and Serapax!
When I was fourteen, yeah. Then again I was listening to a lot of Kevin "Bloody" Wilson and Rodney Rude as well...because I was fourteen.
@Delowist The toy dolls aswell.
Start touring again lads, we need you more than ever!
Heard them but never actually got to go to one of their gigs. "Sweaty Betty" what a classic
Saw them in Portsmouth. It was nuts!!!! Everyone at the front was non-stop spitting at them! Sweaty Betty was my fave I think.
My best mate had most of the Macc Lads releases on vinyl. We laughed our arses off. It was great being twelve.

Had some great nights in The Greyhound. Back when the area had load of top gig venues. Clarendon Ballroom, The Odeon, The Hammersmith Palais, The Red Cow.
Saw them at the Marquee many years ago. Great night and covered in beer and presumably other bodily fluids. Fantastic band.
Was that the night of The Poll Tax riots? Remember being chased down Charing Cross Road by the old Bill and missing the gig at The Marquee as the Police had shut off the area for hours, so I pissed off home. Saw them a year later though. Crazy times.
Lighten up everyone. It was just good fun.!!
I can't say I was a big fan but I appreciated what they were doing at the time. A couple of my mates though thought they walked on fucking water.
Well Gee. Now I wanta know them.
What happened to the macc lads??? They were the soundtrack to my teenage years.! Loved them

Saw them in 1988 at Wolverhampton Civic Hall. We were right at the front and it was raining gobs, then some toilet paper and at one point a toilet seat.
Reminds me a little of The Meatmen in how they sound. I wonder if Macc Lads influenced them?
Just saw the list of vids ya got and your music taste is awesome. You got a new sub.
Loved the Macc Lads ... lol, not something I could throw on in the car now though :D
Saw them in Bristol with Micky methane and Eddie Shite brilliant gig
Eddie Shit was their drummer with a fake tache
Loved his cover of the Gene Shitney classic, 24 hrs of toilet.
And here's me thinking it's too easy to offend people today.....
I still have an old cassette with "Fluffy Pup" on it some Brit gave me at an Airforce Base I played in a band at in the early 90's in Canada.
I was like " what the eff is this music?" lol.😅
Brilliant, fond memories, Gordon's revenge, hilarious.
They are still great live. Seen them few years ago at scotland calling

Strap Starmer to a chair and put him onstage at one of their shows. 😂
Love these lads! Reminds me of Dayglo Abortions, Random Killing and D.O.A. from 🇨🇦 started in the 80’ and still playing to this day.
Love dayglo haha
Watching from Greece.hi everybody.
Great video.never heard of them but they're amazing.
PUNKS NOT DEAD.
Great band from a great period long before PC Crap went on duty.
They were banned from America, who produced A.C & G.G.Allin.
Represented a certain demographic of young guys.I get it great front Man.
Seth Putnam would've loved these guys 👍
I doubt he would've got the British humour but if he did he definitely would have 😂
Banned from the US?! That's an accomplishment!😂😂
Unless you had a really good Indy record store you'd never find their records here. And even then it wasnt a guarantee. My friend had a tape sent to him and we all made copies.
Was listening to my macc ladds records last week.😂
