I remember we we're all sat round my girlfriends house, I suddenly stood up pointed to the TV and shouted "That's wattie"? I been looking for this clip for decades.
@@kookadams85 I agree, I think though, I grew up with this for their UK82 niche, they had 3 or 4 good records, probably their first 4. I love Let's Start a War...and Horror Epics but I think most output of these bands is seriously overrated and dated because they were VERY limited musically and lyrically. Still enjoy putting on some Exploited or GBH or similar of that era but I've moved way on, now mostly jazz. I can't understand people who cling to this music and image as they grow older. But I prefer punk bands from about 75 to 79 for their creativeness, individuality, and originality.
"Troops of Tomorrow" by The Exploited is a song that reflects the frustration and disillusionment of the youth, particularly those living in impoverished urban areas. The lyrics express a feeling of being trapped in a cycle of despair and a desire for change, even if it means resorting to drastic measures. The song suggests that the younger generation, the "troops of tomorrow," are aware of the challenges they face in the present day. They hang around today, playing tough music to cope with the tough times they experience. The phrase "hard time money" implies that their struggle for survival is directly connected to financial difficulty. The lyrics convey a sense of urgency and impatience, as the "troops of tomorrow" seek a new solution to their problems. However, their frustration has reached a breaking point, making them sick. This dissatisfaction stems from a lack of hope for a better future. The line "We ain't got a bright future, we bought it on the never never" suggests that their dreams and aspirations have been put on hold or abandoned due to their circumstances. The reference to being "city prisoners" highlights the feeling of being trapped within their urban environment, perhaps with limited opportunities for advancement or escape. Nevertheless, the song asserts that they are not willing to accept this fate indefinitely as they "ain't gonna live forever." In the final verse, the lyrics suggest a shift in attitude. The "troops of tomorrow" realize that dreaming alone won't bring about change. They feel compelled to take action, symbolized by the mention of picking up a gun. This can be interpreted metaphorically as a call to stand up against oppression or take control of their own destinies. Overall, "Troops of Tomorrow" reflects the frustration, hopelessness, and determination of a generation that feels marginalized and is ready to fight for a better future. The song serves as a rallying cry for those trapped in similar circumstances, urging them to unite and make a stand against the barriers that limit their potential.
This was before my time and I'm blown away. One minute I'm seeing Rick Parfitt co host Sky Fi with Lemmy, interviewing Joe Ellioit now I've seen Wattie being interviewed by Noel Edmunds. I wish I could've seen it all.
Same. I remember watching him on an outside broadcast of swap shop. He didn't know he was on camera and was screaming profanities at one of the crew. Horrible individual
Agreed, as a 1970s kid I always disliked Noel but have since had to reassess my opinion in light of the sleaze dredged up in the Saville and Harris revelations where it was clearly so easy for presenters to abuse their position of relative power. Old Noel, that I always disliked, appears to be one of the more decent guys from this period and you can't knock him for that. Rather a priggish middle-class man like Noel than a working class monster like Saville....
Im american i understand him but its cause of exposure to scots / british things and people. Sad to say but most Americans wouldn't understand his accent
The video for the song "U.S.A." starts off with an intro saying "And so... a Pandora's box of rejection and reaction was opened. Today, thousands carry on the greatest anti-movement of our age. Punk rock, the end of our dreams..." (UK/DK: A Film About Punks and Skinheads, 1982). After the intro, the band performs on a stage with Gary McCormack playing the bass guitar, Big John Duncan playing the electric guitar and Danny Heatley playing the drums. There are also occasionally clips of the band walking down the street in Scotland and are having a little fun before they walk in a building, possibly the building in which they are shown performing. A brief interview begins after the song, in which Wattie explains his views on why punk music was still flourishing (where he tells the interviewer "it never died!") and how the band struggled with their previous image as a fascist band as they used to wear Swastika armbands The use of the swastika was common in the late 70s as punks wanted to shock the older generation.
THE EXPLOITED released their second album somewhere around this time in 1982. Apart from its marvellous cover, which depicts "an Escape From New York vision of a desolated city where punk can express its essential nature of youth anarchy" (a highly revealing bit of blurb, that one), The Exploited's second album is undistinguished by any personal birthmarks. - Barney Hoskyns, New Musical Express, 26 June 1982 - the first LP we done in three and a half days and it cost six hundred pounds. It wasn't very good. - Big John, New Mania #6 1982
Hi i'm french, and The Exploited is my favourite band of punk rock, but my english is not good, i would like to understand what he is speaking. Is there anyone who could translate for me and what they say please? Thanks. OI! OI! OI!!
Wattie Buchan is a clear example of a Third Position thinker, but he doesn't understand that he is one because he doesn't have very solid cultural bases, however I approve of what he says. pacifists and isolationists and this does not mean being disarmed, on the contrary ! are the only ones who today oppose the purely mercantile logic of the globohomo. oil and war.

“It depends on what you’re doing” 😂😂😂😂
So young Wattie ! ❤
wattie say?
Kissey Kissey fish Kissey 🐟
Troops of Tomorrow is still one of the best hardcore albums ever made.
agree they had good producer cost of recording £50000
Punks not dead was their apex. Like 95% of all hardcore & oi bands that had 1 standalone l.p• 🎶
Death Before Dishonor is their best album imo. Love the gritty thrash riffs and nasty vocals.

@@plejadyreally £50000 ?
Awww they seem like such lovely polite boys…😊
Made me chuckle when Noel asks if they have problems with people being rudfe and aggressive - he clearly doesn't know Wattie.
I met Wattie back in the 80s, and he still remembers me 40 years later, by name. He's a damned good man.
Laughter because of HIV?
He's got a fierce rep but he's always been the gent when I've encountered him.
The girl behind Wattie also presented Nozin' Around
Saroj Nelson
Love Scottish people. My Dad is 1, which makes me half 1. ....but.....I love them all
half aswell
I thought it was hilarious when Noel asked Wattie how you manage to sleep at night with his mohawk.A Punk friendly moment there.
Absolutely brilliant,love the exploited.
Good old days...
when punk was the mainstream...
🤣🤣🤣👍
Exploited were never mainstream they just gate-crashed it
In 1983, when most still thought music was just what got played on the radio, they'd have been surprised that punk bands still existed.

I love that song there is a music video version i really like. You know its a cover though?

Troops of Tomorrow was a cover song by the Vibrators
It’s a cover, you sausage!!
Wattie - roxxxxoooorrrrr
Have to agree his jumper was pretty lush!
lush interesting word,is that the same as spewy?
Haha brilliant
🔥🔥🔥

Noel Edmonds still gives me nightmares he is everything I hate about the middle class.
Laughter - Noel Edmonds - deal or no deal - was very Good - secondly what one has to do to became like Noel Edmonds ?

Good band
You mean great don't you
I can't understand Wattie. And that is true to the closed captions either.
Thick!
I can't understand what he's saying..i guess that's why they call him Whattie? 👂
😁
You can't understand English?
Im american i understand him but its cause of exposure to scots / british things and people. Sad to say but most Americans wouldn't understand his accent
@@RemmySkye Scottish is British for starters and you proved once again Americans are thick!
@derekdykeman9160 tell every scotsman theyre british and they may investigate the thickness of your noggin.
Wattie always seems like a pretty approachable bloke. Can you imagine if John lydon was sat there instead. 😅
With John rotten lookalikes sat with him? I doubt it.
jumpers are for punk rockers

Andy Pitchless-Yet Con-flict are now touring with the Exploited.
They were wrong and they're friends with the Exploited now.
Hate to disappoint you but Wattie and Colin Jerwood are quite matey these days!
