For me, Punk Rock is all about dealing with things honestly with no pretentions, or pretentiousness, it's about giving the establishment the "two-fingered salute", it's about living life, it's about speaking your mind and not being afraid to speak your mind, it's also about standing up for what you believe in.
Naw, it’s about conforming with the rest of the punk movement and saying the ‘right’ things to fit in with the group think. John Lydon and Animal are exceptions but the vast majority of these guys hold identical opinions about matters which disappointingly are the same views trumpeted by global corporations.
@@wattage2007 Yes and thank you. That's why I'm not a punker. I'm not hardcore, either. I'm passionate about, and enjoy the music and the live performances. Or I don't. It's all about the song, the music, the band & show and how I feel when it's happening. Second in importance is any positive life change I might experience resulting from this music, and the history of the music (which I'm fascinated with). Kevin Seconds of the awesome band 7 Seconds said it well in the song New Wind; "I'm not a punker, I'm just a human being with an urge to exercise what's in my heart and mind."
Recently see Anti nowhere league in Southampton . My best mate is a substitute drummer in a band called kid clumsy so went along with my son and did some lifting and shifting . Got to meet Animal and what a total gent he is and the band was super tight on stage . Despite chilling backstage and recently rested after the gig Animsl was good enough to take a pic with my son as we had to leave to catch a train back . Hope Animal carry’s on till he’s 100 a true legend
Seeing them in dublin 83 he kick A punk in the head at the front of the stage well he was drag of stage and got a kicking for it, they never came back to dublin after it
@@Xrp944 you're lying, it was you that got the kicking. people are still talking about how you bottled it. i am not even going to start on winchcombe... 🤯
@@ErinMicklow Absolutely! I have a lot of respect for these guys keeping the same energy after all these years, the League is the real deal! You also did a great job, just great energy and charisma all around, i love it. Thank YOU!
Loved the early line up pj drums, magoo guitar,and winston bass, i respect them allways great band and songs im 49,anti drugs don't mind a few beers,but nicks right hes matured lots but great to see him still going love the pistols seen them times live and big collector seen adam ant live 6 times and a collector, never seen anti nowere league yet, but one day hopefully i have a collection as well,im going to see uk subs,chelsea,and ten pole tudor 2 weeks time all on the se tour, nicks a legend keeping going 10 years or longer hes a big strong geezer respect.
Now you're talkin now you're doing some real interviews not with no corporate. Punk rockers now you're interviewing Real Punk's now you're talkin this is the videos I want to see
That's what I'm talking about my friend keep it real you're going to be Punk be real don't follow the crowd I myself don't do drugs I don't smoke and I don't drink straight-edge punk I go to shows and I skank and I love it
To meet my friend you're not part of the furniture you're as old as I am and I'm in my late 40s I'm in the second wave of the ska Punk movement and you are awesome as hell my friend and the realest Punk ever cheers to you and all the fellow English punks and Ska punks
Also annoying to hear her just nod and say Yay..and not offer any insight whatsoever. If she has a writer...she needs a new one. Otherwise I don't see this "career" going much further. I know that may seem harsh, but just being 100. She could have some potential under the right direction.
Animal.is a top bloke....massive respect to him and the league...sorry to hear of him being glassed by some twat recently..and I hope the fucker who did it gets sorted very soon for his cowardly attack...
The best punk bands are in England and Europe that's where the real punk bands are awesome hard and strong and very political I love it and anti-government anti-media anti-mainstream as I am I'm very very proud to be Punk ska Punk that is
@@jladams85when it comes to punk the Ramones are way down the list. Americans don't understand the class difference and that is what punk is all about!!!
I agree with that guy the most punk rockers like myself are in England and Europe I'm proud to be a black European Punk ska in America that catching up but they're still slow

Punk is thoroughly pretentious.

@@FireOvRenewal Keith Morris and Jello Biafra know all about that subject
Anti Nowhere League and Toy Dolls are still my favourite punk bands.
I believe both Animal and Olga will be killing it on stage until they die. ❤️❤️
Legend animal. Your music is still loved today. And the lyrics 👏👏🇬🇧🇬🇧🤘
Great Band! Well Done! The old Punk Rock Will Never Die!
I hope it will someday.
Yep, that's cause the old Punk Rock still has the A-1 Punk attitude.
One of my fav punk albums of all time the League debut.... Wall to wall bangers
Listen to it daily
road to rampton was better
@joeconnolly89ugh, Im afraid that’s an incorrect answer and rules are rules so we have to take your first reply. Sorry lil buddy…😢
WE ARE THE LEAGUE!

Really interesting hearing Animal talking like this , sounds so down to earth 👍
Man I love despite being an "animal" he STILL has manners and respect. As seen @ 3:12 . Such a stand-up guy. 🤘😎
punk rocks going to live forever ,long live the league
God, I love this guy! Probably the best interview Erin ever did.
Saw these guys support the Damned '79/80, they got bottled by the crowd, but they stood and played, fair play.
Seeing them in dublin 83 he kick A punk in the head at the front of the stage well he was drag of stage and got a kicking for it, they never came back to dublin after it

I expected him to have a deeper voice. First interview I've ever seen with Animal. First time Ive ever heard him talk. Only heard him sing.

That Interviewer's hair.. WOW!!
He seems like a really easy interview or guy to talk to in general.
That's what I'm talking about my friend keep it real you're going to be Punk be real don't follow the crowd I myself don't do drugs I don't smoke and I don't drink straight-edge punk I go to shows and I skank and I love it

Erin in an Adicts shirt in front of Animal... that's a thumbs up in itself, aside from this being an awesome interview! ❤️
Saw them live supported the Damned in 1980 in shrewsbury
The Greatest Punk Rock Swindle
Anti nowwhere league rocks I love that band 🤘
....i had a chat with him a fw years ago after a gig in yorkshire - turns out he's loaded
Funny you should say that,I remember hearing back in the 1980`s that he is from quite a wealthy middle class family.
What boots is she wearing ? Are they Solovair ?
Will Hopkins their grip fast boots
Time Traveller Can you time travel somewhere and fuck off!!! JK
Excelente vídeo y buen contenido.
I still blast Anti Nowhere League. Fucking glorious.
Amo a los ANTI NOWHERE LEAGE N MEXICO HUBO UN PROGRAMA DE PUNK "CON LOS PELOS DE
Never seen a sea urchin give an interview before. Lol good video!
love this guy, kept me rockin through alot of uncretain times. anti nowhere league 4 ever thanks Nick!!!
I think the gear kicked in as the interview started.
Erin you are the bomb 💣 Top geezer ol' Nick
I'd rather see old people having fun instead of sitting around waiting for the vicar
Awesome
He actually seems to be relaxed, based, nice, well articulate guy. Not what i would have exected from his stage personality.
Madre mía...como para ir a un oficina.
God what I would do to see them here in Florida
Cool costume there, Erin.
Nick Chalmers aka Animal is an awesome dude.
I would be more apt to watch more of her vids and subscribe, if it didn't seem like she was exactly what H20 was talking about...
Also annoying to hear her just nod and say Yay..and not offer any insight whatsoever. If she has a writer...she needs a new one. Otherwise I don't see this "career" going much further. I know that may seem harsh, but just being 100. She could have some potential under the right direction.
This man tells the truth.
I would have Loved to have seen Lemmy and Animal in a room together
Rare Animal!
New to the channel. I enjoy your interviews
Fucking legend that one
Long live punk!
Punk rock lives and dies by the league.
Great vid and interview!! Erin you do a great job! :)
Animal.is a top bloke....massive respect to him and the league...sorry to hear of him being glassed by some twat recently..and I hope the fucker who did it gets sorted very soon for his cowardly attack...
I fucking love Animal ❤
RIP animal
The best punk bands are in England and Europe that's where the real punk bands are awesome hard and strong and very political I love it and anti-government anti-media anti-mainstream as I am I'm very very proud to be Punk ska Punk that is
So what.
B.s cuz No English band ever came close to the Ramones! 🇱🇷
@@jladams85 Disagree with you, my friend. I don't want The Ramones. Look more like a rock band not a punk band.
@@skapunkoialternativeliving6522 same thing, ya dolt.
@@jladams85when it comes to punk the Ramones are way down the list. Americans don't understand the class difference and that is what punk is all about!!!
When Nik ain't in is band he's building walls round Kent , that's why he's so fit for is age , great guy ....
🖤🖤🖤
@Captain Brandon Horror Lover oh thank you! Hell ya! Fiend club 4 life! 🤘💀👍
I agree with that guy the most punk rockers like myself are in England and Europe I'm proud to be a black European Punk ska in America that catching up but they're still slow
Don't get too close to animals Erin, rumors have it they bite!!! ;-)
Old school never died
She says “yeah” a LOT!!!!
He mentions punk a lot, but when I first saw them back in 1981 they hated punks. They were seen as a bikers band.
I saw these before they had a record out in the80s they blew the damned away,who were headlining
Qué opinas de Pedro Sánchez jajaja.. no se confíen del punk español
I saw the ANL in 1981 supporting the Damned. Have to confess I didn't approve of them. Seems like a piece of history now.
Best of luck to Shady
My two favorite Punk bands, the Sex Pistols and these guys.
League and GBH here
The League and The Damned for me.
🎼
Love this anti nowhere league animal ledgends
WTF he burped and said excuse me he’s going soft
hes a property developer,punk rocks his hobby
Ya....ya...
A dirty legend and a…something
Zi, todo e mafavillozo.

So fukin what
She should've talked about the unfortunate era of his career.
got told this band was a racist band,i fucking lolz so hard
Oi! Oi! Oi!

That is all it is.
"I do not analyze other peoples Punkrock, they do their thing.." - makes agressive Song against how Homosexuals and Trans-People are accepted in society/the scene.
Am I the only one who subscribes to this because she looks fit, apart from the hair.
She persists despite the hatred within " punk " snobs. Cheers to Erin. 🍻🖤
Da ve she looks like a transsexual to me
Yes
you play in a POP band , far away from punk .
A list of what you deem to be proper punk bands please...
