The "Is she really goin' out with him" reference is more based on the Shangri-Las' 1964 hit "leader of the pack". "New Rose" predates the Joe Jackson song by three years.
I must have been a late adopter. Neat Neat Neat was my first Damned single, but New Rose was on the New Wave sampler album that I bought later. Heady days.
Just realised I was 16 when this came out and blew me away! I loved punk from that moment on. I'm so glad that I was in the right place at the right time!
Captain Sensibles drumming on this is awesome and the way Rat Scabies really punches through with that Fender Stratocaster hes playing is something else, big thumbs up from me :)
Top 3 of the Punk bands live , Dave Vanian has to be one of the best frontmen and Sensible has became a brilliant guitarist , first Punk single, first to edge into Punk Goth, they are brilliant live
Check out "the Black Album" or "Strawberries",both brilliant albums.New Model Army would be an interesting band to do.Poison Street, or Green and Grey would be a good start
They actually beat Joe Jackson to the opening line by a couple of years. This is 1976. The first UK Punk Single. They're actually referencing the "Is She Really Going Out With Him" at the beginning of Great Big Kiss" by the Shangri Las (1964). The Damned were one of the most fun bands of the era imo. Nothing overtly political and the combination of members was so wild (you had the rocker Johnny Thunderish look in guitarist Brian James, the goofball in Captain Sensible, the gothic singer in Dave Vanian and all backed by the most Keith Moon style drummer of the punk era (Rat Scabies). They all look like they shouldn't be in the same band, but it somehow worked. Fun reaction channel! Keep it up! Cheers!
@@ethoscommunicationsolution5305 holy shit you're totally right.. brain freeze. Was thinking "New York Dolls - Looking for a Kiss". Thanks for the correction!
New Rose predates Joe Jackson. This is the first recognised UK punk single from 1976. Original guitarist Brian James wrote most of the first album including this.
"Is she really going out with him?" Is the first line in the Shangri-Las classic, "Leader of the Pack". For more Damned goodness, do yourselves a favour and give a listen to "Smash It Up, Parts 1 & 2".
@@hanierfamily Joe Jackson said in his autobiography ''A Cure For Gravity'' that his song was inspired by the opening line of ''New Rose'' by The Damned. He regularly attended punk gigs during and after the time he was in a band called Arms And Legs, wore a jacket that read ''no shit'' and felt that punk rock opened a door for him. He got Arms And Legs bassist Graham Maby and brought him along into his solo venture.
The Damned, as it was said some while back, that they were the first punk band signed. I don't know for sure if this is true but they are still one of my favorite bands of all time. They did it right.
When I first saw a picture of the Damned my thought was, "THESE ARE MY PEOPLE!. Punk saved my life. Respect to you for discovering it now though. Interesting to hear what your initial reaction to them was.
Yep ! Saw these load of Herberts on their First UK tour ! Very Loud , Ears rang for 2 days couldnt hear much from our school teachers ! Not that was ever a problem ! They went very Gothy after 2 Albums ! Great times !
You two lovelies are on a roll today, reacting to two of my all-time favourite bands within only about an hour (The other band being Rush) 😁👍 Admittedly, I do like their later stuff even better that was more New Wave than Punk, but they've always had a great sense of humour, and it's so cool they're still active today, sometimes even still playing shows in their original line-up 😊 And if you decide to listen to some more stuff by The Damned one day, I'd suggest 'Stranger On The Town' 😊
To us kids in 77 in the UK the Damned were part of the big 4 punk groups: Pistols, Stranglers and Clash. By the way, Jones, Cook and Strummer used to frequent the Stranglers gigs in 75. I have seen the Damned a few times over the years - ranging from brilliance to the most violent gig i have ever attended. Captain Sensible is a great guy and i love the single he released on the CRASS label written with Penny Rimbaud.
💥🦇🎸🥀 One of my all time fav groups. I got to meet them and they are not "rock stars" they are real people! Respectful but strong minded🤘🏴☠️ Diy punk anarchy and Medicare for ALL!!✌️⚖️📢
They did some great punk songs in their early days, this in my opinion being the best. Neat, Neat Neat is also of the same ilk ( fast and furious ) other good ones were Stretcher Case and the more poppy Love Song. Great band live back in the day. Still doing the rounds on and off.
Seeing these guys perform Nasty on The Young Ones back in the mid eighties changed my life. I teach guitar and bass now, and they're largely responsible. The Damned, the New York Dolls, The Stooges, Mott the Hoople and The Cult. That's when I decided I needed to learn guitar to compete with all the dorks who wanted to be Eddie Van Halen and Randi Rhoads. Of course, then I discovered Mojo Nixon and things started getting weird. Anyway, nice clip.
This is Genesis … where it all began for punk . I dont care if some old geezer can produce evidence to the contrary… this generally accepted in the uk as the beginning of punk as we know it , and what a beginning !!! 👍🏴
Still sounds great today. Can't say anything interesting about this song except it's great! Always been great! The Damned's 80's stuff is also worth checking out. Some of it takes a bit of getting used to. It took me a while to even like ''Grimly Fiendish'' from 1985 and ''Anything'' (which I think is a Goth Rock classic)... Try: 999 - I'm Alive Just when I thought I'd hold back on throwing in requests and suggestions, here I go again: The Saints - (I'm) Stranded nzoz1977 The Saints - Lipstick On Your Collar nzoz1977 The Saints - Know Your Product nzoz1978 The Saints - Ghost Ships nzoz1984 The Saints - Just Like Fire Would - Official Video - 4K Remaster Austech Stranded - Issued in September 1976, a month before The Damned's New Rose. Know Your Prodct - Two choices of same video - 6 years ago has more oomph - don't cut out The Saints' dry introduction to the song. Ghost Ships - Not a punk song at all. The Saints were now just Chris Bailey and other musicians to fill in where the original Saints members left off Fire Would - Bruce Springsteen covered this song on one of his recentish albums) Radio Birdman - Aloha Steve & Danno nzoz1977 Radio Birdman - Burn My Eye nzoz1977 Radio Birdman - New Race nzoz1977 Midnight Oil - Used And Abused nzoz1978 Midnight Oil - Back On The Borderline nzoz1980 Midnight Oil - Don't Wanna Be The One nzoz1981 The Saints formed in 1973, issued this single in September 1976, the UK EMI pressured Australia's EMI to sign The Saints after (I'm) Stranded became successful in England. They weren't punk, but proto-punk. The Saints' Chris Bailey referred to Radio Birdman as the local chapter of Hitler Youth. It wasn't deserved. New Race isn't a fascist song.. it's about youth being a new race that's separate from previous generations. Midnight Oil weren't a punk band, but they sort of played like one and had as much energy as a punk band.
WOW! Bro, that list is the soundtrack of my life!!!! Are you Australian? I'm from Brisbane, but I now live in Melbourne... I would love the Hanier Family to do a reaction to I'm Stranded and Aloha Steve & Danno and New Race. Yeah, hup!
Hi greedings from Germany.. My brother took this record in 1979...together with,, Clash, Sods, and Stranglers.... We starte as,, Punk! So try some modern German Independent music.. :"Broilers - harter Weg" ".... Or... :" Jennifer Rostock - KBAG "*.... Get 6-7 German beer, to help to understand 😁
Love that classic stutter riff which used to catch me off guard on the first couple of listens. Also, the very first punk single for what it's worth. Love it. As i do The Lotus Eaters beautifully melodic 'The First Picture Of You'. I'm a persistent kind of guy, so i shan't give up until you give it a spin! Keep up the good work, and please give it a go! 😉
not to put too fine of a point to it and rain on everybody's parade but being in england just before punk exploded, I remember The Saints doing this with Stranded in September and then New Rose in October in 76. I had to check some backpages to confirm if my memory is correct. i bought the stranded single on the strength of reviews in the papers, was blown away and then the damned and sex pistols followed a month or two later. Damned on Stiff, Sex Pistols on EMI, Saints on Fatal records (The Saints own DIY release on their own label)... don't want to fight anybody over history but i was there and that's how it fell in place.
Traditionally, it's generally accepted, the first three Punk records are, The Ramones debut album(April 76), The Damned with the first single(Oct 76) and The Saints album, Stranded(Sept 76). It would be interesting to see reactions to some of these, The Saints are a criminally under valued band, and did some tremendous stuff... And I'd like to see some Ramones, simply because I'm the biggest Ramones fan on the planet.
No …. is she really going out with him was a reference to the shangri las Leader of the pack. Joe Jackson admitted he’d heard the line in this song and used it in his later hit 👍🏴
I was only about 7 when punk really took off - and coming from England it took off in a much bigger way than it ever did in the USA - yet I never heard and punk music at the time. I didn't get into it until much later. One band I found much much later were Stiff Little Fingers, from Northern Ireland. They have the same sort of energy in their songs that The Damned had in this one. I'll recommend "Suspect Device", and this is probably the best version on TH-cam th-cam.com/video/PJRZ-s6Lq-o/w-d-xo.html from a live show a few years back. Older, they may be, but the most certainly can still play. I think you'll like it.
The Damned I don't think featured in 76/77....I might be wrong but their first appearance on totp wasn't until 79...and by that time punk rock was over and new wave was in....
The intro is referring to Leader of the Pack by The Shangri-las. Joe Jackson hadn't released his song by then. PS. th-cam.com/video/Q8UKf65NOzM/w-d-xo.html
I got a couple of requests. The Tourists - I Only Want To Be With You I don't know if The Tourists ever reached Canada, but they did reach Australia with their cover of the Dusty Springfield song. The band toured Australia, and split up when they were done with the country. You might recognise a couple of members. and now a question and suggestion. Are you guys open to watching a short interview and song performance on Countdown? My friends and I were at the taping of Countdown when Iggy Pop was on the show. He quite generously threw spittle our way. Didn't get me. There was a bit of commotion during that taping and we all hated Iggy Pop that night. lol. Not sure if you guys are strict on a song only policy, or if you are open for 4 and half video with interview and performance. Countdown: Iggy Pop interview and 'I'm Bored' studio performance (1979)
LOL We know the Samantha Fox version and The Bay City Rollers versions of I Only Want To Be With You, but we haven't heard The Tourists do it. We added it to the list as well as your Iggy Pop request. Thanks
@@hanierfamily watch the entire interview and performance of Iggy Pop on countdown. It's one of the highlites of Countdown history. He was horrible, and he really upset us Countdown kids. You can hear us going ''ugh'' during I'm Bored. Iggy thought he'd give us a sprinkle. I also saw The Tourists doing Countdown, and they didn't seem like happy campers when the cameras were off. The band split as soon as they got on the plane to leave Oz. Two members went on to bigger things. You'd recognise them. I hope you don't find out who they are prior to watching the video, and I hope nobody drops a comment giving it away.
@@hanierfamily i like The Tourists version more than Dusty's, and i won't even comment on the other two artists. I got to see the tourists live in Sydney and they were crap. thankfully a couple of them moved on to bigger things, as liveitup had stated.
@@liveitup67 Sorry to say it LiveItUp, but I was one out of many punks that was laughing at Iggy Pop's shenanigans on Countdown. I also got to see The Tourists live in Sydney and they were not good. not surprising they split up as soon as they returend to england. lots of style no substance.. thankfully a couple of them employed some substance with the style and got to own the charts for the rest of the decade.
@@DogInSpace ha ha, a lot of people thought it was funny. That appearance had been replayed on Rage and Countdown specials through out the years. I've watched all the ''Countdown'' specials and that Iggy Pop one still makes me sick. The thing is, my friends and I did feel violated by seeing this man (who I had not heard of at that point) behaving that way, and then spitting on us. It really shocked us because at that age (we were just 10/11 years old) we did not expect a performer to spit at us like that. We did see Countdown as being like a youth centre where the producers had a duty of care. I mean, Countdown was like a place you go to after school or on weekends. I did see girls grab the legs of musicians and performers, and I saw hands poking and gropping below the belt, but having that idiot spit on us like that was horrible. there were a lot of upset kids after he walked off the stage.
Useless factoid: Smash It Up (Part 1) was written by Captain Sensible as a tribute to one of his musical idols...the late great Marc Bolan. Also The Damned toured with T. Rex on their final Dandy In The Underworld tour in early 1977, six months before Marc Bolan was killed in a car crash.
Glad you liked this manic sound. I loved punk as a teenager in the 70's for the radical drum and guitar sound. I wasn't interested in the scene just loved the sound. Being a science, rail and aviation geek I didn't fit in to punk or goth or any scene. Well the geek scene but we didn't have scenes. Oh music geek also. Hanier's rocking the tube once again.
That is the first punk rock single ever released. The Damned were in it from the beginning with bands like the Clash, Sex pistols, the Stranglers, Buzzcocks
So daves vocals weren't great? You need to hear other songs by the damned. As one critic said and i agree with daves vocals are the most melodic of not just punk but most singers. Check out their song Eloise.
Kia ora hello my friends hay I've seen the DAMMED 3 time's and the last time i walked out after about 4 songs Captain sensible was a complete jerk i got outside and most of my friends who were there had beat me to it and for the same reason i can't stand in front of any musician who thinks they are better than the punters and their poo don't stink it's supposed to be all for one and one for all . If they don't understand that without us they're just having a jam and without them we are standing around looking at our feet wondering what to do when they forget that I'm not interested in them at all i haven't listened to suicidal tendencies since 2012 the last time i saw them and will never listen to them again and i was a fanatical fan from 1985-2012
The third punk band after Iggy and the Ramones….love the Damned…..not anywhere near the posers the Pistols were…….New Rose was about Punk…they knew they had a New Rose….a new sound and genre…..they were recorded before the Sex Pistols……the pistols were nowhere near the 1st punk band

honestly, know more, first UK punk single, before the Sex Pistols and The Clash. Out on Stiff records.
One of the best British Punk bands , still going strong. The Damned could actually play their instruments
Try Babylon Is Burning by the Ruts
staring at the rude boys as well bud 👍
I'd definitely listen to the various stages of The Damned. They didn't really have any bad songs, but I suspect some will say otherwise.
You'll be happy to know they got a new album, "Darkadelic, coming out in April! The first single/video "invisible man" is out now on TH-cam...
Check out "the Black Album" or "Strawberries",both brilliant albums.New Model Army would be an interesting band to do.Poison Street, or Green and Grey would be a good start

The intro is referring to Leader of the Pack by The Shangri-las.
Joe Jackson hadn't released his song by then.

I got a couple of requests.
The Tourists - I Only Want To Be With You
I don't know if The Tourists ever reached Canada, but they did reach Australia with their cover of the Dusty Springfield song. The band toured Australia, and split up when they were done with the country. You might recognise a couple of members.
and now a question and suggestion. Are you guys open to watching a short interview and song performance on Countdown? My friends and I were at the taping of Countdown when Iggy Pop was on the show. He quite generously threw spittle our way. Didn't get me. There was a bit of commotion during that taping and we all hated Iggy Pop that night. lol. Not sure if you guys are strict on a song only policy, or if you are open for 4 and half video with interview and performance.
Countdown: Iggy Pop interview and 'I'm Bored' studio performance (1979)
LOL We know the Samantha Fox version and The Bay City Rollers versions of I Only Want To Be With You, but we haven't heard The Tourists do it. We added it to the list as well as your Iggy Pop request. Thanks
@@hanierfamily watch the entire interview and performance of Iggy Pop on countdown. It's one of the highlites of Countdown history. He was horrible, and he really upset us Countdown kids. You can hear us going ''ugh'' during I'm Bored. Iggy thought he'd give us a sprinkle. I also saw The Tourists doing Countdown, and they didn't seem like happy campers when the cameras were off. The band split as soon as they got on the plane to leave Oz. Two members went on to bigger things. You'd recognise them. I hope you don't find out who they are prior to watching the video, and I hope nobody drops a comment giving it away.
@@hanierfamily i like The Tourists version more than Dusty's, and i won't even comment on the other two artists. I got to see the tourists live in Sydney and they were crap. thankfully a couple of them moved on to bigger things, as liveitup had stated.
@@liveitup67 Sorry to say it LiveItUp, but I was one out of many punks that was laughing at Iggy Pop's shenanigans on Countdown. I also got to see The Tourists live in Sydney and they were not good. not surprising they split up as soon as they returend to england. lots of style no substance.. thankfully a couple of them employed some substance with the style and got to own the charts for the rest of the decade.
@@DogInSpace ha ha, a lot of people thought it was funny. That appearance had been replayed on Rage and Countdown specials through out the years. I've watched all the ''Countdown'' specials and that Iggy Pop one still makes me sick. The thing is, my friends and I did feel violated by seeing this man (who I had not heard of at that point) behaving that way, and then spitting on us. It really shocked us because at that age (we were just 10/11 years old) we did not expect a performer to spit at us like that. We did see Countdown as being like a youth centre where the producers had a duty of care. I mean, Countdown was like a place you go to after school or on weekends. I did see girls grab the legs of musicians and performers, and I saw hands poking and gropping below the belt, but having that idiot spit on us like that was horrible. there were a lot of upset kids after he walked off the stage.
Still gets the hairs on the back of my neck up!!
Check out The Undertones, My Perfect Cousin. A great punk band from Ireland
Rock n roll 101....
The Black album is worth a listen very prod rocky
Weird eh MC5 et al and the Damned got it down the first or is that just the UK. First punk single I ever bought 'appen.
Not influenced by the Sex Pistols at all. This was the the first punk single ever released in Oct 76. Way before Joe Jackson too.
just saying .... IMO The Damned are great
This is neat....neat....neat.
Oh Lord you see where Marilyn Manson came from (bless her) Happy talk from Captain sensible is always amusing with his happy c***
A reaction to Billy Joel falling of the rain
B4 the sex pistols 1976.
Dammed Dammed Dammed! :) x
Please review Smash It Up Parts 1 & 2 by The Damned. Thank you.
Useless factoid: Smash It Up (Part 1) was written by Captain Sensible as a tribute to one of his musical idols...the late great Marc Bolan.
Also The Damned toured with T. Rex on their final Dandy In The Underworld tour in early 1977, six months before Marc Bolan was killed in a car crash.
Next you guys should react to Ignite,if you haven't already.
They were the first punk band on major label great sounds and influenced guns and roses because they played there music
Glad you liked this manic sound. I loved punk as a teenager in the 70's for the radical drum and guitar sound. I wasn't interested in the scene just loved the sound. Being a science, rail and aviation geek I didn't fit in to punk or goth or any scene. Well the geek scene but we didn't have scenes. Oh music geek also. Hanier's rocking the tube once again.
I've been a music geek since I (Chris) was 9.
Your wife is utterly adorable. Is that weird to say? Probably
Mr Sensible .
WOT ! 😆 🤣
This song was way before "is she really going out with him" by Joe Jackson. Doh.
That is the first punk rock single ever released. The Damned were in it from the beginning with bands like the Clash, Sex pistols, the Stranglers, Buzzcocks
What about ruby Tuesday rolling stones but I think Melanie's version better
One of the best Punk tracks of all time.
In 79 Dammed drummer ripped out me ear ring at a gig on the Isle of White . Funny as feck! Was well happy tha scabies ruined me ear...hahaha...bless x
grimly fiendish
So daves vocals weren't great? You need to hear other songs by the damned. As one critic said and i agree with daves vocals are the most melodic of not just punk but most singers. Check out their song Eloise.
To us Brits this was the first Punk Anthem. Excuse me His voice isn't good have a word with yourself.
Kia ora hello my friends hay I've seen the DAMMED 3 time's and the last time i walked out after about 4 songs Captain sensible was a complete jerk i got outside and most of my friends who were there had beat me to it and for the same reason i can't stand in front of any musician who thinks they are better than the punters and their poo don't stink it's supposed to be all for one and one for all . If they don't understand that without us they're just having a jam and without them we are standing around looking at our feet wondering what to do when they forget that I'm not interested in them at all i haven't listened to suicidal tendencies since 2012 the last time i saw them and will never listen to them again and i was a fanatical fan from 1985-2012
The third punk band after Iggy and the Ramones….love the Damned…..not anywhere near the posers the Pistols were…….New Rose was about Punk…they knew they had a New Rose….a new sound and genre…..they were recorded before the Sex Pistols……the pistols were nowhere near the 1st punk band
