Macc Lads Documentary Voice 

Some British soldiers once stopped me and my mates crossing the border to Northern Ireland (early 90's) during the bad years. One accidentaly shoved my cassette in to my car stereo during the search. I had the lads from macc. They all started jumping around the road dancing and playing air guitar on their rifles. It was great cos all my mates started dancing with them too. It was a very funny moment in a dark time.

First heard The Macc Lads when I was in the Army in 1988 in a barracks in Driffield North Yorkshire when the guy in the next bedspace to me put on a 'Beer and sex and chips and gravy' cassette. We were all packing our kit up to move to another barracks but one by one we stopped what we were doing and listened to the lyrics which were hilarious. It was like "Did he really just say you're a fooking coont?" and "Did he just rhyme George Michael with Menstrual cycle?" Great times, great band.

This needs to be a full length documentary. They were a much maligned and damn entertaining bunch of lads.

The Macc Lads were genius. Maybe the world needs them now more than ever.

Sang part of Fluffy Pup to my wife today for the first time, who, was nagging the hell out of me..............then out of the blue she starts singing the chorus back at me and I fell over laughing. The best part is im 50 and wifey is 34 (YEAH go me) and she knew about The Macc lads and she doesn't originally come from the UK (Far East) hahaha. So Fluffy Pup has surmounted the generational gap :d

I'm from Buenos Aires and love the Lads. There, I said it.

people thought they were a joke band. But their music was beautiful.

In 1985, I had a school mate who just moved down from Oldham Manchester. His older brother went off to Nottingham University and left all his LPs behind. Amongst them was BEER AND SEX AND CHIPS AND GRAVY. My life was never the same after that. RIP Boddingtons Ale. You are sadly missed.

What the Macc Lads did was make the audience an integral part of any of their gigs. Right oh most of the time we were throwing beer at them and telling them to fuck off but you weren’t just singing along to the songs you were part of the gig. It was and they were brilliant.

I love how Mutley now looks like your favourite uncle

It was the best music for driving down a busy high street when your a teenager with a loud stereo! Happy days.....

Fookin Hoofin , grew up wit the Macc Lads ,seen them many times in Stoke . Legends . Long Live Macc.

My mother introduced me to some fantastic bands including a lot of punk metal and of course the Macc lads. Whilst my school mates were listening to public enemy in the common room I put fluffy pup on. Everyone loved it, people howling and even teachers couldn't help but laugh. Thank fuck for those days, cant say shit now, cant even smoke a menthal cig. World's gone potty. Newcy brown all round you crazy bastards.

Love the Macc Lads. Revisiting the albums - genius.

I did shitloads of Macc lads tattoos back in the day. Loved 'em !.

Hahaha! Unbelievable, the Macc Lads are STILL going! Fun Punk for the irredeemably drunk! \o/

Love it! Still listen to 'em at work now

sound of my youth

Brilliant Band!!!! Saw them twice in 90 and 91,yes brilliant!!

They’re legends I love the macc lads

One of the best live gigs I've ever been to was the Macc Lads in Birmingham maybe 5 years ago. Fantastic atmosphere, and bringing back some great memories of when I was a kid listening to a many times copied C60 tape!

love the Macc Lads. Heard them when I was a young teen back in the 80's. still have their albums now.

When he said they were banned from the US (so much for their self-proclaimed 'land of the free' tripe) it was supposed to be for a one-off gig in Boston where I was living at the time. Me and the other small handful of expats - most of them southerners - were gutted when it fell through.

Love this band!

I borrowed one of their albums 30 years ago, and i still have it..brilliantly funny.

Intelligent guys who like a beer. Loved their music at the time, but it was an obvious persona to persuade a possibly less intelligent fan base into a thinking they were the same as their stage personas, and a very successful one. Great rock band live, was at the Live in Leeds gig, accomplished players.

Thanks for this posting and props to the film makers. I saw the laughs but when I went to see them live I realised others didn't.

I was 14 when I first heard The Mac Lads. Just effin’ loved ‘em, and jeezo they were a big help getting through teenage school days. I still love “ Boddies “ to this day! ;-)

Son of the beater produced and directed and edited.

My uncle's girlfriend is from Macc and she knows who Charlotte is, she said a lot of people do, as the lyrics suggest!

Given the times we live in I'm surprised Operation Yewtree hasn't been extended to make an example of the Macc Lads.

Friend of mine was a huge fan and once stood next to Muttley in the urinals and turned to him and said I love your music etc and not to be rude Muttley turned to him and p*ssed on his shoes. He came out and said guess what just happened. I think he thought it was an autograph. He dragged me around a few places and one memorable place was Shelley's at Longton. The locals at the time were always looking for a ruck and we we were always happy to reach Longton station.

Funny how posh they sound....it's as if they were playing characters in a band

There back And I have seen them Awesome

enjoyed this. whish they would reform banning them from venues was maybe a bit OTT. pub looks nice one to try out when I'm in macclesfield

Best Band Ever

Just noticed your a son of The Macc's well done for making an excellent documentary. I heard them first as a school boy and even then I think I realised it was a joke. It was to silly not to be.

Too short. Now they are on tour I want to see more.

Didnt know Jeremy Irons was in the Macc Lads ?

the macc lads were AWESOME!!

Spoke to a Macc Lass today when I rang NSandI she used to work at the Nags her name was Debbie. Very helpful she was. She lives in Blackpool now.

they will always be one of my all time top 20 bands :) eh up let's sup :)

I saw them in Morecambe in the late 80’s. Was carnage lol 😂

Seems they went down a storm with the Armed Forces. I went to see them at Notts Rock City. I was in the RAF then.

Love the Macc Lads

Muttley now masquerading as Peter Shilton. "Call that a shot you arse bandeet, i could save that with me mutton dagger"

Brilliant band..

Is the longer version out of the pipeline yet? Macc Lads rules

One of the best bands of that time ..funny as fu## .music and lyrics were bloody great .saw em many times and had a great night every time .. they brought punx, skinheads .bikers ,rockers and most types of people together at their gigs .shows they had that something that most folk liked ..a good night out ,,and something to laugh at ..even the lasses liked em ..

Still listening 2024

These guys are heroes

Idolise these guys!

The Beater drinking Lager? Lol!

Mutley has turned into John Inverdale....

They were better off being an 80's band and with Viz at it's pomp, the 90 's wouldn't have done them any favours I don't think, they made all the fans they could in the majority, fucking brilliant band

Smelt of rotting fish eds And old and crispy sick 😂

I'm a big pooftah from America, and even I have to love the Macc Lads... "Two Stroke Eddie" still makes me laugh after all these years... "He didn't even get up no quim"... Fecking brilliant... As far as slags go, Charlotte has a Geordie rival named Deirdre, but you can't really put Toy Dolls and Macc Lads on the same ship... Or can you? 🤔 🤣❤️

@3:00 don't know why this made me laugh so hard

I think these times call for a reunion and a new album

Lady Muck is always on my mind.

EY UP, WE'RE THE MACC LADS!!

Watching this while supping ale

Heeeyyyyy Maccy Maccy.... Maccy Maccy Maccy Maccy Macclesfield!

Love um

Me and a bunch of my buddies where ready to go never happened back in the 90s then early 2000s and even more recent I think covid 19 or something stopped the last tour

He's right if they came out in the 90s they would have had a number 1 recored. Think Chubby Brown Alice etc...

Posh lads.. Tristan & Geoff.

'Relentless irony'

Fathers day more cards most virile man

Was 'Muttley'' his real name? Me and my mates used to listen to the Macc Lads a bit back in the day.
