The Damned - Disco Man 

the damned are the greatest Band in Punk and Rock History. Their Songs are all classic tunes. long live the damned.

I saw this line up at a little club in Long Beach, L.I. in the early '80s. Incredible show!

Do we all agree this is just made of severe AWESOME!!!

The reason for their longevity. They were good musicians/ showmen.

Paul Gray is a great bass player - without doubt the ultimate line up

My favourite era of The Damned was 1979-1982. Disco Man is simply a masterpiece that deserved so, so much more attention and chart recognition than it actually got. So many brilliant songs on MGE and the Black Album it is difficult to comprehend how they continually went under the radar. The Damned were the no 1 punk band and the fact that they are still going today is testament to how entertaining and brilliant they are. Here's to the 45th anniversary reunion gigs next year (2021) Gawd bless The Damned.💀☠👻👺

Love Paul Gray, love Dave, love rat love Capt, love everything from the Damned.

one of my fav Damned songs. :)

One of the greatest rock n' roll bands of all time.

Fantastic song from the one and only damned lads

blast from the past ,i loved the damned

i love this band

Vanian such a class act. Love this version of one of my fav Damned tunes.. They played this last couple of times I have seen them.. They are the cornerstone of the early punk..

My favorite era of The Damned.

My fav Damned song, its so DAMNED good ;)

one of the best bands but so underrated by the media, just another reason for ppl to make there own minds up about sounds sod the press :)

you nailed it everything was perfect - oh for those days again

The Damned - Vanian, Sensible, Scabies & PAUL GRAY!

Got my tickets for Newcastle 4th November next year... cannot wait.

I agree. The Black Album is their post-punk masterpiece, Strawberries is a close second. And some of that carried over into Phantasmagoria, which is also very good.

i love this song, so addictive!!

I first saw these true legends in May 1981

Very British - very very good🎩 Cheers from Norway!😎

i love the damned from machine gun thru strawberries- more than punk and a colorful bunch of lovely lunatics- god bless the damned!

The greatest punk band...the legend...I saw them in paris...I can die now...U2 is the poppy band...we miss you Rat...

best damned lineup by miles

Fantastic. :)

I love this song. Me and the other old tossers in my band are gonna trot this out at our next gig.

Bono couldn't tie Dave's shoes!!

Still going strong after all these years, 1977 to present.

Rat Scabies, a vastly underrated rock drummer, and built like a Sherman tank to pull it off.

Bono wishes he was THIS cool!!!

now that's the damned

1982. As far as i know, the first song they wrote and performed live after the Friday 13th EP was Gun Fury.

@richardnirvana Its on 'LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL' and 'THE LONG LOST WEEKEND' its also on the CD version of 'BEST OF THE DAMNED'

BONO stole everything from Dave Vanian!

Yeah they did- I watched them on their '81 'friday 13th' mini tour and I recorded it with little tape recorder in my jacket and they did Gun Fury.

Haha, on Damned videos there always seems to be arguments over peoples' images and who stole what from who. Would it be so hard to believe that more than one pair of sunglasses exists, or that white hair dye (not shown here I guess!) is available in different shops, etc? Haha.

Genial😊

@richardnirvana It was a single and also on a few of the way too numerous Damned compilations. Great tune though !!!

I'd like to thank all you bootleggers for giving me some of the funniest moments of my life. Part of the magic of this band was the things Sensible said on stage, and the umpteen different versions of Looking At You that got me into the guitar....CHEERS!

Yeah its 82', I remember dave growing his hair for strawberries tour.

this was when U2 rocked!

Hey look, seems we now know where Bono got his Zootopia look. Dave rulez. ;)

@ILiveOnMyBoat You speak the truth...... The ep was on NEMS for some reason - I have a feeling they went from stiff (DDD / MFP) to chiswick (MGE / Black album) to bronze (strawberries) then NEMS (the EP) and then onwards to gothdom elsewhere.... I have a feeling that bronze collapsed or was taken over

Out of England.. The Damned. Bless Germans

Pretty damnded good....

Around 81/82. Paul Gray on bass.

@RebelSpiritof77 yeah except no handlebar mustaches here hahaha

😍

jepa jee

Always wondered if Disco Man and Dozen Girls were about the same guy, and if he was a real life guy they all knew.

@sleepwalker3125 It isn't on Strawberries

Bono stole the look from Dave, Dave took it from Dracula...

What's Bono doing trying to impersonate Dave V.?????

This band is good. Too band when I try to tell my brothers they don't care because they like "Metallica" more. Like whatever dudes.

God damned!..

people talking about U2 ripping off the Damned - what about Spandau Ballet - Hadley admits they were his favourite band - listen to 'Gold' and close your eyes and imagine it's the Damned - go on.

How many people have ripped off Dave Vanian look, from Bono to johnny depp..

@nuttsack12 1982

Don't forget Roman!

Down the stairs, no-one cares - He who wins is he who dares - Rock n Roll, lose control - Just forget you're on the dole!!!

Sounds like a cross between The Groundhogs and Egg - know what I mean, Captain???

what year it this?

Paul & Lemmy ,you cant beat a Ricky !

Vanian looks like Bono in that vid!..

Maybe Bono Vox ripped off his looks lol

Who's the guy on keyboard?

Vanian gonna sue Bono for biting his style. Also - Rat was (is?) one hell of a drummer.

As Mr Milosit says Bono looks like Dave, and without Joy Division no U"

As Mr Milosit says Bono looks like Dave, and without Joy Division no U2

Incorrect. Bono looks like Vanian.

Well...,h-mm... it would be incorrect again to say u r not right.

Please do not gas this band, they are only having fun !!
