'Y...Oh, absolutely agree about the early stuff. 'Your Generation' was one of the first singles I bought and I played it to death...and was so excited (well, I was 14 and they had all the right qualities - both punky and nice to look at!) when I heard they were to be playing at my local venue in Spring 1978... Only to be bitterly disappointed on turning up that night to find out they'd pulled out due to Derwood being injured (thing he'd been bottled or something at a previous gig?) and were replaced by the Jolt! Not quite the same... <br />Remember too watching them do 'King Rocker' on TOTP and my gran was round, while I was enthusing madly over them - especially Derwood - she just said, "shame he looks so scruffy, he could do with a decent haircut.." Oh happy days.Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02423624920558505937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248139855347807926.post-60530553603081023592011-08-19T10:49:58.629+01:002011-08-19T10:49:58.629+01:00Oh dear... to be honest I can't stand White We...Oh dear... to be honest I can't stand White Wedding it is one of those songs I've heard way too many times over the years...Furtheronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11903753972242964410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248139855347807926.post-81282589970319806832011-08-19T10:35:57.542+01:002011-08-19T10:35:57.542+01:00Woah, that sounded pretty dismal.

One of my friends was with him when a load of marauding skins stormed the dressing room at one of the old venues, demanding blood. Billy Idol apparently cowed under the sink screaming "not the face, not the face", which I suppose isn't hard to understand. It's one of those stories that sounds apocryphal, but is absolutely true.Kolley Kibberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07055145770836351738noreply@blogger.com
