Machine Gun Etiquette

Product Information

Or ...*"Nibbled to death ..by an Okapi" i think. Or you don't think it's a good lp? , maybe you should be " Nibbled to Death .."??... its certainly one of their best & a .great return for the 4th/5th??? line up..& the Capt showing himself to be a very capable guitarist & Algy laying down some super deep bass runs - the high point of 'Antipope' .it would have been good for 'Liar' to have the full blown drum workout as heard on the Peel session ,but it could have been regarded as 'a joke' ..that the band certainly were not - 'serious fun' ,I think .

The Damned - Machine Gun Etiquette Lyrics and Tracklist - Genius

Some great punk songs & some more ambitious songs but they're all relentless with hardly a gap between them, except for outbreaks of Monty Python style humour (the line at the top was from the Hitch Hikers Guide To The Galaxy and was on the runout groove of side 2 of the vinyl version and so repeated over and over until you took the needle off). It is a very 'British' sounding album, cancel that, it's a very English album!

Issued in November 1979, “Machine Gun Etiquette” was more than a valediction. A thrilling, wild ride, it took in hyper-speed, guitar-driven pop, psychedelic pop and surreal pop songs drawing from the girl’s comic Bunty and Vanian’s fascination with Hollywood and horror. Pop, though, was what the album was about. Tunes. Whether with the hard-edged anthem ‘Noise, Noise, Noise’ (featuring members of the Clash on vocals; they were recording “London Calling” at the same studio booked by the Damned), the kinetic ‘Liar’ or the astonishing, atmospheric ‘Plan 9 Channel 7’, this new Damned prioritised melody. a b Robbins, Ira (15 March 1991).

As The Damned made "Machine Gun Etiquette," The Clash were in the studio next door putting the finishing touches on "London Calling," but while The Clash looked to America for inspiration, The Damned remained resolutely British; eccentric, exciting, and barking mad.Coleman, Mark (1992).

The Damned - Machine Gun Etiquette | Releases | Discogs

The Damned didn’t care about definitions, which is why their classic third album sounds as fresh now as it did in 1979. Available again on vinyl. Great band. Thank you for posting this. However you seem to have missed their 1984 release under their alter ego Naz Nomad and the Nightmares called 'Give Daddy The knife Cindy'. Its a great garage / psych cover album that's well worth including. Vote up content that is on-topic, within the rules/guidelines, and will likely stay relevant long-term. Shooman, Joe (October 2007). "The Damned – Machine Gun Etiquette". Record Collector. No.341 . Retrieved 3 June 2013. By this point in The Damned’s history, the line-up had changed from their first two albums, “Damned Damned Damned” and “Music for Pleasure”(1977). Brian James left the group, and was replaced on guitar by Captain Sensible, and Algy Ward of The Saints took Sensible’s place on bass. Sensible also played keyboard on the album.

The production is poor as befits similar punk albums of the time but it sounds dirty and messy, which gives it its charm. I discovered The Damned by way of the cassettes my brother left in my room for safe keeping while he was away in the Peace Corps. I was at that age where I was looking for something loud and rebellious so it would seem a band called The Damned would scratch the itch. Needless to say it wasn’t nearly as dark and offensive as I had hoped but it was terribly catchy. Time went on and I started to collect as many Damned releases as I could get my hands on (witch was quite a bit) but the only ones I listened to with any regularity were _Damned Damned Damned_ and _Machine Gun Etiquette_ (ok, _Light at the End of The Tunnel_ got a lot of play as well). _Machine Gun Etiquette_ is quite simply the best Pop Punk album ever made, just barely topping _Singles Going Steady_ which isn’t a true album so there ya are, the best. To this day I slap this disc on and sing along with every word, pretending like I’m 15 and in my bedroom pissed off at my mom about something or another.
