  1. That first clip with the Taxing coming at you... and then it goes by on the tight. Terrifying. And then I remember its a UK video...

  4. I was living in Scarborogh, had a green and white Daytona, probably the best Triumph ive ever had and it was a hot summer. We ought to start a "where were you when ?" feature.

  5. Spedding was also part of John Cale's band in the mid 70's. Definitely the most deranged live act I came across in the pre punk era. I was 16 at the time.

  6. Hi Paul, good to hear from you. Didn't realise that Spedding played with Cale. I listened to the link,it reminds me a lot of The Birthday Party and Nick cave kind of stuff. I love punk but the stuff just before it that spawned it is just as fascinating..
