Machine Gun Etiquette

Product Information

There's still the quirkiness (ahem, 'These Hands') that hints the band might end up heading in a very different direction in the near future, though nothing is overtly 'gothic' at this stage - just a hint of the perverse in a similar fashion to say, The Doors.

The Damned – Machine Gun Etiquette Lyrics | Genius Lyrics

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. Issued with a B&W illustrated card inner sleeve which has rounded corners and a wide die cut thumb section to the top opening. For this silver anniversary edition of MGE I have added all of the single B-sides none of which were on the original LP. Also there are alternative versions of all three A-sides and finally the video clip for Plan 9, Channel 7. It is such a complete album that I didn't want to clutter it up with demos and out-takes. Maybe they'll appear elsewhere someday.This album was the bridge from the bands early 'punk' days to their more creative and commercial eighties phase. The album features multiple guest musicians. Lemmy plays bass on the band's take on The Sweet's " Ballroom Blitz", which was not on the album at time of release but released as a single; the song was also added to the reissued version of the album. Joe Strummer and Paul Simonon also appear on the album, which showcases cover versions of songs by MC5. The album also features sometime Pink Floyd lyricist Anthony Moore on synthesiser. Philip Lloyd-Smee contributed to the sleeve and logo design work on Machine Gun Etiquette. Love Song charted and two Top of The Pops appearances ensued, but then Smash It Up was banned by the Beeb for fear of inciting revolution. I Just Can't Be Happy restored the balance a bit, and produced another TOTP appearance, but some momentum had been lost and so it was time to move on: but more of that next year.

energetic, aggressive, male vocalist, rebellious, raw, anti-religious, anthemic, melodic, boastful, passionate, lo-fi, repetitive Use italics (lyric) and bold (lyric) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part This is the punk band per excellence and probably the best quality one. With this LP they revealed themselves as "something more" than a punk band with the ability to give their compositions a more elaborate musical touch than the Sex Pistols or the Ramones themselves. 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. Vote up content that is on-topic, within the rules/guidelines, and will likely stay relevant long-term.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.
