Admit your shit

I met him a couple of years ago at a Conflict gig in Sheffield....he's an odd fucker - he came across as some sort of a football hooligan/casual - and I think he was dealing coke to the bands.  I also met hime years ago [86] me and my mate went to his mum's house for some reason....I had no idea till recently he was a Neo nazi

can you scan it Graham?

he used to go out with moderately well-known antipodean tattoist Kiwi Kim, who nicked all his records when they split up, then years later she sold them for pennies to a record shop in Sydney. My mate went in by chance just as they went on sale and got himself a DYS Brotherhood, SSD Kids Will Have Their Say and at least a dozen other ultra-rarities, most of them still sealed, for about A$100 in total (ie bugger all!). Just deserts for the big nazzy, you'd have to say!

I read the AYS section in that "Day The Country Died" book & had no idea he was/is a Nazi. He's good mates with Colin from Conflict & actually shared a flat with him. Strange that Colin wouldn't know of his - errmmm - "tendencies."

And a great book it is too!

AYS were hardcore more than anything else I think. If you read the insert of their 7" he does come across a little intolerant.
I'm sure Colin Jerwood must have known what he was like. Colin probably has a lot of friends who are erm, how do you put it - dodgy. Then again, Conflict was a militant animal rights band with a drummer who ate meat. (doh!!!!)

"were" being the key word there then Russ - saw Conflict a few years back, they were beyond dreadful, really really bad, and people started to leave venue really quickly into their set...and then, to make matters worse, Colin whimpers in the fucking microphone, to not just mine but the horror of the whole crowd no doubt, "no one likes Conflict anymore...." One of the most embarrassing cringeworthy things I've ever seen.

By now I'd actually be surprised to hear anything good about 'Conflict' - and yeah supposed 'anarchists' being 'scary as fuck' is hardly an endorsement. I have heard some stories about them behaving like violent thugs when playing the Dutch squats back in the day - people who's opinion I trust and who are still around and who are hardly gossips - only have bad things to say about that lot.

Anyway. AYS. That bit in "the day the country died" was interesting, even if the stories about him being a nazi were known to me, but as Graham points out I guess, there could have been a bit more digging in what that actually means for him...

Via a third party i was asked to re-release the AYS 7" as John knew a friend of mine (who was unaware of him being a nazi) and said i could do it and he was into doing new artwork for it. I had his number and was meant to meet up with him but it never happened mainly down to me being skint. I`m pretty chuffed i was broke for once.

As for conflict - great lyrics rest of it i`m unsure of. Then again same for Dead Kennedys. have you ever met Jello. total self indulgent twat.

not sure about this slagging of old punks - some youngsters about act like total cocks now and may get worse. Sometimes you only hear the bad stuff as is more visible and dare i say it, interesting? I work with a few old punkers from the 70s and 80`s who are dead nice but totally faded from the scene.....i`m getting into the old category and i`m not right eing obsessed just yet....:)

This is a really bad habit of mines, I will stay out of your way!
