I can't understand how anyone could prefer the rather ordinary Glass Onion to the 3 minutes of pure joy that is Back In the USSR, I really can't.

I don't think Happiness Is a Warm Gun is one of their finest moments either but it seems like it's going to piss this. It starts so well then just goes a bit pear-shaped for me.

Now, now, I never said I wasn't keen. I just said shit got really interesting in 64.

Currently playing as I type this, "Don't Give Me No Lip Child" by Dave Berry. From 1964. :mrgreen:

Yep, was regularly on the jukebox in the first pub I ever frequented.

Don't Give Me No Lip, with its "pushing and shoving" section is probably responsible for the invention of the mosh pit via the Pistols cover when the audience took it as a cue to push and shove each other.

Nah moshing came well after the demise of the Pistols. From memory of going to gigs of the early UK punk bands I saw. It was pogoing which was great fun. Obviously there were punch ups sadly but moshing came later. Some of the most violent I ever witnessed was the Psychobilly band The Meteors. It was getting primal then and horrible. All the girls I knew were totally put off by all the macho bullshit. In the US it was definitely something that was part of the hardcore scene. Moshing was a load of shit really.
