Re: Oi

The "ambient" Burzum album's are not just the worst ambient albums ever but the worst written music to ever be released. Go and get yourself Hvis Lyset Tar Oss.

Oh and of course I don't pay for music.

Re: Oi

I find sexy gay skinhead pictures pretty funny, too.

Nick, point about chubby Chris taken, but I'm still never going to be a Combat 84 fan.
I think you're a cool guy and you know yer stuff historywise.
As for fascist imagery, some images have been irreversibly hijacked by historic events. Take the swastika, an ancient Hindu symbol of love or something like that. The nazis used it (reversed) and now it's become a universally recognized symbol of fascism. It's changed, it will never be the same again in the western world. Same with skinheads. The nazis influenced large parts of the skinhead movent, now most people will see a skin and think nazi. I suspect one of the reasons your history is so good is that you are used to defending yourself in that respect.

How did i know you play 'poser'? I 'ear fings in the street, mate.
What do you think of Infa Riot? Oi? Skinhead band or no?

Sinister, whoever drew that gig poster is plainly psychotic, and the finer points of political debate have obviously been wasted on them. Pretty funny, tho!

Re: Oi

The swastika was originally the sanskrit symbol for good luck and wellbeing.

Re: Oi

Oi Oi people

evillin-bo, to be honest i wasn't a Combat 84 fan for a long time cos i thought they were dodgy, but after seeing the documentary and listening to their album i changed me mind. Id rather listen to them than Condemned 84 who do benefits for fascists in Italy but who still say they are 'non political.' In a way im glad Combat84 split when they did, leaving only one classic oi album in all its youthful glory. They did reform a couple of years back without Chubby Chris but it wasn't a patch on the old stuff - too metally for me.

Id say Infa Riot were Oi cos they were on the Oi compilations and part of that scene. You dont have to be a skin band to be Oi, look at Blitz or The Partisans.

I would take a stab in the dark and say your informer is...

James from Anarchoi fanzine? we were talking about that cover, and he's seen us do it twice now..?

Grym, that pishy Burzum ep reminded me of the instrumental bits on the fucking excellent Morbid Angel album i used to have when i was about 13 or 14... i downloaded it and am reliving my youth! So cheers, i am minus three streetpunk points now...

I used to have it on a C90 cassette with Peter and The Test Tube Babies on the other side... weird mix now you think of it. I used to be right into Sepultura, Cannibal Corpse, Deicide and all that brutality as well as punk, but at the end of the day by the time i was 18 I opted for rioting and Reclaim The Streets parties instead of sitting about with black candles smoking dope like some of my mates! I never got black metal; the closest was seeing Immortal support Morbid Angel at the Garage (1995ish) and everyone was shouting 'shagged your maw' and stuff, and laughing at these corpse painted guys who were trying to be 'evil'...! it was all pretty new back then and no-one could take them seriously. Funnily enough United Front's singer Kev was also at that gig with hair down to his arse before I knew him!

So theres hope for you yet

Re: Oi

You're not the only one with a dubious past involving Morbid Angel. I saw them on the Grindcrusher tour in '89 and again at the Mayfair in '91, and I even had long hair at the time! HAhaha.

There was a hardcore/thrash metal crossover thing going on then, so there were some amazing shows in Glasgow like DRI + Dark Angel and Crumbsuckers + Onslaught. Good times!

I bet you say that to all the boys. I've posted my Bon Jovi lookalike pics before and still haven't recovered from the shame.

Nick - Haha, yeah, it's amazing when you go back and listen to some of that stuff and wonder WTF you ever saw in it... still listen to some metal though, Slayer, DBC, Sacred Reich (not a Nazi band, before ms. bo starts on that shit again ), Nuclear assault etc. are just way too good to ever grow out of.

Re: Oi

Slade are the original Oi band!

Well maybe not. I don't mind 'em one way or the other, but i think they looked ridiculous even when they were skinheads..! That whole 70's skinhead thing looked weird - flared jeans with turnups, and thick braces with stripy shirts - NOOO!!! Check out the cover artwork to Judge Dread's 'Bring Back The Skins' album - shocking stuff.

But of course a lot of the older skinheads loved all that stuff - The Oppressed cover a few of their tunes, they put out a single of Slade covers - The Noize EP. I am also one of the privileged few to see Roddy Moreno and Steve Floyd performing 'Shang-A-Lang' by the Bay City Rollers backstage before a gig! It fucking rocked!
