ok ..... be warned ... I'm no bassplayer, and I have no idea how Algy Ward played that bassline, but I gave it a shot anyway, in good punk tradition .....

This is my favorite punk tune, probably because I'm a sucker for a good melody and this one actually has one !!!

This is nearly unplugged, I had to cave inn on the bass because I had no chance of coming close to what I wanted to play without hearing the bass properly. Rest is unplugged.

2 basses
1 unplugged electric guitar
1 acoustic guuitar
1 thigh
1 belly
1 cupboard door
2 voices

recorded a sleepless nigh
vox and acoustic recorded in the car with -15C outside

cheers

Great job Geir, one of my fave Damned songs ever (and I saw them playing it live back in November last year :-) ). Really captured the spirit of the song and loved the abrupt ending. Pretty close on the bass too, well done. You need to sing more in the cold.....

Cheers,

Nigel

I had to listen to this one twice in a row. Fantastic performance!! And the bass was truly awesome. That intro really kicked a**!

Love it!

Peace,

Here's to you Geir!  I have sleepless nights, but I am not dedicated to going out and sitting in my car and playing when its' that cold!!  I would call that almost insanity.   LOL
Another great one from you.  You are so creative!!

What do you mean, 'I'm no bassist'?
This ROCKS! Great bass! You ARE a bassist.
Great cover.

I too was not familiar with the original, so I looked it up. I have to say I liked your version MUCH better G. That was pretty bad ass!
