The Exploited

[Bever]

I loved them when I was a ruffty tuffty punker way back then.
I wore an Exploited t - shirt for PE !

 

Do you still wear it at School now you are Teacher

That shirt died many years before I stopped wearing it ! More holes than shirt.

I wore a Damned polo shirt on Sport Relief Day.
 

I'm wearing mine on the picture on my driver's license. Epic picture combined with my hair style. I was 18 back then. 20 years ago... More holes than shirt now, but I never throw away shirts.

 Pol, the bands you were talking about are excellent. I have Antipasti and Chron-Gen records. As well as Exploited too.

Big John is quite interesting person. You Scotts should know the Gin Goblins? Excellent horror punk band. A bit excellent
Btw, how was it what happened to  Bog John later on

Big John's had a few bands post Exploited, Blood Uncles were really good, then Goodbye Mr Mackenzie (also featuring one Shirley Manson pre-Garbage), and Gin Goblins as mentioned above. He now lives in Amsterdam and works at the Melkweg. He's recently guested on a Steve Aoki single "The Kids Will Have Their Say", and a single by Man Lifting Banner "Capitalist Pig Attacked By Reds". He also played one gig on guitar with Nirvana, but decided not to join them full time (He was Kurt's guitar tech).

i like them in the beginning. as a young lad. then they became some kind of clowns..........in my opinion

[Isaac(Black Eagle Rising)]

I respect them.Exploited is a great band.I still love their music.More honest than many other bands.Makes me remember my hard days when I was young.Punks not Dead,Troops Of Tomorrow,Death Before Dishonour,Horror Epics,Beat The Bastards are my favorites.

i was at a record fair in aberdeen up in scotland, early teens, and one of the sellers was playing "attack" b/w "alternative" - bought it on the spot, 7" vinyl.

I was staying over the weekend at my cousin's in Brussels for the weekend. He was out trying to make mends with his girl. I must have been 14 years old or so. Went out to the Fnac in the center. Came across this piece of vinyl:
