The YouTube page for “Gangsters” has a note mentioning that it’s the band’s first television appearance since 1981. If that’s even remotely true–how huge of a coup did Jools Holland pull with that one?
All I have as a point of reference are the band’s recordings… but they sound just as on the mark now as they did then.
Very nice.
NOBODY HATES….SPECIALS!!!
Beautiful. Yeah they’re old – but so is everyone like me who remembers them as the only band that mattered.
I was 11 in 1979 & they clued me & millions more in to The Attitude, The Tunes, The Look, The Politics… The Fucking Lot.
They sound great, and they deserve this victory lap and I just hope Jerry can see a way to fuck the beef & prove what unity is really about.

BERNIE RHODES KNOWS…………. DON’T ARGUE
the specials where the band of thier time if irt was not for them you would have no music of any type from 1980 onwards
/hyperbole
I doubt they had little influence on Slayer… except for that one song they did, “Easy Skankin’ Satan.”
