11mar2011 – Experiencing Heroes pt. XVIII

Finally they were back again in Frankfurt as meanwhile every year since
1999, the famous and ever glorious UK Subs!

You all know, that their influences moved and motivated bands like us,
Henry Rollins Band, Guns’n’ Roses, Nirvana, Die Toten Hosen and who
ever else on this planet….!

And believe me they haven’t lost anything…. I saw them first in 1981 in
Hamburg performing with the famous 2nd classic line-up with Charlie,
Nicky, Alvin and Steven…. and us here on the Continent/Germany, we
are ultra-happy welcoming nearly the same line-up with only Jamie, the
better choice(!), on drums.

Every year I bring my friends to them and all of them they now understand,
why the UK Subs mean some much to me and the likes like Henry Rollins!
…and look at young RJ, already fully UK Subs addicted, heavily pogoing
to the meanwhile beyond Ramones-status classics like ‘Rocker’, Tomorrows
Girls’, Endagered Species’, ‘Ice Age’, ‘Emotinal Blackmail’, ‘Warhead’ or
‘Limo Life’ ….you say think I have forgotten to mention ‘Stranglehold’? Why
should I forget it as everybody knows it is their ‘Yesterday’ of the Beatles.
….and look at the fans, again here similar to our friends of Killing Joke, you
will find so many young kids, especially girlies, you really wonder, aren’t
there other youger bands around, which could attract…’no, they say the
Original being authentic to the last second, being guys really down to
earth, that’s the real thing!’

So, I massively urge you to attend next year’s show sometime between
January and March 2012 and you will be impacted and happy to have
experienced body and soul treatment with full satisfaction!

P.S. Alvin looking foreward for the next chat about our pashion, the
bass guitar…..
