January 1st 1978 - 1.30am - Come in after New Year's Eve party, spiky hair literally frozen by the blizzard outside, pissed off and cold. Old Grey Whistle Test is on TV.......and by now they play Punk. This comes on. Fantastic. Forgot my frozen self and decided to buy a guitar as soon as possible.

The essence of it is quite simple, Punk spanned the years from 1974 to 1978. Was a term given by the British media to my generation as the inconsequential generation, we didn't matter, we finished college to find whole industries had been shut down with mass unemployment. The first British Punk band was The Stranglers (1974 - ) It always makes me laugh when people who weren't even there profess to know more than those who lived it, especially those not born for another 20 plus years.

Jett Black. Tell 'em. They do not know the influence. An American, I lived In Holland from 76-78 and was in the midst of the punk influence for quite a while and as being 58 years old still listen to and love the bands from those times. They had a lot to bring to the table.....

Superb video. THE most under-rated of the first generation of punk bands. If these sessions had been commercially available in 77/78 (MTV etc) this band would have been up there with the Clash and the other 'big name' bands. Nick Cash's vocals are superb, some timeless singles and album tracks and in the day a fantastic live show. I saw them supporting the Runaways in Nov 77 and headlining their own tour in 78 and many times since. Tis one of life's great mysteries why 999 weren't massive.

The album that this is from is a proper 'forgotten classic' . Can't understand why it's so underrated. Great video, with all the energy and attitude that you could possibly want. Anyone starting a guitar band could do a lot worse than just getting hold of '999' by '999' and learning it! Bass, drums, guitar, vocals - Bloody marvellous!

Sacré bon petit groupe, 999 ! Et qui savait écrire de vraies chansons. Les compos sont toujours enlevées, concises, jamais chiantes. Jusqu'à leur sixième album, pas grand chose à jeter (à part peut être le cinquième, le raté "13Th Floor Madness"). Je reviens pour ma part souvent à "The Biggest Prize In Sport" (1980).

Punk Rock and Punk are two separate entities. "Punk" was about the ethos. Even Hippies was involved in Punk and Punk Rock. The lyrics here say a great deal for the ethos not just of the punks but very much of the time. The music was a product of what was going on inside the youth; a manifestation and reflection of the ethos. But only a part of it. It has left a legacy that is just as strong today ;)

I'd forgotten just how good this song is, great drum pattern to keep you listening, and then three hooks combined in the chorus - the descending arpeggio guitar chords, the instantly memorable rhyme of the line 'back in full attack', and the harmony to 'never give in until they crack' - to pull you right in! Fab stuff.

@Random5able I agree-and that's because punk rock is just stripped down rock n roll. One of the key differences between punk and other rock genres-especially metal and classic rock-is that punk is about the song, not about a bunch of "musicians" showboating or endless aimless solos that only pot heads can enjoy. it's like what Billy Idol said in that one Generation X song "a good musician is a disease, I'm gonna do what I want, play what I please."

Even early 80s hard core punk rockers like around the time of Discharge and GBH became a little identikit punk., though the music was great. I know coz I was there.
