A great little 15 minute video of the legendary Plasmatics doing their thang back in '79 on New York's Pier 62. You've probably seen this on You Tube already,but just in case,here it is anyway.
Warning: In the unlikely event that you own a large expensive car,dangerous explosives and have a pier in your back garden that leads into a very large river,do NOT try the stunt at the end of this clip!
I haven't brought this yet but I'm going to soon I think so if you want to see more of The Plasmatics nip over to http://www.plasmatics.com/ and buy the DVD with over 3 hours of what looks like great footage. Anyone out there confirm this is well worth the dosh? And no,I won't be sharing it when I get it before anyone asks!
*Edit* I've just brought it on ebay off some American geezer. I'll probably get it next year if at all but at least it was only 12 quid.

Always nice to see Wendy thanx Longy
Thanks Longy, I lost this one when my hard drive fucked up so its great to get it back
Cheers topper and vulture. I see pinky and perky have wielded the axe on our favourite son at your gaff vulture. Poor old Zola.
Zola didn't stand a chance with the crap he had to work with !!
Its a shame really, as i liked the guy but thats football for you.
I was yapping to my mate who is a Hammers fan on the train on Sunday and he said Zola's got to go because "He's too Chelsea" So I asked him if he wanted rid of Carlton Cole and you can guess the answer.
I hope we employ Zola to coach our kids. The man is absolute class.
Awesome.
Thanks!
This band was so good, I love their music, and Wendy was one of a kind. Definately the greatest fake punk band of all time!
Your welcome schiz
i saw wendy and company back in 1980 at a small club in nyc. for the finale she pulled out a shotgun and aimed it at the audience. we figured it was a prop, until she raised it and blew a hole in the ceiling.
That doesn't sound too fake does it!
no it doesn't. rest in peace wendy, the best tits in rock n roll!
Hi Longy,
Many thanks for this. I remember way back when we went to see the band at the Hammersmith Odeon (first U.K. tour), and as we got out of the tube station and turned the corner we saw a massive sign on the Odeon saying the show had been cancelled!!
If I remember rightly, I think the local Council took offence to the fact the band were going to blow up a car on stage!!
Now that's what ya call ROCK n' Roll !!!
Indeed Nazz!
+ cheers Bruce. Thats Rock 'n' Roll alright.
Alright! GOT this from another 'source'.. & the file was f@c#ed-up!! During ONE Of Richie's SOLOS.. NO LESS!! SURELY documents A (TOBE) GREAT BAND ON THE RISE!looking forward to "finally!" making it ALL the way through!! FANKX Longy!
