Nah, quite a few used Ricky basses. Hooky in Joy Division, the early Clash tracks had a Ricky on them, Gaye Advert had one when she got a bit of money, Generation X bloke used one, Radiator From Space, the list goes on most probably. 🙂

this song is simply fantastic. From a bloke approaching 45, it makes me feel like seventeen. Thanks for posting this song and making me feel so young!!!!

Great tune, great band, possibly the best of the pub/punk scene. Here’s something really depressing tho’, the first time I saw them was in Atlanta in 1978 and they were
opening for Tim Curry on his ” I Do The Rock” tour.

Lemmy & Bruce Foxton of The Jam used RICK basses back then.. Great sound.

Timeless punk anthem. Not difficult to detect a Rolling Stones influence, of all things.

remember hearing this first on Tiswas – totally changed my life…was going to do a degree in solid state physics/chemistry at Wales uni – decided instead (based on the lyrics of this song) to do electronics at Brunel – proper universities mind not the the artfices of today.

Dear oh dear I dont remember Barry being in the Bay City Rollers! I do remember the great bass playing tho, only this bloke and the bassist in Yes ever used rickenbackers.

after all these years this song is a classic teenage anarchy anthem,driving my car playing it loud, makes my skeleton wanna burst out of my skin.

Barry is still touring with a “new” group of Hot Rods.

Where are they now?
ghdtreb · August 4, 2011 at 5:58 am
Seems to me The Strokes were influenced by these guys

Saw this band in oxford in 77 on the strength of this song. They were supported by Squeeze. Was 16. Goes down as one of my life’s highlights.

Check out Spirit In The Sky ,too
the Norman Greenbaum version though.

Jerk, this was genuine, I saw them in Bristol within not long after seeing Llynyrd Skynrd and Genesis – all great in their own way. This is as classic as Freebird or Suppers Ready.
