Long before there was a recognized gothic look, there were fans turning up at [Damned] shows dressed like Dave – which was brilliant at the time, because it lifted us right out of the typical punk rock band thing. Other groups had the safety pins and the spitting and the bondage trousers, but you went to a Damned show, and half the local cemetery would be propped up against the stage.

When Motörhead started the Pistols started and The Damned were playing. I remember talking to Brian James in the Earl Of Lonsdale on Portobello Road - he was walking about in a long overcoat, scruffy as fuck like; no bread, nothing - he said, ‘I’ve just started this band called The Damned’, and I was saying good luck and all that, patted him on the back and bought him a drink. Everybody was fuckin’ broke. That’s why they invented all them gimmicks with their clothes, because they were broke - it didn’t cost nothing to buy a few safety pins.
