Im fed up with this Specials stuff already.. Looks like a few bands from 1979 will be playing live again next year as Mod bands The Purple Hearts and Sta-Press have also reformed. My band might even be supporting The Purple Hearts at a North East date. Could this mean another Mod/Ska Revival?

ive been reading these forums now for about 4 months and thought it was about time to express an opinion, i for one am a bit disapointed at some of the b.u..t..t kissing going on with some people begging and pleading for early tickets and backstage passes,,,, pathetic behavior,,, when the specials were fist around some of us were to young to be allowed to gigs and now we have the chance after 28 odd years to finally see something that some of us thought would never happen, some of us have been into this band from the start, i will always remember the 1st time i ever heard gangsters, back in 79 as a kid sitting in his dads car ironically at a set of traffic lights on the COVENTRY ROAD just by the swan island.. so give some of us a break, wait for them to be on sale,, dont go out and buy 20 odd tickets, most of which will be on ebay and be selfish. stop thinking your roddys best mate, when your not,, asking for freebies and last but not least enjoy this for what it is, a great band, playing great music, that last statement also applies to the members of the band aswell. mr concrete Where did i say i was Roddy's best mate you sarcastic Bone Idle Dog Breath. Also i never asked for freebie, i asked if there was an outlet that he might put us onto where we could get tickets early. GET OVER YOURSELF YOU MORON.

GET OVER YOURSELF YOU MORON. mr.concrete. you waited 4 months to express your opinions. But instead of expressing any topics that deals with the Skabilly Rebels. You chose to voice yourself on matter of the Specials. There is a specials community page to voice yourself there. As for a-s-s kissing. Being kind and asking for info is not the case. Oldtimer, you must get tickets and tell me all about it when you do see the Specials because I will be envious that you got to see Roddy. How's that for a-s-s kissing.....

in response to the above posts, i dont recall mentioning anybodys name or attacking any individual, so for someone to take what i said as a personal attack and respond by making a personal attack on me i find bizarre, as for waiting 4 months i didnt see the point in writing anything untill the reunion was confirmed and dates arranged, which is now the case, and as for writing here and not in the specials group, i do believe this topic is called tours and therefore i assume its about the forthcoming specials tour, and the other post i wrote about mr dammers was in the reunion topic, which i also assume is about,,,,,, wait for it,,,,,,, the specials, so by having a go at me for writing about the specials in this web site you are also having go at everybody else that has contributed to theses forums.... writing about,,,, guess what.. the specials, and considering the people who read this also read the specials site and vica versa, i dont think it really matters where i write, im not here for an arguement im here because i enjoy the music of the specials and each of the individual projects and have supported such, with my hard earnt cash by buying records and gig tickets, as many others have also, and correct me if im wrong but mr byers himself has written in one of the topics,, that he is dissapointed with people who havnt supported these individual projects. at the end of the day i have as much right as anybody to an opinion and if u dont agree ,,,,so be it.
mr concrete
ps/ i found the insult bone idol dog breath rather amusing......

Don't get me wrong deary. You can post till your hearts content. The thing is you go on mentioning about a-s-s kissing. Like you said no names mentioning but then why bring it up? We all support Roddy or The Specials, The Skabilly Rebels, The Tearjerkers, The Bonediggers and so on. That is why we are all on here. No insults intended. Just stating the facts.

how about the skabillys supporting on the dates, then you are putting out your new material to people who only turn up for the specials? chance to blow the headliners offstage as well ;-)
