TS: Discharge 'Hear Nothing See Nothing Say Nothing' vs Crass 'Yes Sir I Will'

I got a recent remastered CD version of HNSNSN a while ago, it just blasts like fuck from start to finish.

Penis Envy & Feeding of the 5000 are my Crass picks. Then Christ The Album, Yes Sir I Will & Stations of the Crass in that order.

Not that Crass weren't important, but . .

This is the only Discharge thread :(

So I got a ticket to see the UK Subs on Friday and Discharge is the support band! Now that's an unexpected bonus. Is Rat from the Varukers still singing for them? Has anyone seen them since they reunited? I haven't even listened to the album they put out a few years ago.

Discharge is one of those bands I've never gotten around to. Is there some kind of semi-comprehensive anthology I can grab?

Everything decent they did is collected on 2 CD's, so just get one of them, and if you like it, get the other one. Those being:

Why (includes 1st 3 EPs + debut mini-album)
Hear Nothing See Nothing Say Nothing (with some more singles tacked on)

Does either one of those have "Free Speech for the Dumb"?

Yes, the 2nd one.

Rah

I just found some 2CD anthology (only 76 minutes of music, so could easily have fit on a single disc) called Free Speech For The Dumb. It has 40 songs, and from everything I've read they only ever wrote one, so this should do me.

Yeah looking at it that is basically the 2 CDs I mentioned above with the songs shuffled around a bit.

Discharge, in this case.

Discharge were a little disappointing, for a start it was nowhere near loud enough, and they stood dead still on stage apart from Rat who at least tried a bit. It was OK but considering it was fucking Discharge and all, just seemed a bit limp.

UK Subs were fucking amazing though, so it's not just because they're old.

I have to say thank you to this thread. I'd heard of Discharge before but (being prejudicial old me) I saw their photos and saw the hair and the leather and flinched at the mental visions of Rancid that conjured up.

But I've finally heard 'Hear Nothing See Nothing Say Nothing' for the first time, and it's bloody fucking amazing. Startlingly so, in a 'how can I have never heard this before?' way. So thanks again.

Spending today shuffling through all the EPs and singles through "The More I See," and HNSNSN. Still have yet to listen to Crass.

I listened to "Hear Nothing..." for the first time a couple of months ago. Also had the "can't believe I never bothered to listen to these guys" thing. It's fucking great.

I think the punk/metal tag kinda discouraged me from checking them out when I was a kid. For whatever reason, metal held a certain stigma for me during those finicky teenage years.

"the more I see" is one of the funniest records I've ever heard.

I got that GBH boxed set (all their Clay albums) in the mail last year, and saw them in 1990 in the middle of a bill - beneath the Ramones and after Warzone.

Lovely Youtubes there am0n.

Not sure about "even though the weapons will never be used they still kill people" though

Been listening to Discharge again.
Relentlessly depressing but fucking ace. Locked in doom.
Their time is coming. Again.Great!!!
Discharge should reform because not only have we got a nuclear worry with all those out of control waste dumps in many places, we are allegedly , running out of gas, food and all that shit!!!!

Discharge need to reform and start shouting about other stuff now - if they have any chance of saving the worlD

I saw Broken Bones supporting Bad Brains once. Good gig ,but thatch persevered

Fer Ark needs to wake up cos Discharge have been reformed for a few years now (albeit with Rat from the Varukers on vocals instead of Cal) and in fact have a new album out in August!

Sorry poo- knew i'd fuck up
can always trust on you

Is the new album disgusted about us humans?

Bob Mould

Would love to know . Those faux metal lead breaks in earliesh Du? Discharge?

Haven't heard the new one, or indeed the album they put out when they first reformed in 2002. They were a little underwhelming when I saw them last year. Could see them next weekend except they're on at the same time as Cockney Rejects so I'll probably go and watch them instead.

Freedom! There aint no Fuckin freedom.
RIOT!!!

Well, quite.

I wonder if the Cockney Rejects are still a bunch of double hard bastards or are now fat old men (or both).

West Ham are the only London club worth supporting. That's an easy one
War On The Terraces.

But we don't haver them anymore.

Health and Safety apparently.

Horrible scene Poo

Ugly

So Bob Mould with his lead breaks?
Discharge or Black Flag(ginn)?

you should ask him!

I daren't!

Greg Norton responded to me from his restaurant though.

I questioned his menu. Looks nice tucker but it's a bit far away. Deliveries?
