Stiff Little Fingers

[EightMilesHigh]

So...I was listening to the album Inflammable Material t'other day, and I was thinking "That's gotta be one of the best punk rock albums I've ever heard."

I love how it's just so fast and brutal and unrelenting, especially "Suspect Device." There's gotta be some other SLF fans here.

What do you all think of one of Ireland's greatest contributions to musical society?

[white_riot]

They are great! Inflammable Material is one of the greatest albums ever. Every song on that album is awesome. I haven't heard much of their new stuff but I might check it out soon.

[MILF Hunter]

I've said it before and I will say it again.

Nobodys Hero is better than Inflammable Material





Ps. Johnny Was is the best song ever

[Skidmark Steve]

I've said it before and I will say it again.

yea. that has some of the best guitar riffs and solos i've ever heard. I also like the slow part in Barbed Wire Love where the backing vocals do the "dum dum dum dum"

[Bukowski]

Inflammable Material is all i've heard, but man what an album it is. So many good songs. I've heard an interview with Jake Burns where he talks about his influences, how punk affected him etc, and that's awesome.

The cover of Johnny Was is excellent too.

[Ghostfire3]

Yeah, Inflammable Material is a great album. Listening to it right now.

[op_ivy37]

suspect device is a great song

[Culture Shock]

I saw them a couple summers ago.

[Ghostfire3]

I saw them a couple summers ago.

Nice, how were they?

[Mute Print]

These guys are pretty good. I have Inflammable Material, and it's a solid album.

[RetiredAt21]

I like Suspect Device. Awesome song.

[AIRIC]

I like them. I'm downloading some now.

[YoungSavage77]

I saw them either last year or the year before that in the summer, and since then, I've only been to one or two concerts that have been close to being as good as Stiff Little Fingers live. And I've been to alot.

[Culture Shock]

Nice, how were they?

It was great. They covered "Doesn't Make It Alright" by The Specials and they ended with Alternative Ulster. A few weeks later I went to a party and some 'punks' said the show sucked.

[Brain Toad]

Good band, I listened to Inflammable Material the other day and really enjoyed it.

[fatwreckpunk]

i have some greatest hits 2 cd thing which is pretty cool. It has quite a few real good songs but let down by some terrible stuff. I have a mixed opinion of this band. The real good songs are some of the best i have ever heard. I will check out 'Inflamable Material'

[MILF Hunter]

They covered that on the Nobodys Hero Album

[skateMASTERbater2]

I also think nobodys hero is their best. Roaring boys is an awesome song

[TakeWarning]

They're awesome, Alternative Ulster is briiliant.

[fatwreckpunk]

alternative ulster was the song that got me interested in them tbh

[TakeWarning]

Me too.

(that song owns)

[Theramed]

i love inflammable material i havent heard much else but roots radicals is amazing too

[Culture Shock]

They covered that on the Nobodys Hero Album

Didn't know.

[The_Passenger]

My Dad has Inflammable Material on vinyl, I've listened to it a couple of times, pretty good stuff.

[Sebek]

I enjoy this band.

/is listening right now

[D & V]

Stiff Little Fingers saved my life.

[Liebensaft]

I listened to Inflammable Material today. 'Twas riveting.

[Mannik]

Every song off Inflammable Material is brilliant, especially Barbed Wire Love and Alternative Ulster. I've also got No Sleep 'Till Belfast, which is a well worth buying live album from the late '80s.

[vote me]

Alternative Ulster is by far there best song

[RIP Ian Curtis]

I love Barbed Wire love so very, very much. One of the best punk "love" songs ever by a considerable margin.

[Mr.Shankly]

Ummm....i bought Guitar and Drum...it sucks hard. The old stuff of theirs is amazing Law and Order, Alternative Ulster, and that stuffs. Guitar and Drum sounds like new power pop and it makes my ears bleed. I am convinced that they are two different bands.

[Drop The Baby]

F'ucking amazing band

[Tinpotoperation]

Being from Belfast you have to love the Stiff's it's the law.

We played a John Peel Tribute gig a few weeks ago along with 2 original members of SLF, it was cracker.

[fatwreckpunk]

i just downloaded inflammable material as it was getting good reviews here, its an absolutely amazing album i love it and cant stop listening to it now, i only have their greatest hits other than this, this album does the band full justice !!!!

[nitzguy]

i only have one album by them i think its called "Hanx!" its got johnny was and i'm dreaming of a white x-mas on it along with an interview as the last track. i really like it, i think its an import

[Iron Bug]

Amazing band.

[littlebeast]

It's pretty good imo. Not like the old stuff, but decent.

[Tinpotoperation]

Just for anyone not familiar with the lingo round these parts

"Hanx!" means "Thanks" but as pronounced in a broad Belfast accent.

Just in case anyone was wondering about that :)

[Graffito]

VERY GOOD BAND... one of my personal favourites

sometimes referred to as the "Irish Clash".

alternative ulster, suspect device, beirut moon, get a life, at the edge = very good songs.

[Mannik]

I love Barbed Wire love so very, very much. One of the best punk "love" songs ever by a considerable margin.

[white_riot]

Barbed Wire Love was the first song I heard from SLF. I was dowloading Nobody's Heroes the album the other day and from what I have dowloaded from it, it sounds pretty good. I don't think it could be as good as inflammable Material but not many albums have compared to that brilliant album.

[Drop The Baby]

Dave says Nobody's Heroes is a lot better than Inflammable Material. I don't see how it could me, but he's right about most things. I've been meaning to buy that CD for literally months now.

He called Here We Are Nowhere a filler song, i love that song :(

[albert_bass]

I love Here We Are Nowhere a lot too.


And Inflammable Material is better than Nobody's Heroes but both albums are 2 of the best punk albums ever.

i figured as much.

[MILF Hunter]

:confused:

[Theramed]

[Drop The Baby]

:confused:

You did, i remember!

[ThisUserIsAPipebomb]

Ps. Johnny Was is the best song everEins zwei drei


Inflammable Material is in my top five favorite and most inspiring albums. SLF are amazing beyond compare.

[superjoe]

Alternative is, imo, one of the greatest punk songs ever, Inflammable Matireal is an indispensable classic...anyone who hasent heard it is really missing out.

[Liebensaft]

I've been listening to it more and more and like it more each time.

[Skidmark Steve]

all this talk about Inflammable Material. whats up with the other albums? any good?

[DaveToopes]

Did you read the thread?

[Skidmark Steve]

not all of it

[Flagjacket]

Did you read the thread?
For real.

Stiff Little Finger is f'ucking awesome. Ireland's second best musical contribtuion is Thin Lizzy. THERE I SAID IT. WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO.

[white_riot]

To Skidmark Steve, Some people say Nobody's Hero is better than inflammable Material.

[MILF Hunter]

[Liebensaft]

Anyone have Nobody's Heroes on Soulseek?

[Liebensaft]

*bump* Flags and Emblems was awful. Anyone sharing Nobody's Heroes?

[evan6the9punk]

Its probaby the band that got into classic punk, besides the clash and a few others, its so amazing

[Scuba_Steve]

I like flags and emblems:upset:

[MILF Hunter]

I like flags and emblems:upset:


I dont mind it either.

[vote me]

I dont mind it either.

[MILF Hunter]
