July 5, 20188 yr I was given a home made compilation of their stuff in high school, funny as fuck. Tempted to go to the Manc gig, didn’t realise they were still going!

July 5, 20188 yr Local private hire driver round here is a member of The Manc Lads - a tribute to The Macc Lads Used to pick me up every now and again to take me to Victoria to get the train to The Reebok on match day Convinced me to go and see them. Dear god they were shite. Really shite. Really bad Oi! shite Don't know The Macc Lads music but that put me off seeing them. Heard a lot about them. What sort of music is it?
July 6, 20188 yr Fuck me, how dated? Songs about queers and AIDS, fuck off. back in the day I found them pretty funny, but if it's all that same stuff they're doing then it'll be a bit dated won't it? - Also, how old are they now? Must be in their sixties I would have thought. Although, they surely won't be any shitter than The Lancashire Hotpots will they?

Just for you I admit I find the Gallacher styled 'todayyyy' quite funny Edited July 6, 20188 yr by madthatter
July 6, 20188 yr Any truth to the rumour one of their songs lyrics has now been rephrased to... "Aye Up We're The Macc Lads and two of the three of us ain't fucking queer"? I do remember reading once that one of them was some public schoolboy perfume ponce playing at being a 'lad'...
July 6, 20188 yr They were pretty shite but occasionally funny - but, like with Alf Garnett, a lot of their fans didn't get the surely thin irony of ditties like 'Feed Your Face'. Anyway, anything they did was usurped by the charmingly named Anal Cunt and songs like 'Women: Nature's Punching Bag', 'Eazy E was given AIDS by Freddy Mercury' and 'You Robbed a Sperm Bank'...

July 6, 20188 yr Anal cunt much like Macc Lads were the source of much hilarity at college. Proper cringe material now coming from grown adults.
July 6, 20188 yr Anal cunt much like Macc Lads were the source of much hilarity at college. Proper cringe material now coming from grown adults. Another one for listening to someones mix tape on a Walkman at school They were funny in my early teens but would be cringe-worthy now I reckon. Sweaty Betty and the one about McDonalds and root beer were faves and I still think the title 'No Sheep till Buxton' is genius
July 6, 20188 yr Come on yer miserable bastards, it's a bit of light hearted entertainment. So what if it's not P.C these days (or any days). Next you'll be up in arms because there are no gender neutral toilets. If you want to be entertained with like minded folk who thought they were a bit of a giggle back in the day, it's well worth the entrance money, nobody is being shoved in the back of a Vauxhall viva and forced to go

Bit like Chubby Brown If you went to gigs and that back in the day it would probably be a good laugh

Our country is full of PC assholes who are afraid to admit that they actually still find things entertaining because society says they’re not supposed to. Sheep. Edited July 6, 20188 yr by captainmed
July 6, 20188 yr Well said Dave. Our country is full of PC assholes who are afraid to admit that they actually still find things entertaining because society says they’re not supposed to. Sheep. I think I find the use of 'assholes' instead of 'arseholes' more offensive than any outdated juvenile shite proferred by The Macc Lads. Edited July 6, 20188 yr by Youri McAnespie

July 7, 20188 yr I saw them in a pub in Leicester when was at uni there around 1995. Went along with my mates who didn't know them There was quite a lot of blokes in west ham shirts and it faverred a BNP rally As much as the songs still me laugh a bit I wouldn't pay to watch them. Just get pissed at home and put a CD on
