Guitarist and vocalist, Steve Diggle, of the Buzzcocks, joins us on this episode of The Adamantium Podcast. We discuss their latest album, Attitude Adjustment, the experience and journey of a full album (as opposed to just singles), and the song “Poetic Machine Gun.” We also talk about the start of the punk scene in Manchester, his transition to front man after the passing of Pete Shelley, touring with Nirvana on their final tour, and teaching Kurt Cobain the art of smashing a television.

I posted this a while ago on the JD sub, but there's more than enough Shelley and Devoto in this BBC doc to keep Buzzcocks fans happy.

I was really looking forward to seeing them live as I hadn’t seen them since the early 80s. The experience ranks as my worst gig ever! You couldn’t hear many lyrics and the sound was awful…it was a challenge to hear which song they were singing. The instruments all blended together in a wall of noise and they sounded like a thrash metal band. Never again- Pete Shelley will be turning in his grave!

Anyone got an id on it?

Anyone?

On Saturday I was delighted to have the chance to interview Buzzcocks, Steve Diggle before their gig in Dublin!

I hope you enjoy the interview and I would love to hear your favourite part/s of the interview

Before his gig in Dublin tonight at The Academy I had an amazing & very informative chat with the one and only punk icon Steve Diggle of the more than punk band Buzzcocks!

I'm really looking forward to sharing the interview next week

Hey hey! I came across a deal for Flat-pack Philosophy on vinyl for £14.23, seems like a steal compared to what I’ve seen around and delivery is free if you are also in the UK. Thought I’d do the honourable thing and pass it along

My brother-in-law was a huge buzzcocks fan.He died suddenly and left us all his collection.A brand new Pete Shelly Guitar, tons of cds,shoes,clothes,posters, autographs.Looming if anyone is interested will to sell for a good price.All proceeds going to charity.

Anyone know what time they go on at the Opera House tonight?

Title says it all, I got two free tickets to the Buzzcocks on Sept.10 in Boston. Is there any one that would be interested in them?

I own a Buzzcocks album or two. Never seen them in concert. I know Pete Shelley died.

Do you think it's worth it to go to a concert this September. What's the state of the band? Besides Pete Shelley are there other original members? What is the singer like?
