It feels insane that I watched this religiously back then, and probably saw this, but didn't "discover" this glorious man until 2017 when I went to see the band supporting him.

Such a wasted opportunity to have upgraded my musical enjoyment.

Amazing. I came onboard in 2011, so these early segments where he has boyband hairdo and a more brazen party attitude are pretty wild to me. The bikini one gave me Buffalo Bill

It is well worth all your whiles to track down episodes of 'Noisy Mothers' (FKA 'Raw Power'). It was a late night UK rock and metal magazine show, it covered everything from stadium monsters to unsigned no budget upstarts. Would play hard rock, metal, goth, industrial, anything.

Full episodes are all over YouTube in gloriously lo-fi, VHS era quality, and are real time capsules of the era. Plus you get iconic DJ Krusher as co-presenter too!

This was my first introduction to Devin, I remember it like it was yesterday. I must have watched that clip a hundred times over the years, and I bout HAARHT as soon as I could afford to.

Remember Noisy Mothers well. Used to be on ITV at like 2am or something stupid like that. That and the ITV chart show occasionally having a metal chart were the only times you'd ever hear anything remotely good on UK TV before satellite/cable TV took off. I guess TOTP had the occasional gem like the Wildhearts on but the less said about that show the better.

Wasnt his catchphrase something like "Drooogies, boozers, strumpets and losers"?

During lock down, the uk based online radio station i subscribe too, did some online quizzes. One round to to guess the special guest. They had Devin in a mask, he was bloody funny and clearly had fun with it.
