How were they racist?
i thought this summed it upIf a band sings racist songs, tells racist jokes on stage and has a large following amongst racist right-wing skinheads and football casuals (notably without making any effort to counter this) well, other than signing to Blood & honour records and playing David Copeland benefit gigs i don't really see what else they can do to make themselves more racist

They tell jokes and sing childishly funny songs. How does that make them racist?

This.
My friend of mine has known one of them since they were young. Apparently it all started a bit of a joke and then kinda got out of hand, bringing rather nasty aspects of certain band members to the surface.

No hair shows you care.
utter nonsense.
example please. just one single example. i certainly can't think of one. crap music but nice people form all my experiences of meeting them.
so what? who said anything about football hooligans? certainly quite a few black folk in a lot of football firms or so i undertand it. certainly more than i'd imagine in a Macc Lads audience anyway.
ah! you mean the Enoch Powell studio outtake parody? Oh yes, fully paid up Powellite members, the lot of them. That Warren Mitchell too.
FFS man, if you're gonna argue a case at least use some credible facts to back up your position.

please refer to d.a.s.h.'s post re their 'halarious' opening joke when they played Glasgow.
but then again i suppose (great comic timing etc etc accepted) you'd argue Bernard manning wasn't 'racist'.

I once knew a lovely lady from Maccelsfield, her name was Emma and she would blush with pride at the mention of the Macc Lads.
Nowadays she's living in Kingston-Upon-Thames with her family, but she's still ace and she still chuckles at those Macc Lads tapes.
The ties that bind, eh?

That really is quite laughably poor, man. The only thing i found funny about macc lads was 'beer chips sex gravy' so i used it as me interests on here. Can't say hand-on-heart i've ever bothered my ears with them.

Football hooligan gangs are known to be far more likely to belong to far right groups than any other political associations. And as for black people being in some of them. I have seen a couple of black faces within the SCL - who are directly connected to the National Front.utter nonsense.

And the point about the Beatles is not the parody itself, but the enthusiasm Paul McCartney seems to be showing whilst saying so called racist words. I guess they are a "classic" band so can never be compared with the Macc Lads.
The fact isn't that I believe the Beatles to be racist, but that the Macc Lads are not necessarily so. And even if they were, who cares? You don't like their music? fine. That's taste. But to bring the race card into other people's choice of art is not just cheap, but turns you into the kind of lowlife who is willing to turn individuals into second class victims merely to prove quite an offensive point of view. And underneath that point lurks a far more sinister form of "racism" than that you so enthusiastically describe.

I think they are a load of cock, ditto Manning.
To say that they are good 'northern working class humour' means either:
A) You have never been up north or met more than one northern person
B) Your sense of humour stopped developing when you were 12
or
C) Both of the above.
Or maybe the difference between Salfordian culture and that of Macclesfield really is that different. I doubt it though.

hmmm..perhaps you should put that a poll? I'm no beatles fan myself but I have a sneaking suspicion they may prove more popular than the Macc Lads.

....There is some dispute over who is using the name and who is entitled to use it? I met the bass player and the drummer for beer at Denmark Hill. Nice guys. I hope they gig again. I was disappointed as I had bought the first album when I was 16 (1983?).

The man known as Al O'Peesha in the Macc lads died a few years back, apparently due to real bad stomach problems after becoming addicted to prescription drugs. He was a journalist, I sure wish I could find some of his articles so I could better judge what the real opinions of certain key band members may have been:

Aged 17 some of my best friends were very into the Macc lads, they didnt take them seriously. I thought they were a breath of stale air, which felt strangely fresh at the time due to how stale the mainstream was, but I didnt give it too much thought. I guess at the time it felt like they were pushing some sort of boundaries, there was a challenge to their music that was preferable to the challenge of listening to Brian Adams at number one for god knows how many weeks. I cant imagine ever going to one of their gigs, as Im the sort of person who would eat an Icecream at a Pantera concert. Im not sure if I could listen to their music now without the crapness of it, and the themes, getting to me. Frank Zappa and the Tiger Lillies and Williams Shatners attempts at singing are where I evolved to.
