Ungovernable force was my era Conflict album, saw em live on that tour (my second ever gig) 6th Nov 1986 in Rotherham Assembly Rooms

This Mexican boy in El Paso Texas first heard them in 91/92…. I was never the same since. Thanks for your conviction and stance! That boy - a man now has never forgotten! CONFLICT!!! ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾

i remember back in the 80s ...conflict came and played in my town of surbiton at the assembly rooms...its was a night to remember...conflict were only a few songs in and the pigs came rushing in knicking people and throwing there weight about as normal... and just before they killed the power ...colin let out a mighty cry.." Its the pigs,Lets fucking kill em" everybody threw there fists up in the air and made a massive roar ...then went head to head with the pigs in a massive brawl...chairs tables went flying from all angles...i was only 16...it all went off big time between punks and police...i was so proud that night to be a punk....thank you for that ever lasting memory....increase the pressure !!!!

That sounds like a fucking awful gig tbh mate. I knew these blokes personally and yeah they could be a little rowdy but I can never imagine Colin saying "It's the pigs, let's fucking kill them." I just remember doing very normal things like getting pissed with them and puffing with Paco and arguing about Hawkwind and Motorhead!

First time I saw/heard Conflict was when they supported Crass and for an unknown band, I was impressed. Saw them many many times and chating to Colin who said that gig supporting Crass was their 4th ever gig, they were tight. Loved this band, so shocked what happened to Kev and Paco but I learnt a lot from this band back then which still carries on today, bless you guys

I've met Colin many times and he really is a genuinely nice bloke, I also think CONCLUSION is an utter masterpiece of an album,not the heaviest but pure class

@Allen Sentinery Actor and Comedian blimey. You are obsessed🤣. NO ONE CARES.For someone so anti Cinflict you certainly spend an inordinate amount of time on here slagging them off. Please realise that the vast majority of people on here are Conflict fans and the ridiculous claims that you make about them mean nothing. IF you're going to troll then please troll positively,there are plenty of other bands around that deserve your bullshit.

@@DevonMike73 Hey Scrump, how are ya? Havn just read old mates 'Conflict are Nazis & Posuers' novella.. lm fkn mystified, lve been into em since 82(l think, lm 56 now.. memorys not great)..Al's made a statement (a few actually) but never any evidence backing it up.. wen did Colin etc turn racist..wen did they become posers? He's obv hurt by sumthin in his past.. l dunno, lm not gonna go on a rant, but..we need more bands like Conflict, Subhumans etc to inform & educate.. now more than ever. I admire your patience with the bloke!

One of my top bands growing up. Still listen to them now 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Saw them live a few times in 1982 then on and off 1984 - 87. They were mostly great live and despite the sniping from some quarters they always seemed committed. Respect

I was at that Brixton Academy gig it kicked off big time after the gig there was quite a riot all good fun high spirits

Best Punk band to come under the "Anarcho" label. Taking no prisoners, and confronting bigots and bullies from boneheads to butchers. The only band to listen to when you're needing the moral support to sabotage the local fox hunt.

Always had huge respect for Conflict - saw them a few times in The Crypt (St Pauls Deptford). Met Big John in the rRailway Tavern (Bromley North) about that time. A great band whose lyrics, and message, are potentially even more important today. x

Played a gig with them in Long Beach California in 1985. Besides having great music and lyrics they were really cool people. Dave.....Final Conflict.

Colin is such a nice bloke and for me has always been an inspiration throughout the years, would love to see them in concert when things get a bit more normal again, just imagine Colin an igs doing something...that would be amazing!

First time I saw conflict was 1983 Focus Youth Club Peterborough. Changed my life forever. (For the better)

Seen conflict live three times and always delivered great shows

Top guy. Top band

True legend

I saw you Guys twice

Thank you colin for all the concerts of my youth. (Met my wife after a conflict gig- she was catching the milk train too). I even understand you for ignoring my message about charles rivers animal farm and my skillset i could give use of as if you dont know me it does sound far fetched or a police entrapment.

Such a real man Colin. Thank you for the Station gig in Gateshead in god knows early 80s. And staying at the flat after the gig and playing records and just never breaking admiration ive always had for you. I was a kid you treated me like an equal and remember you and steve were not wrong. x

I think "Bury the hatchet" is the New Model Army song about the beef with Conflict....

Saw you at the palace in L.A like 20 years ago.

My only issue with the box set is, just like the reissues from 2006, everything is just mastered too damn loudly. I've heard some loud cds in my time, but I think these might just top them all. I actually like listening to loud music, BY CRANKING UP THE VOLUME. I actually think it was the 2006 Conflict cds that made me realize the loudness war was actually a real thing, and not just something made up by a bunch of snobby audiophiles.

So When's the new album out !?

Hello, do you have as a project to realize these two box sets however in Vinyls?

All these years I thought Only Stupid Bastards Help EMI was aimed at The Exploited

One of their singles they sold at a loss,and they sold a couple of hundred thousand of them,cost them a lot of money

Trust me, Colin is not really racist and xenophobic. He was just conforming to Republican Libertarians and Democratic but it was a joke. So was I. Just satire. He's probably Liberal and Christian. Trust me, they're Peace Punk, not serious about Anarchy. Same here deep down.

Colin is hilarious. To take his lyrics seriously will drive anyone crazy. Don't go there. I've been through it as a junky, and he really probably thinks punk hardcore straight edge is serious about fascism, just to cut a joke. Sure he's not an actor, but he's like the bloke from Kismet HC, too ridiculous. Good friend, with alot of talent, but frankly, not my best.
