“It was a lot of fun in the beginning, going on tour in the UK, then going to Spain and getting thrown in jail for trashing the hotel… that made the Sunday papers! My dad always read the News Of The World and he saw the story about this wild Scottish punk band, and shouts to my mum, ‘What’s the name of that band our Karl’s in?’ ‘The Exploited,’ she replied. ‘Bloody hell! He’s in jail! It’s here in the paper!’ My parents had a fit; I wish I could’ve been a fly on the wall at that moment.”

“I think the best gig we did with the original line up was at the Aquarius club,” recalls Kip. “About 250 people were packed in there and the place was buzzing. We had a big crowd going nuts, people were falling all over the stage, and we were completely covered in spit… so I guess we went down really well!”
