2 jaar geleden op Casa Blanca (Hemiksem) gezien. Zalig nummer! The Scabs zullen altijd een groot voorbeeld voor mij zijn!

Een van de beste... En zeker de aardigste bassist van België is niet meer... Wat blijft zijn herinneringen aan echte Rock & Roll, mooie optredens en geweldige en integere muziek... Altijd uit het hart... Herinneringen aan de keren dat we met jullie tourden... Geweldige sfeer en fijne gesprekken...Gouden tijden... Fons Sijmons, we gaan je missen...

Luc Ivens

Guy, na het droeve nieuws... Maar Scabs will be scabs... nooit meer hetzelfde...helaas. Maar keep on rockin' ! Fons zou het ook nie anders willen.

RIP Fons SijmonsFons Sijmons played bass at one of the best rockbands of BelgiumHe suffered from luncancer and died this morning at a hospital in Ghent. Keep on Rockin' Fons.The Scabs - Nothing On My RadioFrom the album : Jumpin' The Tracks (1991)Note : The Scabs Biography : (a mix of Stones and Clash)Belgian's band with the highest degree of "rock & roll".Started as a bunch of angry young men in 1981 and made a smashing knock on the door debut with a few singles ("So called friends / Frozen faces" and "There's nothing wrong / Beat me up"), a track on the album "No big business" ("Is this life?") and the mini-album "Here's to you Gang". The group was at the time most often compared with The Clash. The reward : a place at Torhout-Werchter, the biggest summer festival of Belgium.After a less well-received second album (produced by the producer of the Bollock Brothers Ian O'Higgins) "For all the wolf calls", the group starts searching for a new direction. This is found on the album "Skintight" and in the person of Willy Willy - the Sir Keith of Richards of Belgian Rock music. Ironically the Scabs find their way to a much broader audience with the muted singles "Stay", "Halfway home" and the beautiful "Crystal Eyes". The albums however contain loud rocking music. "Ballads are the only way to get some airplay", said Willy "A song like that can be used in more programs than a loud song. Call it compliance, without giving in."The next two records get a gold status even before their release and the hits keep coming : "Don't you know", "Robbin' the liquor store", "Nothing on my radio", "She's jivin'", "Hard times", "Hard to forget" ... and a whole bunch of brilliant other songs. This is the second golden period of the Scabs. In 1992, they finally get another place at Torhout-Werchter after the album "Jumping the tracks". After 1993, it somehow seems to get more difficult to get their act together on album. Their live-reputation however remains untainted, and is recorded for their offspring on the double live album "Live dog". The culmination of their shows is the Neil Young classic "Rockin' in the free world".Although the Scabs have perhaps the most international sound and song-writing talent of the Belgian bands, never in their career a international breakthrough comes into reach.The band keeps searching for the right combination. The 1993 album, produced by Mike Vernon, gets received also received very well. In Humo "We wouldn't know if we finally heard the réal Scabs, We don't have a clue what road they will go on next, we wouldn't know if "Dog days are over" is the definitive Scabs album : it is the best, most complete album they have ever made. We're a little confused. Wanna bet we will get on the wrong train again tonight ?" Willy Willy steps out of the band in 1994 (saying the Scabs weren't experimenting enough anymore) and is replaced by the former guitarist of Clouseau, Tjenne Berghmans.This move prolongs their career for a good year, but doesn't manage to revitalize the band. At the end of 1996, Guy Swinnen decides to call it a day and Belgiums finest rock band is no more.Frank Saenen, who went to play with Whim Punk after the Scabs, tried it for some time with "Temple Bellona" (split in June 1999). In 1998, he became part of Belgian's original punk band The Kids.Guy Swinnen has launched a solo career (I'm alive !!) and has already gained his own place in the Archives.Willy Willy revealed early 1999 that he had formed a band called "Willy Willy and the Voodoo Band", released two albums with this band.

We still play live! We will be playing 4 festivals this summer (2013) in Belgium. And if all goes well even more in 2014!

And more for the Belgians that don't have a government but still the country is doing better than most other European countries that do have one...One more from the finest rock band ever... not just Belgian, but worldwide... period :-)Thanks Guy, Fons, Willy Willy and Frankie for some great times together !

The Scabs - revealed to me by the power of the internet. I was searching for the group who made an EP in the late 70s (Amory Building/Don't Just Sit There/U.R.E./Leave Me Alone) yet I find this group as well as an American band also called the Scabs. All 3 bands have a different sound yet I rate all 3 - but this band from Belgium is a real find. I have only listened to Hard Times and Nothing On My Radio but so far so good! Seems I am a few years too late to see them live though...
