THE EXPLOITED Frontman WATTIE BUCHAN: 'I Wanna Do An Album Before I Die'
"I wanna do an album before I die, or before I pack the band in, so within the next two years I hope to record an album, for sure, for sure," he added.
Founded in 1978 in Edinburgh, THE EXPLOITED's last studio album, "Fuck The System", came out in 2003.
Back in 2018, Wattie told Metal Underground that a new THE EXPLOITED album was in the works but warned that it might take a while to complete it.
"We told the label six years ago that we had an album almost ready," he stated at the time. "We've got at least sixteen brilliant songs written, I just need to put lyrics to them, but with my health problems I've not been able to do it. We've got a couple of songs written but it's hard to get us together once a week for practice because we all live far away and our guitarist and bassist have jobs. Hopefully with my health being better, we'll try and get something done, but I'll never do anything unless it's a hundred percent. We could go into the studio tomorrow and I could throw out some some lyrics, but it wouldn't be hundred percent and that would be exploiting the punks."
In December 2022, Wattie was rushed to hospital after collapsing on stage due a suspected heart attack during THE EXPLOITED's concert in Colombia.
The now-67-year-old punk legend, who has a history of heart problems, was performing the song "Army Life" with his bandmates at La Estrella Roja Calle 66 when he started feeling unwell, clutching his chest and bending down before dropping to his knees.
In February 2014, Buchan suffered a heart attack on stage in Lisbon, Portugal. Shows in August 2018 and September 2019 also had to be canceled due to Buchan's health problems.
A year after Wattie underwent a quadruple heart bypass surgery in 2014 following an onstage heart attack, the singer told I Probably Hate Your Band: "I thought I wouldn't be able to do gigs anymore, so I'm just glad I can still do gigs." He later told Tattoo.com about his heart procedure, "They cut my leg went right through my tattoo and put it back together," and added: "The most important thing in life is your health. If you don't have your health, you don't have fuck-all."

Мои любимые их альбомы - 'The Massacre" и "Beat the Bastards".
Смутно припоминаю, как Уотти в свое время отвечал на вопрос о своей особой нелюбви к тогдашним политическим лидерам Великобритании; примерно процитирую по памяти:
"Был у нас премьер Джон Мейджор - типичный такой британский высокопоставленный политический мудозвон, но не без достоинств; я ему в чем-то даже симпатизировал. Но вот сраная Мэгги Тэтчер - сущее исчадие ада! Такое ощущение, что она уже в силу своего образования, воспитания и типичного для многих британских "небожителей" насквозь выхолощенного чванливого мировоззрения откровенно ненавидит простой народ".
А сейчас, ни за что не поверю, что он сможет записать что либо задорное.
Сам я, к сожалению, тот выпуск MTV как-то пропустил, но, зная подспудную язвительность Тутты Ларсен и ее тогдашних коллег в лице Александра Анатольевича и др., без труда представляю себе итоговый результат со множеством мельчайших подробностей.
