Chubby Chris' politics

If anyone can find reliable references about Chuby Chris' involvement in the white power movement, that would be a good addition to the article, helping explain why the band has sometimes labeled as a white power or RAC band. I did a quick search of "Chubby Chris" and "National Front", and found an article by Searchlight, but it would be better to find a more mainstream publication.Spylab (talk) 15:15, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

I guess that he might talk about it in his book. I'll see if I can get a copy from the library sometime. I don't actually know if he ever was an official member of any far-right/WP/Neo-Nazi group, to be honest - all I've ever seen over the years since I first heard of him and his band have been allegations on partisan websites and ranty forum/blog-type posts. I also read somewhere that he's now married to and has several children with a Thai woman - but I can't find a reliable source for that either... --Kurt Shaped Box (talk) 03:31, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

How about explaining the group's name? It's neo-Nazi references are clear to anyone with eyes. Vauxhall1964 (talk) 21:22, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

• I have eyes, and I don't see any neo-Nazi references in the name Combat 84. Please explain.Spylab (talk) 22:31, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

This was after the Band i think-also the band had a greek Band member and later he had an Asian girlfriend or wife. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.54.130.48 (talk) 01:52, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

84 means in fascist code "Heil Deutschland". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.26.154.200 (talk) 08:19, 23 December 2022 (UTC)

Timeline muddled

I had a look at the band's releases on Discogs and they don't seem to fit with the trajectory in the article. There is a lack of sources. I imagine that it's hard to find good sources on a band such as this, who were only together for a few years and are largely remembered for one song. That one song seems to have been recorded and released in 1983, yet the article makes out as if the band didn't last long after the 1982 BBC Arena documentary. I'll see if I can find any old punk zines on the Internet Archive, although I'm a bit reluctant to search for "Combat 84" on there: we all know what will come up. Epa101 (talk) 09:32, 5 May 2025 (UTC)
