Green Day=punk rock? Don't thing so...They've been sell-outs for years now...t125eagle said:Hey,
I was wondering if anyone liked Punk rock besides me. The Ramones, Sex Pistols, Clash, Green Day. ?
My favourite band is Motorhead,first saw them on the Iron Fist tour way back in 82.You must have heard the old joke "who would win in a fight Lemmy or God?trick question Lemmy is God".t125eagle said:I was being nice for all of the Green Day fans out there. I think that they are too soft, but that's just me. My favorite band is the Ramones. I'd really like to start a punk rock band but so far, I can't find anyone else who likes punk rock enough to play it.
androvski, I'm actually going to a metal concert tomorrow night. If you go to www.myspace.com look up a band called TILTID. I think they're good.
The Dead Milkmen? I remember my sister bought me "Big Lizard in my Backyard" for my birthday like twenty years ago. I still love the song "Dean's Dream". The closest thing I listen to that's punk now is Me First and the Gimme Gimmes.gdalton said:My favorites, The Misfits, Dead Kennedy's, Minor Threat, Sex Pistols, The Dead Milkmen, X, Black Flag, and my all time favorite Fugazi.
My older sister introduced me to punk rock. She was so cool. Still is. I will always be thankful for her guidance in the finer things in life, lol.shuamort said:The Dead Milkmen?

I used to like the Cockney Rejects,especially "Hate of the City" and"OI!OI!OI!"galenrox said:my older sister took me to an Atom and his Package show when I was 14, and that's what drew me in.
My favorites are The Misfits, The Arrogant Sons of Bitches, The Unseen, Oxymoron, Balzac, Voodoo Glow Skulls, The Independents, The Teen Idols, The Rolemodels, Criminal Class USA, Against All Authority, and the Cockney Rejects.
A lot of the youngsters these days are really lame(not all Galen).gdalton said:I'm scared as to how our children will choose to rebel against us as their parents, I mean what are they going to do ware penny loafers and pink polo's, make straight A's, and come home early on a Friday night all sober and stuff.
I'll probably catch a lot of flak from this, but what the hell, it's only my observation. Kids these days....they rebel by being stupid. Being ignorant and totally absorbed in materialism is the rebellion of the 21st century. It's more frightening than any amount of mohawks and safety pinned flesh.gdalton said:I'm scared as to how our children will choose to rebel against us as their parents, I mean what are they going to do ware penny loafers and pink polo's, make straight A's, and come home early on a Friday night all sober and stuff.
There couldn't be any Chavs on this forum,most of them have trouble stringing a sentence together:lol:mixedmedia said:And I want to address to any young people that are on this forum - you don't count. Obviously you have enough interest in the world to seek this place out and I commend you for it. You are the hope of your generation. Go forth. Teach. Live long and prosper.

I always looked on the Jam as a Mod band,though I did like them,some really good songs,Eton Rifles,Going Underground and in the City are my favs.Gardener said:Buzzcocks are my fave of the original punk bands. The Jam, too, if one considers them punk.
In the late seventies a lot of stuff was called punk that probably wouldn't qualify as punk today, so it's hard to tell. I remember people referring to Elvis Costello, Talking Heads, Television, Sioxsie and The Banshees and others as punk.
I've seen quite a few of the bands from the late seventies that were punk or punkish at the time, though, including the Damned, The Pistils, The Ramones, Wire The Stranglers, etc. Also saw Elvis C on his first American tour. That was pretty fun.
See www.chavscum.co.uk that will explain better than me!mixedmedia said:What is a chav anyway? What's their raison d'etre?
Yeah, I don't really consider them punk, either. Back then, though, all the various musical niches weren't so distinct, so a whole lot of bands that arrived on the scene in 77-79 were just swept up under the same classification.Androvski said:I always looked on the Jam as a Mod band,though I did like them,some really good songs,Eton Rifles,Going Underground and in the City are my favs.
