Have y'all seen "End of the Century," the latest Ramones documentary? Sad, but great concert footage, with lyrics superimposed on screen.
Also footage of The Stooges, who often take #1 in my mind, though The Ramones, Damned, are all in competetion for that spot.
Lately have been getting a bit into 80s punk, though I prefer the classic stuff. But I have been laughing at and digging Fear and rocking out to The Germs.
I did see it and agree that it was both sad and entertaining. What I never really realized, though I was a fan starting with "Leave Home", was the fact that they always thought they would have a Top 40 hit. Well, they should have, but it was never going to happen. Because people have no taste!
Saw the Dead Kennedys at a small club (now long gone) in Portland, c. 1979. They were terrific!
oh wow basket case dude! i love finding peoples with the exact same tast ein music as me!!
hey i aint a dude im a girl
lol ay dear sorry, strange how i assumed, well all the same ur taste in music is same as mine, its all good lol. sorry again
its ok i am a punk are you
punk is... "rock music with deliberately offensive lyrics expressing anger and social alienation; in part a reaction against progressive rock
a punk is....."a teenager or young adult who is a performer (or enthusiast) of punk rock and a member of the punk youth subculture [syn: punk rocker]
or thats how its techinically defined.
i myself am not a punk, altho i enjoy the music an do have safety pins in my clothes.
Yeah, I know what a punk WAS.
I just don't know what a punk IS.
what about AC's show punked ?
Yeah, Ashton is punk as balls! Anarchy in Hollywood!
Never Mind the Bollocks still one of my fave LPs ever. I'd take the Buzzcocks over the Damned too, never liked them much for some reason. The Clash was one of my fave bands but they aint got nothing of the sharp outburst of energy the Pistols had.
The Exploited's Punk's not Dead is a classic too, but my fave rant-along-to punk track is Sham 69's If the Kids Are United. Fist-thumping anthem.
Hey and what about 999? They were pretty obscure I guess but they had some ace songs - Homocide, Boys in the Gang, Feelin' Alright With The Crew, Hollywood ...!!
Plus one of my fave punk tracks ever: Innocents, by John Cooper Clarke. (snarls) "In-nno-ceents!"
Oh oh and the UK Subs! Party in Paris, Brand New Age - "1980's a brand new aaage!", lol. And Slaughter and the Dogs, Cranked Up Really High, and the Vibrators were cool, "Sweet Sweet Heart", "Baby, Baby" - but thats already almost just raw rock n roll (but then punk was, in hindsight, wannit?)
In the cute category I always had a weak for the Undertones as well, John Peel's favourite band, nebbermind the monster it created when Feargal Sharky later metamorphosed into the vain tw!at of vacuous pop. Love that spontanously rattled up rambling kids-in-a-studio sound.
And what about the wimmin? X-Ray Spex (Oh Bondage Up Yours?) Siouxie howling like a cat in heat on those first Peel Sessions, Suburban Relapse, Love in a Void - "my lips are like palmtrees, swaying in the wind", lol...)
I dont have much for 90s punk, tho Rancid had me going I hafta admit ...
I actually saw 999 in Portland, OR and the Angelic Upstarts in Seattle. Those were the days...
I dug the Undertones first lp. A lot!
I saw 999 on their reunion tour, sometime early nineties! Well weird (I mean, the reunion thing, them bald beerbellied geezers half-pogoing on stage and everyone in the hall older than me...)
Amazing that they're still around. It was fun at the time I saw them: Punk was getting zero airplay in the US, so the audience was sparse. UK bands toured the US on the cheap, but the audiences who showed up (usually in small crowds) loved it. You could live in a small town and see some great shows for not much money back then.
I saw the Ramones in Eugene, OR in 1978 for $5...
Dead Kennedy's AND The Ramones? You're killing me D'artagnan. I'm jealous. I was born in 1979 and was sucking boob while punk faded into new wave. Off the top of my head I can't think of punk bands still touring that I would like to see. Hmmmm.
Nimh. Sham 69 is definitely quality, ditto X-Ray Spex. And don't forget that other punk lady, Exene Cchenrjkth...oh I can't spell it, but you know I'm talking about X.
As far as 90s punk goes, I can dig on some of The Dropkick Murphys. I would say the Yeah Yeah Yeahs cut it, too.

Well, Gargamel, the down side is that I'm now middle-aged, and you're still young!
