Zint Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 (edited) If you are into punk,old school punk...real deal punk,then these guys are for you.Ask any American punk band (post 1978) about their influences and these guys will be on their list.From Black Flag to Dead Kennedys and every point in between.I've seen interviews where everyone from Duff to Dave Grohl sing the praises of this band.The bands that are hailed as "American Hardcore pioneers" were crashing in these guys' house when they were on the road and try to get started.That's how far back they go.Here's one of their videos from circa 1979 - 1980 ish They've recorded with Jello Biafra...which should be in every respectable collection.Here's one of the songs they recorded together.Do yourself a favour and listen to the entire song.Full Metal JackoffBand members have come and gone (and died) but Joey Shithead marches on.. They've got a new album coming out on May 1 called Talk-Action=0They are about to head out on an European Tour.If you happpen to be near one of their gigs,it's well worth it to go.Here's the Dates...D.O.A.

Powerage5 Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Definitely one of the greatest hardcore bands out there. I'd love to see them live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock_And_Roll_Over Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 What's so cool about them is that they basically started that whole D.I.Y. movement. One of the great founders of hardcore punk for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zint Posted March 25, 2010 Author Share Posted March 25, 2010 (edited) The drummer in the WW 3 video,Chuck Biscuits...he was drumming for Black Flag the first time I saw them in 1982.He's an astounding drummer...gives it everything he's got.Scariest gig I ever saw.What's so cool about them is that they basically started that whole D.I.Y. movement. One of the great founders of hardcore punk for sure!They certainly helped pioneer it.Couldn't get anyone to release their music...fuck it,fuck you,fuck everyone...we'll do it ourselves.

Zint Posted March 25, 2010 Author Share Posted March 25, 2010 I didn't enjoy that at all. I'll keep my TRU PUNX bands like Green Day, Rancid,New Found Glory,Offspring,AFI,etc. They'd be lucky if Dexter Holland (Punk Rock Legend) threw them a bone and signed them to his Nitro Records like he did for some other older punk bands. that he was a fan of.And the Punk Rock Educator has spoken!

You forgot the after Educator!Hey,dude, I gave them a shot. I can respect them for their influence on some of the bands I like though. As you can tell my "punk rock" favorites aren't exactly hardcore.Your punk rock favourites aren't exactly punk rock...but knock yourself out.

Zint Posted March 25, 2010 Author Share Posted March 25, 2010 Wrong.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zint Posted March 25, 2010 Author Share Posted March 25, 2010 Wrong..How so? I know these witty one liners seem to be your calling card but Green Day,musically is every bit as punk as The Ramones and Offspring are just as punk as The Descendants. If it is about attitude and crusades for societal change, well, Billie Joe does that as well.Kindly go derail someone else's thread buddy...that seems to be your calling card.

Guest Len B'stard Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 How so?Its someone elses idea and someone elses name and someone elses boots they're walking in, thats why. Its pale and boring and fraudulent and insulting. Doing the same thing as The Ramones does not make you The Ramones, try though you may. By definition punk or whatever the torch carriers of punk are called in this day and age cannot be doing what the forebearers were doing 30 years ago because it effectively defeats the purpose.Do your own thing, simple. Remember High School? Remember how every time you or someone tried to behave in a manner that wasn't 100% you/them, you/they ended up looking like a dick? Its sorta like that.
