Punk vs. Metal

[bailgun]

elvis was not punk. elvis was a chump.

He didn't start out as a chump.  That happened with time.  I'm sure we could all think of some punk icons that's happened to.

yep. pretty much every single one that survived past the age of 30.

At least punk still has Charlie Harper and Lemmy............

what about jello?

Just some thoughts...

Part of the reason I liked punk, metal, and rap was that they were stocked with fairly original artists and all seemed to be pushing against the status quo.  Unfortunately, they've all been co-opted by either corporate America, or scenester America.  Both of which, I find to be extremely vile in their blandness.

I remember when punks were outrageously good at playing their instruments, metalheads were legitimately pissed off, and rap was still scaring the ever loving shit out of suburbia.  Not that these ideas were ever all encompassing but how did we move from Dead Milkmen to all of these fucking Ramones clones?  Why does the local metal station claim to "rock" and then play Nickleback?  Why do kids in Eagan, MN threaten to "put a cap" in my ass?

I propose a new counter culture band.  Take some angry, yet intelligent teenagers and have them split apart and eat Brian Wilson's brain.  Voila!  Beautifully orchestrated tunes about how despicable our government is, why top 40 sucks, and why we're all beautiful on the inside and you'd better fucking believe it or we will crack your god damned ribs open with an economy sized tuna can and feed your still beating heart to the ghost of Keith Moon.  Add heroin to taste.

what about jello?

yeah, he' still legit, for sure. I saw him do a spoken word performance not too long ago and he's just as fired up as ever.

he also had some not-so-kind words directed towards east bay ray and the rest of DK (who it seems, have turned into chumps over the years) regarding that so called "reunion" tour a little while back.



and...well said, sleef.

I would definately have to prefer punk over metal. I like both of them alot but when i skate i like punk better.

^^^EPIC^^^

[the WORMER]

Bad Religion is seriously one of the only punk bands I can think of that really has not changed all that much since their conception
Jello is still pretty cool too

[elastic back]

i love how triple umlauts are "physically impossible."

The "Death - Pleas for Help - Adolescent Poetry" track was my favorite.

I've read a million times in Rolling Stone how back in the late sixties people used to graffiti "Clapton is God" all over the place.  Those people needed to lay off the smack 'cause it's pretty damn obvious that KEITH MOON IS GOD!

need proof?  Go listen to Bargain by The Who really loud.  There never was, or will there ever be again someone who could play drums like that.

To top it all off, Jim Henson created Animal after seeing Keith play.
