tru dat be dat is

I was around the Punk Music scene in NYC for pretty much it's whole run and believe me, Green Day's stuff is about the furthest away from that scene as it gets. Pop, Garage Band and Electrified Folk (if there is such a genre) would be better descriptions. FWIW, I shudder to think of the kind of reception Green Day would have gotten back then had they came on stage in those circles doing what they do.

Here Is Some Punk Rock.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1Tb3DT- ... re=related

Here is another in case the first wasn't convincing. If these two videos don't show what punk is, than I guess Green Day must be the NEW punk. BTW I personally havent heard a new punk band worth anything since 1985 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAqeA5Hc0K4

Sorry mate, I struggle to accept GBH as a punk band after Fridge too Far and Midnight Madness and Beyond, though I do think HAHA contains some of the best stuff they've ever written. Stupidly it's not accepted by a lot of the British punk community for being overproduced. To cite some Italian anarchists I know, too American sounding. Also Colin took every opportunity to complain about the shocking behaviour of my band backstage. Though it didn't go much past chatting some bird up, drinking all the beer while they were on. A great band called Stuntface took a 150 mile trip to support us and GBH in Coventry. Colin demanded all the door money, leaving them with nothing to cover their fuel costs even. My band agreed it as a freebie being local for us.

Jock, Ross and Scott are great lads. Is Ross still out in Hawaii or is he back in Brum??? Considering cities good form lately, I'd bet Brum.

Here's another load who lost their punk sense of fair play.

Yeah Niki, those probably wern't the Best Examples, But I took the first couple I could find on you tube. These kids are asking about Green Day!!! WTF is that? Anyway. Thats cool that you gigged with them. I used to help out a buddy of mine doing sound for local Punk and hardcore shows . I imagine you know the dudes in The Business. They were passin through from the UK. on a tour. I talked with them for awhile. I don't know too many bands from over there, and that was back in about '95. I figured those clips were better than Green Day. I should have posted Bad Brains.

no. no. no. no. people these days think albums like 21st century breakdown are as punk as you can get. wrong, if anything its pop punk/power pop. albums like those are totally throwing off the meaning of punk rock. i like green days first album though
this i agree with.

I was bartending at a club "beginnings" in a suburb of Chicago on a Friday in April or May of 1980. The place was packed, I mean we shattered the fire code their were so many people packed in that club, Tutu and the Pirates was the warm-up act, we sold out of tap beer by 11:00pm all we had left in the coolers was Heineken 30 or 40 cases maybe more and by the end of the Ramones show that was all gone. The crowd was wild and thirsty.
