Darby Crash went from icon to legend with an intentional heroine overdose. He was one of the greats, to be perfectly honest.

I hate to say it, but I liked Crash more.

Note: I liked John Lennon. He was a great thinker, and I admit, I liked him solo. I had a box set of stuff he had done a couple years ago. I just like what Darby did better. He shook everything up and wrecked it. He burned what music was to the ground in his 5 years as a musician, and for that, I highly respect him.

No, I know who he is... The thing is, I never thought of his existance as being especially significant...

I realize we'll have to agree to disagree on this one... adds to the world's diversity...

cheers!

Hello Lightnin: I think this thread proves you and I belong firmly on the "You Know You're Getting Old..." thread.

Oh well, at least it's answered a question that's been bugging me a very tiny bit...

Cheers - C

@ Ceri,

To be sure, I can relate directly to the "You Know You're Getting Old..." thread, maybe as much as the OP belongs to a "You're too young to know..." thread... but that's not why I feel the way I do.

Crash, IMHO, didn't especially contribute to Punk music. I certainly don't believe in the bold assertion that; "He burned what music was to the ground in his 5 years as a musician...". Perhaps, down the road, the OP may modify his thinking on this.

Punk Rock wasn't invented, it merely evolved from what some others were doing such as Iggy Pop, MC5, The Stooges or Velvet Underground. You could even say that the Kinks' 'All Day and All of the Night' had some of the early vestiges of the genre.

The Saints (UK), The Strand, arguably The New York Dolls, certainly the Ramones, and later the Sex Pistols are generally accepted as having much more to do with the emergence of Punk than Darby Crash and The Germs ever did. They just hopped on board.

cheers!

I know every name and some of the music you mention here. I never heard of the Germs or Darby Crash. :cry: I am about to be 60 so I have no doubt that Darby was a major punk.

Wow, you guys don't know Darby Crash?
He was like, a #$@*&!% legend. The germs were one of the first to originate hardcore punk. They certainly are probably my biggest punk rock influence.
Probably one of the most energetic, raw bands of their time.

And I garuntee you if we didn't know John lennon that well you'd probably doom us to a lifetime of lectures on the 'correct history of music' :roll:

Hahaha - hey Riley, if you don't know who John Lennon was that's absolutely fine by me. You are hereby officially excused lectures and saved from doom. 8)

Actually, like Lightnin, above, I did know of the Germs (vaguely). But Buxom's photo reveals that I would not have recognised Darby Crash by sight or sound if I'd fallen over him on a blood-spattered club floor. We're all into different things no doubt: nuttin' wrong with that.

Cheers - C
