Biz Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 Hi punkers if you could see a punk covers band on a Wednesday night,would you prefer a Sex Pistols tribute or a band playing Heartbreakers,New York Dolls,Ramones,The Damned,The Ruts,The Sex Pistols,SLF,The Jam,The Clash,999,The Buzzcocks,Devo,The Mekons,Chelsea,Dead Boys,Rezillos,Undertones etc,etc?Anyone with an interest in old school punk out there?.Anyone up for seeing either of these bands?.

psydoll Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 Dave reckons the greatest band ever is The Ruts so I guess that he'd say the variety as well but I'd definitely go for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jake Wifebeater Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 I would rather encourage bands to perform their own material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sundaram Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 But I reckon these young whipper snappers need to be shown what punk REALLY sounded like.No matter what you do, it wont sound like "punk REALLY sounded like" back then anyway, it'll just be a sad imitation! It depresses me greatly that there are so many tribute bands on the go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biz Posted June 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 the pointthe point of 16 again is to have a laugh and remind or enlighen folk that there were some very good tunes being played by bands who never got a crack at being rich and famous.Our set list is a cracker,who else is gonna play songs by The Ruts, Buzzcocks,etc etc ?

Aaron Gilman Posted June 27, 2004 Report Share Posted June 27, 2004 But I reckon these young whipper snappers need to be shown what punk REALLY sounded like.just no. i hate this attitude of punk elitism, i mean it comes from both sides, i.e the fans of old, feel superior to the fans of new, and vice versa.why not embrace both sounds? afterall is it not the content that matters? the conviction in the song etc? and i can't understand how a band playing all covers exactly the way the songs were written can have as much conviction to the music as those who played it that way first.but yeah i'd rather see the band playing various bands songs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
