Guest allsystemsfail Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 Your wish is granted! I have the video' date=' and it's got some harrowing interviews w/Sid, saying he'd like to be "under the ground", just before he died. I'll take it to the gig on the 29th, if you'd like to borrow it.[/quote']Hey man, cool. Thanks While I don't have a video system myself, I can certainly watch it at a friend's.

Guest allsystemsfail Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 Oh riiiiiiight. Never heard it to be honest with you so can't comment.I gotta say that I'm kinda surprised. As a Pistols obsessive (as I once was) I thought you would have tried to track down pretty much everything by former members. You said too that you hadn't heard anthing of Cook and Jones' other contributions to the work of other bands.Anyway, I'm not taking a swipe at you. Just surprised is all.The Sham/Pistols project came together in I think 1979. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Sham 69 were a band that never interested me in the slightest either.I also hated those songs Jones and Cook recorded together, included that one with Ronnie Biggs, the Pistols were just a twitching corpse at that point and just cringeworthy to listen to.

You said you loved punk, but have said nothing of second and third wave outfits such as The Ruts, SLF, UK Subs, Crass, Dead Kennedys, Discharge... Did such bands not interest you? Anyway, as I said, I'm just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially Black Flag.I liked a lot of The Ruts' stuff but thats yet another tragic story, its just a shame Malcolm Owen didn't live longer.

Full length The Crack still stands as one THE great punk albums. Did you check out Ruts DC?So, have you made it along to any of the DIY punk shows at Drakes?

Larsen B Posted September 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 He doesn't want this thread to turn into a huge argument' date=' probably because his own argument doesn't have enough substance and didn't really say anything anyway.So lets just leave it at that eh?[/quote']No it's because it's really just a matter of opinion and my opinion of Hendrix is not gonna change cos what someone else says and nor will i change their opinion which means it would just really drag on without conclusion.

Well, after Malcom's death, the remaining members chose to continue, albeit with a slightly different name. Bought their first 7". Wasn't that excited by what I heard.DIY? Think indie. The DIY punk community seeks to maintain a strict independence - the building of a genuine alternative to the music biz - a global network of bands, zines, show spaces, distros, labels, and friends. The DIY ethic is central to the punk cause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
