Love love love going to shows. 

I remember seeing The Libertines at a small venue when they toured for the Mick Jones-produced debut Up The Bracket.  I remember queuing up to The Crocodile Cafe's bar right behind a pre-Kate Moss dating/raging junkie Pete Doherty.  He was still soft-spoken and cordial.  I don't think they ever toured under the original lineup after that. 

Got to also see Iggy and The Stooges at a festival venue about 3 years ago.  Iggy let most of the front row up the stage and got mad at the stagehands for not letting the crowd up.  The band then did I Wanna Be Your Dog and then asked the crowd to get off the stage in an orderly fashion.  Hilarious!

Seeing Gang Of Four on their reunion tour was a fantastic experience.  The funny part was that the audience was composed of a much older set than what I was used to seeing at other shows.  The old-school punks came to pay respect.

I was also stung by the music of Erase Errata when they opened for Bloc Party when the latter was touring for their debut album.

I was also glad to have experienced the music of Sleater-Kinney at a live setting before the trio decided to call it quits.  This was months after the release of The Woods on the Sub Pop label.

Some of the bands I've enjoyed seeing onstage and took photos of:

Against Me! (at Endfest 2007)


Ted Leo & The Pharmacists (at Seattle's The Showbox, April 2007)


X (in the photo: the legendary Billy Zoom, Exene Cervenka, John Doe, at Seattle's The Showbox, March 2008)

the distillers have one hot front woman, wow

dude, try to check out the frontwoman of Vice Squad.. she's a bit hot for my taste on her photos took around the 80's a bit old narin by this time..

on the 'Pop-Punk' issue (i think), well, maybe at this age i would say that i have personally experienced some of the local punk culture here in the philippines a few years back.. with some of the 'pioneers' of pinoy punk and the like... well, in my personal opinion, some of the 'pioneers' here in the philippines will also contradict their 'beliefs' with their 'actions'... for example, if one talks and about Anarchism and that of he is a follower of the concept of it, it would contradict the fact that he works with the government (pretty lame eh)... or one would talk and tell that he believes that the solution of our economy is the Barter System which also contradict his belief because he owns a large wholesale and retail of shirts.. hahahaha!

lets put it this way, would you judge someone regarding his/her look, lifestyle or his contract deal with a major label that he/she is not 'metal' because he/she dresses up in a prim and proper manner, have a clean cut, wears colorful shirts, friendly, and other things that would oppose the concept of being 'metal' such as trashed clothes, long hair, black outfit (shirts to be particular with big bold band graphics on the front and a screaming band name on the back), sporting a stare-that-could-kill, and an underground scene BUT listens, plays, and loves 'metal' music?

come on!!!!


so lets all stop the whining about other sub genres and 'opposing sub genres of the main genre' and start talking about the most important thing (i think) that would really matter in this thread, THE MUSIC ITSELF........

to wrap up, i think that punk started out as a lifestyle... and evolved into music.. which is eternal and more meaningful....

hurr gossip durr

and did you know Tim Armstrong wrote a lot of their songs(The Distillers) but never given credit...hahaha...what a bitch...

[Daemon Transmission]

those Hagstroms that Broady uses looks really nice and it aint that expensive. Before I got my Tele I was seriouslly considering buying a Hagstrom Super Swede guitar(LP like), I think Lars (Rancid) use them and Pat Smear (The Germs, Foo Fighters) use them as well.

Switching keys here, lets admit it the punk guitar style isnt exactly known for being the most technical some may say its crude (I know my style is), but I bet youve heard of Jim Heath of The Reverend Horton Heat I think hes one of the best around. You know when sometimes stuff you hear from a bands record dont really translate well live, well I tell you goin to one of his shows like hearing his record but gazillion times louder.

[nitroaurora]

Pat Smear yta ung guitarist ng The Germs..

[the_Nong]

grabe, after seeing her in her time during the Distillers, sha nah!!!! lab yu Brody Armstrong (wag muna Dalle)!!









here she is now..






she reminds me of Courtney Love... but better.. hehehe, btw, notice her GUITARS, meron payan eh!!

[Daemon Transmission]

Ngi Pat Smear, I was thinking of UFC 1 lol!

[Deadwing]

Pat Smear yta ung guitarist ng The Germs..

tsaka Nirvana.  So he was in two bands where the lead singer offed himself.

@death by exposure
well to be honest, Im not a punk but I listen to all kinds of music. I listen to punk music too, but wearing mo-hawk and leather jackets does not go along with my personality, where I am a peace loving creature. I just noticed that punk music, is a type of music that is simple and If one would compose a song, punk is the easiest to do. well musicality it does not require that much technicalities only attitude and thats cool.


@the nong, your strat set-up reminds me of a hello kitty guitar set-up..so hello kitty guitar can be used for punk too

[ioffendpeople]
