as much as i like the two bands, kids these days also pretty much think it's green day and blink 182 that started the punk movement, lol.
i read somewhere that black flag reached the peak of it's popularity with dez as their vocalist. don't quote me on that though
hehehe, korek! m thankful though for the two bands (Blink 182 & Green Day) for bringing it out, it's the fusion of the generations. old school sound + modern feel + modern/classic look + fun + attitude (a little lighter though) = their POP PUNK. now, specially blink, they brought out humor to the genre. although it's still popular music & not as pure as "Punk Rock", the roots are still in there.. and also, hehehe, another excuse for me (for my age) not to go Harcore.. hheheehhehe..
to add injury, kids these days often refer to as EMO as post-Punk or hardcore.. beg to disagree.. it's more like Gothic, parang when Souxie sounded punkish in the early days but became deep and gothic later.. oh well..
btw, you're right, Dez Cadena was the Vox during it's mid peak of their popularity.. and later on turned to guitar because of his worn-out-voice (wala kasing training daw..) then later on Rollins step on board.. mga 1981 siguro un.. hehe, i was 11 then..
anyway, baka ma-OT: pedal set up ko is :
BOSS SD-1 (stacked mod) > HardWire TL-2 > BE FL-100 > MimicMan Delay
but sometimes the TL-2 does the job alone! hehehehehe..
