I was out in the sticks without a TV or telephone from the late 70's until the early 90's. The only radio station played Country - I didn't listen to it.

 

All this stuff (above) happened on a different planet.

The last time I saw the Jesus Lizard the singer was so drunk he fell on his face and knocked himself out. The band just kept playing for 5 minutes or so until he came to and started singing again. It was pretty awesome.

WIth all the big hair and wieghtlifters, some of Pink's "Punk" is bordering on glam rock. What's wrong with good old Johnnie Rotten?

 

your talking about gg allen and he is probably the epitome of punk, glam would be more david bowie, mott the hoople , alice cooper, new york jetts, yada. the sex pistols were pretty glam too. iggy pop the grandfather of punk rock is considered glam. there is i fine line here. poison idea and blagflag is true punk.

You're right there, Pink. There are some fine lines here. I guess I was reacting not only to the hair and the body building, but the whole grand production of more than one of your death-metal band videos (maybe you don't consider it death metal because that refers to a more specific genre, but that horror show wailing, big light's and wall of sound and thrash dancing stuff is a long way from the origins of punk). Some of the others I've watched in your links over the past few days could not be called glam rock, as you point out, but there is a commercial element I associate with pop or something.

 

What did you think of Gang of Four? Their earlier stuff had that crudeness that was a part of punk at the outset.

punk meets scaw, same way i think about the clash. lots of experimental punk out there like the damned for example, wasn't lemmy from motorhead in that band for a short while. then you got the posers like green day, the only thing that makes them punk is that they look like they are all strung out on heroin with a little eye liner. lets face it, punks don't give a fuck and that is punk which is why not many punks bands made money hand over fist because that is selling out and punks don't do that.

Did you read "Get in the Van" by Henry Rollins. It's basically his journal entries from the Black Flag years which gets pretty unreadable after a while, but in his early years with the Flag he didn't have a journal and it is more trip-reportesque.

 

Anyway, why I brought this up is he recounts their early tours where they were basically starving and getting fucked over everywhere they went, but at the same time they were getting shit on by fans at the shows because they were "selling out". Crazy.
