Mohawk Rock

Rankenphile

Because I just got in a conversation asking me for good punk rock. Why not share it with you ungrateful snots?

First of all:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nr4Gq0DpOJE

That's an hour and a half of old-ass punk. The entirety of the first Decline of Western Civilization film, streaming on YouTube. Fun fact: this was made by Penelope Spheeris, the director of Wayne's World.

now on to the short bits, because that's the way this shit was supposed to be enjoyed.

Now get a job you filthy hoodlums.

Orikaeshigitae

AHAHA FUCK YES.

dude, you just beat me to it by minutes.

Rankenphile

That's what I do.

Rankenphile

Seriously, jesus christ, look at that list.

Not a bad song in the bunch.

And ain't a soul on this board gunna bother listening to two of them.

Rankenphile

yes, but can they cook?

Orikaeshigitae

well, if squid from the distillers can open a tea shop, l7 can open a restaurant

Quetzi

Shit

It's far too late for me to listen to that many songs

Tomorrow, however

Orikaeshigitae

hey, where's the leftover crack

(let's just post in here by ourselves)

Rankenphile

this is a rad-ass song

the declines of western civilization aren't on dvd yet are they?

Blake T

Like I might listen to them.

But I'm at work and won't be home for like nine hours or so.

This is a good thread, but OP lacks three all important things: Dead Boys, Misfits and Subhumans. No matter what I'm in the mood for, they're on the list. The funny thing about all three bands is I only care for their material up to and including their first albums.

Proof that those first albums are good times:

Also, the third part to Decline of Western Civilization hits a funny spot for me. I had a good friend that eventually moved down to NYC and ended up a street/crust punk. No idea what became of him, other than his political views became insufferable nonsense.

There a number of fun-to-watch, somewhat informative, documentaries out there for folks who want to dip their toes in the water. Decline of Western Civ. 1 and 3, American Hardcore, and Punk: Attitude are neat little things to play catch up with. It's not really informative at all, but when I first got around to checking out punk, I watched Another State of Mind and Youth Brigade did a lot to sell me on the sound.

dunno

I bet you could find them if you looked

part 2 is awesome in its own beautiful way

part 3 is just goddamn depressing

also, I forgot to add before: AFI before they turned into that goddamn tragedy of emo lame bullshit

such as:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0-jUDsosmg

if you're curious what I meant by goddamn tragedy, this band tha twrote those songs above turned into this

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vz__wHVCNng

what the fuck

Rankenphile

Klash - forgot about Dead Boys, Misfits was covered in a previous conversation, and Subhumans... I have no excuse for not including them.

Orikaeshigitae

afi used to be good? damn.

Punk is my second love in life, Heavy Metal being my first.

I always get a inch away from becoming "serious" and setting into Punk and getting deep into it. Always so close, but never manage to get past a certain spot. I find a band, and just go bonkers over 'em for awhile, then they become a hallmark and I forget to continue on.

Case and point, I've spent the last three years saying I'll go listen to some Oi, but I never made it past Cock Sparrers. It's like saying you'll listen to pop music and not making it past Lady Gaga.

Edit: Also, Penelope directed an actual movie about L.A. punkers in the 80's. Not really notable or anything, but always struck me as funny. Live performances of T.S.O.L., though and Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers shows up.

haha, this anecdote about the firemen at the club is amazing

'the rioters thought the firemen were a band? why, because they went on stage?

Well, since you have Wizo up there in your OP, here's probably the most influential German punk band, Slime:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ID4lstARK0w

and for a more "modern" sound, have some Dritte Wahl from the 90s:

I wasn't entirely sold on this thread until it covered the tragedy of AFI.

I'll contribute with the world's worst live band:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJxmx7-0xyg

Maximum

Strung Out is the best band ever. That is all.

RabidDeathMoose

Jesus christ did I fucking love me some NOFX in highschool holy crap.

Are we gonna be pro or anti Anti-Flag in this thread?
