Johnny rotten is a great guy he is taking care of his wife who has alzheimers disease currently stay high dudes
I met him myself. Charming guy. Very funny and definitely is family oriented. Great dude.
Update she passed away, Lydon is a bit of an ass but I love him anyway
When punks first hit the streets the newspapers warned us that our lives were in danger. 😂
Lol I remember BBC warnings in one programme
all the punks i knew were soft core anarchists. just pretending in the confines of society, but they wanted people to be afraid of them.
@@becks7394 I was a punk ,and a trainee Hairdresser,I liked the music but I also wore it because at first you didn't need any money to wear the clothes,just rip the shit out of anything and wear that .Plus I hated bellbottems and flairs and all that hippie shit.Used to get spat at in the street too. LOL
@@nanjones6947 This gave me a good laugh :D
And we wanted that, cos 70's music was bullcrap....my biggest regret was going to see a Supertramp gig in Glasgow with my sister...when the SP came along I remember thinking....Thank fk for that
A lot of those people in the audience will be nearly, if not, pension age now. Never underestimate the old folk 😉 🤣 😂
You're right, we've seen some shit!
The place is the 100 Club on Oxford Street. A location that has Jazz roots and Grass Roots music bands. Was a place to go back in the day on different nights, for Jazz Funk and Soul, or Punk , Northern Soul - A genre not known or covered by the reaction TH-camrs. I would say it's worth them doing a bit of study about the sub cultures back then to have a better understanding of what was going on. It was very very tribal back in the day, People would actually fight one another over what music they listened to.
And we’re still more hardcore than the rest of ya!
@@sukie584 😜
Hey!...I resemble that remark!🤘✨⚡🍁
NEVER MIND THE BOLLOCKS HERES THE SEX PISTOLS. Best punk rock Lp. I still have mine from 70s.
Me too, I've got the picture disc version
Ive still got my 8-track! From 1977!
Shit ...! Thats cool, usually they got turned into ashtrays
@@jasonmgomez 8 Track flashback! I worked with a guy who collected 8 tracks and apparently they can be pretty valuable. I was shocked to know that people collected them beside the value of them. Could be sitting on a goldmine. I hope 🤞. Take care and stay safe 😷
@@melissa2688 yeah, ive seen my Sex Pistols 8-track in a music store in NYC labeled for $1200. thanks for the well wishes.
I’m happy you got to Punk 🇬🇧🇬🇧 “God save the Queen” , “ Anarchy in the UK”.
And my way cover, why not???
This is what we grew up too in the 70 & 80's as a teen. Punk was an culture that you can express everything. What a time is was...
By the 80's Punk was dead.
@@fezhat7096 Early 80's still had punk where I'm from. Still today, punk is very popular.
The Sex Pistols aren't my favorite band, but it's not an overstatement to say that they changed my life.
I'm with you there pal
Whoa, Sex Pistols? NOW we're talking ))) As usual - highly energetic reaction, thank you, matey! And I must agree with previous commenters about God save the Queen and Anarchy in the UK. You need to react to them))
Lets not forget Pretty vacant. Best pistols track imo.
No Feelings
Other hard-core punk acts: "Dead Kennedys", "Fear", "Black Flag", "Circle Jerks", "AFI", "Bad Brains", etc.
I request me some FEAR... I Love Living In The City
I second this rabbit hole ❤️
Minor Threat.
Mo jo Nixon, Dead Milkmen, The Circle Jerks, the list is very long if you go deep down this hole...🙃
FEAR!!!!!
Opening up a whole new genre. Please react to the Ramones. Possible songs are: 'Judy Is a Punk' 'The KKK Took My Baby Away' 'Rockaway Beach' 'Beat on the Brat' 'Sheena Is a Punk Rocker' 'Blitzkrieg Bop' 'I Wanna Be Sedated'
I wanna be sedated is great!
Bonzo Goes to Bitburg
Sheena is a punk rocker is one of my favorite songs ever. However, I wanna be sedated, cretin hop and blitzkrieg bop..those are also some classic Ramone songs.
@@LizONLY Pinhead, Beat on the Brat, Howling at the Moon, I could go on.
Judy is a punk, sheena is a punk rocker, beat on the brat you should lovvvve
The 'V' gesture (with your knuckles on the outside and fingers towards your face, the opposite of the victory gesture) is the British gesture for 'up yours' and is similar in meaning to giving the middle finger in the US.
It comes from the days of fighting with bows, when the enemy caught the bow men they used to cut off those fingers. The soldiers used to show the enemy that they still had those fingers before the battle.
Yeah, it dates back from the 100 year war. British archers taunting the french "I still have them both" (them being fingers used to shoot the bow).
The middle finger gesture has derived from that. Or at least that's what I've been told when I was new into punk.
@@robessell I used to think that too but it said on QI that it wasnt true, true or not its still a good story.
never order 2 beer with this gesture in a british pub :)
@@robessell 😁👍
I think you’d love Bad Brains, an all black hardcore punk band from DC, they revolutionized the genre and broke the status quo. Sailin’ On and Banned in D.C. are legendary songs
Awww shit, he'll go bonkers when he hears Bad Brains.
Maybe start with "I against I" video
I love my city! Our gifts to the world: Bad Brains, Fugazi, and Chuck Brown.
(And Dave Chapelle, of course).
Holy crap, I just realized he’d love Go-go. Who doesn’t?
He would love the Bad Brains great call dude..
I liked a lot of Bad Brain's stuff from their first album, Black Dots, most. Don't Bother Me, Attitude, Supertouch/Shitfit, etc.
Excellent raw garage/dive-bar sound that matches the music so well. Their later stuff sounds a bit too overproduced to me, for the genre, but I can't complain too much.
Don't forget Death, who were an all black punk band before punk was named. What tbey call proto punk. Bad Brains was definitely influenced and not because they were blacl, but the sound makes it obvious.
React please: god save the Queen and anarchy in the UK
Yes I was going to recommend this also.
Maybe the two songs in all the rock music with the highest level of energy. I agree with you, man.
Be brave, react to Bodies.
@ jane doe Absolutely. I second that.
When I wasn't listening to Rock or hip-hop, I was listening to punk.
Try The Ramones "I Wanna Be Sedated."
THIS! ... and "Judy is a Punk", "The KKK Took my Baby Away", and "Blitzkrieg Bop".
Haha I was listening to Vince Neils version of that on the way to work today. . . I can't listen to their Surfer bird any more (Thanks Family guy)
Ramones are pop not punk....
Yess!! The Clash are also bangers “straight to hell” “Rock the Casbah” “London calling” Siouxie and the banshee’s “Happy house” “Dear prudence” The Specials “Ghost Town” “Gangsters” loads more ✊✊♥️
So true, really good setlist.
He'd dig "Rock the Casbah" for sure
Definitely Dear Prudence!
The Specials !!!!
Arabian Nights by Siouxsie and the Banshees.
Guns of Brixton by the Clash
Damn bro you always doin the bands I listened to as a kid bringing back the nostalgia!!
Wow. Early British punk. I’m a lil shocked and impressed. Another rabbit hole. The whole British Invasion. Musically. Love love love how open minded you have become. 💪👍🏼💜💜💜🤪
Blue Oyster Cult “Don’t Fear the Reaper”
Ive got a fever.. and the only thing perscriprion is... more cowbell
Sry but cmon, so out of fantasy... a radiosong they all been doin. Böc have so much better
Excellent song 🎶🎵🎶
and Godzilla
Sorry but BOC? Gotta do "HIM"S VERSION OF DONT FEAR THE REAPER
you should check out their song Anarchy in the UK :) and God Save the queen :D they are amazing punk band
Don't forget My Way and Pretty Vacant 👍. I personally love No Fun lol 😆.
I know you will love this song watch it homie👽👽👽 it speaks the truth in the lyrics. P song. LOL😂😂😂
i grew up in this era but i was a hip hop head mostly. Older i get the more music sucks. So i went back and picked up a lot of old punk and music i wouldn't have listened to at the time. Last thing in music that currently still gives me that old feeling of reality and edginess
I hear that. 😜😜😜
@@VolkXue was just saying this to my husband the other night. Music isn't like it was when we were growing up. It's lost It's meaning and feeling. Not much music these days that invoke the emotions that music used to give me. I just see a lot of barely dressed girls jiggling around singing about bling bling and Rappers talking about guns and violence and pu$$y. I really worry for my son and his future children if they can't get in touch with music from the ages.
These dudes literally started the Punk scene revolution ✌❤💫
Deady Kennedys-Police Truck
Yes!
Yesssssssssssssss
Forgot about that one haha
Holiday in Cambodia, To Drunk to Fu(k
"We've Got Bigger Fish To Fry"
"Let's Lynch The Landlord"
Raw seething energy, spine tingling riffs. Nobody did it like these guys.
You have to check out The Ramones, "I want to be sedated!!" Thanks again for always putting a smile on my face!! 🥰💫
The Ramones are pop not punk....
You should read John Lydons book, Anger is an Energy. Written by the lead singer, stage name in Pistols, Jonney Rotten. Hes still active with his second band PIL, Public Imige LTD. And living in the states now, hes a fantastic dude
💜💜💜
@@Jillyconjem thank you for your kind words
He is a Trump supporter. Worth a mention.
@@ashlealabine6937 aye, Jonh Lydon is. Never knew that. Okay lol
@@russcole5685 John Lydon also is a Brexit and Arsenal fan. He thinks Trump is punk rock. He also likes Lady Gaga, and has appeared in several animal/wildlife documentaries. He is, above all, his own person.
You are definitely having the right reaction. These guys are hard core punks. Check out The Dead Kennedys "Holiday in Cambodia".
God Save The Queen is a great protest song from the Sex Pistols. They burned out fast this band. Only did one album (Never Mind The Bullocks) and it's an absolute classic. Every song a banger. John Lydon (the lead singer, known at the time as Johnny Rotten) is a walking middle finger to the world. Dude does not give a f^€# even today. There's a great movie for your other channel called "Sid and Nancy" about the band's bass player Sid Vicious. Stars Gary Oldman. Classic.
Bullocks?
Remember hearing the album from which this track came back in '77 at tender age of thirteen, laying in bed and feeling the energy pour through my entire body like i'd been connected up to mains electric grid. Without doubt the singularly most exciting thing to happen to commercial music 'ever'.
Punk was the anti everything movement, anti govt, anti police, anti singing ability, anti knowing how to play your instrument beyond the bare minimum...
Anarchy in the UK
God Save the Queen
That's a bit of an over simplification. I take it you haven't had much exposure.
Perhaps that's how it was. I definitely can't speak to that. You got me there. But nowadays punk rock is a lot more nuanced. There is so much variety. I personally prefer music with a message, but more often I find a positive message, rather than an anti. I guess it's just a matter of perspective. They are simply opposite sides of the coin. Pro-worker or anti-corporation? Anti-private insurance or pro-Medicare for all? Is it simply a matter of phrasing? A different outlook? Thinking aloud here, but it's worth pondering.
You can alternate btw Simon&Garfunkel and Sex Pistols! 😂😂😂
Greatest variance between genres. Love it, just like my Spotify library
It flows though and works well ❤️
Punk was as much a state of mind as it was the music, you have no idea the outrage punks and the sex pistols caused in the 70s here in the uk.
It was an anti establishment movement that sadly died out.
World Destruction by Time Zone, which is this singer aka John Lydon and Africa Bambata back in the 80's singing about nuclear war etc
The Sex Pistol, changed music, style, attitude’s! Even today we can see their influence. Bands started after people went to see them!
Omg. Mr video! You are really doing ALL types of music. From classical music Mozart to this💕 impressive
Welcome into the world of Punk! You should check Siouxie and the Banshee and The Clash :)
Hell yeah!
John McGeoch was a guitar God. Strummer was a God’s God
The word holiday in England means vacation
Please react to God Save the Queen by Sex Pistols ... iconic
And the word "spunk" doesn't necessarily mean courage there.😬
@@rich_t Ha
Most of Europe refers to vacations a holidays. Even though the word "holiday" was originally meant as "Holy day".
I'm sure Americans know what a holiday is!! Madonna sung a song by that very name 🤣
If you're attending a battle of wits with Johnny Rotten, you better make sure you're armed. RIP Sid.
I've always loved that I share a birthday with John Lydon AKA Johnny Rotten.
massively primal riff by Steve Jones. Great slab of rock, God Save the Queen, Bodies, Satellite for more of the same
“Where did punk start? Was is the Sex Pistols in England or was it the Ramones in New York?” Need to check out The Damned...
The stooges haha The New York Dolls and then The Ramones, Patti Smith and Television then English took on punk with Sex Pistols, The Damned and The Clash and then plenty more on both sides of the ocean with a ska variation until the New Romantics hit in the early eighties 🤓🤓
@@queensquish gotta fit Suicide in there somewhere
@@ryanclark6402 I didn’t sell out, I bought in....
@@jasonkrause7222 Yes I love Dream baby dream but I gotta admit I need to listen to more Suicide 🙌
Great reaction, you'll love ''P I L - This is not a love song'' it is most definitely not a song about romance :P
th-cam.com/video/9BGi8u8BtaA/w-d-xo.html
He should react to PIL's appearance on American Bandstand, LOL
Thanks for picking this. Everyone is gonna request the same obvious ones by this band,thanks for starting here...I LOVE LIVING IN THE CITY by FEAR!
New York's All Right (if you like saxophones). More Beer!
He should watch their performance on SNL.
Yes!!! Rarely see reactions to SP. Right on
Also, if you feel like staying on them a minute, check out 'God Save the Queen'
It was released / performed during the queens jubilee. And despite being #1 on the charts, on paper there was no #1 song acknowledged 🤣
Ah the Sex Pistols. Music for the pissed off. Preferably at everything.
They come in second to the dead Kennedys lol
@@bsegovia23 Ha! I'll give you that.
I'm not pissed at everything anymore its to exhausting and we all got old.
@@jerryhansen5116 I find myself having the same problem my friend. I'm 42 with four kids. I'm too tired to be pissed.
@@JKM395 I was barely out of highschool , a C student with a BS job , then this album came out and for the first time in my life I wasn't alone. Now 63 and not alone
This band changed my life.....amazing how many bands were strongly influenced by this band
You most definitely need to listen to “Blitzkrieg Bop” - Ramones or “She’s the one” by them as well. Legendary band and known as the Godfather’s of Punk Rock.
I remember one of my friends in high school would come over to my house to listen to her Sex Pistols album, because she wasn't allowed to listen to it at her house.
OMG I was 15 when these hit the scene 🤣59 now ....the original Punk band, everything after was down to these .....Nirvana , Foo fighters, Pearl Jam , the whole Grunge , Brit pop movement. And I was there at the start 😂❤❤❤❤😁 check out Pretty Vavant and God save the Queen, which the BBC banned as it was 1977 and her 25th jubilee year 😁x
We need some of "THE CLASH"; The Magnificent Seven, Rock the Casbah, Should I Stay or Should I Go!!! Let's Go, Mr. Video!!
I'm 43 years old and still clinging to punk rock I'm still the ultimate outsider thank God for a music until alternative rock came along that I could latch myself onto! Plus you would miss out on a lot of great bands missing out on this genre of music!
Jan's addiction - been caught stealing love to see react to them
Public Image Ltd. (PiL) is Johnny Rotten's band after Sex Pistols broke up and is the most underrated band of all time.
Highly controversial band at the time. Their songs got banned. Gigs cancelled. They wrote songs attacking the queen and the government. A lot of the style considered punk goes back to them. They basically had one album, yet were inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. True to form they refused to go to their own induction or perform.
Try 'Anarchy in the UK', 'Pretty Vacant' and 'Bodies'.
Gotta hear Sid Vicious's version of Frank Sinatra's "My Way"
Yeah, that's my jam!! 🎶
Oh god yes!!!
Yes, I was remembering that...
The great rock and roll swindle in general is a good album to cover everything sex pistols related
@@amindrum9621 Never Mind The Bollocks is the album that counts as far as the Sex Pistols are concerned. They had long broke up when the Swindle was released.
I'm 78 and these were a one off, best Punk band of all time. I love all music, some people say this is not music, as you say on your tee shirt it's different.
Just listen to the album. That's all you'll need. "Ever had the feeling you've been cheated? Hahaha" : John Lydon's last words on stage as a S£x Pistol. A statement REALLY Reverberating today. Pretty Vacant is my favourite track.
a lot of people dismiss the pistols but they had a real groove that many punk bands lacked
You are definitely fulfilling your REASON. I am thoroughly ENTERTAINED! Thanks Mr. Video for another 🔥reaction.
A great band, they only made 1 album and all songs are good
I think 2 albums. Never mind the bollocks and the great rock and roll swindle.
@@Jetshite The Swindle was released a full year after they broke up. Pretty awful album full of out takes and cover versions. And lots of post Lydon material. One 1977 album and four singles 1976 to 77. That's was it for the Sex Pistols. They had split after that in early 78 on the American tour but of course released some more material without Lydon but still under the Sex Pistols name.
@@DOMSKYTRANCE Cheers lad. You know your onions.
@@heresjimmy9149 Musical roots are in 70s punk 👍👍
No waaaaaay you reviewed this song!!! Nice one!
I like the Leaether Strip cover a lot.
A good song can be covered by anybody and still be GOOD!
Good music crosses all boundaries ❤️
I really love this album. You should do pretty vacant
Often overlooked but definitely my favourite of theirs!
Yea Leo your reason to be hear is for thousands of smiles a day you really have no idea how much you crack my tf up dude ❤️
“They’ve been to a lot of Holiday Inns”😂🤣🤣
XO❤️
The Sex Pistols - Bodies, now that's a lot of fun.
She don’t want a baby that looks like that!
A screaming bloody mess
@@rdm4509 that would be a screaming, fucking bloody mess.
Her name was Polly she lived in a tree this whole album is great Problems,New York and Submission are all great.
@@jameshannagan4256 I’m not one to gossip but rumor has it, she was a no-one that killed her baby. There’s supposedly a letter that proves her guilt.
I caught your Rappers Delight reference though 🎤Hotel, Motel, Holiday Inn🎤- 😆😉
London Calling by The Clash is a great example of Punk
If you decide to do more punk bands, I recommend the American band "Dead Kennedys." The songs "California Uber Alles" and "Moral Majority" are interesting musically and more so lyrically.
Other notable DK songs, "Too Drunk to F---" and "Stealing People's Mail".
Sex pistols frigging in the rigging is a giggle too 🤣
“IF YOU CAN HANDLE IT”.....It would be good to watch your reaction to ‘THE PRODIGY’.....either ‘FIRESTARTER’ or ‘BREATHE.’
Keith Flint (founding member of the group) came to a sad end in 2019.
You REALLY need to do the movie "Sid and Nancy". Gary Oldman played Sid Vicious. Also, any video you can find for these guys is worth the watch/listen. Keep rockin'...🙃
That movie is crap! A 40 yo ac-tor playing a 21 yo punk and the worst ever John Lydon representation with someone looking more like Captain Sensible 🙄
One of my all time favorite movies. Nancy wanted to die from the time she was born. The book her mom wrote is really good.
Sid and Nancy is one of those cult classics that will live on forever!!
@@normandavidtidiman9918 true i guess the guy who made it was kind of a hack. bit of a fluke the movie became popular. He also made my favourite movie Repo Man.
That movie is absolute crap. Inaccurate and glamourises heroin addiction
That was excellent. Best thing I have seen today. The pistols and the beastie boys are very similar in their authenticness and you called it there dude. Thanks for the smile that put on my face. Am 55 now but was a sex pistols fan back in the day.
You’re gettin in to the gritty stuff now man!
Good stuff, Johnny Rotten is actually a very intelligent guy.
“You ever get the feelin’ you’ve been cheated!?”
Yesss! Were getting into the punk genre. Gotta do "kill the poor" by the dead Kennedys. Also, if were gonna do more $3× pistols, you have to do anarchy in the UK. Classic. This is what has me addicted to your channel. You're doing every genre I've hoped to see someone do. I haven't watched another channel in over a week!
The Sex Pistols had a number one hit in the U.K. in 1977 with their version of the U.K.'s national anthem "God Save the Queen". The song went to number one even though it was banned on radio and TV because it was considered to be offensive. If you have a 45 RPM of the first pressing of "God Save the Queen" then you own one of the most valuable records of all time. Last one sold for GBP 13,000
In 1977 The Sex Pistols played a short concert on a boat in the River Thames in view of the Queen's Silver Jubilee . They performed Pretty Vacant , Anarchy In The UK , Problems , and God Save The Queen . They were arrested when the boat docked . Johnny Rotten , real name John Lydon , is now a US citizen . The Sex Pistols song Bodies has usually been considered an anti-abortion message . He has supported Barack Obama in the past , and supported Donald Trump in 2016. A really interesting guy for sure .
The black and white parts of the video are filmed in Berlin as the Wall was still standing and the City was splitted in two parts. East and west Berlin.
This era of punk was raw and pure the songs were mostly political. Sex Pistols gave rise to bands like the Butthole Surfers and the Dead Milkmen.
John Lydon's (Johnny Rotten) autobiography "No Irish, No Blacks, No Dogs" is amazing, so well written.
The Berlin wall was built during the cold war to divide the eastern (communist) part of the city of Berlin, Germany from the the western (capitalist) western part.
That was torn down in 1989, one of my German exchange students brought me a piece of the wall. It has blue and green spray paint on it. I remember watching it fall on tv. It looks like a regular rock now because it fell off its placard (don’t underestimate cats) ... every time I see it, it reminds me how stupid and scary the world can get but also the strength to overcome.
This explanation of the song's meaning I found online is pretty good. East Germany was no place to have a holiday. I was briefly there once.
"At the time this was written a stupid woman from the left wing had an article in the news saying she didn’t want a ‘holiday in the sun’ but wanted something with more meaning. She then wrote that she wanted to visit the Bergen Belsen or similar death camp. She meant the type of historical museum. John Lyndon wrote these lyrics after reading this. It was extreme Satire at the type of political idiot who wants to holiday in someone else’s ‘misery’ and is his expression of pure human disgust at the idea of a horrific death camp becoming a holiday destination. I think the same is true of the reference to the Berlin Wall, that he thought that people could only holiday to the wall from the western side as if you did from the eastern side you would be machine gunned.
The satire is very deep dark stuff. I believe it is john’s horror at such dreadful places becoming like part of the entertainment industry."
Pistol, or, Pistil, is old school English for a wild living, carefree, freespirited man and the term predates firearms (There's a character called Pistil in the Shakespeare play Henry V). Sex, was the name of an alternative fashion shop in Chelsea where the guys met and formed the band (the owner of the shop was the band's manager and one of the original members of the band worked there.....and allowed his mates to steal stuff). So, the young pistols that hung around Sex. The Sex Pistols.
You said Sex Pistols like 10 times in a row🤣🤣🤣🤣 you crack me up
The Sex Pistols, "The Great Rock n Roll Swindle "
Nobody had seen or heard anything like this in 1977, they changed music (with a few other bands) forever. This is about Brits going on holiday and visiting the Berlin a wall, that divided East (Communist) and West (Democratic) Germany, and wondering about the plight of the imprisoned East Germans living in horrible conditions, and killed anyone trying to escape by climbing over the Berlin Wall. Great reaction!
The Sex Pistols have influenced, Music, Style, Hair cuts. Etc. even 46 years later!!!
The back to front peace sign ✌️ in the U.K. is the same as an American giving the middle finger, so...you know...they’re essentially telling everyone to F off, which was a standard punk attitude.
Other bands to look out for from this period are The Clash, The Jam, The Specials and maybe Madness. All bands that hit the U.K. charts in the late 70’s and have endured a lasting popularity here in the U.K. but maybe were more underground in the USA.
The Pistols were a "boy band". A studio put the band together after music scouts went to NYC to CBGBs and heard The Ramones and The Talking Heads.
Yeah but they were fucking wild
From what I know, that is bull shit, malcom maclaren was there first manager. They formed themselves after practicing in his bookstore
They performed in my local night club in the west country long before they became famous.
@@sly6627 jealous you got to see them pal. John's a massive idol of mine. Well, the whole crew is really. Sadly being born and living in New Zealand we never got to see them. Amazing band and huge following for a single album release. I'm not sure if any other band as ever done the same milestone
it's true they were put together by Malcolm McLaren, but it turned out they wrote amazing songs for themselves and were one of the best bands of all time
This is the song that turned me punk rock in 1981. Two other friends turned me on to punk that day. We were drinking the quart of Jack Daniels I stole from my restaurant's bar when I was a dishwasher. We tore all the Ted Nugent and Aerosmith posters off the wall; I took my rock record collection and played frisbee down the street. In 1998, I was able to take a photo of a small section, and touch it, of the Berlin Wall when I was stationed in Germany. Not one regret (except the Judas Priest albums). Cheers.
‘Bodies’ has to be the next Pistols song
Oh shttt that'd break his head
If you want to hear more punk rock, then I have a few big ones. Dropkick Murphys, the Stooges(early years), the Misfits, and finally, the Ramones. You won't be disappointed.
I love how you absorb all music.
Love their whole album. Absolutely brilliant. After you do their songs, check out The Ramones. It's brilliant!
The first two lines of the song read "I don't wanna holiday in the sun. I wanna go to new Belsen". Belsen was a concentration camp where over 19K were killed by the Nazis. The Berlin Wall at one point was a tourist attraction. The song is mocking that.
The original punk, awesome band. Check out Hey by the Pixies
For sure check out the Pixies!!! You'll probably recognize their song, Where is my mind?, from the movie Fight Club.
definitely not the original punk band, however they were punk as hell
@@nodnoc they were part of the original UK punk scene, were they not? Legit question.
@@bsegovia23 London came after Detroit and New York by several years
Death (Detroit) is closer to being the 'original' punk band.
I always remember the last line of the song, 'please tell me why you bore me!' Very rebellious for the time.
In 1981 I was a "punk" waiting to happen. When that former fellow J.V. football player came over with the "goods," we drank the quart of Jack Daniels I stole from work, and I proceeded to put my step-dad's head through the wall. The very first PUNK SONG I RELATED TO, WAS "HOLIDAYS IN THE SUN" from the Sex Pistols. Roll footage.... Cheers,
Sid and Nancy is a must see movie. One of my fave performances from the amazing chameleon Gary Oldham as Sid Vicious.
A total banger that is more current is the band, The Strokes - Reptilia
My favourite back from them times and a classic has to be ..
The Guns Of Brixton ..by The Clash
Lead singer is Johnny Rotten. I'd suggest watching a couple of early interviews with him and the rest of the group.
I like you soooo much! Yes you can try "anarchy in the uk" or god save the queen".
