    • @Mudge07
      @Mudge07 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      None of this would’ve happened without the original. The energy of a live performance and polish of subsequent, tight gigging all helps to elevate this later version. Howard’s vocal relates the topic manifold, Pete’s vibrant delivery is entirely his; so personal preference decides that choice rather one being better than the other.

    Pete Shelley co-wrote with Howard the sound track to my school years a little known very early Buzzcocks song Boredom. A definite classic but not on any anthologies but I love it with the great lyric "Now I'm living in a movie which doesn't move me. I'm the one waiting for the phone to ring, ring a ring a f**king ding. RIP

    Go boy! this band is perfect for being a teenager. Forget all 90s and later Green Day-type bands.This is the real thing. By the way they had a song called "Sixteen again". Check out more names like the aussies Hard-Ons, Meanies. Also The Weirdos, The Screamers, Germs, early Black Flag and Redd Kross...the list is long, investigate and enjoy.

    As an old punk Green Day are an excellent band and if they believe their music is a new type of punk for a new generation then really it's no different to Sid always wanting to be Eddie Cochran - you take what you can from your heroes and you go your own way with it that is how punk started in the first place - musical evolution and long may it continue otherwise music dies and that would be the real crime...
