gig review

[Manic Loop]

well i moseyed on down to rick coty last night to watch the Vandals. Support acts were Tsunami bomb and Audio Karate. Tsunami Bomb we great, lead singer is a looker too. audio karate were ok, but too poppy too blink 182 ish for me. the vandals were amazing, they put on a good show, the crowd loved it, and Punk rock was the winner oft eh day.
all in all, very good stuff

Cant wait

[Manic Loop]

i think it sucks but you'll love it

[Manic Loop]

punk is crap??? nah glaza, you must be living on planet k***head to think that, cradle of filth, now there is crap.

[bluemoon32]

Managed to get my wife to take the girls to see Blue

[GLAZA]

err... no.

just out of interest though... what was the expletive?

[bluemoon32]

No such thing as punk nowadays
Punk was in the 70's & the likes of The Ramones & the Pistols must be laughing their heads off (if alive) at the so-called punk of today. It's impossible to re-create a time in history as everything is soooooo different today

Lucky swine. How did you mingle your way out of that one?!?

[Manic Loop]

ahh perhaps, but then define punk? essentially its about attitude and the attitude is similar. once you get past the populist pop punk of blink 182 and sum 41 and get down to the core it bands like propagandhi are more punk than any of the originals

[GLAZA]

how do you find "boxcar racer"?

i dont know why but i think their ace!

[Manic Loop]

you find them by going itno a music store and looking under b, personally i havent touched them, avoid the whole blink 182 thing. im delving into the dark centre of punk now

[Smeg Devil]

p-rock plays decent music hense the p which stands for punk!!


they play the Take On Me video from RBF!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GLAZA]

watch their new single on p-rock (ie the new music channel on sky)

its really good... worlds apart from the blink crap!

[Smeg Devil]

there is???

its been on kerrang for ages! and is amazin

[GLAZA]

oh... only heard it the other day

[Smeg Devil]

you'll b ok soon!! and there album is amazin too

[Manic Loop]

nahhhh, its not pounk, too commercial, how can comerical bands cliam to be punk. they have to be indie, keeping it real, or at least with their own cool lable, like the vandals

[GLAZA]

i never said they were punk. they sound nothing like any punk bands ive heard (although not that many)

btw... did you intentially miss spell "rock city" in your first post or was that your comic genius again?

[mad_times]

The problem with Punk now is that too many kids listen to it (think the fake rebelious attitude is cool) and then don't understand about real music. Then eventually the whole music genre (guitar music) gets polluted by fakes and then becomes the new trend. Shame really because i used to like bands like NOFX and Reel Big Fish but even they have been commercialised.

I reccomend Snuff to you people, good stuff.

[Manic Loop]

NOFX rock the world they really do, they are a great band who could have totally sold out and didnt. they could be blink182 now, but tepped back from the fold when they could have gone corporate
