Fucking right we are. I'm terrible remembering names so when I'm feeling punky I can come back to this thread.

Just started making my way through The Menzingers but love this song.

This is my assigned ring tone for my daughter. All of you dads of daughters will understand.

I'll start if we are doing a List, wish the Ramones were on my List but I never got to see them.

A couple that are more Pop Punk but put on good shows were:
-Green Day ( amazing show every time, and those guys have fun on and off the stage.)
-Blink 182 (funny guys, that actually like playing hoops when on tour, except for Travis. Travis's ex wife who was a Playboy Playmate use to sit around the house all day in bed smoking pot and watching porn).
-The Replacements

Some of the better Punk Shows I have been involved with were:
-Suicidal Tendencies
-Social Distortion
-Dropkick Murphy's
-Flogging Molly
-Bad Religion
-Unwritten Law
-Strung Out
-Rise Against
-Poison the Well
-Reverend Horton Heat (Rockabilly Punk)
-Sum 41
-Rancid
-Guttermouth
-Mustard Plug

Some that I saw past their primes, that disappointed:
-Dead Kennedy's w/ Brandon Cruz as Lead Singer. Supposedly one of the sick fucks in the band picked up some 14 year old girl at a gas station in Steamboat Springs and fucked her. That didn't sit well with me. I was professional with them but didn't try to be buddy buddy with them after hearing that. Never did a show with Jello Biafra, and didn't want to. Heard he was a nightmare to deal with.
-Bad Brains (HR - Human Rights - before a show decided he wasn't going to play unless we got him crack and a hooker. He did not win that conversation. I literally sat right across from him in the Green Room for 2 straight hours making sure he didn't get all cracked out while his band went out to grab dinner. Weird cat, who would barely talk. The band was impressed I sat there and kept him straight as they hated playing with him when he was out of his mind)

I put in countless offers for The Misfits & Pennywise but could never get one of their shows booked.

I pretty much wore out my Social Distortion tape in my ‘87 Corvette jamming to this song whilst carving up the mountains of North Georgia in the early 90’s.

Best punk album ever...

 

[LoudHogRider]

No punk thread would be complete with a little Sid Vicious & Johnny Rotten music. I actually enjoyed the entire “Never Mind the Bollocks; Here’s the Sex Pistols” album. IIRC, my neighbors did not share in my enthusiasm for the band …

Big suicidal tendencies fan

As far a punk goes bad brains and social distortion were always my
Go to’s. Was usually more of a pop punk/metal/hardcore scene guy. Mostly metal.

Could fill up a whole thread with them, but here’s a few older ones you may not have gotten to yet.

(All time great punk rock chorus in this song)

“I will fuck this up. I fucking know it!” 🤣🤣

“I will fuck this up. I fucking know it!” 🤣🤣

And yet somehow it's incredible lyricism

 

[Baron Winnebago]

Not that the new Menzingers stuff isn't great, but On the Impossible Past and Chamberlain Waits were absolutely killer albums, but totally different from the newer ones.

Can you call yourself a punk band if your singer isn’t a heroin addict at some point? I think it’s necessary for a line like “cracked out and sleepless in seattle, got drunk and barfed on my shadow.” Great song though.

I've gotten really into Leftover Crack and Choking Victim lately, so I can relate
