Mike, I saw all those bands at the Channel in Boston for Hard Core Sundays.

Uncle Sams :smokin: :gu: :buds: :cheers:

Must have been awsome. The Channel closed before my time. I saw the majority of shows at The Rat, Middle East, and Churches/VFW's in Cambridge and I the Hardcore scene was very different by then. Those look like they were the days.:boots:

A week or so ago CBGB's in the bowery closed. I spent a few hazy weekends in NY as a kid and CBGB's was where we always ended up. Richard Hell and the Voidoids, The Ramones in thier element, The Jim Carroll Band ( peopl who died is still a great tune) Iggy Pop, Wall of Voodoo and my personal fav show there, The New York Dolls. There was so much going on there it took you a week to sort out not only what you saw on the stage (three bands a night most nights) who was screwing who or what in the john, I would go outside in the alleys to piss, it was so gross no matter what I had ingested I could still rationalize that it was not prudent to even think about it. I was not going to take out anything or drop my pants in there but it was a hell of a place. Everything stunk and every thing was always sticky.
They should have carted the whole interior to the Smithsonian.:claps:

Totally agree.

Wow. I saw the Gorilla Biscutts and Sick of It All there one day and walked down the street and went to a show at Coney Island High. That was a great day. I can't believe CB's is gone but I think it's golden age was long ago...even before I went there. The nyc punk and hardcore movements of the 80's and early 90's definately centered around that place. I heard it may need to move but didn't realize it was closing.

I remember when I first started college in Strong Island walking into shows there and looking over at the bar to see a row of guys sitting there that I had idolized growing up. Being there definately made you feel like your were a part of something.

joey lives!!!!!!!

every time I see Howard Stern.. I think Joey!!..
used to be a hoot when Howard would have them on Joey.. DeeDee.. they would really rip.. Howard and Joey would always goof on DeeDee, that Howard and Joey were really brothers..

I played drums at the Boston Club (paradise now),,the Rat ,,the Club in cambridge,,Beachcomber in Wollaston, 3 coppermen in Lowell,, White Sands in Manomet,, Caseys in Hull ,,did a showcase of new bands there. Cap N" Swing was one of them that night .. Later that year they changed thier name to the cars . Did a gig once with NRBQ ... remember them ? A bunch of other places don't even remember.. some down the cape .. 7th grade was the 1st time I played out in public until 22 .. It was great .. up all night ,,sleep all day . Playing in a band is a great way for an ugly guy to meet girls .A lot of self abuse can't mention ,,peeing in allies,,puking on your clothes . Spend all your money on your bar tab for the week . :err: lucky too live through it .Others have told me stories about myself .. like 10 yrs. there I don't remember . :boots:

NRBQ.. yep.. know those guys.. you know Travis Chandler?.. Steve Shook?.. Incredible Casuals?

Sounds like ya lived it... so's.. how'd ya end up wit eagle scouts? ;)..
(just pullin your leg, Ed.. not peein in yer shoe :) )

an xfiles quote.....the one where the lone gunmen were killed.....
the gunman langly often wore a joey lives tshirt. This guy asks him who joey is......then tells him to get a real hero, he responds...

Langly: You want to know why Joey Ramone's my hero? 'Cause people like you never managed to grind him down. They never stole his spirit. He never gave in, never gave up, and never sold out. Right till his last breath. And he's not dead. Guys like that, they live forever

Thats another reason why we need a "Rockin with Tagga",

Scuppers thread, Friday nites. :hihi:

I saw the light ,, saw my limitations,, found roofing,, arms got humungus ,,put the sticks down , ,,No parenting skills but smart enough to get help .. awesome Scoutmaster and Sensei . Married a real good woman .. I keep the lights on .. :btu:

WOW.. Who Knew?

Rockin' JPI.... metalhead/hardcore/devilworshiper... :hihi:...;)

Thats beautiful ..

A buddy of mine was a huge Ramon fan...I went to a lot of Ramon shows. I probably saw The Ramons thirty times and every show was exactly the same except for intro. Now they're hailed as inovators - there has been more interest in them since the closing of CBGB's last week.

Joey Ramon: "Hey its really great to be back in ______ _____. Take it DeeDee."
DeeDee Ramon: "One! Two!Three! Four!"

BLAM, BLAM, BANG, BANG. Thirty two minute songs - a short break and thirty more.

My ears are still ringing.

Yeah, that what i'm talkin about. :beat: :grins:

I think its street music , more attitude and youth than technical playing ability. They were probably the first punk band to make it big as far as videos .Now they're nastalgic .. They had some catchy tunes.. Simple but, I still love hearing "I want to be sedated" or " Rock and Roll High School". Some kids listen to them now . I guess if you can stand the test of time, you did something right .

you nailed it Ed.. Garage Rock at it's purest form.. and they knew it.. DeeDee was once asked why he played so fast.. "band rule.. all songs no longer than 2 minutes".. Joey once said.. "Yeah we suck, but we rule at suck, don't like it, F*** you!".. they put on no airs at all.
And you are right, if they got longevity, they had something goin on.
I see Ramones bumper stickers on a lot of kids cars at the local High School.

Anybody get Howard TV?.. I understand he has all the old Ramone interviews & performances, unedited, from the old show, on the PPV list.

It certainly was raw. Early punk was as much a rejection of the music culture as it was of society.

Popular music in the pre-punk era was populated by musicians with a high level of virtuosity. Bands Led Zeppelin, Fleetwood Mac, Peter Frampton, etc, usually the musicians that made it were either prodigies, classically trained, or both. The talent required had a discriminating quality to it.

Punk said, “All you need is three chords and something to say.” Rap and Hip-Hop are offshoots of this social rejection; but without the three-chord prerequisite. They’ll run a beat track behind you and you can rhyme without the burden of music lessons. Punk taught us that style is substance.

Jim Carroll, wow a blast from the past how about Pop O Pies? "Bake those donuts with extra grease this batch is for the chief o police"
