Re: punk rock
ok how come no one here has said anything about rancid if they are not punk who is apart from ramones and the clash. greenday i would say are a punk band as are nofx, there is a word in the english dictionary and that is EVOLUTION!!!!!!! Bands like the ramones were the first band that made punk noticable to the masses , which then got uk punk bands noticed and signed to record lables.Greenday evoloved from the ramones using simple 3 cords song structure, if you play guitar you would see the structure of ramones songs and greenday songs are the same, but as time has gone by greenday have evoloved into the great band they are today, still pushing the envolope and not caring what people think about them, that is what punk is about, doing what you want when you want and not giving a fuck about anyone else.
Back to Rancid they are punk and will always be punk they have never signed to a major label, they did have the chance to but started there own label and released there albums on that. There are some really good street punk bands over here in the uk the likes of Capdown and five knucle. So in conclusion evolution is the big word here, as these bands grow older so do there views on the world change. And at the moment with all this war crap going on its good bands like greenday and nofx are still around to piss people off( only wish rage agaisnt the machine were still around).
sorry there is alot to read but it had to be said. |
