Originally posted by robbie carrobie i see, ok noobster my friend, I stand corrected! 🙂 what did he find there ? was it a definitive punk sound or was it too early in the day to state anything with certainty? were these bands that StTito mentioned, the ramones, stooges etc playing there?
He was also the manager of the early punk band New York Dolls, who released their debut in 1973.
Originally posted by robbie carrobie no, its impossible once you have tasted the difference. its like trying to sell rice wine to someone who likes single malt whiskey and expecting them to like it. i like my metal heavy, but not black, pure and not mixed with glam! 😛
But sake rocks😵
Anyway I stick with MC5, Bad Religion, Dead K's, Stiff Lil' Fingers, AntiNowhere League and GBH Charged when I don;t hear jazz😵

i remember watching a documentary about the making of the album Nevermind, and the record company was hoping for sales the same as Sonic youths Album at the time, my goodness, when Nirvana knocked Michael Jackson from the top it was a special moment for me!

there was an interview with cobain where he was basically saying he tried to rip off the pixies when he was writing 'smells like teen spirit'.
Good ol' franck black, the fat f***

that is a special song, i thought it was about his perceptions of the spinelessness of his generation, 'its fun to lose and to pretend', although I myself am aware of the contrast between egotism and the quest for humility, the latter being a strength rather than a perceived weakness.
what do you think happened to him in the end, i remember at the time reading interviews in NME and Melody Maker, saying that he had a sleeping disorder, I bought it at the time, being naive. do you think that he had betrayed the punk ethos by becoming mainstream? i do not for one minute think that he was so naive, for he perhaps held a conflict between his success and his ethics. Although in the end he appears to have felt like a performing monkey and could not handle the betrayal.
