"With the greatest of respect, and no offence intended... Even the oldest of the previous posters was still only 8 years old when Never Mind The Bollocks came out. Old punks? In spirit, maybe, but you weren't there." Agreed Colin .. kinda what I said in my post … yes I missed the ‘first wave’ but still managed to see many great punk bands in the early 80’s | |||

"With the greatest of respect, and no offence intended... Even the oldest of the previous posters was still only 8 years old when Never Mind The Bollocks came out. Old punks? In spirit, maybe, but you weren't there." Thing is punk didn't start and end with Sex Pistols, so if you weren't wherever "there" was in 76/77 it doesn't mean you couldn't be a punk. There are still young kids today forming bands and playing various form of punk music. | |||

I was 11 in 77..I bought my first record..sex pistols.. holidays in the sun then..I probably don't qualify as a proper old punk..as I never went down the Roxy..saw the 100 club punk fest..but I probably have some old punk credentials..😹 | |||

"Death - a 3 piece from Detroit formed in the early 70's invented (for want of a better word) what we now think of as "punk". Sure The Stooges and MC5 laid the foundation but they were garage rock really. New York Dolls were a glam rock band, they just couldn't play quite as well as other more accomplished bands. But, yeah, if you want to hear where it all started before Ramones and Pistols and Damned etc... check out Death PS - if searching don't confuse them with the Floridian death metal pioneers of the same name! " Death started off as a funk band and was inspired by other rock bands to head off in a more heavier direction. They evolved just like the stooges did from one thing to another. | |||

I've alway thought that punk and hip hop were spawned from the same ideology snd inspired each other " I try not to get negative about today’s music and always looking for new bands and artists but it’s nothing like the 80s is it? We had things like punk, thrash and death metal , New York new wave scene, 1st Ska Revival/2-Tone Records, punk and reggae was fusing & Malcolm McLaren who invented the sex pistols was importing Rap & Breakdance into the UK from New York. I remember seeing pirate copies of Electro 1 on cassette for sale on markets | |||

"I’m 60 so I was 13 in 1977. I missed the early days but loved The Buzzcocks and The Undertones. I’ve lost count the number of times I’ve seen them live although now The Buzzcocks is just Steve Diggle. I still have my original Never mind the Bollocks album signed by Johnny Rotten." Love the Buzzcocks - so many anthems. | |||

The bizarre thing is Death from Detroit created "punk rock" in the early 1970's and Death from Florida created "death metal" in the late 80's and both genres are still going fine. | |||

Absolutely! Hindsight is a wonderful thing of course. Like you say it really doesn't matter. My fave of all is The Nile Song by Pink Floyd - is that the first "grunge" song??? Or maybe call it "punk rock" even??? Its louder and more raucous than what had gone before, that's for sure. I always think the inference for any fellow music geeks reading is that the two Death bands are "fully formed" in their respective sounds as opposed to being an influence as such. It fascinates me though! | |||

"With the greatest of respect, and no offence intended... Even the oldest of the previous posters was still only 8 years old when Never Mind The Bollocks came out. With the greatest respect I was 12 when that came out and by 1980 aged 15 I had my first band. I've played in bands ever since. I'm not into mohawks, studded leather and bandage straps anymore obviously but that punk spirit and hatred of authority has never ever gone away. Old punks? In spirit, maybe, but you weren't there." | |||

"Best punk song ever??" Far too many geat songs to choose one, and if I did I'd change my mind tomorrow. White Man In Hammersmith Palais by The Clash springs to mind, but then The Serenade Is Dead by Conflict has as well. Need to go and listen to both now. | |||

"Best punk song ever??" One is anti social by skrewdriver...but you'll never find it on any punk compilations today..as they went on to be a white power band..but in 1977 they had a couple of singles and an album on Chiswick records and even a John peel session..anti social has everything you want from a great punk song.. there's a whole host of others to..but it's definitely a song to add to a great punk songs album... | |||

"Late 80s early 90s Thrash and Death metal head "Same here. Saw the pistols at a festival in 92 along with a tin of other bands, everything from skunk anansie, Bowie to bjork & massive attack. No, I wasn't there, but punk, ska, etc holds a good place in my heart. | |||

"In my experience.. the folk who bang on about being real punks have never bought a record since 1980. They might go to see SLF once a year" Exactly. I’m really not interested in seeing bands long past their prime. Trotting out the same old stuff to the same old audiences trying desperately to replicate their youth. I would rather go and see a new up and coming new band or artist. Might raise the average age of the audience but that way you are not living in the past. | |||

I don't think old bands are trying to replicate their youth ( well, maybe some are) but everyone needs to earn a living so playing in a band has got to be better than getting up for graft at 6 in the morning. I go to loads of gigs and the vast majority of people that have their night out at The Damned or SLF are never seen at smaller gigs watching new punk bands. | |||

I'm hoping we've got a good few years before then but no doubt it's heading that way. The dew drop inn has gone.
