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?
Will do it more justice than me in the limited amount of time i have.

Lol, you could have a point, but we are always having to come over there with one invasion after another! plus you have yet to produce a decent Metal band 😉

that's true up to a point: r'n'r, r'n'b, soul, funk, jazz, punk all got their start in the USA.
but it is just as true to say that white America takes black American music and reinvents it. metal and punk being honorable exceptions.

Originally posted by robbie carrobiethe thing about good American metal bands (Big business, Melvins, High on Fire, Hell Shock, Sleep, Torche) is that they have influences other than just metal. Iron Maiden were great don't get me wrong, but move on.

Originally posted by StTitono, 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! 😛

Originally posted by robbie carrobieThe stooges still might have the extended solo every once in awhile, yeah i'll give you that, but the raw power(pun intended) of the cords cannot be denied as pure punk foundations. The First band in a genre argument is all but impossible, to much silly national pride(a funny thing too when talking about punk since it is more about deconstuction of those ties), genre definitions and such, but having said that... USA! USA! We create all! We're #1! 🙂
i was listening to those bands, MC5 and the early Stooges, yes there is something different going on there, but there is also still some vestiges from the hippy era.

Originally posted by BlackampStooges didn't really approach punk until Raw Power. They are both influences in their own way. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge Iggy fan.
Dolls didn't form until '71. Stooges had two albums out by then, and the Stooges were more punk and less glam than the Dolls.
