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?

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! 😛
Anyway I stick with MC5, Bad Religion, Dead K's, Stiff Lil' Fingers, AntiNowhere League and GBH Charged when I don;t hear jazz😵

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.
