Ah REAL punk. I remember the days. Any band now like Fall Out Boy or Billy Talent who think that they are doing something raw should check these bands out to find out how it was really done.
ReplyDeleteSo sad that the first pic is what Johnny Rotten called “the Perry Como of Punk”.
ReplyDeleteAwesome pics, Ent. Henry Rollins is probably still wearing those same shorts.
ReplyDeleteAnd ITA, 11:01, My Chemical Fallout Boy and all his toy friends can go suck a dick. (Oh, I think he beat me to it!)
Viva Punk!!! Punk was awesome. I always regretted I was a bit too young back then to truly enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteThanks, ENT for posting this--love it.

Funny you mention it -- Teenage Head just played here in Vancouver. I won one of their albums at a sock hop back in high school. Heh.
I feel like I should know who that girl with Billy Idol is...she seems so familiar.
ReplyDeleteYeah they just played here in Edmonton. Sadly I couldn't make it to their show.
ReplyDeleteYou won a record at a sock hop? A sock hop? Wow. I thought sock hops only happened on Happy Days. Now I'm really envious.
Look at sexy Billy Idol, wow'ers
ReplyDeletegod, I didn't realize Billy was so old. i was 10 in '79. Still hot.
ReplyDeleteJohnny Boy = my other self.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! The New York Dolls played in Auckland recently and I missed it...totally gutted!
ReplyDeleteThat's not Siouxsie Sioux with Billy Idol is it?
ReplyDeleteIs Clay Aiken the secret love child of John Lydon? Seriously, they look like twins...
