This is a bullshit statement. Here's why Basically all of this shit is a derivative of beethoven or some other dude that's older than Jesus. I'd hate to tell you guys this, but being the bad ass guitar player that I am, there are only eight notes in music. Every band out there is playing variations and combinations of those notes, In reality there all playing the same shit. If there hasn't been anything new since the seventies then there really hasn't been anyhting new since the begining of time. In reality the only new form of music is back in the caveman days when them there missing links were beating on rocks with dinosaur bones , and even there copying somebody. New music is when somebody plays a song that no one has played before.
Don't even bother talking punk if your not going to mention The Exploited, G.B.H., The Circle Jerks, Minor Threat, the Faction, and the list goes on and on and on....
Hardcore never meant more than it does today, It's the same shit. I grew up going to hardcore shows in the 80's and there we're the same nobs then that there are today. Your just getting older and you think the young kids are posers, we thought the same thing about you. People that truly like Hardcore are the same as people that liked hardcore back the.

Yup, and I'm sorry to hear that you will miss it. Once again they reaffirmed that they are the best large venue band I have ever seen. The visuals on this tour were unreal, I was sober but I felt like I was stoned...
I snapped a couple of shots with my phone. They took a break at the one hour mark and the four of them just sat on the riser in front of the crowd and chilled. Maynard took a lighter out of his pocket and held the flame in the air. Everyone else in the arena followed.
and laser beamzzzzz!

just to deviate from the standard rock/goth/punk genre that everyone in the 18-24 bracket seems to like...

Fuckin' A. I remember when I was in high school, and Earth Crisis played here. My friend Nick and I were down there 3 hours before the show started, just waiting in the back to meet Karl Beuchner. When they showed up, they hung out with us behind the venue for like an hour, just talking about all kinds of random shit. They did a shout out to us before they closed the show with "Ecocide", too. Greatest day of my life (at the time). :DLeave a comment:

at least i'm not the only "oldish" guy on this fourm that remembers old hardcore, when the bands used to come and hang out with you before their set.
you like/remember THE BUSINESS. went line dancing with mickey fitz and steve at rocken' rodeo a long time ago when they were staying at my friends house after the show. that was kinda image shattering to see the singer and guitarist of a hardcore OI band dancing in a line to american country.Leave a comment:

Nothing new since 1977? Thats a bold statement..... I mean you can always compare apples to apples....Leave a comment:

I will listen to any influential band, most of them coming from the seventies (and I am not speaking about hippies and thick smoke). Anything after is just based on this period.
In the early 1970s, Kraftwerk literally invented electronic music with a beat. Afrika Bambaata copied them and created "Planet Rock" an integral copy of Kraftwerk's Trans Europe Express. Guess who started Hip Hop and all the B movement? Last Poets started rappin' in the very early seventies ("In God we trust"). George Clinton's Parliament and Funkadelic were also the base for today's funk.
The American Iggy Pop and the Stooges, as well as NewYork Dolls precluded the British punk movement on which was based the Grunge era and whatever followed. Nothing new came since 1977 in rock music.
When I hear today's music, I can easily tell it is another version of old music. Nothing gets created, nothing gets lost...Leave a comment:

Fugazi is good.
the punk movement is def. dead though, "good" music came out of it. What I think is cool about the punk movement was that the artists weren't required to be "good". It was supposed to be music of the common man, more about the art than music.Leave a comment:

Snapcase - Strife - Earth Crisis - Cast Iron Hike - Darkest Hour - The Dillinger Escape Plan - Fugazi - Himsa - Warzone - Cause for Alarm - 88 Fingers Louie - Sick of it AllLeave a comment:
