Punk band taking a bigger piss on their legacy
 
The question is which Punk band is taking a bigger piss on their legacy.

Black Flag: As you know, there's two different versions touring around this year. The Charles Dukowski(sp?) version is focusing mainly on the US, while the Greg Ginn version is playing mainly Europe, but their first US show is at Muddy Roots, which is an Underground Country and Bluegrass festival.

Misfits: For the past I don't know how long, the only long term member of the band in the group has been Jerry Only. I knew something was awry when, during the 25th anniversary tour, they were touring with two members of the Ramones and Robo. It was the last tour featuring Michael Graves (Conservative punk extraordinaire and reasonable replacement for Danzig) and Doyle. They've since been touring with former Black Flag guitarist Dez Cadena and Murphy's Law Drummer Chupacabra.

Other: Name them and their sins.

Only Black Flag I really listen to is the Rollins stuff so I'll say misfits.

whiteyford 02-16-2013 05:27 PM

Or do the offspring count? :shifty:

As a longtime Offspring fan it saddens me to see 2 or so throwaway garbage songs on each album but Days Go By from last year was a decent offering. For this it HAS to be the Misfits.

It's pretty punk to do whatever the fuck you want, so neither.

Swiss Ultimate 02-16-2013 06:24 PM

Green Day. lol

Bad News Gertner 02-16-2013 08:06 PM

Misfits cause everything post Danzig sucked

FakeLaser 02-17-2013 03:24 PM

dunno, kinda cool to have the opportunity to see the original Black Flag lineup

ron the dial 02-17-2013 05:38 PM

no, you sold out!

Kane Knight 02-21-2013 09:46 AM

Do the Buzzcocks existing count?

The Rogerer 02-21-2013 02:55 PM

Do Blink 182 count?

whiteyford 02-21-2013 03:57 PM

I like the new Blink stuff :'(

Curd 02-21-2013 04:39 PM

I chose Meat Puppets because their bassist was jailed in 2002 for refusing to pay a damned parking ticket he got when using a handicapped space. The police report alleged that he also flipped off a granny, but that is anecdotal... :)

Curd 02-21-2013 04:40 PM

I almost said Misfits due to their 2005 "big band" orchestral covers of their songs, but I now appreciate it.

As punk?

The Condor 02-21-2013 08:24 PM

Blink is more power-pop but could be described as punk I suppose. Not like they sold out or changed drastically though, they've pretty much been the same for their existence.

How about Bad Religion signing with columbia records after years of diy attitude.

Henry Rollins pwned this thread.

It's their legacy not yours.

bigdaddysuperfreak 02-28-2013 11:28 AM

Mr. Rollins does make a valid point and it actually supports my comment. Bad Religion changed their sound and signed with Columbia records in order to make money.

The Condor 02-28-2013 11:40 AM

Ever read any of Rollins free writing? I own about 5 of his books but may have outgrown some of them. Bought them at the end of high school, beginning of college when young men go through that "fuck it" phase. It's alright stuff

Vastardikai 02-28-2013 12:39 PM

I actually thought about that video right after I posted this.

I have no problem with Jerry Only wanting to make money. It's his right and the guy has to eat somehow and Steroids don't come cheap. I just hate that he's passing off the band with Punk Rock All Stars as the Misfits. Mainly due to the fact that the primary creative force behind the Misfits was Danzig, though I could buy them with Graves and the bare minimum Doyle.

I definitely want to see the Greg Ginn version of Black Flag.

Oddly enough, the only original Crowbar guy in the band is Kirk Windstein, but I'm fine with that due to him being the primary creative force behind the band.

Since Hank won the thread, it's now about Best Punk Bands of all Time. My entry?

Man, tween girls fought for years to call them punk. Have times changed that much?

Strange, as they've never been on Columbia.

ron the dial 02-28-2013 04:04 PM

and they immediately changed sounds on their second album so they've obviously been pissing all over themselves since the beginning.

Drakul 02-28-2013 04:08 PM

Can't say I'm a huge fan of punk but even I knew there was something strange when I saw Johnny Rotten doing those butter adverts.

Everybody thinks every band was better back in the day. It's what they are familiar with.

whiteyford 03-01-2013 01:31 AM

We can all agree that Henry Rollins is great though.

That's not really true.
