yeah i want to start a punk band. I want to be like the sex pistols or the ramones. todays music is horrible. Time to start the punk again
hmm. but those bands were far more horrible than most of today music. ramones less than the sex pistols, they are truely terrible. there is great music still, you just have to find it. "punk" music stinks unless you're 13 and your parents are keeping you down, then you can use it as a cheap outlet for your feelings.
Can you play an instrument? No. Can you sing close to in tune? No Well you checked out here's your leather jacket and all black ensemble and your spiked wrist band. Oh wait I almost forgot your guitar, you're going to need to hold it on stage.
How about a Post-Punk band, such as Joy Division, Early U2, Echo and the Bunnymen or Teardrop Explodes?
Punk has been done. Either you need to bring something new to the table along those lines and be REALLY good(highly unlikely) or just do your own damn thing. You can still use punk as a base but add something totally new to it. Else, just become a Clash or Ramones cover band, theres nothing anyone can do thats much better than them(in terms of punk ofcourse).
Wanting to be punk and telling the world you want to be punk is about the most un-punk thing in the world you can do.
Re: Re: i want to start a punk band who cares leave the kid alone if wanting to play some punk funk gets him/her to pick up a guitar and maybe even learn some music then super. who cares what you call your music as long as you enjoy playing it.
Re: Re: Re: i want to start a punk band This is exactly my point, actually. If you read my post again, you'll see that "Wanting" is italicized and it's for a reason. I'm not telling the kid to not play punk. Rather, I'm telling the kid to stop wanting to play punk and just do it.
