You.
Yes you, with the hoodie on and the really big key-chain and jeans that you will never grow into, stop piercing your face and come here a second.
I know you think those 3-chord "Chugga Chugga Chugga" bands are really hip and "with it", but you need to learn your history.
Before you can call yourself a skater or a punk-rock fan, learn your history.
I refer to the stuff that gave birth to these 3-piece US bands with nice tattoos and amusing videos.
I refer, mainly, to the almighty Suicidal Tendencies.
You've never heard of them, but you should have.
California band that created "Skate-Punk" music and set me on the road to rock I travel today.
Go get their albums, get all of them, or at least get "Institutionalized" and see how it should be done.
With songs like "Possessed to Skate" and "Can't Bring Me Down" you will hear the genesis of all these little boys leaping about today and spitting everywhere.
Please, go download at least "Possessed to.." and "Can't Bring Me Down" and witness the birth of your fashion statement.
And they're still going today.
Mike Muir, Rocky George, Robert Truijillo, Mike Clark and Danny Somethingorother, these guys made the soundtrack to their lives.
I got into them at college and never looked back.
And Anthrax, SOD, The Ramones...but mainly Suicidal Tendencies,
I went from Iron Maiden straight to Suicidal and bypassed the hair-metal genre (Poison, Motley Crue, Little Angels etc) and I'm all the better for it.
From Suicidal, I went into the hardcore/thrash/death side of things. If it wasn't brutal then I wasn't interested.
Deicide (Slipknot are N-Sync compared to Glen Benton et al), Obituary, Carcass, Bolthrower, Napalm Death...oh the memories of being at College and having long hair.
And then, in the midst of my metal-mayhem, I heard Faith No More doing Epic.
Funky, still pretty hard, but it rocked. And it bore my musical career, buying some drums and playing at The Square in front of my mates.
We sucked,but at the time we thought we owned the world.
And then I branched out into hip-hop (always had been a fan, but shunned it during my foray into METAL!!! territory.)
Then Sepultura came along with "Chaos AD" and turned me back onto noisy music. Then Fudge Tunnel led me to Biohazard and through them I discovered Clutch.
The almighty, god-like Clutch.
And through all of this divergent musical travelling, I remained true to my upbringing up of Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Captain Beefheart and classical.

A brief musical journey through 10 years, which is why I look at bands like Sum 41, Blink 182, Slipknot etc and think "Not bad, but it's been done so much better" and smile indulgently as 14yr olds think they've discovered skateboards, piercings, tattoos and getting mashed on White Lightning/Newkie Brown down the park.
I'll be 30 in 2 years time, and I'll still be listening to Suicidal Tendencies, Sepultura, Clutch, Gorecki, Tom Waits, The Temptations, Tina Turner, Shirley Bassey, Schubert and loving every single CD I buy.
Music is fantastic and music will provide me with a future outside the box.
ROCK AND ROLL!!!!!!!!

grrrrrrrr me hate's those little punk/grunger wannabes! You ask them about a grat band and they are like - who?
This punk stuff is getting to popular and needs to be stopped, I can't stand it it's turning into the new garage!
Anyway, I got some Suicidal Tendencies and I agree that the old stuff is ALOT better. I can't stand those Califonian voices and basic drumming!
Bring back the well composed - please!

Yeah suicidal tendencies rock! But you do know their song 'cyco vision' was on Tony Hawks Skater (the 1st one) so more people have heard them (if not heard OF them) than you'd think. I was just listening to 'Freedumb' and 'Cyco Vision' earlier today!
I like punk rock music and not the nu-metal stuff, though some of it is ok, it rarely has the meaning that punk has. The problem with many of these kids is they have no idea of where their music came from. I'm into the likes of Greenday and offspring (not blink or sum41 tho) but I also like stuff like Minor Threat, Bad Religion, Dead Kennedys, and I'm more and more trying to get into 80's UK Hardcore, like UKsubs, and Varukers,etc.
There is so much stuff which has been popularised, and I don't mean has sold out or anything, but the music has just lost its edge, the vocals lost their feeling and passion. I like bands who still retain that kind of punk rock fire.

Where do Feeder come into this? :-)
CD Player, player, player
Anyway..
Now I don't wear all the gear or get the piercings and so on but I have heard Suicidal Tendencies and Sepultura's work and I can say that they are at least worth downloading especially if you havn't heard them before, I can't remember the name of the song but (It was probably one of those you mentioned) but it was a great tune!
Oh and it's Friday so all those 14 year olds with their baggy jeans on will be out drinking mank tonight, be home for 11 Jimmy!
