Devon Posted October 11, 2002 Posted October 11, 2002 what is your favorite punk bands? mine are flogging molly, gob, afi, reel big fish, andrew wk, good charlite, alkaline trio and audiovent.
Reflection Posted October 11, 2002 Posted October 11, 2002 Blink 182..I like a few of their songs. Not much of a punk fan though.
Devon Posted October 11, 2002 Author Posted October 11, 2002 no offence but i wouldent concider them punk. i think thier more pop
Reflection Posted October 11, 2002 Posted October 11, 2002 Lol...I wasn't too sure either. Thought they were a pop/rock band also. A version of the Backstreet Boys with instruments.
Devon Posted October 11, 2002 Author Posted October 11, 2002 lol. backstreet boys are the most punk band ever!
9mm Avenger Posted October 11, 2002 Posted October 11, 2002 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Reflection [/i] [B]Nick Carter has formed a 'rock' band. [/B][/QUOTE] Right...And by "rock", you mean "Happy Crappy Poser Rock, Sung By a Talentless Loser who didn't get enough face time, and made his own band!"...Sorry, I really don't like pop...

[/B][/QUOTE] So I'm not the only one who thinks that...
Juu Posted October 11, 2002 Posted October 11, 2002 [color=deeppink] [size=1]I don't consider Blink 182 pop at all. Not even 1%... I'm a pretty big punk fan, although really what I prefer is something I can dance to. Blink 182 is definitely [i]not[/i] pop... I prefer Linkin Park, (I just got Reanimation, yes, took me long enough...) Avril Lavenge *dodges tomatoes* some of Green Day... and some of G.O.D.-Korean Band. They're all pretty good, and I'm sure michelle branch belongs in pop... er.. I think.. Anyway, she's kewl too ^^[/color] [/size]
Semjaza Posted October 11, 2002 Posted October 11, 2002 Obviously Avril, Blink 182 and the like are arguable. Linkin Park is definately not punk though, there is no other way to take that - they just aren't lol (if that's even what you meant, I can't tell :)). I personally don't like any of those, but to each their own. I didn't like Blink 182 even when they were lesser known... their sound never did anything for me, so I'm not one of these turncoats that hates them for their popularity. Greenday is decent, and Offspring is tolerable. My favorite punk band is a local Chicago band called Apocalypse Hoboken. They are kind of like Screeching Weasel, except even less user friendly. It's all supposed to be tongue in cheek though. The band broke up last year, but had a sort of "final" show a few months ago. They sold a box set at the show, which I of course missed. I picked one up off eBay the other day, and I was so excited to get it... But at the same time I was really sad considering this is the [i]last[/i] thing they will ever put out. Sucks to see your favorite band basically die. Otherwise, I like all sorts of punk/whatever... AFI, No Use For a Name, Assorted Jellybeans, Mi6, Bad Religion, Millencolin, Useless ID, Ramones, Ozma, Goldfinger, Antifreeze, Satanic Surfers, Ataris, Sex Pistols, 88 Fingers Louie, Rise Against, Ignite, Model Citizen, Voodoo Glow Skulls, Jughead's Revenge, Blue Meanies and so on and so forth. I'm currently working on making a shirt design for a band called Ten Foot Pole... It's part of a small contest, hopefully I'll win haha.
wrist cutter Posted October 11, 2002 Posted October 11, 2002 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Devon [/i] [B]i think thier more pop [/B][/QUOTE] They aren't pop, I'll tell you that. They aren't pop-rock either. I happen to like both those genres to an extent and I don't think they'd fit. Let's label them "pseudo-punk".
vegeta rocker Posted October 11, 2002 Posted October 11, 2002 pseudo punk is a good label. They aren't quite pop but don't like up to Rancid like punk so i guess it fits. so good p-punk would be new found glory a simple plan gold finger blink 182 green day alkaline trio sugar cult
Devon Posted October 11, 2002 Author Posted October 11, 2002 ok. i got disagree with alkaline trio. i think they are pure punk. i think they are pure underground punk. but lets not get into that.
Rancid Posted October 11, 2002 Posted October 11, 2002 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Devon [/i] [B]what is your favorite punk bands? mine are flogging molly, gob, afi, reel big fish, andrew wk, good charlite, alkaline trio and audiovent. [/B][/QUOTE] [COLOR=darkblue]First off Anrew WK is definatly NOT punk, second Good "Charlite" is not punk either, they are just the same as Blink 182. Gob some of there old stuff was awesome. Alkaline Trio is alright to an extent. AFI is pretty good. Audiovent is garbage plain and simple garbage.[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkblue]Thrid favorite topics are NOT allowed please read the rules...[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkblue]I guess I'll tell you anyways. I liek the more hard stuff like Rancid, The Distillers, Anti Flag, The Hunns, The Casualties, Operation Ivy, Satanic Surfer and many many more. Anyways just remember that favorite topics aren't allowed.[/COLOR]
Guest Morph Posted October 11, 2002 Posted October 11, 2002 Lets see... AFI, Minior Threat, Rancid, MxPx, NoFx, Good Charolette, Anti Flag, Black Flag, Flogging Molly, NUFAN, and Juliana Theory... Those are just a few of what I know, I'm a big fan of punk and any metal. Well now.... Lets just set the record straight, Blink 182, Linkin Park[btw Reanimation was crap, it sounds like RAP], Green Day, and any other main stream so called "punk" [b]Don't Hate, Just Correct Me If You Think I'm Wrong, But Do It In a Mature Way Please....[/b]
Semjaza Posted October 11, 2002 Posted October 11, 2002 I think you guys need to differentiate between favorite topics that are like lists and one word posts. Stuff with actual conversation is generally alright, and that's what's going on here. I guess whoever is in charge here can do what they want though. I just hope this doesn't turn into yet another "I hate this band and this band isn't ____" thread again.
Manic Webb Posted October 11, 2002 Posted October 11, 2002 Punk Rock. Now here's a genre that's fully got its act together. You're all arguing on which punk bands are really punk bands. Anyway, I seem to listen to more of these "pseudo-punk" bands.
Rancid Posted October 11, 2002 Posted October 11, 2002 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Hybrid [/i] [B]Lets see... AFI, Minior Threat, Rancid, MxPx, NoFx, Good Charolette, Anti Flag, Black Flag, Flogging Molly, NUFAN, and Juliana Theory... Those are just a few of what I know, I'm a big fan of punk and any metal. Well now....

Devon Posted October 11, 2002 Author Posted October 11, 2002 does it really matter how the bands are spelled? it is just who you like is all i ask. and i guess punk IS punk
wrist cutter Posted October 11, 2002 Posted October 11, 2002 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Devon [/i] [B]does it really matter how the bands are spelled? [/B][/QUOTE] Yes, it does. People have died for spelling "hide" with a capital H.
wrist cutter Posted October 11, 2002 Posted October 11, 2002 hide is the greatest guitartist/musician ever.
Devon Posted October 11, 2002 Author Posted October 11, 2002 and how did people loose thier life from spelling it wrong?
wrist cutter Posted October 11, 2002 Posted October 11, 2002 Because he always spelled it with a lowercase H. So, incredibly anal people such as myself kill those who spell it with a capital >_<
Rancid Posted October 11, 2002 Posted October 11, 2002 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by wrist cutter [/i] [B]Yes, it does. People have died for spelling "hide" with a capital H. [/B][/QUOTE] [COLOR=darkblue]Oooh that hurts Devon, I've never heard of hide. What kind of music does he play?[/COLOR]
