i had a sub teacher who saw them, danzig era misfits, and DK with jello. you would never expect her to be into that stuff.

Never seen Minor Threat. They never played CBGBs as far as I know. I am old enough to have caught them though.

I wasn't really into the "scene" till I saw Bad Brains. It was so in my face I nearly shat myself. The feeling in the room. The way they played. I wish I could take you all back in a time machine. I rarely ever forget the way I felt that day.

Anyway, I tend to ramble in my old age. I wish I had, but nope. Ian was way too cool for NYC.

I would kill my sister to go back in time for these bands.

Which albums did Lyle play on? I have Pope On A Rope and it doesn't sound anything like his playing and I can't remeber if it says anything about him in the sleeve of the CD.

I believe he played their 84-88 era.

Thats the closest thing to a site I found for them. I haven't listened to all the albums, but I know there is a point where he was no longer in the band and you can tell the difference.

If ya saw me now, you would be surpised at me too. I'm such a fargin yuppy I love it!

Yeah but kids think I'm an idiot. At the Cro-Mags reuinion recently (or it may have been over a year) I was educatin' kids, and I had no choice but to go to the show in my work clothes. I got strange looks. Thankfully I'm a large uptight ginso. While I didn't want to mess up my expensive shoes in the pit, I still got there. Harley aged well. He's a farker for sure.

Yea but us old school fans are out there. Most of us conformed and are yuppy dirtbags, but can't say we weren't there!

how old are you?

[QUOTE=Operation Ιvy]how old are you?[/QUOTE]

I'm 32.

I was ohh.. Hmmm.. 12 or 13 when I saw Bad Brains. It was 1985? 86? Who remembers such things!

Yea but.. I spent a good 5 years attending hardcore matinees on Sundays at CBGBs. I didn't think it was anything special then. I saw lotsa great bands though.. All the old hardcore bands.. Sick of it All, Agnostic Front, Carnivore, Warzone, Youth of Today, Black Flag, Murphy's Law, Side by Side, Sheer Terror, Cro-Mags, Gorilla Biscuits, Bold, Token Entry.. etc etc.. I could go on.

Who wants to hear an old man ramble though eh? Shows were between 2 and 5 bucks. 3 to 5 bands used to play. No fights. No anger. All love. All unity. Then those bastards from the National Front used to come and try and recruit. Stupid Swervedriver. All their faults! Racism and hate. Infested our scene. Well, that and the record companies. Came in and signed Sick of it All and other bands. It was sad. Then the scene died. I learned a lot. Was fun.

Anyways, bye now! Time for my evening commute. I'll play some hardcore on the way home. I feel all nostalgic and what not. You made me sad. Bastard!

Awesome

thanks for doin this sk8skan. great job

No problem, it was rather easy.

you did one other one that was pretty good i think it was the dead kennedys but i might be wrong.

I did the DK one and Refused one. There's a whole list of bands done by board members in the IMPORTANT thread.

the dk one was good

The greatest resource on the forums. It goes way beyond just the rules.

Yeah but Ian hated the term emo when people started calling his bands after Minor Threat "emo". He said it was the stupidest thing he had ever heard.

i don't have any of minor threats music. i was gonna get a varukers cd, should i get minor threats discography instead?

Yes.

nice job :thumb:

[QUOTE=JmE]Your review's been added....
Good review, for definitely one of the most influential bands.[/QUOTE]


Added to what?

The list of Band Profiles. Read the rules thread, there is a whole bunch of them.

Ah ok. Over looked that.

minor threat is a good band and it's sad that they never got to release more then an hour of music... i wish i could've seen them... whatever, yeah i have their complete discography and it's awesome. probabably my favourite cd i have

[QUOTE=Sk8SkaNJ]Ian never ment it to turn into what it is today. He used it more of a metaphor to represent what he stood for at the time. To my knowledge he's not even edge.[/QUOTE]

Are you sure about that? I'm pretty sure Ian hasn't been doing drugs, alcohol etc. etc.

More stories! From what I read, there were supposedly fights all the time between the different crews of each city? And especially during the late 80s NYHC scene, it was like gangs going at it all the time so much that all the clubs were shut down?

Great band, I bought there dvd yesterday, yet to watch it as of yet...

I was present during the 90's in Brisbane. We had indie-punk scene........was never really that good though cept for the 'gurg.
