youth crew
 

whats the most influential youth crew band and why

Youth of Today.
'Nuff said.

Gorilla Biscuits-- no reason why.

har har har I'm so funny.

Youth of Today or GB.

YoT restated that a positive outlook is all you need, GB reenforced it.

I think those 2 would be the answer.

GB and chain of strenght

[QUOTE=noneed66]GB and chain of strenght[/QUOTE]**** Chain Of Strength. Those guys talked so much about edge and they broke.

CoS broke?? That's hilarious... didn't YoT break as well?


Even though I'm not edge, I find it funny when people who rep it really hard break it.

Hell, Ian Mackaye is a ****ing smack addict now.

Joke?

[QUOTE=A-Life-Less-Plagued]Joke?[/QUOTE]No joke. A club owner in Dallas whom I've spoken with a few times told me a story about when he snuck out of his house and hitched his way to see a Fugazi show and he said Ian was all cracked out and stuff along with being drunk.

YoT is probably more important, but much more people listen to GB.

Wtf...They did? When?

[QUOTE=oopyman]Wtf...They did? When?[/QUOTE]The singer and a couple others did. No idea when it happened, but now they like getting drunk and ****. I should goto Pamona, find them, and start playing True Till Death,

Nothing To Hide is a greeeeeeeat album.

Yeah. They're a greeeeeeeat band. Nothing to Hide is just overall better than Difference Between, but Difference Between has a few songs that really stand out.

Bold ;)

:lol:

Chain of Strength broke edge in the 80's, fellas. Not only that, but they claimed immediately afterwards that they never were an edge band to begin with and that people took "True Till Death" out of context.

Are you sure about them breaking in the 80s? They just got done recording The One Thing That Still Holds True in the early 90s.

Youth of Today wrote the song "Youth Crew", so it's obviously them. All of their lyrics were based off of the same positive-outlook themes.

Some other influential youth crew bands (both old and newer):

Chain of Strength
Gorilla Biscuits
Floorpunch
Holding On
Carry On
Side By Side
Shark Attack
Rain On The Parade
Damage
Wide Awake
Project-X
Fastbreak
Count Me Out
Shelter (sort of)

Ten Yard Fight
XfilesX
Battery

Hahaha, exactly my point. They broke edge before they even started touring for the record. In fact, that's why so many people are angry with them. It's the same thing with Carry On... They broke edge on tour and continued to play their edge songs to edge kids all the while going back to their van and drinking beer.

Hahah, I don't think I would call xfilesx a youth crew band. Still an awesome band though.

Actually Ian Mackaye never did broke edge. Said so in person to many interviews over the years. People make **** up and tell everyone. Case closed.

And Carry On never broke edge. The singer of the band did. Corey, Todd, and Greg from Carry On never broke edge.

Good job on bringing back a year old thread.

Either way, what makes a band edge is usually the singer, being that they would have lyrics about edge and whatnot. If the singer breaks, then so does the bands image of being straight edge. A band isn't a person who can literally break edge, it's merely breaking the image they once had from using lyrics about it.

Although, Carry On still rules on record, so I don't care.

Carry On still rule, but it's [I]kind of[/I] hypocritical to say all that sh[SIZE="2"]i[/SIZE]t then reveal you have a cocaine addiction.

Whether or not they broke edge, ALLP is still in my top 5 favourite albums of all time.

Since when was xFilesx a youth crew band?

Isn't there a website to see where all the people are who broke edge?

That would be a website to behold.
