hehe , his beard amuses me , dont know why

Plasmatics/GG Allin/Ramones/Rancid/Social Distortion

I would say Dead Kennedys just because they won the poll on this forum....sorry if someone else posted something like this. I didn't want to read 10 pages.

The SexPistols kick Bootay

I'm a real n00b in terms of punk. I liked that God Save the Queen song from the Sex Pistols. Also, I'll give props to Rancid. They have a good bassist and bass is life. On their live CD, they played Maxwell Murder, and their vocalist said "Give it up for the greatest bassist ever, Matt Freeman!" Sometimes, it makes me think people live with their heads buried in the dirt - Freeman is good, but not that great.

Mike Watt, bassist for the Minutemen and various other projects it a far superior punk bassist than Matt Freeman both in terms of his playing ability and ability to make amazing basslines. I suggest you try that band. Good job living in New Zealand also.

Double Nickel's on the Dime is a garanteed must buy. :pimp:

Rancid,Nofx, Lars Frederiksen and the Barstads, Alkaline Trio, GBH

Ah ok. I was just looking at the tab for Maxwell Murder. It's fast yes. But it doesn't look that hard to play at all. Yeah, I'll check out Minutemen.
