The Official Dead Kennedys/Jello Biafra Thread (country, punk, albums)

[rise_above]

there was a dk thread but i thought it was about the dispute over jello. Holiday in Cambodia is a classic.

DK is just as popular as the pop-punk bands in circulation on MTV, I'm sure most of these so-called posers you refer to are listening to them.

Ois back *breakdances* but dont listen to anarchy doll she thinks sid vicious is better than joey ramone

Well, what can you say? There are so many of these self proclaimed "punk rockers" who spew out these shrines to typical, overly talked about punk "icons" like Joey and Sid Vicious, and at the same time insult MTV and mainstream fanbase, when they are just as popular (if not moreso) than most of the rock acts on television & radio. Being consistent is one thing, but attacking "popular" bands that are just as popular as your stylings is silly. I'm personally sick of people who think of the Pistols, and think of Vicious before everyone else. I'm sick of hearing about DK, and then people talking about Holiday in Cambodia. Black Flag, then it's Rollins. THe Ramones, then it's blizkrieg bop. I guess I'm missing the point here, but if you ask me, these people are missing the point moreso.

"Just music"? Well I don't know what I was thinking, I was under the impression this was a music forum. Well smack me in the face and call me stupid. But yeah, I'll let it go. Sometimes reading these threads/posts gives me too much stress. I'll let people have their fun.

I wasn't referring to DK as poser kids, you either mis read or mis understood me, I was talking abot poser kids in general,

Never said anywhere that Sid Vicious was better than Joey Ramone, however he is or was sexier, but that is my opinion...

I really wish that you would not hate all those because of their experience or age, instead of badmouthing ppl who have not had a chance to experience ALL that punk has to offer, why not offer to teach or provide samples of it...? I give everything posted on this site a spin, and I end up buying a new cd almost all the time from bands I found on here...

[hookers with machineguns]

^ Huh? When did I mention "age" or "experience"? When did I use the word "hate"? Read closely, I never used those words in that post. In laymen's terms, I was saying that there's more to these bands then minor facts that people probably pick up from Hot Topic. I personally thought it was the best post I've made in this forum. I never post with hostility in mind, but my judgment was that you along with some others just simply don't know what you are talking about. Sorry if I judged wrong, but you and some of your peers have failed yet to prove me wrong. If you are serious about learning about new bands, then maybe you should stop obsessing over the typical ones that everyone talks about over and over again. Im not trying to make enemies here, that's just my opinion. If you don't like it, then don't read/reply to my posts.

[Urban Hat€monger ?]

Their first couple of albums were OK , but they lost the plot big time. One of the things I liked about them was they were one of the very few American bands to actually get what punk was, It wasn`t about getting a mohawk & shouting over 3 chords.It was using the music as an escape & to show the world the issues that affect you & the hypocracy of everything & I think the Dead Kennedys did that probably better than anyone.
Which makes it such a shame that by the mid 80s they were having to write songs about MTV & giving posters away with their albums full of male genitalia for shock value.
