Era defining .Really well written one of my two songs by gen x. Later he defined an era again and again .Rebel yell defined the grasping indulgent eighties
@johnnyriggsisdead - it's from a documentary film called "D.O.A.", made by Lech Kowalski and released in 1980. Great film, well worth tracking down if you can.
Hey, Sven, billy is always great. Obviously 30+ years ago, he was better. That goes for any person though. Actually, billy matured better than others, and his music is still up to date and top notch.
As for encores, I saw him cover The Who, Who are You, in Toledo in 2005, that was incredible. I've seen him three times, twice as an MTV pubescent in the mid 80's and then in 2005, damn good stuff.
I totally agree with what this bandmember says about the recordings..so tru..to clean can be a bit tabu..i think grungy was a good thing especially for Billy at that time. I use to think Billy was goin to be like Sid Vicious, but actually he was a smart guy and did really well, and got off drugs.
Heard this on SLC Punk. Amazing movie, even more amazing song! The volume nob just becomes pointless because you can NEVER play this song loud enough! Long live Punk!
this song is such a classic!still gives me chills.If I was in Generation X and wrote this song I would be like "omg this song fucking roolz!i'm so glad we wrote this!"lol

Do YOU miss the 70s when Punk rock was at it's highest!
I'm starting a new campaign called God Save the Punk, to bring back the popularity Punk deserves!
Screw Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga, it's all about Ramones and Sex Pistols!
Join my campaign by sending me a message. C-mon all you punk rockers out there!
Let's bring back Punk rock together!
