Seen the dk's in august of 1983 in new Zealand in Auckland .on Broadway was the theatre.big place.I was in lax wen my bro who took me said hey there's some of ur friends.fuckin DK's in line rite ahead of me.talked with Eric(jello) on the long plane ride over.interesting man.he told me bout gig. They played 2 nights opening for n.z. no tag.huge crowds.crowd was alot tamer than in l.a.gigs.dk's didn't go on till 1 or 2 in the morning.2nd nite show sum skins started talking shit to jello
Punk never died, it evolved in to post-hardcore and then eventually in to metalcore. to stand out of the crowd when you are new you half to be different and thats why genres do stay the same. if you listen to metalcore there is still an essence of punk but just harder and faster
@KingxJamie Punk music died because the mainstream and popular culture exploited the Punk Look, Anger, and Attitude. They watered it down, bastardized it, and later, moved against it (demonized it) when they found that it was not to their interests of success. Punk, real punk, is not dead, we're just all old now, we sleep alot more!
@ReVisionPhoto The ideology is not dead at all! We just don't have much to do against stupid people but kill them and try to fuck the sistem. Most things are kept inside of our minds. I'm 14, and I live in South America, what am I supposed to do? Wait for my death? I don't want that.
@CatapultYourMom You clearly don't get what he was about, it was all about not giving a shit about how cool you look or act, or how powerful your voice was. The point of Dead Kennedys was to get a message across and he does that quite well. Plus he's absolutely awesome with the crowd, he doesn't just stand there, he's all over the place going out of his mind, making sure everyone who goes stays into it and gets their moneys worth. Amazing energy, amazing message, amazing frontman!
@scottv65 lmao this guy made an account to come on here and call this gay and than delete his account? what a fucking loser. get a life dude. dead kennedys rule!
Fanfrikkintastic !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I agree that MTV kinda screwed the music industry but it was coming anyway. if you want to play somebody blame Don Kirshner's Rock Concerts and the crappy "videos" they produced before MTV became a reality. The Dead Kennedys proved they were a force to be reckoned with and kicked ass. Despite the riffs in the band, they're all still awesome !!
Holy cow, yeah, Kirshner's Rock Concerts. Those were a very big deal back the late 70s, early 80s. Remember HBO Jukebox or the King Biscuit Flower Hour?
The video is nothing like seeing them for real. I saw them at the On Broadway in 1983 and they had good chops. Hope someday people will see what they were talking about them and take action.
@MasterNobodyD3 WHY WOULD JELLO WANT TO BE WITH THOSE ASSHOLES AGAIN, they sued his ass for everything he gave them, Biafra tried to "bury the hatchet" but they just spit in his face. FUCK EAST BAY RAY.
@PunkPenguin08 i respectfully disagree...theres still bands out there carrying the torch. Just aren't "punk" necessarily in delivery. Andrew Jackson Jihad, Ruiner, Gunmoll, Halo Fauna and a lot of others I can't think of now...none of the bands i mentioned sound any what the same...but they're all punk in attitude.
When somebody asks me what being punk is, i often say it is an impossibility. Trying to be punk makes you inellegable. I love punk music, but the artists are so varied that none of them can truly be punk either. In a way their can only be one punk at a time, anyone else is just a follower. That being said. Jello, in my opinion is the one punk. The only. The definition of what it is to be punk. Ha that being said, dont try and be like him or you failed at being punk already.
@espada9 Pol Pot was a mass murdering as well as Truman, Johnson, W Bush and other fuckheads called omerrikkan residents
don't know who did you call "mongoloid" and who you are... but only think I know american nation is a bunch of cosmopolitan degenerates and moneymaking retards... and Im sure this fucking satanic country will collapse very soon
I know a dude who went do a DK gig not long ago, he reckons Jello talked shit about the government for most of the show, people got pissed and told the dickhead to get on with the show.
@pedrokahuku Not all of us am 13 and I love the Dead Kennedys, Rage against the machine and more real music I dont even turn the radio cause I cant stand it. Punk 4 ever!!
@pedrokahuku dude if i could revote again i would like this over and over haha. i hate being born in the 90s i fuckin hate everryone. living in a generation where bands like "green day" are punk. what the fuck is peoples problems. fuck everyone dude. DK!
@BilangualPotato666 I have the same problem, im only 15 years old and I just hate the fact bands like Greenday, All Time Low and considered mainstream punk. Heck even calling in "pop-punk" is a disgrace.
