DEAD BOYS - LIVE AT CBGB 1977

[dillinger9999]

brings back good memories

[StevenCarinci]

I was kicked in the head by Stiv at CBGBs circa 78-79. Not deliberately but because some bloke behind me was spitting beer at him and so I put my head down as I was being drenched. I felt something soft strike my head--Stiv fortunately was wearing sneakers--and when I looked behind me Stiv and this shit were fighting before the bouncer broke it up. Awesome...

[stutaggart]

@StevenCarinci Cool wee story, guess yer were lucky he wasn't wearing boots.

[StevenCarinci]

@stutaggart What was UNLUCKY was that I drove the dude down there. He tagged along with some other dude I knew. Just my luck. CBGBs was a VERY scary place.

[MrByaeger]

@StevenCarinci thats the kind of tale worthy of a lifetime of free drinks! i hope...i got a friend who got a black eye from Jello, he still does well by it to this day.

Cheetah is playing a Gibson Melody Maker with 2 pick ups. It was made somewhere between 1959 and 1962. It came with a tremolo bar option that he does not have on his guitar. It was removable leaving a stationary bridge.

[ex1le444]

@cooky72 Man I'd love one of those now, I coulda bought one back in the late 80's for cheap but passed it up for a 66 SG.

[roneelynn1]

@cooky72 oh thats when it was made, wow , you must be the authority on guitars, lol....

[PieceofMindmusic]

[joerivc1976]

beastie boys sampled this,hehe

[mongo88now]

actually, i get bored by the past of CBGBs - it was not as legendary as we recall. Ain't It Fun is more remarkable as a song

[raoulvanhorn]

Ain't It Fun is a great song, though the Dead Boys didn't write that one. And I disagree about CBGB -- it was every bit as legendary as we remember it. Maybe more. It was a great place to play too. Best on-stage sound of all the clubs we played back then.

[robin195959]

hope you mean the RFTT version.

[mongo88now]

Yes. I idolize dead people too. Not quite. We are impressed by their talent, confidence, urgency and bravado.

Listen to your UncleCourtney.

Apathy is antithetic to the punk movement. Anti-apathy is antithetic to the punk movement. Why do I care about Stiv? Who would idolize such a stupid shit? Ah, he was brilliant and stupid at the same time and because of that the rest of us boring fucks will learn something. Or mabye it is just about the leather.

[veganarchism]

I IDOLIZE STIV BATORS.

[MysticxLola]

This is definitely one of my favourite songs.

I'm glad it's so easy to play on the guitar.

:)

[Slammerworm1]

Ah, but then you have to get a drummer, a bassist, another guitarist...

[911cantsaveyou]

I also wasn't inferring that I didn't like apathetic music or whatever. I really like the dead boys.

[UncleCourtney]

Their excellent music and apathy is a common human emotion. But "punk" is supposed to be more then a mohawk and a sneer. In its essence, it is rejection of modern society which is corrupt and..apathetic, downright mean. Now "Punk rock" is to kick garbage cans and listen to "the music." Punk rock is a life style and a mentality. This is my opinion: Punk is a comfortable sense of self so you can be yourself comfortably. Morals/ideals you follow and a social consience. Maybe it is just leather

[911cantsaveyou]

isn't punk supposed to promote change and a different idea...its obviously not all about apathy.

[UncleCourtney]

Or fashion.

[911cantsaveyou]

exactly

[coshthedriver78]

awesome.

[BrentFail]

Ahh my third favorite "dead" group in the world after= Dead Kennedy's and the Dead Milkmen. So you can eat me Dead by Gun,Dead Betties, Dead Center,Dead to Me,Dead to Fall, and Dead Fucking Last. You Suck! Feel free to add if I missed any obvious ones.

[MikkiMassive]

[thunders5291]

Stiv ruled."Ain't no loser"

[FatwNker]

Nice teeth, Gene!

[FatwNker]

Finally, the real thing.

[cornflowermonroe]

i miss punk rock. people claim it never died, but i know when it died. it died when Billy Idol turned it into a fashion statement.

[punkrockxzz]

I think the guy from Teenage Atari put it best, "If you have to tell yourself that punk's not dead, than its dead" These guys were the real fucking deal

[jimmyb8]

ah, the memories of watching them live back in '77. America's greatest punk rock bank.

[johnnypuma64]

R.I.P. Stiv Bator. I have the album "night of the living Dead Boys".
