The rock n roll hall of fame is just an advertisement in my opinion.

MC5, way ahead of their time. Punk before punk, energy plus. Thanks always. rock and roll thanks you, I thank you.

@micsolis That was from the wiki on The Dictators. Not my choice for info... but as stated, when dealing with a retard, use a retarded source. Even the retarded source acknowledges the PUNK link between the MC5, the Stooges, and the NY Dolls - all prototype punk bands. Did they have mohawks and razors in their ears? No. They were punk nonetheless. If your definition of punk fails to acknowledge the roots, then it is low definition. Yes. Game. Set. Match. Go back to school.

@micsolis My impression of the Dictators is neither here nor there. They were catagorized as punk. I never listened to them. I am from the old school punk scene. I DO know what I am talking about. When dealing with an idiot (you), reference something their speed: "The Dictators are an American punk rock band formed in New York City in 1973. Steven Van Zandt called them "The connective tissue between the eras of The MC5, Stooges, NY Dolls, and the punk explosion of the mid to late 1970s

@flamesounds No. I just have a life. I don't sit in mommy's basement at age what, you must be over 60 by now, surfing YouTube to find out what so and so thinks about such and such. I don't believe I ever commented as to what Kramer or anyone else had to say about punk. I believe I stated that the MC5 were amongst the ealy punkers. Whether or not they thought of themselves as such is neither here nor there. The fact, as stated, that they hired a punker says it all.

@flamesounds No thanks. Taking literature suggestions from an idiot like you would be like picking my nose, and I gave that up by age 2. Alot of work for little payout, in the end. Wow! You met Wayne Kramer? And your friends got high with so and so? Really? Man, I guess that makes you the most in-the-know idiot I have never wanted to meet! Uh... most guys sporting jewfros in the late 60s were called "hippies", moron. Duh. Are you really as stupid as you sound?

[micsolis]

@flamesounds i don't know what people you're talking about, or heard about. because a Lollapolooza could have never happened if what you're saying is true. Lollapolooza is directly connected to the punk rock scene, with bands like Rancid, Ramones, Jane's Addiction, the Red Hots, Green Day, etc etc. Perry Farrell came directly from the LA punk rock scene. of course real punk had been diluted by the 80's but that his roots.

[micsolis]

@flamesounds wow. what punk shows did you go to? you must be in a bad location because i've seen some great punk shows, myself. of course, maybe you simply missed the good shit, and maybe saw all the wrong shows. it happens. especially when you don't really know the scene or the music. and then to say that punk ruined the club and concert scene? that's why most kids listen to hip hop??? fucking hilarious. where do you get your information? obviously not first hand. maybe some crappy magazines.

[micsolis]

@MongoTheLloyd if you're under the impression that the Dictators were punk and from the punk scene, then your argument is null and void because you do not know what you are talking about. sorry charlie. try listening to the music first. know a little about what you're talking about. granted, some journalist might have called them punk because maybe they played CBGBs or whatever, but the Dictators were the furthest thing from punk. sorry but NO GAME, NOTHING SET and NOTHING TO MATCH.

[reaperpro]

Hooray for MC5. Fuck John Sinclair.

@dennyman5k You obviously didn't read my last post. The hippie movement was anything but passive. That includes the MC5, who were Detroit hippies. People quit going to rock clubs because of all the violence, puking, moshing etc, and generally lousy music.
