Stiv and the Dead Boys were doing their thing a bit earlier than the Pistols. NY Punk was in it's infancy 1974-75!

the dead boys started out in 1977 in cleveland & moved to new york shortly after.they cut their hair cause they were inspired by the pistols.

thats the point. punk isnt about your skill or how great you are. i mean the romones hated guitar solos! and sid didnt even kno how to play bass when he joined the pistols. none of that shit matters its the fact that your different and you wanna make a statment and this is the music you love. thats what anarchy is its chaos and thats punk bitch

have you seen the punk look for teens today? I dunno anymore. It's this whole fuckin' hair salon hairstyle, vintage t-shirt's that aren't vintage just crap from hot topic or aeropastle (yeah, that's punk. major clothing line punk?) and fucking dinge wear everywhere. I consider myself punk because I do everything punk. DIY. my clothes are fucked because I don't make that much. Not because that's the look. Fuck poseurs.

I'm fine with the Pistols, but Sid's status in the band is way overrated. Glen Matlock was the Pistol's bassist plain and simple. Sid was more about destroying himself than anything else, didn't even make it past 21. He's just a punk rock poster boy and the guy's life is something to be pitied not looked up to.

There was no official punk genre before the Ramones. Johnny and Tommy came up with a simplified way to create rhythm due to their amateur skills and stumbled on the sound by accident.

[leebee303]

You're all wrong. The Stooges and MC5 where garage rock and the protagonist to punk rock. The Ramones who were influenced by the Stooges, New York Dolls, and various garage bands created the punk rock sound which came out of a repetitive 4 to the flour percussion and Johnny's wall of sound down stroke style of guitar play.

[creepystranger007]

Yeah they were! when Ramones went to England to play the ''It's Alive'' show, Johnny Rotten went up to the backstage and asked Arturo Vega, to let him meet the band, but he was too scared and he thought that Ramones would beat him up, cause everyone thought Ramones were like a gang from Queens. :p

the dead boys are good and all. but it's a pity they only ever really aspired to be the stooges! they cudda been much better!

[crlumberjack]

sid was an idiot, if you wanna see what rock n roll and punk is all about look at keith richards, hes not just an asshole with an attitude. Now the Dead boys those were guys could really make a statement and make a musical masterpeace out of it, sex pistols suck without matlock, no soul.

[pazzensutra]

yeah, so is Ringo.
