Members knotty Posted July 3, 2010 Author Members Share Posted July 3, 2010 Which night was it they taped? I was there on the Monday and the Wednesday.... facking fantastic gigs. I stood up near the sounddesk (I was the guy in the fedora and cravat...). Dont know what night it was. I still have it on tape and will check to see if they dated it.

I just discovered after I posted the other day that there is an official DVD release of the Saturday night performance (I think it's the Saturday anyhow - that traces to the dates given on the clips posted to Youtube). Looks worth picking up, even if I would rather have an audio version (I'd get more use out of it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Angry Tele Posted July 5, 2010 Members Share Posted July 5, 2010 I think London Calling influenced more musicians than bollocks I discovered punk in a social studies book they had a pic of some dude with a mohawk lol yay school! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Edward Posted July 5, 2010 Members Share Posted July 5, 2010 I think London Calling influenced more musicians than bollocks Possibly in the US, not sure about the UK.... It was the Pistols that inspired Strummer to jump ship from the 101ers and get involved with what became the Clash.... Certainly, the Clash developed musically much more than the Pistols, though they did have a much longer career at it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sgt mukuzi Posted July 5, 2010 Members Share Posted July 5, 2010 Ok, I'll jump in on this just because I dislike the Sex Pistols so much. First of all, the Sex Pistols are not and were never punk rock. They were fashion and cultural icons practically created and hyped a lot by Malcolm McLaren. They were a publicity stunt. created by Mi5 to get rid of the labour govt and bring in the torys, thatcher etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members csm Posted July 5, 2010 Members Share Posted July 5, 2010 Da Brudders had a YUGE impact -- on young musicians already primed by The Stooges, MC5, New York Dolls, early Kinks, Stones & 'Oo, Dr Feelgood, Bowie/Ronson, Mott ... many of the same influences The Ramones themselves had. Result: Pistols, Clash, Damned, Buzzcocks and many, many more ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Edward Posted July 7, 2010 Members Share Posted July 7, 2010 I have read that when the Ramones played the Roundhouse in July 76(?), pretty much anyone who was later anyone on the UK punk scene was in attendance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Ramones' influence was different from the Pistols'. Lots of people were inspired to start bands after hearing them but I think most of the impact came in the first 30 seconds; the guitars, the tempos, the simplicity. But no one really copied their girl group/bubblegum melodies. There were a lot more groups that sounded like the Sex Pistols. But it's hard to separate their influence; punk would have happened without the Pistols but it might have turned out quite differently. And maybe I'm crazy but I think the Sweet belongs on your list there, it's easy to imagine an alternate universe where the Ramones were a hit and punk was remembered as an extension of glitter.
