Traditionalist? Yes, as Matlock was their original bassist.

It's a myth that they couldn't play. Only Sid wasn't any good with an instrument.

Can't view your video clip, NorthShoreBlues, due to a dial-up connection.
But what is your definition of "punk rock"? Is it a musical style/form, or an attitude to how you present your music?
And- are the Stones, in some fashion, punk rock? (due to, at the least, their "@#$%& you" attitude towards-well, pretty much everything theses days).
I'm curious...
And what of piracy? (as in the Stones of today, saying "@#$%& you" to, not only hardcore fans, but pretty much anyone else who wishes they'd hang it up, whatever their motives for wishing that)?Quote

well i'm not sure, its like the supreme court stating what is pornography? you just know when it is . . . I don't think the sex pistols in 1996 is anything close to punk rock, do you?
I know I'm not giving you an explanation, perhaps its youthful abandon, yeah i'll go with youth! Rock'n'roll is a young man's game . . . Yes i think its a combination of style, attitude, and youth, i guess you just know when you see it.

I love it when people hold up Nirvana as a punk band. If my old, failing memory serves me, I kinda remember Kurt stating in interviews that Boston's "More Than A Feeling" was one of his favorite songs and served as a template for "Smells Like Teen Spirit". Don't believe me. Play both back to back. Song structure and production are similar. Now that's punk.
