IMO a revival of 1963-64 or 1976-1979 in music-terms is very necessary...

Where are those mean young bastards in leather jackets with their sharp pointed boots, their secondhand 4 string guitars, bass and drums, while smashing their rented amps, and give everybody the f*ck you look?

Come on boys, we need you, totally fed up as we are of Rap and Dance-music, stupid shows like "X-factor", "America Got Talent", lousy reality-shows, and people who live for Facebook and Twitter.

Do blow the dust of this dull decades away, you youngsters. And also do give Mick and Keith some new inspiration, for a New Punk-Attitude Album, with new songs in the style of Not Fade Away, Carol, When The Whip Comes Down, Shattered and Respectable....

Are we all fed up with PUNK-attitudes, and am I the only one who is fed up with these days (concerning music)?

Well, I might start my own band then

Just looking for a drummer, bass-player and some company to rent the amps...

I don't know but looking at people just a little younger than me, people who are in their 20s, I'd say the "punk spirit" can nowadays be found in hardcore techno.

As a musician, you don't need much gear and you don't need much skill to blast with attention grabbing effect in that musical style.

The punk spirit has left rock music behind, or rather, the music business has Nickelback-ified it. There was a time during the early 00s when anything and everything was supposedly originating from punk, but that was just cashing in on the glory. Even "A Bigger Bang" had its punk moments like "Look What the Cat Dragged In".

Looking at the tourists faces down the Kings Rd in Chelsea the Punks were always a mystery to them

PUNK is just another saleable retro sound like DISCO or Amy Winehouse's short career. Let the past be the past. The question is, why don't things change anymore? Where is the NEW? Dumbasses in the States have been wearing their pants low and the top of the underwear showing since the early 90s. Same with the supposedly hipster Hollywood look of Buddy Holly glasses for guys, and harlequin glasses for girls. There is nothing more conformist than a Hollywood Hipster.

We revel in these Stones reworked songs, because they were from a good time and sound. But we wouldn't want a new Stones album to sound that way. I'm looking to the far past (1920s jazz and 30s swing) and African and South American music. Punk won't fix what's wrong with American and U.K. music. Something new must happen. It's like the 60s used up all the youth music genius for the next 100 years.

They are occupying Wall Street and other American cities.

If you are talking about Punk in the lame-o fashionable sense like Fall Out Boys in designer ripped T shirts, or that girl April Lavene (or something) in Pro Keds then I say "Stay as far away as possible". But I suspect you are talking about the true rebel spirit, that is needed to overthrow complacency and levees, then I say it is alive and well. All one has to do is put a little bit of effort into the search. That is the whole idea of the spirit: that it is off the beaten path.

There are plenty of San Francisco acts, small UK bands that are bubbling underneath. And in this thread alone I';ve seen it said "they are occupying in the streets against Wall St" or "they are alive in techno (or Bass &Drums)"; two great statements.

It's internets fault, the new structures in society where BOTH mummy and daddy MUST accomplish extraordinary stuff except for bringing up a steady and loving family. I wouldn't give a shit if my bitch would go off working so I could sit home, playing with our kids and listening to Stones. That'd be great. But media has @#$%& up approximately 70 % of the popularity in the western world.

You Gotta have this, buy that and blah blah blah.

I got six (6!!!) cellarphones at home and NONE of 'em is working properly!!! But my father's brickstone from the early 90's is still in use in our summer house. Do I need to say no more?!?!?!!?!

Ridiculous. I got more in common with me dad who is born in '46 than someone born in the 70's.

I don't wanna slag off anyone born in the 70's but at least here in Sweden they tend to be really concerned with what other people think about them (in terms of material achievements). Pathetic. In order to get a new movement,people will have to feel they MUST go to the gigsin order to understand what happened, not just sittin' on their lazy a&%es and watching it on youtube the day after. That's your solution. The MYSTERY IS GONE.

......... Geez Max that sounds like a line that could be hooked inta
Get Offa My Cloud .... But But on a serious note ya should dice those
phones and get yaself a couple of carrier pidgeons ... They'll move the message for ya
....don't $$cost much ta feed ... and sound pretty funky coooin' in the cage when they get back home .....



ROCKMAN

Guitar bands are out of fashion again at the moment.
It goes in cycles ;^)

Music gets all technological for a while [as in the 80s] .
Folks eventually get fed up with all the insipid, sterile garbage which ensues and, eventually, the snotty kids with Telecasters rise again

Again you are spot on Rockman!!

Respect!!!

A lot o'em would be here.. [www.sinnersday.com]

...hey yeah not a problem Max ...you know I'm a helpful kinda guy...

Things continually change and the times are no more boring than any time before.

It is you who is stuck and can't appreciate the changes taking place, it is you that is boring and can't appreciate the latest evolutions of music and the forms in which it manifests.

There is always a vast amount of fresh creativity taking place all over the world. As has always been the case elements of this trickle on to charts, but the real forward moving melting pots are in the bedrooms, back rooms, basements, local clubs etc etc.

In the UK at any rate, they are all trying to be stand-up comedians instead of rock stars these days. Comedy is the new rock'n'roll.

I'm not stuck at all, but I'm not waiting for Rock and Roll to miraculously revive. I remember a friend of my mother's in the 1970s telling us that Big Band music was coming back. Below is a recent home made compilation. The only real rock on it is Scott Pilgrim from the mid 90s, and of course the Stones, with a re-worked cut. I accept the multi-culturalism of modern music. It's gone world wide and there's plenty out there to discover and enjoy. Punk already stood rock up straight again when Nirvana blended punk and pop. Then Kurt blew his brains out and it's been pretty quiet since.
