I love early and later punk in all its incarnations but its not 1977 anymore and if it wasnt for the likes of Green Day and all the lesser succeesful bands carrying on the torch and doing something else with it there would be no more "punk" bands to watch or listen to, It would just be a bunch of miserable old gits reminiscing about the good ol days..

Sorry for going off topic but Green Day bashing really gets my back up...Basically, unless you live in the woods and make your own bog paper...No one is that punk!!

And btw...GG Allin beats all no contest
