The modern pistols are old bastards looking for a quick buck, but back in the day they really made statement shaped what music would sound like

I repeat: Sex Pistols fanboys should stop overstating the Sex Pistols importance. They did not shape what music would sound like, that's one of the most idiotic things I've ever read.

Dave Trenga. I had to look up his name b/c I forgot it, but yeah. Him. But I voted Darby, just for vintage MIsfitspunk days.

I don't have anything against the Sex Pistols I have a thing against idiots like you and ADELE who spend all your time overstating their importance. The Sex Pistols were NOT anywhere near as important to music as a whole as you guys seem to think. There were bands before them doing the same thing and bands after them doing it too, most doing it better. 90s alternative owes alot to the Sex Pistols? Fat chance, it owes more to hardcore (which was basically an America movement which owed alot more to the CBGB bands than the Sex Pistols), Black Sabbath and 60s garage rock. Nirvana's biggest influence was stuff like the Meat Puppets, Black Sabbath, Melvins, Black Flag etc not the Sex Pistols and Oasis? give me a break, britpop, with the exception of the Manics (who owe more to the Clash and Guns and Roses than the Sex Pistols) was more about the Kinks, The Beatles and the Rolling Stones than the Sex Pistols. Metallica was also influenced by the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, as were most thrash bands and as far as punk goes they borrowed more from hardcore. The Sex Pistols didn't change the face of music at all, they made punk popular by saying the "fucking" on television.

I like that thur Jeff Rosenstock from Arrogant Sons of Bitches and BTMI! but then again I haven't posted seriously for a solid year now.


^what the hell was with that sentence?



Anyways the Pistols gave the impressions to the majority that anyone involved with the early punk scene was a drug-addicted degenerate. Which there were many of but there were also musicians that were not and tried hard to shed the legacy that the Pistols left.


Ignore my grammar for I am eating tacos that have nothing to do with it.

If you like that snotty-talksinging-alongside-two-chord-guitar-riffs sound, then I guess you're right. But see, I haven't heard a punk band in a while (besides maybe Rancid) that does that.
