God, I saw the Zeppelin thing on probably hundreds of jackets, t-shirts and bumper stickers when I was a kid. In fact it was years before I knew Zeppelin and Motorhead were not American.
You're absolutely right...back then people actually listened to the bands they promoted on their t-shirts & jackets. They/we weren't concerned with trying to be ironic or hip like today's kids.

Sansa Stark 03-17-2010 12:42 AM

Arya Stark 03-17-2010 12:56 AM

They're a perfect example of the fact that a halfway decent punk band can go to crap in the span of 1 album.

Probably referencing AFI's pseudo Horror Punk era.

Who cares about technical talent. The best bass player in the world may be a guy playing open E 700x because that's what fits best with the band. It's not about playing difficult licks or technical proficient runs, it's about expressing your thoughts and ideas through music.

And if the Misfits did that with 2 chords and a crappy melody, then so be it.

Yeah, I find it a little strange to be discussing technical chops with regard to a punk band.
