But I asked him point-blank if he knew these guys and i can't get a straight answer. H enever said anything about documentaries or anything else. If that's where he learned what he clams to know about these guys then he would have said so. He's making an assumption and stating it as though it is fact. And he knows he overstepped his boundaries and got called on it.

and speaking of documentaries, you might want to watch one called "American Hardcore" where they interview the hardcore bands of the 80s all the biggies--Black Flag, Bad Brains, Minor Threat, Die Kreuzen, MDC, etc. and they all said hardcore was dead by the end of '85. What will strike you is that none of them dispute that it ended. One guys said, "We used to be a hardcore punk band but now we're just a hard rock and roll band."

Another said, "There will be another musical revolution and it will be intense and energetic and the kids will go nuts over it but it won't be hardcore."

Yet another said that every 15 years or so there will be a new thing coming along.

So I say, take what punk taught you and build something new. No sense building what's already built.
