Just an interesting side note: at some point in like '89 when the original Dinosaur line-up was going down, Cobain told J Mascis he should join Nirvana. | |

Texas is an outrage when they pick up his head
Texas is the reason that the president's dead
You gotta suck, suck, Jackie suck.
I will always consider myself extremely fortunate to have been part of the Texas music scene in the 80s.
The Big Boys
The D!cks
Butthole Surfers
D.R.I
Verbal Abuse

Posted: 1/6/2009 12:37:37 PM | | Butthole Surfers was the most consistently funny band that would come play in Houston where I grew up. I don't know if Fear ever played there, but they too were a riot. We had a weird local band called Culturcide that was pretty fun as well. | |
|

Posted: 1/6/2009 12:52:44 PM | Culturecide was awesome, one of Houston's best along with Really Red, AK-47 and the Mydolls.
I also really enjoyed the Party Owls and Sugar Shack. | |

Posted: 1/6/2009 2:29:20 PM | I did a flyer for when AK-47 played at Cabaret Voltaire in downtown Houston. Still have a copy of it. There's a Really Red video on Youtube when they played The Island. Check it out. There's also this:

Ronnie Gaits was the first person who explained real socialism to me. The funniest thing to me was that he was a high school history teacher. If his students parents only knew what he was really all about. Oh my, lol. | |

Posted: 1/6/2009 4:26:18 PM | | My favorite guy of course is Billy Idol and he was in Generation X, who were a great band....but they got a lot of flack because Billy was too ''cute'' to be a true punk... | |
|
| 80's PUNK
Posted: 1/6/2009 4:31:28 PM | Billy Idol was punk! I put him in there with X-Ray Specs and Madness. Madness was ska, but still...
There were so many variations: New Wave, Punk, Hardcore, Straight Edge Hardcore, Thrash, Speed metal....on and on.
One thing I always loved was how the reggae scene and the punk scene seemed to compliment each other so well. Tons of reggae punk bands like Bad Brains, etc. Punk and reggae had such a natural affinity.
Power to the people! | |

Posted: 1/6/2009 4:57:06 PM | Billy said a lot of people hated on him, especially guys because he made ''sexy'' rock music. LOL. But Yeah i love his earlier stuff the best, although i love everything he does.
I love watching the old Generation X videos on you tube. | |
|
| 80's PUNK
Posted: 1/6/2009 4:59:45 PM | Misfits, Social Distortion, Circle Jerks, Dead Kennedys.
Yeah, 80's punk laid such a great foundation for music today. It's too bad that the "Punk" rock today is littered with garbage bands like Fallout Boy. | |
