Except for using more than one mode for compositions, more textures than guitar string and drum kit and the emphasis on melody as opposed to an overall sonic “experience”, then yeah, punk has more in common with classical as opposed to Rush/Dream Theater. What does that leave us with again?

yeah, ok.

Can Rush inspire acts of violence? I thought not.
Punk rock has more in common with classical composers then Rush/Dream Theater; “Whoa I’m stoned” wussy Canada boys.
Stoners need to fuck off.

Rush…a band that makes Yes seem good.

They do perform for their fans, I’ll give them that. The are pros.

who really cares how well they can play.

The essence of rock and roll is not simply the earnest application of a bohemian disregard for skill. Yeah its wonderful to feel like you’ve ssen past all the hype, but the masses picked it right on this one. The Ramones were an energetic novelty. Rush — they could compose and play. Lifesong put more coherent dynamics in one song than… you really do know the rest.

Hey, fuck you; Rush is only the greatest rock band of all time.

Okay, so, the Ramones. Everybody of the right age is crazy about them, right? Saying they’re the best band of all time and shit.

What I want to know is, if they’re so good, why do all their singles sound exactly the same?

Rock and Roll Highschool, Blitzkrieg Bop, I wanna Be Sedated, The KKK Took My Baby Away… These are all the same damn song.

And while it’s a good song, if you hear it under one of its titles, you don’t really need to hear the others.

Is all their good stuff on the albums?

I loves me some Bad Brains. I never caught their show, but HR lived in my ex-girlfriend's basement for a while. She says he enjoyed writing sappy love poetry.

Blitz – ‘Someone’s Gonna Die Tonight,’ homemade vid by Danish skinhead soccer thugs (2:26)

That would of course be “Swedish skinhead soccer thugs” – to nitpick.

By my calculations, that's our little boy in the flannel shirt leaning over the amp in the background.

I smoked up HR after a Bad Brains show in Chapel Hill back in the late 80s. At the time, it felt like drinking shots with Hemingway.

“It’s not the band I hate, it’s their fans”-
name that tune.

Anywho, even though the Blitz was used for some neo-fascist cobags, and of course the vid was equally hypnotic- they have the sound of tonight’s offerings that is closest to my id. Bad Brains never did it for me. He sounds like Dean Ween fronting a more muscular young Replacements with a couple of Dischord type touches. Although….I am like this speedier one…where he’s doing his not nasal thing…sounds like a sped up Damned in a way- definitely the best of their offerings tonight. I love video Fridays!

Oh, and Grateful Dead? That stuff isn’t good even if you are face down in the mud wasted. Trite Blues Rock that has been extended to last as long as Prog tunes but without all the, you know, innovation, things happening and actual content?It’s like somebody made a full length movie out of an episode of Full House and then getting praised for the hypnotic emptiness of it. No, it’s not even that good.

Seriously, I’m not a huge Rushhead, but they haven’t donne time sig changes and mad noodling since…oh, about 1984. Geddy Lee’s voice also got quite reasonable from about Power Windows onwards and Counterparts is in parts an entirely kickass album.

Ah, good ol’ Target Video. For the longest time they kept the huge Crass logo I graffitied on their wall. Saw Flipper there once. Yum.

I still think BB were a tad overrated, and evidently they were major homophobes, which just sucks.

Hmmm… a Friday without a Sparks video? Maybe ‘Nothing to Do’ would have fit in with this theme. (Russell Mael said that Joey Ramone always wanted to cover it but the others wouldn’t bite.)
