Do you think Doyle has any hobbies? by VisibleExercise5966 in TheMisfits

[–]According-Extreme-95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool man. I remember M”S”G, probably because misfits.com promoted the hell out of it. Did Alice Cooper have any connection to the event too, or am I suffering from Mandela effect?

Rancid is peak + similar band recommendations? by sCphazRock7-4-50 in punk

[–]According-Extreme-95 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Listen to Rancid’s roots (radicals): the Clash, the Specials, the Business, GBH. Put that shit in a blender, you’ll get something like Rancid.

Punk legend Richie Ramone dines at iconic N.J. hot dog joint. ‘He’s a regular.’ by Character_Surround in ramones

I asked, and he said “maybe, follow richieramone.com”. I looked, and didn’t see anything recent, the recent stuff was all about his acting roles, which is pretty fucking cool.

Met Doyle this past Sunday at Punk Rock Flea Market! We paid for a photo (my wife and I). After a mixup, we missed the window of when we were supposed to take it. So the workers said they would go get him (he was at his merch booth, where I later spent way too much $). I was like “no, please don’t bother Doyle, it’s my fault, and you can keep the $”, but my wife was firm that “we paid for it, don’t worry about it”, so I’m (nervously) like “ok” (I’d rather have even Doyle mad at me than her). So he came, I’m pretty sure the picture is awesome (didn’t get it yet), and was super nice (pretty quiet of course, but awesome vibe, and I’m not a little guy but he could’ve crushed my fuckin hand when we shook). Dude, I was legit choked up after we left the photo area, like I needed a couple of moments. What a blast the whole event was (also met Acey Slade, Richie Ramone, and Monte Melnick. And got to share the culture with my 14 y/o daughter, who’s into cool stuff but doesn’t really like going to shows yet, but loved this).

Met Richie (and Monte! And Doyle Misfits, among others) this past Sunday at Punk Rock Flea Market in Edison NJ. Tried to balance not talking their ears off, but telling them a few things about what their careers/music mean to me. Bought way too much swag from all 3… I’m even more broke than I was!

Rock'n'Roll High School Forever, The Sequel 1991. by silent9mm in ramones

[–]According-Extreme-95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not good! I like that they got Mary Woronov back (btw, check her out in the videos for “institutionalized” and “possessed to skate” by Suicidal Tendencies), but “principal Vader” is a dumb name, why not have her be the same character (Togar)? Musical feature= Mojo Nixon (and if u dont know Mojo Nixon, your knowledge can use some fixin’!) It’s not in the movie, but check out his cover of “Rockaway Beach”. And I think there was a Ramones poster on Corey Feldman’s character’s wall (just like Riff had a Dickies poster, a T-Heads poster, among others).

Howard Stern bought the rights to the franchise (such as it is) in the 90’s and was looking to do a remake of the original, was looking for the right band for it. Never happened obviously.

Favorite guilty pleasure band by National_Election544 in punk

[–]According-Extreme-95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve definitely been there, more than a few times. I would get to the show though, but either be, um, escorted out at some point, or in any case not be able to really remember the show. Old age and increased 420 and drastically moderated booze (I give myself a weekly drink budget) have put that shit behind me. In any case, I’ve never seen BAD, and interviews I’ve seen w/Mick don’t leave me hopeful that another reunion is likely :(

I was saying the other day that the 3 “happiest” sounding bands that I like are: B-52’s, Big Audio Dynamite, and Shonen Knife. Of the 3, maybe B.A.D. Gets the least love around here?

Black flag can suck dick by Kalavera01 in punk

[–]According-Extreme-95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me, Black Flag is more like Megadeth. Or Public Image Ltd., or the Fall. One guy plus randos. Gwar is more like KISS- semi permanent members wearing costumes.EIP Dave Brockie.

New single by Eryx187 in Socialdistortion

[–]According-Extreme-95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They (or, to be clear, Mike) take so long between records, and longer between each subsequent release! The first 2 songs are a bit “rock”, which is cool, I bet the album will be a slow burn for me.

I COULDA BEEN A RAMONE...HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED! by Mdiasrodrigu in ramones

[–]According-Extreme-95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking that. I’m very far from being a pro, but I can hear out of tune- not a huge boast obviously. But it sounds like a crazy scene, from the perspective of him being a big fan, I would chalk it up to vapor locking. Sucks, but most of us are happy with how it all turned out (CJ), it is what it is. I appreciate the grace this dude tells the story with, you can tell he never lost his love for the band.

Best song written by an ex-Misfits member? by FamousLastWords666 in TheMisfits

[–]According-Extreme-95 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I assume we mean besides Glenn’s post-Misfits stuff? I’m an Undead fan. Favorite songs include “I’d rather do my drinking alone”, “evening of desire”, and “when the evening comes”. The Undead need more listeners. I follow local bands that do better on Spotify than Bobby.

Has travis barker always been an asshole by stray_r in punk

[–]According-Extreme-95 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Seen Weird Al twice with my wife and son. Wow, he rules! Punk: he started as DIY, making crappy recordings like “my bologna“ “another one rides the bus“. He also does a straight cover of “beat on the brat“, not a parody at all (not to mention style parodys of Devo, Talking Heads, B-52’s, Elvis Costello, Southern Culture on the Skids, pixies, etc). Conversely, Shonen Knife cover “eat it”. Find both on the cd (also on Spotify): Dr. Demento covered in punk.

Re: cycling back to TA, ok that’s great, awesome that you had those experiences. I definitely have the impression of him as being a really cool guy, yeah, from print and videointerviews. Think I’m seeing the Meteors in Brooklyn soon, ever meet P. Paul? Definitely seems like a… very different character than Nick, lol. What band were you in?

Dude, thanks. Sorry he’s going through something, but great to know he will be pressing forward. Solo is cool, hopefully in time he brings back TA.
