I didn’t read the thread but I had a lot of fun at offspring concerts
Wanna go see social D and Bad Religion. Kid likes metal so he should enjoy punk (I think he hates Green Day though)

Bad Religion still puts on a good show. I’m almost embarrassed to say I’ve never seen Social D live. I have tickets to Dropkick in February

I've seen BR many, many times and Social D a few. BR always starts off slow and then crushes it Got tickets to their show in St. Augustine in April and looking forward to it.

The only person to get away with that criticism was Rev. NØRB back in the nineties. That's the only person I ever heard criticizing Rancid for being too pop.
You're not REV. NØRB, are you?
As the good reverend would say . . .
I'll meet you west of the east and east of the Fox tonight
West of the east and east of the river all right?
Avail! They're probably a top 5 band for me just overall. First time I saw them was at the Middle East in Cambridge, MA I believe in 1994. Agree about Over the James. Loved Dixie too.

Another local favorite (via Austin) of mine was The Jesus Lizard. Probably considered more “post punk”. But David Yow was Punk AF live.

No, I’m not. But when I compare them to some of the stuff I was listening to in the early 80’s I just don’t see them as any kind of real punk band.

What did you listen to in the eighties?
I ask because I get what you're saying, but Rancid is a punk band for a variety of reasons.

My best friend growing up became a big Milkmen fan in HS. Many, many, many banana peels and bad parties and trips to the zoo later, all I have to show for it is this Motley Crue T-shirt.

Maybe The Queers for Sebowksi, who also no longer is here.
Miss bofa those guys. Tons.

Tickets purchased for later this year to see Hot Water Music with Quicksand.
The Bad Religion/Social Distortion show is on my radar.
Sort of meh on the NOFX show coming out here. It's outdoors. I think those days are behind me.

I was into most of the usuals:
Black Flag
Dead Kennedys
Minor Threat
Suicidal Tendencies
Descendents
Toxic Reasons
Sex Pistols
The Clash
.....plus many more that would take me awhile to remember and list. We used to go to shows all the time - mostly in Lawrence, KS - which had a great music scene back then. And still does really. The place I went to the most was The Outhouse - an abandoned gas station outside of town turned into a concert place. Dirty, grungy, terrible restrooms - perfect. I found my people as a teenager back in those days. Lots of beers and raw music and mosh pits and fights and all of that. But a really good community of kids who didn't quite fit what was going on in the real world.
Kansas City also was good - I saw countless shows in basements and warehouses and garages all the time. My brother is a musician and has played in bands since he was 13 or so - so he was pretty connected in those days with a lot of other musicians who put us on all these great shows. A different time for me, though I still love that type of music and all kinds really.

I know bro hymm got all the play but when unknown road came out it was really at a transitional time in my life, just graduated high school and was a freshman in college (SDSU) listening to all the bands being played in the surf movies I was watching. I went from really into grunge to overnight listening to strictly pennwise, nofx, bad religion, sprung monkey, good riddance, face to face, farside, no use for a name... and so on. Pennywise would get my vote as I still listen to them just about every day in one of several playlists.

Wow, I wouldn't have known that about you, ChiefD. My ex-girlfriend from Overland Park, KS, took me to Lawrence to go visit a huge record store they had there. There was obviously a scene, and it was a blast to hang out there. I got a Dancing French Liberals of '48 seven-inch record there. Yep, I remember the record but can't remember the name of the place.
Through her, I got to visit Kansas City a few times, and absolutely fell in love with the people there. And the boulevards in Missouri! Holy schneiky.
This is honestly what I figured you were into. Rancid does indeed have a pop sensibility when compared to the sonic aggression of most of these bands. I can easily see where Rancid isn't punk to you if you came of age in the hardcore '80s and listened to Black Flag or Suicidal Tendencies. Those are hardcore punk bands.
By the '90s, though,
punk and hardcore had split into separate movements, really, and the sounds of each respective (now split) scene reflected that, as did the lyrics. Rancid fell under the rubric of punk, hardcore went in wildly different directions, embracing the cult of Hare Krishna and straight edge and the like in the late eighties/early nineties and on to today.But I can totally see where you're coming from.

No, it was in the infancy of one of my doomed sobriety bouts (before this one that's lasted 4 years and 9 months), and I was bored, so I started a thread.
Green Day were a fine nineties punk/power pop band and I don't begrudge them a thing except for their anti-American politics while they suckle at the teat of it.

Boris the Sprinkler is the punk band I probably saw the most live. Grew up in Green Bay and the punk scene was huge there at that time. Many, many, many punk bands came through and Boris the Sprinkler played all the time on their home turf.
Specifically, at a place called Concert Cafe. They had shows all the time (including most of the bands named in this thread). The guy who booked the shows, Timebomb Tom, would get flyers printed up for the shows at Kinkos. My buddy worked there, so we'd know the shows right away and make sure we got tickets to favorites and new bands rolling through.
There were other venues, including Kutska’s Hall in DePere. That place closed after the crowd started pogo'ing and the floor "broke" during a Face-to-Face concert. I was at that show and didn't realize it wasn't just typical moshpit imbalance, but that the floor was jacked up for way too long.

Rev Norb is hysterical. A friend of mine told me back in the days he had a map of Green Bay on the wall of his place and could recite streets in order from memory from any place on the map. lol
The only person to get away with that criticism was Rev. NØRB back in the nineties. That's the only person I ever heard criticizing Rancid for being too pop.
You're not REV. NØRB, are you?

West of the east and east of the river all right?
More interesting to this group may be his appearance on the Jenny Jones show.

I think I've heard of Timebomb Tom. Not Timebomb Tim of Rancid but Timebomb Tom. Perhaps my mind is playing tricks on me and giving me false memories. Was he ever shouted out in a NOFX song?
Got a face like Charles Bronson
Straight outta Green Bay, Wisconsin
He was the punkest mother****er I ever did see
Aw hell he was even more punk than me
He should have been on the cover
He should have been on the cover
He should have been on the cover of punk and disorderly
I've seen that Jenny Jones show before. LOL. The girl with the crush on Norb, and the audience doesn't know how to react to it all? And Jenny Jones with her fake sympathy? Too much.

Unsure, but that would make sense. Timebomb Tom is a legend in punk circles. He also managed the Exclusive Company on Green Bay's west side. It was the place to buy midnight release CDs, purchase vinyl or imports, and get the show flyers.
He can be seen at the beginning of this video, introducing Boris the Sprinkler for their 30 year reunion show in Green Bay (2022)
