Punk Rock and Hardcore

[Fedora]

Word on Fish's accident is that an engine block fell off a truck and came through his windshield. Just smashed him to ****. Crazy.

Anyway, Fish had a small penis. I know because he made no secret about it, and would whip it out on any occasion. Often, just because he saw you. You'd walk up to him and there it was, just hanging out in the breeze. Put that mother floccer away. Dont nobody wanna see that ****.


Fish had " **** you" tattooed on his ass. Three inch black , block lettering. **** on one cheek, you on the other. So if he liked you, he would drop his pants and greet you with a big **** you. And if he didn't like you, thats the last thing you would see. Him with his pants down. A big **** you.

What an *******.

What is a 'typical preppy redneck bunch'. I have no idea what that means. Does it mean that they keep both overall straps snapped vs just one?

redneck is different than hillbilly. most places I've been, rednecks can range from sleeveless flannels & mullets to Big Dog shirts & RayBans.

This thread brings back pleasant memories of many a show at Trenton's City Gardens - Henry Rolling, Ramones, Circle Jerks, Scorn Flakes, X, GWAR, Ween, Dead Kennedys, Bad Brains, and so many more. Good times.

we had a lot of great shows in Rapid City. all the kids were a pain in the butt, but they had tons of great energy. the bands feed off it like me in a candy store. I've always been jealous of bigger venues. when I lived in Vegas, we had the Huntridge and the Sanctuary. but the best shows were in squats and up on Sunrise Mountain.

Time has finally come to replace my Docs. Current pair lasted me almost 10 years. Actually came across some 10 eye steel toe oxbloods on Amazon. Getting em Thursday :rockin:.

Billy nailed it. I'm hillbilly as they come, but I'm not a floccin redneck.

This crowd was wranglers, work boots, and polo shirts, with copious amounts of axe body spray. If flat bill caps had been around, they'd have been sporting them.

A couple actually grew up and made amends with me in later years. I try to see the good in people, if there is any.

I want some new Docs!

 

[Fedora]

This is how hillbilly I am...

RIP fish, sounds like a great guy. Keep the stories coming!

Really is a lot of punk roots amongst brewers. Brewing job I interviewed for last week, head brewer has punk roots. I list as a reference my former head brewer boss/friend (also with punk roots), who talks to potential future head brewer. Potential future head brewer boss, armed with nothing by my short hair, chops, and love of reggae (because apparently music is a question in brewing interviews, been the case in every one I've had), asks former head brewer boss/friend if I was a skin. I was wearing just shy of a floccing suit.

I'm certainly hoping that, based on what he could put together, he knows better than to assume I was WP or something.

WP skins don't apply for jobs, they all cook meth.

people almost always assume I'm WP. it's downright floccin' annoying.

If I were to walk down the street with turnup jeans almost to the knee, 20 eye docs, green flight jacket and braces hanging out the back with a straight razor shave to the head, then I would expect the average person to think I was WP. Because that's what people have been fed.

However, I'm lucky in that my style's more on the subtle side and it's only folks familiar with the subculture who pick up on it. And as such, don't usually assume anything (which is what I'm pretty sure this was). But I still find it funny who ends up picking up on it.

Last time I remember someone questioning it was actually an ARA guy who we knew a lot of the same people but had never met, and there was a nazi thing happening in town. And a quick semi-in my face "you 88?" "no" and that was the end of it when mutual friend showed up. Hah.

I walk around in jeans, tee-shirt, and my pull on work boots and people still just assume. when I could still grow a mohawk (which I miss) and sporting my spiked leather looking all sorts of punk, they still assumed. I've had some dumb heated conversations with some of the dumber ARA members I've met assuming I was WP. even after I showed them my anti-swastika tattoo. I've also had WP guys not believe me that I wasn't after showing them my tattoo and telling them to flocc off. I learned that "*******" is a Dutch door. hahahaa!!

Frog: long over due.

I met Frog when I was 15-16. he had a very macho persona. I did not like to be around him because of it. he had moved to South Dakota from California with his parents and stayed when they moved to Las Vegas. everyone hung on every word because he was from California; a/k/a "the real deal". another reason I didn't like him at the time. fast forward to when I was 19. I was living in my car where I worked: McDonalds. he got a hell of deal on an apartment from a guy he knew. $150 a month for a downtown economy. he offered me a place (I had a mattress in the "kitchen") for $75 a month. we became good friends and had no problems. people even started calling me "Tadpole". he started having problems with his ex-wife and decided he was moving to Vegas. I wanted to get out of South Dakota, so I was in. we packed up everything that fit in my '89 Chevy Cavalier and hit the road. we got stuck in some Colorado ski town for a day and harassed the flocc out of some hippies. Frog saw himself as the punks punk. he saw himself as dyed in the wool hardcore punk rocker until the day he died. we finally get to Vegas and stayed with his folks. I found a job and looked for apartments. his mom hated me with a passion. her little Frog was home and I was ruining it for the happy little family. we finally found an apartment (after I been tagged by local Nazis as their enemy). he met a guy guy (total floccin liar) named Sean. I have more stories of that dumb floccer. I'll get into that later. the three of us stayed up all night playing Monopoly to figure out who gets what room. Frog got the master and let it go to hell quick. he was a complete floccin' slob. the bitch of the bunch was his attitude. we get there and he pulls the punk rock retirement card: I'm getting older and it's time to be more respectful so now I'm a skinhead. it would have been fine if he wasn't so damn arrogant about it. he went to a party with Old Jerry (I might have mentioned earlier) and came back bragging about some nonexistent crew and how me and Sean wouldn't understand because we weren't skins and will never be. come to find out Old Jerry was consistently full of s#!t and inflating his ego. meanwhile I was on the streets with other punks & skins we met while he was at home playing video games and turning a blind eye to the WP problems the rest of us were facing. he would then tell us "what we needed to do" while he sat all comfy in front of the TV. it was like seeing your hero fall. like a psychotic Superman or Batman robbing a bank. I was the guy getting into fights and shot at while he was sitting pretty at hom. when the WP guys showed up, they didn't follow him to work or home. he wasn't a threat, but he sure preached like he was. I was their threat I was their enemy. not this guy playing Final Fantasy whatever on his PS all night. my hero had fallen. Rome had fallen and I walked away while the wall crumbled. I walked out of the frying pan but was still in the fire. I had WP all around me and very little back up (punks fighting punks, skins fighting skins, and no one uniting against a common enemy). the whole time, Captain Macho sat at home whining while I scraped the s#!t off my boots and cleaned the blood off my face. we would be some place and run into Nazi skins or some other WP guys. first thing out of his mouth, "We don't want any trouble." speak for yourself! I was looking for trouble. I was 20 and full of a jaded hate and discontent. I had an enemy and they were right in front of me. we would back up against the wall. difference was that my fists were up while he was waving a white flag. and who the flocc was to say I wouldn't know what it was like to be a skin?!? I walked with them. I lived with them. they always said I was more skin than punk. I stood my ground and took my lumps. flocc you, Frog, and all you claimed to be. I'm just sorry you ain't who I thought you used to be 17 years ago. I had more respect from the punks and skins than you ever hoped for. keep cowering behind you PS controller. I have 12 teeth you sunuva bastich.

[Fedora]

So. After failing at all other stringed instruments because of my fat, uncoordinated fingers, I'm learning the ukulele. Fun/ easy punk songs to learn? Any suggestions?

 

[hoppyhoppyhippo]

Ever Fallen in Love by the Buzzcocks should sound great on the uke.

Great suggestion, hoppy. It's going on the list.

 

[Qhrumphf]

"One Dead Cop" by Leftover Crack. Just because I was listening to it earlier today. I could see that on a Uke.

 

[Qhrumphf]

Also folk punk and uke go hand in hand. So uh, any of that stuff.

 

[Billy-Klubb]

The List should be played on any and all string instruments. it's thousands long.
