Legacy! You fuckin' Punk!

I would have listed Pearl Jam as well, but I don't consider them punk.
Hard to say what they are. Just rock I guess. They are my all time favourite.

Do you recall a huge Madison Square Garden show for Dylan? Eddie and Stone got up and did a casual duet that was mind blowing!

I guess they were labelled grunge and came out of that brilliant era with Soundgarden, Nirvana, Hole, etc.

After Cobain died, :skull: the Major Labels shifted gears and 'replaced' rock with a safer more socially acceptable and gentle art form.

I think this kids call in Rap but, hell I aint no kid and could be wrong.

I don't recall the show you mention, but I do have the DVD set from MSG which is really good.
I've seen PJ all three times they have come to Montreal. They really put on a great show too.

They are superb live: hence the birth of a new thread:

1. MDC - Millions of Damn Christains
2. Discharge
3. The cramps
4. Sex Pistols
5. PIL

I'm not into punk... I do like some of the bands mentionned though... Especially TOOL, Stone Temple Pilots, Public Image Limited...

I prefer real hard rock/heavy metal...
