So glad I started this thread!

What a range of diverse bands we have here!  I've never understood people who listen to one type of music... for me, that's like eating only one kind of food. There's so much out there that you can dig into and enjoy!

Sorta wishing I'd made it a top ten...

i love seeing fans of nma loving bands like dead kennedys and leftover crack.

we got the see jello in dublin with Sturgeon. well, he played support and called me after he was evicted from the gig to save him. needless to say i stayed to watch jello. that stands out as a top 5 gig

and also went to see nma in new york with all the crew from c-squat where sturgeon lives and hung our with the guys from world inferno/friendship society

great when you can connect the dots

I remember seeing the DK's in London in 1980. Great show and it was the first time I had seen bands getting spit on like that. That never seemed to catch on in the states.

I never got the spitting. was at a clash gig in Dublin in like 1984 or something and people spat on stummer and he just stopped. all sorts of unwanted germs. but jello; I reckon the germs were frightened to death hurtling through the air to land on him.

 ;Ddon't worry. I never got into very many of the "2nd wave" of punk bands.

man, i couldn't help myself after mentioning him and started looking at some GG footage on the internet. i can safely say he's probably the only dead person i fear. shivers down my spine. so glad i never actually attended a gig or anything.
