I used a new mic for this one and I'm not happy with the way it sounds. I'm going to mess with some settings and try to get it sounding better for the next video.
People are surprised when I tell them Young, Loud and Snotty is my favorite album of all time. I wish these guys would have stuck around longer. RIP Stiv.
Ohio Punk here we still love the Dead Boys here! I have friend who's Dad saw em before they left Cleveland. Said Stiv was slicing his chest with a razor blade
I was never a big Dead Boys fan, but almost everyone else in the punk scene that I admired was, so I respect them. It's nice to see people give them some props. Thanks.
I've watched the doc about Stiv called ' STIV ' a bunch of times, I love the stories about all his antics , the car surfing , the prank calls, etc.....good stuff. Thanky !
I really enjoy their first record, it's personally one of my favorites of that early American punk movement. They've been kind of overshadowed over the years by other bands, but most of those bands were inspired in part by The Dead Boys anyway, so I think their impact is far wider than many people would realize.
I first saw and heard Stiv and the band The Lords of the New Church on MTV in high school. I really liked them with their semi goth look and punk rock snear. So I began learning more about them and I found out that Stiv had once sang for The Dead Boys. Which blew my mind when I remembered a friend of mine had played me their record back in the 7th grade. Lol I wait like holy sh*t! I liked them even more after putting that together.
I would suggest checking out Peter laughner’s solo stuff, it’s not on streaming services, so you have to get it on RUclips ITS AMAZING, Peter was a really interesting and versatile songwriter, it’s tragic that he died so young
Love your work man. If you're looking for ideas, exploring the debate on who released the first punk single might make a fun video. I'm of the opinion it was Aussie punk band, The Saints, but I've also heard the Pistols and even the Stooges suggested. In any case, it's a fun debate and worth a look. Cheers.
I think those bands were proto-punk. Patti was definitely not late to the actual start of punk. Patti’s Piss Factory single came out in 1974, so that beats New Rose. And most other punk songs. It’s just whether or not you call it punk.
RFTT was actually responsible for probably HALF of the Dead Boys songs, either written by Laughner or Cheetah. In fact, "Caught with the meat in your mouth" is ACTUALLY taken from "Never Gonna kill Myself Again". Go listen to it. RFTT basically generated about 5 bands, which influenced TONS of punk bands, Their stuff is heavier than the DB.s but not as lyrical.
@@soundofhistory_ alan vega was so scary while performing but later he'd be at the bar and we'd be talking about the double play that ken harrelson made in last night's game--they were great onstage
Dead boys are playing at music venue I do sound at. Or some version of them April QXTs in Newark NJ. If it is an shure SM7b the are industry standard for broadcast. You have to gain them very high. When going into you interface io. You might experience digital noise. I can’t tell if it is a microphone that looks like one that is usb ready or any other kind. Cloud lifer is an option. Klark Tecnik makes a booster that is $30 behringer makes one too. Any gain booster wil do you well
Nice job! I didn't realize Stiv was that old when it was all going down. Definitely Iggy Pop influenced. Lords Of The New Church were a slower, cleaned up band. Great tunes
Great video as always . One thing i will say and i dont want to spund like that guy so im sorry ahead of time.Genyas name is pronoinded "jen-ya " . I remember her having them take off their swastikas before they started recording ( rightuflly so) her being notnonly jewish but also being a drect holocaust surviver . ( much of her family was k*lled.) She herself has an impressive musical history with groups like Goldy and the ginger breads 10 wheel drive and her song" Love is a fire " being on warriors movie sound track with the Lizzies gang scene..and more. I also remember reading in Please Kill me about that fight incident and how it was a black physician that saved him .and how he marveled at that at the time because of him wearing the swastika .. .. its a ttrip alsl how Thomas formed Pere Ubu .hearing how he wanted nofhing to do with sounding like anyone else .we see that with that band .. ohio bands dont get much attention electric eeels the Styrenes are some other obscure bands poist psych pre punk type bands. But of course the most successful punk band to come out was Devo ..yeah i know people wouldn't consider them pubk now but back then all that stuff was new and edgy so it definatly was punk adjacent
Thanks! I don’t doubt you, but I did watch an interview where someone pronounced it how I pronounced it right before I recorded that part since I knew I’d screw it up. That interview coulda been wrong, though
Great video, but Blondie was never on Sire Records. They were on Private Stock and then Chrysalis. However, Sire did have many Punk/New Wave bands on their roster.
13:38 Uk embraced punk big time,pistols,clash,ruts,,undertones all had top 20 hits,even later on,crass ,discharge and american bands like dead kewnnedys had albums in the national charts.Punk in uk was more mainstream then grunge in the 90s
It seems like the mainstream public definitely did, but the mainstream media was a bit slower on the uptake (which is typical) and kind of forced into it by the record-buying public.

I love them too. Cleveland/Akron were a goldmine of great bands

Sonic Reducer rocks as hard today as 50 yrs ago
Longtime fan. Dead Boys never made a shit album. Well done summary.
I was never a big Dead Boys fan, but almost everyone else in the punk scene that I admired was, so I respect them. It's nice to see people give them some props. Thanks.
I am 67 years old and I still like listening to the Dead boys. I can not say that about of a lot of bands I used to like. Raw, Nasty and Fun!
I've watched the doc about Stiv called ' STIV ' a bunch of times, I love the stories about all his antics , the car surfing , the prank calls, etc.....good stuff. Thanky !
Actually, being known as a drinker and a fighter was a good thing to be known for at that age in Cleaveland back then.

Micheal Sticca - great doc. man ...
Great video thanks! LOVE Dead Boys!
My band opened for them recently and cheetah is cool telling me old stories and stuff
I would suggest checking out Peter laughner’s solo stuff, it’s not on streaming services, so you have to get it on RUclips ITS AMAZING, Peter was a really interesting and versatile songwriter, it’s tragic that he died so young
In the late 1970s when we were searching for punk music they were essential.
Well done! Thanks for the good work.
You should definitely do The Sainta. Great work!
I’ll add em to the list - thanks!
I’ve had moments of my life where the song Sonic Reducer was the only thing that kept me sane.
Commenting to boost the algorithm!
Thank you!
Love your channel! Thank You!
Thanks!

That would be interesting. I’ve always heard it was Patti Smith. Thanks!
@@soundofhistory_ Patti Smith was good, but she was VERY late to the game. Punk was generated by bands like the MC5, Sonics and 60's garage groups.
The first named punk single was the Damned "New Rose", written by Brian James. 1976.
I think those bands were proto-punk. Patti was definitely not late to the actual start of punk. Patti’s Piss Factory single came out in 1974, so that beats New Rose. And most other punk songs. It’s just whether or not you call it punk.
THE FIRST PUNK ROCK RELEASE WAS THE RAMONES. THEIR FIRST ALBUM. THIS ISN’T UP FOR A DEBATE. FACTS ARE FACTS. Everything else is Proto-Punk.
‘Ain’t it fun is actually a Rocket from the tombs song written by Peter Laughner.
HALF of the DB's songs were RFTT songs.
Great mini-doc on the band, good job!
Thanks!
Small correction; ain’t it fun was written by Peter laughner. For me at least the definitive version is by RFTT
RFTT was actually responsible for probably HALF of the Dead Boys songs, either written by Laughner or Cheetah.

one great 'band' at that time there was Suicide, just 2 guys, they opened for D Boys sometimes
@@richierugs6544 I want to do a video about them, but I think I’d struggle to get around RUclipss content filter with that one

Nice video, good insight. I think your equipment matters less than your storytelling and research - keep digging deep & bringing us videos on bands! 👍
Thank you!
funny enough, that farrah fawcett poster was made in cleveland 😂🎉
You can see how the Dead Boys influenced so many bands. Replacements for sure..
they could actually play as well..

Cheetah Crome… come
On, that’s the best stage name ever…
Nice job! I didn't realize Stiv was that old when it was all going down. Definitely Iggy Pop influenced.
Lords Of The New Church were a slower, cleaned up band. Great tunes
I haven't listened to much Lords of the New Church. I need to get on that
@@soundofhistory_ Post punk but kept a foot in the punk rock sound and writing, i.e. Little Boys Play With Dolls
The Lords of The New Church was a great band. Couldn't get enoiugh of Russian Roulette when I first heard it
@@commodore74 There's still a lot of it on my gym playlist
@@peterdaigle4772 Can imagine working out with Dance With Me, nice!

Blitz wasn’t so much stabbed but more like slashed open
at 9:48 that means lower east side
13:38 Uk embraced punk big time,pistols,clash,ruts,,undertones all had top 20 hits,even later on,crass ,discharge and american bands like dead kewnnedys had albums in the national charts.Punk in uk was more mainstream then grunge in the 90s

Lords of the New Church is quite good imo
I was lucky enough to randomly befriend Johnny is the early 2000's, cool guy, my son's mom and I had fondu with Johnny and his wife on our first date.
Man, that’s a great story haha
If it’s a sm7b get a cloud lifter
Thanks for your work, but it’s you talking, mainly. Some musical footage would have been nice.
Talk to RUclipss copyright system about that, not me
