    The the city is so gentrified now, but The 86's are still making music today in the classic 70's NY punk style. A few members of the band are from the old scene and Detroit at the time. ruclips.net/video/qsjnrzy2Frk/видео.html

      TheBigMclargehuge Gentrification is a double edged sword and there is always two sides to it. While there are some good things that can come out of it, if not done right it can completely ruin a neighborhoods character.

      @@TheBigMclargehuge You forgot the sarcasm font.
      For a second I actually thought that you favored gentrification and its soul-sucking evil. The Bowery has never been the same since the money moved in. Sure, it's cleaner and safer, but it's unrelatable and shallow, essentially like any old dormitory suburb. NYC deserves better.
      Every since Robert Moses, Manhattan has failed to preserve its essential values that made it interesting to begin with.

      @@NYC_Metal_Scene That's great, and as Johnny Thunders famously sang in the late 70s, "you can't put your arms around memories." As if to say, we need to live in the moment rather than sulk that the past has indeed passed. But this period at CBGB's was my sweet spot of late teens, early twenties. The difference compared to the punk that lingers today is that it was happening for the first time in the late 60s and through the 70s. It was new and radically different, and many of the bands at that time were still somewhat melodic with poignant lyrics compared to the banal hardcore screaming punk that followed from the 90s and onwards.
      Bands, writers and visual artists doing the same thing now are purely 100% derivative. Only those who experience an original period understand the additional power of radical change. I agree, there are far more options today, but they're tangents rather than replacements.

    I feel bad for anyone who didn't live through this era. I was 21 in 1977 and had just finished college. I came back to NYC (I'm from the Bronx) and everywhere you went there were incredible experiences. In that one year I saw Patti Smith, Television, Pere Ubu, The Ramones, Elvis Costello, Rockpile, Eric Emerson and the Magic Tramps, The Dolls and way too many more band to list. It was an incredible time to be young and free and living in NYC.

    Saw the original lineup of the Dead Boys at the Whiskey-A-Go Go in LA in the spring of 1980. We took Stiv after the show down to 7-11 as he could buy beer and gave him money to buy us a 12-pack and we sat in the parking lot drinking beers with him. I was 15 and having the time of my life. Saw him a few years later at Perkins Palace with Lords of The New Church, which I had to admit was even better. R.I.P. Punk Rock Legend

      This is the first time I've ever heard these guys, and I would've thought they were a British punk band if I hadn't heard their introduction at the beginning. They look like a British punk band!
      As far as the Sex Pistols are concerned, I know more about Sid Vicious's personal life than I know about his personal musical history. From what I always heard, he was hired by the Sex Pistols not because of any inherent musical talent, but because of his "punk" attitude and image. He was hired into the band, then told to learn how to play an instrument! In other words, their band creation dynamic worked out in the opposite way that its _supposed to_ ....
      I grew up in the 80s, so I was a big metal fan. When I hear people mention the Sex Pistols, then say that 80s metal was just an offshoot and a natural progression of 70s punk, I'll usually say something like, "ok, but if that's true, then metal is basically like the Sex Pistols, but with talent and songwriting skill"! That usually doesn't go over well.

    The Dead Boys were a great live band. Manic energy, back when punk felt dangerous and unpredictable - as if anything could happen. I saw them in 1977 at the Starwood in Hollywood. I always liked Stiv, but you can really see the Iggy influence. Saw the Stooges in 1973 and many other times, you can see where Stiv got a lot of his attitude and moves (like the backbend) - the Dead Boys do a great cover of the Stooges' search and destroy here.

      PaulLonden would u say Ron Asheton is underrated? Honestly I think he’s revered as one of the greatest of all time but not everyone knows his name. But Williamson was and is filthy. All those Raw Power songs were from riffs Williamson came up with. He directly inspired Johnny Ramone for his loud extremely aggressive in your face playing. He didn’t play around he just brought it. He is such a timid and anxious guy. He probably got all of his anger and frustration out jamming.

      Hi Kevin
      you are right. I saw the dead boys November 1977 in London at the roundhouse. They were ' special guests' while the Damned were the main act. But after the Dead Boys rocked the stage, the Damned Show was kind of boring in my opinion.
      1 or 2 weeks later the Ramones rocked the roundhouse too, but I got no more money for a second London trip, sad but true.

    A band cursed, A fiery gem of a revolution to Nowhere. As we can miraculously hereby witness , the stage was their sanctuary. But you can't really put your arms around a memory. Flabbergasting stage delivery. The Pistols looked and sounded humourous like the cockneys they were - The Dead Boys just sounded ...dangerous and dangerously off rails.

    This worked because of the genuine nature of the Dead Boys plus the world wasn't ready for this...scan the TV and music section of this exact date and be amazed. This was truly underground culture and was as dangerous as Elvis Cash Berry the 20 years prior.

    The day the music died was not when Valens, Holly and the Big Bopper died. Nor was it the day Lennon was shot. Likewise with Cobain. The day the music died was when STIV left this mortal coil. RIP STIV.

      @@gogoyubari366 weird response but ok. They’re legends in the punk world but even then they don’t always seem to get the acclaim they deserve. Snotty is rightfully hailed as a classic album but you don’t see people talk about them that much. They’ve also been touring lately and not that many people seemed to go to those shows. They get mentioned in classic punk band discussions but I don’t see dead boys merch/stickers/patches that often. They were also just a great rock band generally and great performers.

    The Dead Boys, hailing from Cleveland, OH, stand as an unparalleled force in the annals of music history, securing their place as the greatest and most influential band of their time. Their legendary performance at the iconic CBGB in New York City serves as a testament to their explosive energy and raw talent that left an indelible mark on the punk rock scene.
    As they took the stage at CBGB, The Dead Boys unleashed a sonic onslaught that transcended conventional boundaries. Their music, characterized by a visceral intensity and rebellious spirit, became a defining sound of the punk movement. The intensity of their performance at CBGB encapsulated the essence of an era marked by defiance and a rejection of societal norms.
    Tragically, the untimely passing of frontman Stiv Bators left an irreplaceable void in the music world. Bators, with his charismatic stage presence and distinctive vocals, became the face of The Dead Boys and an emblematic figure in punk culture. His legacy endures, as his influence continues to resonate through the rebellious spirit of countless artists who followed in his footsteps.
    In commemorating The Dead Boys, we not only celebrate a band that reshaped the musical landscape but also pay homage to the enduring impact of Stiv Bators and his comrades. Their contributions remain etched in the fabric of punk rock, immortalizing The Dead Boys as pioneers who ignited a musical revolution that reverberates to this day.
