I used to have the original broadcast of this MuchMusic special. It looks like they updated it a bit but I LOVED this when it came out and had since lost my copy. Cheers to you for posting this!!!
Kim Clarke Champniss! Of my favorite DJ's growing up on the west coast. Great interviews, and will go bare knuckles with any entertainer! ;) Great video series, I grew up going to the Smiling Buddha on Hastings at the beginning of Vancouver's budding punk scene. Great times! Music was still fun then. ;)
Cleaning out some old tapes, and I just found my VHS copy of this special with a broadcast date of March 8, 1992 noted on the label. And it begins with Janna Lynn White and Kim Clarke Champniss introducing it. Don't know about additional footage, as mentioned, but then again, I haven't watched both that closely. Whatever, glad to see it posted. Would have put my copy up if it wasn't already here.
Joey mentions there a forerunner to punk that a lot of people neglect to mention: British "pub rock" bands like Dr. Feel Good, and The Pirates etc. The Pirates pretty much present an example of one band seamlessly transitioning from a rockabilly band in the late 50s to a Punk band in the mid 70s.
the Viletones...The Diodes....D.O.A......Canada had a great scene..The Dead Boys....The Dictators..D.M.Z......The U.K.,France,Ireland,Australia,N.Z......all great scenes early on.
@@bibolehabib I photographed some of the western Canadian bands (Vancouver) Subhumans, D.O.A., Young Canadians, Pointed Sticks, Modernettes....seen The Stranglers, Iggy Pop, Alien Sex Fiend etc "back in the day"....Can't believe I posted my 1st comment 7 years ado...cheers!
Simon Evans used to come into my work in the Danforth and I would get soooo starstruck it was pathetic. I met Bono and offended him I didn't care so much but Simon. Oh boy!
The UK punk scene came from BORDOM shit music shit economic growth for the working classes not Americans .they just won't have it will they hahaha great post thanks.

I remember watching this on MuchMusic on its original release. Oh so many years ago.... good times!
The irony is that this was aired right as grunge was starting. It hadn't changed the music industry yet

Nice archive you've post here...I'm feeling ancient remembering hearing The Damned, Pistols, Ramones, Vibrators, Dead Boys for the first time.
I still listen to them all !
Saw PIL five years ago, The Damned, Vibrators and the Stranglers three years ago !

Remember Larry's Hideaway in Toronto? What a dump that place was. I think it's a botanical garden now.
still have my vhs copy of this, that I recorded during march break in '92...formative, to say the least.
