***** If you want to piss off someone who identfies himself as punk that question. Punk is a youth subculture (and punk rock a music genre) and when it emerged it was basically characterized by anti-establishment and anti-authoritarian views, they fancied themselves as nonconformists and expressed it trough their outfits and attitude. When you readf a bit about the roots you can understand how and why the culture emerged but it quickly became as conformistic as any other youth culture. Just look at the whole scene police and the poser name calling among punks. Quizz any of these guys what's it all about and don't let them give you the runaround but nail them down and you'll realize they have no clue and there's no substance to it.

TheMundusvultdecipi : That's it. They follow a trend. Do you know that kids today, who consider themselves to be "punks" (I call it kiddie-punk, you know that "Green Day/ Emo/metrosexual crap), pay hundreds of euros or dollars to maintain their style? Chlothes, boots, pins, hair spray and that expensive shit. They are victims of consumerism and they don't get it. They are just posers with no individual standpoint. Like everybody who follows a trend. Sheep. Greg Graffin once said, you don't need a fucking mohawk to be punk. It's about attitude and how you view your life and the world around you.

@TheMundusvultdecipi

7 жыл бұрын

Yeah I know and I also understand very well how such trends work and the kids tick in that regard because after all I once was a conformistic kid who desperately tried to fit in (happened to be the punk/anarcho scene in my case) too until I matured and started to realize that I had no real inner convictions but merely parroted the blabber of those around me and behaved like I thought a punk had to behave. I also realized what a hypocrite I'd been since for a while I used to run around with self-proclaimed anarchists who fancied themselves revolutionaries and avantgarde, they smashed some McDonalds window and thought they'd done something to better the world and drank cheap imported beer while doing so. Almost all still lived at home and received money from their parents or were on welfare or received other benefits from the evil capitalistic state. See we all could give you handily a list full of antis, we were against this and against that but we couldn't tell you what kind of society we longed for, we lacked the pros so to speak and when asked about that resorted to vague ambigous statements. As for punk, frankly I don't really get what it means or stands for. Like I said I know it's history and how it evolved over time but when someone self-identifies as "punk" in 2016 what does it mean (I mean other than a fashion statement and listening to a certain genre)? An anti-authoritarian stance is pretty clear and doesn't need much explaining but anti-establishment is already quite vague imo. Or when you say "it's about attitude", what does that really mean? It would be enough and much more clear to state I'm an individualist or a person who strives to be an autonomous being (in the sense of Kantian ethics) instead of saying I'm punk.

Thinking about the origins of the whole punk music scene and how kids viewed the Pistols as such rebels back then I just remembered something funny. I'm a huge admirer of author W.S. Burroughs and in one docu I watched about him Jello Biafra recounted how he once attended this literature convention with many so-called Beat authors back in the Seventies. The Pistols God save the Queen had been recently released and they became hugely popular so someone at that convention asked Burroughs what he thought about the Pistols and that song. He replied "Well I don't get what should be so shocking or rebellious when kids with colored spiky hair perform a song where they sing God save the Queen. If you ask me about my feelings towards that old cunt, my parole would be "Bugger the Queen" and according to Biafra he shouted it repeatedly and the whole crowd joined in and would chant "Bugger the Queen"! And that parole came from a 63 old man. Just a very telling episode about the whole punk phenomena if you ask me.

TheMundusvultdecipi Burroughs was an intelligent, old man. And also funny. Just as Jello Biafra is. Reading Jello's lyrics, even today, make me happy and frightend at the same time. So cynical with a very twisted kind of humour. The Dead Kennedys did more to my upbringing than the Sex Pistols ever could. Maybe I am too young for the Pistols (I'm 46) and I didn't get the impact they had on society. But even in the 80s they always seemed to be more about image and fashion than music, you know, like the shadow of the big Sex Pistols. Never impressed me. There are so many great punk bands out there, but it's always the Pistols that made the news and got the fame.Talking about non-conformity, ey? I was never a fan. I always prefered bands like the Dead Boys, the Damned and of course the Misfits. Or crazy shit like the Cramps. The Pistols were more like poster boys than musicians. At least to me.

The producer of the Overkill album knew just how effective Phil's drumming was - almost every song on that album has a strong drum fill or faded up beat at the start - listen to Philthy's intro to Stay Clean - fast, precise, perfectly controlled, seems to be four or five different techniques over five or six bars of free time. Then the drum intro to Capricorn, rising up in the mix to full volume. He seemed to combine the effortless creativity and inventiveness of a John Bonham or an Ian Paice but at more unpredictable and explosive rate of knots!? It's hard to sum up Phil Taylor's drumming but he knew his stuff - you can bet your bottom dollar he was studying the likes of Buddy Rich drum scores as if his life depended on it and in the maelstrom of the late 1970s Punk rock revolution, Motorhead's attitude and style made them the perfect bedfellows for the likes of the Damned and the Pistols and gave the green light to the fledgling NWOBHM that spawned Iron Maiden then Thrash Metal and beyond. RIP Phil, Eddie & Lemmy!

Very interesting vid. Both Lemmy and Phil had a habit of telling interviewers that their questions were stupid. All three of the classic lineup were such characters. So interesting. Having listened to many of the interviews, I get the impression that Fast Eddie was the most affable in nature.

A true Motörhead! RIP

Great drummer... And one hell of a character. R.i.P Phil.

I remember reading the review of the first Motörhead album in ‘Sounds’. That was a weekly - yes, weekly - music newspaper for those not old enough to remember. Described as ‘a vinyl neutron bomb’. Bought it the same day on spec and never looked back. John Peel then gave them a punt; he liked their attitude. Then. That double bass drum on the opener on the next album Overkill was and still is immense. Philthy nailed it. Talent mixed with various illegal comestibles. Still makes me grin as I hear it now. Philthy is an icon. As we say here ‘a wee see you next Tuesday’ but a great drummer and a wonderful guy.
