The Dead Boys!

[Foxhound]

When you need to punk out, these fellows will get you there, oh yes they will, heeee, heeeee! I can speak from personal experience here. I had the fortune/misfortune to see - and hear - these fellows "perform" live at the New Yorker Theater on Yonge Street in Toronto when I was a callow youth, but already cynical, youth in 1977. It took me years to fully recover from the experience. So trust me when I say that these fellows are the real deal.

For you sceptics out there, here's exhibit one:

Dead Boys Biography

And here's the Dead Boys' personnel (if you can call them that of course):

Stiv Bators - lead vocals
Jimmy Zero - guitar, background vocals
Johnny Blitz - drums
Cheetah Chrome - guitar, background vocals
Jeff Magnum - bass

For those of you who can still stomach more, here are video clips of a couple of their more savage assaults on the sensibilities of the music loving public. (Don't say I didn't warn you.)



Now if you have any complaints, take them elsewhere because you won't get much of a hearing from me, punk.

Nice thread...at least I think it is Fox.

I will pass on the videos, I'm not a big fan of most punk bands.

But the band photo you opened with is hilarious,,,I am sure I'm not the only one who will have something to say about it.

Great Photo,Flower!

I'll post a little bit tomorrow on the Dead Boys(It's abouttime to go to bed). Young Loud & Snotty is another "Must Have" Punk album!

Definitely a must have rtbuck ^^

there's no way to describe it except for, "thats f**king punk rock!" I have loved every clip I've seen live and I can imagine that would have been an intense show, not one you walk away with much less than a black eye, or a good smack to the nose..... Who ever came up with the title "Young, Loud, and Snotty" is brilliant as well, it really describes the whole punk scene very well, awesome album with an awesome title, and Live At CBGB is so cool as well

Not a lot of posts on this.

Awesome band.

Definitely brought more violence to punk shows and their first album is their best with out a doubt.

I love the bands that pay tribute to them.

Here are some videos of them doing so.
Also when you have Joey Ramone sing your song when he is consider the father of punk well then you must have done something right.



Mark Arm with Pearl Jam/ Green River.

Awesome band.

I agree. Pity they don't get more support.

I agree. Pity they don't get more support.

They actually seem to have a decent underground following from some of the folks my age, I haven't seen much talk of them for a while, but they are always on the influence list of the up and coming punk rockers... I agree though, they do still deserve more
