4:35 How would this be a "return to" 3 chord rock & roll? What was the 3 chord rock before that? Rock came from the blues, and blues players always knew how to play a guitar way beyond just 3 chords. Who in the 50s & 60s were the 3 chorders? You had your Motown stuff, your surf guitar bands, etc.
"Punk" and "punk rock" was used in the USA before that 1976 magazine just sayin'. There were bands calling themselves "punk", and sounding like punk, around the USA by that time just sayin'. This idea that it was first "fully realized" in the UK is not true. LOL this is such a sore spot with Brits....
