Punk Documentary 1976 

Glad you did! The history of our music is important and should be available to all. Appreciate you stopping by!

Agreed

That's because Lydon was taking the piss right from the start. It's a part of Lydon's personal 'makeup' to take the mickey out of people and society. "Do you ever feel like you've been cheated?" Classic Lydon. Some people are going to hate me saying that McClaren doesn't get enough credit for the whole "Rock n Roll Swindle" concept. "The stupid fools that stand in line...like EMI." Malcolm made huge money out of A & M Records. Record companies were climbing over each other to profit from The Sex Pistols. Record companies had nothing to do with the Pistol's success. Pistol's success was purely down to the Band and Malcolm.

Wookies

Yeah, look at those wooks sucking that overpriced nitrous 😁🎈🎈🎈

Great band!! 1,2,3,4!!

Cannot believe people post about Gaming on Punk Videos LMFAO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@aotctd my favorite combo! COD and some Exploited! Running and Gunning!

Absolutely!!

Who cares, we had punk bans in Yugoslavia in the same time. Punk is an international phenomenon. Of course UK and USA are more exposed, but Australia gave us one of the best punk albums ever, STRANDED by THE SAINTS,. 1976

​​@@anfrankogezamartincic1161Please recommend those punk Yugoslavian bands, I would appreciate

Bit like the septics with the British ,even though you speak our language ,judge and jury system ,common law ,use the names of some of our cities and so on so f.you

@@anfrankogezamartincic1161 I was supposed to be doing my school 'homework' when Sydney Radio station JJ 1540am first played "(I'm) Stranded" by Brisbane Band "The Saints". I thought "OMG, WTF is this?" "The Saints" are credited with the 'first' PUNK release. Even before "The Damned" After "The Saints" I heard "The Ramones" "Beat on the Brat" then "The Sex Pistols." Countdown showed the BBC interview with Rotten outside the fences of Buckingham Palace and I sat a metre from the TV. It all happened so quickly in 1976. Sydney Band "Radio Birdman" were ripping up the LIVE scene as well. "Radio Birdman" are constantly cited as the major influence on the future of Australian Rock Bands. Both "The Saints" and "Birdman" disbanded (fell apart) in 1978, though the fuse had been lit. The Australian music scene exploded. Luckily I was old enough to experience and witness it all. Our brilliant Australian music scene was made possible by a great Labor Government led by the Mighty Gough Whitlam. This Labor Government funded the amazing TV music program called "Countdown" and the Radio Station JJ1540am. Who said Music and Politics don't mix. "The Saints" were oblivious to any 'scenes' or what they had done. In the mid-70's Queensland was under the control of a near 'Fascist' regime that got into power with 29% of the vote. They moved the electorate boundaries so that the majority of the votes got the minority of the seats. The Police would burst into gigs and confiscate the Band's equipment. Not just "The Saints" other Bands as well. Brisbane was a sleepy little 'backwater' of a 'town' in the 70's. The music scene in Brisbane was stirring things up, making people think. The 'Fascist' regime wanted to shut them down. Britain didn't get Thatcher until 1979 - 1990. When Thatcher died a mate of mine said "Ding Dong, the Witch is Dead" I'll never fully understand why the British Working Class would vote for a Monster like Thatcher. I always liked The Clash's politics more than their music. RIP - Joe Strummer, a Working Class Hero

Ha!!! For real!

That would get boring but it would bring might break the monotony every now and then from 10 minute long suites from Mozart rockers.

Another state of mind documentary?

I remember USA, Up! All night and Night flight!

@@PunkRockChannel ? no, thats on this channel, yes? No this was about a group of young males that play punk that lived in the State of Washington in what i remember to be an abandoned house together with girlfriends. They were broke, didnt know if they were going to get enough $ to play gig with other bands somewhere in cali. The majority of the film involved their lifestyles, they eventually made it, played a hammer down boomin’ set. i just taped the last 3-4 songs, teeth grittin’ shite. Like i said its been a loooooong time, my memory of it is fading, i just want to hear the shit. I looked up up all night films…nuthin but b horror films. I have NOT checked Night Flight and i think that THAT is the one. Night Flight came on AFTER Up All Night and i remember the sun coming up right after sooo….ill tell ya what i WILL find it somewhere and refer YOU to it. ill take da bitch to da nursing home before long and knock em dead🫨

Great post!!! Thank you! The Saints are very underrated!

Punk is the same value system as that of Crowley. The spirit and world view that he embodied. That same value has echoed throughout the decades. Though changing its tones here and changing its wardrobe and tempo there. It has always remained, lingered, festered even. It has grown on the back of society like a wicked fungus, as we now find ourselves in the dead centre of a new age and aeon of Horus.

Ha!! That's awesome brother. What were your experiences with them and in what capacity did you work? This is a rare opportunity to learn more about them in my opinion. Thank you for the post!

Acme was very common back in the day. Don't know why though.

A bit longer than 6months but by the end of 1977 definitely.

well, still happy I discovered it for myself in the early 80s.

@@markgallagher2386By the start of 77 though it started to become commercialized which spelt the end of the original scence and it become something else entirely, the media always destroys social movements

@@jeremyjames8678 That's because the Capitalist system has to jump on the Band Wagon and 'capitalise' on a product.

It was over as soon as the new groups were not concerned with what there is to be learned and started turning rebellion into money.

Punk fashion was and is a double-edged sword.

Punk Rock belongs to everyone! Glad you dig it! Appreciate you stopping by!

Love the post!! Very true.

Agreed.

Good find indeed! Appreciate your point of view!

Punk Rock is for all, there should be no gate keepers. Live free!

The Saints were awesome and had a great sound!

Appreciate it!

Appreciate it!!!!!!

It's ok we understand you 👍🥁🎸

There were so many great first wave bands that never got the play they should have. The Blood Stains and Killed by Death help people listen to forgotten bands as well as the documentaries that were made. Are there any newer bands you like?

Hell yeah!!
