Yeah, the Ramones formed in '74, first album came out in Feb. '76, and that was around the time the term "punk" started taking its current meaning. But there had been rumblings on both sides of the pond for quite some time. Kids were fed up with the status quo.

I'm fascinated by the development of "proto-punk" into punk. For example, when I hear Helter Skelter, I think it must have been an influence on punk and grunge.

@mariano -- yup! think i was still in high school, had a subscription to PUNK magazine . . . but was so weird, all of a sudden mainstream media decided to call it "punk" . . . and people have bickered over where "punk" actually started; my impression is that when some of the bands went over to the UK, the whole movement exploded

With me it was one of my uncles, only 8 years older so kind of like a older brother. When I was around 8 I started hanging out in his room listening to his tunes, he was really into Zappa, Beefheart, and Mahavishnu. Then he discovered punk so he played me the first Ramones and Tubes I ever heard, as well as the Sid Vicious "My Way." I remember being really shocked that the Ramones wore torn jeans.

@Ultradamno - Burnette indeed sounds punk. That early date echoes what many punk rockers thought - they weren't counter or alt rock, they were returning it to an earlier form.

@somm Punk was about stripping away the layers of keyboards/synths, lyrics about wizards and elfs, glitter jumpsuits and ladies’ makeup, and the other crap that had glommed onto rock n roll over the previous 10 years.

Yep, ultradamno. Everyone including Grundy was really drunk apparently, and Steve Jones got ticked at him when he made a comment to Siouxsie about meeting her backstage later, called him a "dirty old fucker" or something like that. One of the best things to happen on TV. The most awkward detail is perhaps that Siouxsie was wearing a swastika armband.

Speaking of Tom Snyder, his interview with Kiss, when Ace was absolutely wasted, is some good watching. Ace has this hyena laugh that's weirdly infectious, and he kept interrupting and pissing off Gene. Which makes it all the better.

Jayne County is the coolest! met her (and Leee Black Childers!) when she did a signing at Tower for her "Are You Man Enough To Be A Woman" -- i was working there and had ALL the 45s, EPs with me -- they were happy that i still had them!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:18am
mariano:

Yeah, I think in the early days of UK punk the swastika was meant to shock and wasn't a pro-Nazi thing. I think part of it is that WWII means different things to different countries. For the US it's much more about the Holocaust than in the UK. In the UK it's much more about how they held out alone against Germany till the US joined the war. I think for the UK punks at the time, the swastika was more a symbol of affront to British society in general.

Oh shit, did I get that detail wrong about Siouxsie? I'm both really sorry and really relieved. Stupid memory.

@ mariano - I think you're probably right some UK peeps made use of the swastika in kind of a tongue-in-cheek way. Scary thing about this guy at the Misfits concert was that he was under 30, definitely well past that ironic usage.

Well, I think a lot the same thing was the case with the US punk as well, I don't think The Stooges, Ramones, Dictators or Blondie were nazis or white supremacists, it was just a deliberately offensive, juvenile gesture

@ ultradamno, fair point. At least that band Dicks from Austin set the record straight on being Anti-Fascist. The Clash in UK fought for the left.

Did all those groups use swastikas? Never thought about it, but I guess I can see it. I remember a while back seeing a shot of the MC5 on stage back in the day, a Confederate flag as the backdrop. Obviously they weren't white supremacists, I think back then lots of people saw it more as a general symbol of rebellion.

Ilsa was probably another active influence along with Night Porter, there something going on in the mid to late seventies across the board with swastika fetishism.

Yeah. About half the personnel from those bands are Jewish. I don’t think they were nazis.

I don't if they all wore swastikas for sure, Asheton certainly had a full stormtrooper uniform and there's a lot of referencing in Ramones lyrics (Dee Dee grew up in Berlin, which has something to do with it), Blondie are named after Hitler's dog and definitely did some dress up, Dictators had Master Race Rock and stuff like that. Meanwhile, The New York Dolls went Soviet, which was the other end of the same impulse.

True, ultradamno. They don't fit neatly into the goth category. Still pretty dark though. But they have elements of funk and disco in the rhythm of some songs: 16th notes on the high hats, bass playing runs of octaves, etc.
