That's too bad. The Bad Brains didn't come to NYC until 1981. And it wasn't until '82 that they started playing shows to a nearly empty CBGB's. Before long though, the place was filling up. They practically started the whole legendary matinee shows at CBs. As a kid, I lived at Chrystie and Stanton Streets, literally a five minute walk to that shithole, so I was basically ordained to wind up at those shows. The neighborhood was the dregs of humanity, but it was ours. I miss old NYC.

It hits harder at this speed. There were plenty of bands who slowed down their shit as they progressed and it lost some of the impact.

Seeking out and listening to a particular band's early musical influences appears to be a natural and ongoing phenomenon. In regard to the Beastie Boys, several band names are usually tossed out as having influenced them during their formative years: groups like the Clash, the Ramones, Black Flag, Minor Threat and even Kiss usually come up when the question is asked in magazine and television interviews. However in the June 1994 issue of Guitar World, Adam Yauch cited just how important the Bad Brains were to him. "He's (Bad Brains's bassist Daryl Jenifer) the musician who most influenced my playing. Though stuff I play now is in a different vein, if you listen to our hardcore tracks, I think you can hear his influence. On the knowledge tip, definitely go and see the Bad Brains every time they play. I've seen them like 50 times. I climb up on something where I can get a good view of Jennifer's hands, and just jones. He's an unbelievable bassist."

It doesn't mean there's not good punk & hardcore right now & always will be, it doesn't mean that this art & music can't live again in a different form, it just means that punk rock as punk was invented and intended, died then.....forever.
