      The thing you are missing is the explosive energy (danger and stench) of a live show.
      Movie/Documentary - The Decline of Western Civilization (recorded 1979/1980)
      Bad Brains - Big Take Over (Live 1982) CBGB's
      MINOR THREAT - 12XU Live (LA Rollerworks 1983)
      Different regions alot of times had different sounds., LA, Boston, North West, NY, UK, Sweden, Japan. Italy, Finland, Holland, Norway etc and things sometimes evolved very quickly. 77-80-85-90 etc
      Discharge
      Reality of War ep 1980
      Fight Back ep 1980 (fightback is an awesome dbeat classic song)
      Decontrol ep 1980
      Never Again ep 1981
      Why 12" ep 1981 (my favorite)
      State Violence State Control 7" 1982
      Hear Nothing See Nothing Say Nothing LP 1982
      The majority of the later records are garbage although there are recent records that I hear are ok.

      About the question where punk ends and hardcore begins. Its a bit of a misnoma, because hardcore IS punk. Basically after the first wave of punk bands in the 70s, when the scene started to grow more commercial you have a schism in punk, between the more commercial pop punk movement and the hardcorepunk movement. A lot of people, myself included, might argue that hardcore is the actual continuation of the anti establishment and diy mindset in punk.
      Also, when you say "this sounds like metal" its often actually metal sounding like hardcorepunk. There is a lot of cross pollination between the two. If you compare the two you might find that the rythm section, meaning drums and bass are often a lot more up front in hc than in metal.

      I wouldnt say totally because the influence is somewhat exaggerated. The speed, heavy metal, punk and hard rock influences were stronger on those bands
      Metallica was trying to be a diamond head clone, Slayer a venom/judas priest one, Anthrax were way more heavy metal and Megadeth were probably the most influenced ones.

    Discharge is one of the most influential hardcore bands of all time. They were one of the first bands not only to play that face meltingly fast and hard but also to include more tough, hard edged metal solos in punk songs. They paved the way for crust punk, grindcore, powerviolence, any other obscure genre of extreme punk edged heavy music. Bands like Napalm death and even some early death metal bands will cite them as a key influence, not to mention the whole wave of “d-beat” bands that basically exist to copy discharge as closely as possible (disclose, disfear, disarm, etc, notice a pattern here?) super sick band I would also recommend you check out the songs Aint No Feeble Bastard, Hear Nothing See Nothing Say Nothing, Protest and Survive, Cries of Help

    Funny enough, you did say "this is like metal" and you aren't wrong at all.
    Punk and heavy metal are both sub-genres of rock, but heavy metal is specifically a heavier form of hard rock. Hardcore punk is punkrock + hard rock, but punkrock + heavy metal can also fall under that category, so long as the majority of it is punk.
    If there's more metal in it than punk, it's thrash metal... and if you add hardcore punk into thrash metal (making it a more balanced middle ground) you'll end up with "grindcore" or "crossover thrash", and of course their sub-genres and off-shoots.
    So yeah... punk + metal can be hardcore, but it can also be a bunch of other things. And hardcore can have either metal or hard rock, in the mix with punk

    I really just came here for Sick of it All. It is the remastered (possibly rerecorded) version, so it does sound way clearer and punchy than the original, but that's kind of how they always sounded live. My favourite band and the first band I ever saw.

    I've listened to all these bands from the start and still do. Love your excitement ha. I was 11 (1981... ) when I brought home my first Discharge 45 and it still makes me react the same way as you did here. A cool side note to me is that most punk bands were/are pretty real. Meaning, the music was made from a natural place. Not made for fame, not to get girls or boys, not for egos and surely not for money. Its was, for majority, made from heart, angst, frustration and/or pure fun. A genre of music that for many around the world, came with a movement, a lifestyle. It personally gave me friends and a place I belonged, soo much more than just the music.

    Hello Kira, compliments for your choices, these bands are all amazing, even if I have to say I didn't expect to find a band like Discharge among these Hardcore bands. Discharge are one of the first UK punk bands, like Subhumans, GBH, Partisans, Disorder, Chaos UK, Blitz, UK Subs, etc. But when I was young my favourite punk bands were the so-called "anarcho-bands", first of all CRASS, then Conflict, Poison girls, Chumbawamba, Dirt, Rubella Bullets, Zounds, Flux Of Pink Indians, etc. They were very creative bands, for example Karma Sutra were really an incredible band, I'd like to see the reaction of your face if you listened to the song "When the music stops".... I am so curious..... ☺

So thats why Hardcore songs were often short & fast. Just an explosion of angry youth expression.

    As some other people mentioned, Discharge isn't really "hardcore punk" per se , they more or less created the sound of and later on genre "D-beat" (the drumming rythm in the song you listened to). Street Punk is a genre that is very related to it but may or may not contain the D-beat. The bands of these genres was a MAJOR influence to Speed Metal, Thrash Metal and Black Metal.
    Think the easiest way to distinguish these bands is that the Hardcore Punk bands emerged in the 80s in USA, influenced by early UK Punk. D-beat and Street Punk emerged in the UK, without/minor influences of the bands in USA. That's why they sound quite a bit different.

    • @RibeiroGames12
      @RibeiroGames12 4 місяці тому +2

      GBH and the Exploited were very influential to many metal bands but I wouldn't say they were to speed metal tbh. Speed metal was created by Motorhead in 77, but there were a couple of songs before them made by budgie, Scorpions, deep purple, riot, queen, judas priest, etc that were speed metal
      So speed metal influenced street punk not the other way around.

    With hindsight I think British bands like Discharge and GBH were really influenced by Motorhead's sound. I didn't see this at the time because they seemed like different genres. Motorhead played reasonably large venues at the time but Discharge etc played smaller shows were you could get quite close to the stage and speakers.
