The '76-77 punk 'revolution' seemed a damp squib to me. I expected it to take over like beat music in the '60s, but the charts seemed to stay mostly full of Boney M and disco! Then Thatcher got in, punks younger brothers the New Romantics morphed into style over substance yuppies, and the 'suits' took over the music biz... And here we are.
Punk’s not a musical movement - it’s a state of mind . Climate change protesters /Greenpeace / anyone that actually turns their concerns into actions are todays punks IMO
In 1977 I saw them live and got to go backstage after the gig. Just a few days later was invited to do a live radio interview with them. They were proper down to earth lads with big hearts and Sid apart were good musicians. The energy of that gig still lives with me. They never took themselves seriously. Those who criticise them just don’t get it.
In 1982 The Dead Kennedys toured Australia and it was my first live concert as a 16 year old and it left a long lasting impression. Holiday in Cambodia, California ubber alles, Too drunk to fuck are absolute bangers
@@glennrandall7468 I've seen them a handful of times, once on the mall in Washington DC. Jello pointed to the Washington Monument and referred to it as "The great Klans man in the sky"
@vortex63 Give it a listen,, The most stolen/ripped off group/song in music history,, By groups/songs like Killing Joke "Love Like Blood" & Nirvana "Come As You Are" ..Etc..Etc.
This was my era. Lived it, was part of it and yes it was the best time of my life! It would be hard to re create this era it was fantastic! I wish I had a time machine and go back and re live this again there's been nothing like this since!
My understanding is that the line 'Cheap Holidays in other people's misery' alludes to cheap package holidays in Spain during the time it was still under the rule of General Franco - a nationalist dictator who seized power following the spanish civil war in 1936. During the war he was assisted by Nazi troops from Germany and Fascists from Italy and overthrew the democratically elected government. He only died in 1975. Brits regularly holidayed in Spain from the late 1950's onward.
There are some Dead Kennedys that would hit hard today: Let's Lynch the Landlord, Kill the Poor, and Chemical Warfare are all good class struggle anthems.
Side 1, song 1 of Never Mind The Bollocks. Dead Kennedys were a much more refined socio-political message with talented musicians. I grew up with this music and still love it
My friend bought “Pretty vacant “ when he was 14. He played it at home and his dad walked in, lifted it off the turntable and snapped it in half. He threw it in the bin and told my mate “Your not playing that rubbish in this house”. My mate laughs about it now.
Listen to Stiff Little Fingers: Alternative Ulster, Suspect Device, Silver Lining, Piccadilly Circus, Hits and Misses (I consider this the first Punk Rock feminist song), At the Edge, Nobody's Hero, Gotta Get Away, and Wasted Life.
One of the greatest albums of the times!! It WAS a vibe, it was a movement!!! I can’t remember a similar moment in music. The ONLY political music I can listen to!
They were not manufactured by anybody,and they already had that different look going before wearing VW and MMs clothes - short hair,straight trousers,etc especially Rotten who had the ripped and torn,safety pin look going all by himself.It was Cok n Jones who started the band and wrote the first song,then they got Glen in and he wrote some more - hardly manufactured.Rotten then wrote the lyrics - again,hardly manufactured. Steve Jones also used to steal clothes from there before MM even had anything to do with them. BTW "have" and "Vivienne"
One of my students asked if we could ever get back to this musical moment (he said I grew up when music mattered)... As a GenXer, and based on the responses you mentioned about SP, I seriously doubt it. But I love your reaction! Keep offending the right people!
Sex Pistols, RAMONES, Clash, Dead Kennedys, Gang Of Four, Stiff Little Fingers, The Dead Boys, etc. Aaahh, those were the days Today’s bands that are similar are Against Me, Rise Against, The Explosion, Anti-Flag, IDLES, Turnstile, etc.
Dead Kennedys biggest songs are California uber alles and holiday is Cambodia. I'd love to hear a reaction to some of their later songs like Stars and Stripes of corruption or MTV get off the air
It was a great time to be young in the UK .. I was a teenager . Anarchy was the order of the day . Altho times were hard , we fought back as much we cld .. i only wish young people now be as questionable abt their leaders and the unfair policies of capitalism .
If you're enjoying discovering punk of the era, can I respectfully suggest you check out seminal Australian punk band, The Saints? Their first hit, "(I'm) Stranded" was a few years before the Pistols, and legend has it that Malcolm McLaren heard it and the genesis of Sex Pistols was created. Personally, my favourite Saints song is "Know Your Product," an anti consumerism anthem that breaks so much ground for the sound that would influence acts like Clash and so many others
The song is about the Berlin Wall, a wall built to separate Communist East from Democratic West Berlin. The wall was torn down in 1989. Got that Trump! Walls are not a good thing!
Not for dividing the same country they aren't but for defending your self from another country and illegal immigration they are great and the people who sing this song somewhat agree
What has that got to do with anything? Punk was one of the most progressive music scenes we've ever seen. Rock against racism. Tom Robinson. Females as influential as males on the scene.
There are bands out there still doing this... Mostly local scene, many very young. Yes, The Clash became important, but if you want better that the Pistols, "The Damned" and "The Buzzcocks" Whats happening on that street, people standing up and trying to stop fascists marching through their neighborhood (again).
Listen to: The Clash, Complete Control, London’s Burning, White Riot. Sham 69, Ripoff. X-ray Specs, Oh Bondage Up Yours. He Ramones, Glad to see you go, Sheena is a Punk Rocker, Judy is a Punk.
We had the Labour party running the country back then so everything had gone to hell in a hand bag, and guess what, we now have another Labour party period and everything is going to hell in a handbag.
Yeah - got f' all to do with fourteen years of the Tories & having to try to turn that sh&t show around - never mind though - Nigel will save us as soon as he gets his head out from between Trump's buttocks.
A cheap holiday in other peoples misery ! I don't wanna holiday in the sun I wanna go to the new belsen I wanna see some history cos now I got a reasonable economy ! Now I got a reason Now I got reason and I'm still waiting Now I got a reason Now I got a reason to be waiting the Berlin wall In sensurround sound in a two inch wall I was waiting for the communist call I didn't ask for sunshine and I got world war three I'm looking over the wall and they're looking at me ! Oh I got a reason now I got a reason and I'm still waiting Now I got a reason Now I got a reason to be waiting The Berlin wall They're staring all night and they're staring all day I had no reason to be here at all but now I got a reason it's no real reason and I'm waiting at Berlin wall I gotta go over the Berlin wall I don't understand this bit at all I don't understand it Claustrophobia there's too much paranoia there's too many closets I went in before and now I got a reason it's no real reason to be waiting ! The Berlin wall I wanna go over the Berlin wall I don't understand this bit at all Cheap dialogue cheap essential scenery I wanna go over the Berlin wall please don't be waiting for me.
Im back to hear this song and your reaction , its been a while since i was last here , prob the Wacken reactions. This band made the common man believe they could make a difference in the music scene , many bands were spawned by this band , The Smiths , The Cure, The Jam , Ten Pole Tudor and many more . Nowadays its pathetic rap and hip hop and thanks daddy for the money bands
The songs meaning doesn't translate well to the modern world because I think it's about people taking cheap vacations in east germany when it was communist
@@srodgers66 nothing wrong with the later clash, but too often reaction channels miss the early stuff. Mostly because N. America was not so exposed to it.
One of the greatest albums of the times!! It WAS a vibe, it was a movement!!! I can’t remember a similar moment in music. The ONLY political music I can listen to!

If ever we needed another revolution like Punk gave us in the late 70s....
Won't happen. This generation is too offended to offend!

Punk’s not a musical movement - it’s a state of mind . Climate change protesters /Greenpeace / anyone that actually turns their concerns into actions are todays punks IMO
I remember being in a pub in Peckham that was playing disco. The DJ suddenly put this on I've never seen so many jaws drop and people stop dancing!
I was 15 from the northeast of England when never mind the bollocks was released, what a time to be 15
I was 13, in East London at the time.. fantastic days to be alive.👍
Punk rock saved my life. Gave me a purpose in the 70s. 80s 90s and today. England forever ❤
It was Iron Maiden for me, I listen to them every day
England Forever? Seems you missed the point. Maybe skinhead music is more your thing.
In 1977 I saw them live and got to go backstage after the gig. Just a few days later was invited to do a live radio interview with them.

Dead Kennedys are the best ever American punk band...after Iggy Pop & The Stooges of course.
Cudos to Cosmic Psychos ! The best Punk Band around ! 🍻from Germany to Australia
I'm 62 soon, the whole punk scene was amazing, the best time of my life! Punk and heavy rock will never be beaten for sure!
Pretty Vacant is a must
X - RAY SPEX were my favourites back then and still are now, Poly the og riot grrrrl.
Brilliant…….
Love the Pistols but even more watching you rock out while your cat loafs behind you. Good post.
I met john In Hollywood, in 1980, we shared a beer. He was a quite intelligent shy, little dude.
Its about their visit to Belsen a concentration camp during the ww2 and the Belin wall which divided east and west Berlin.
No,they only went to the Berlin Wall.
They have been touring just recently. With Frank Carter on vocals.
The Damned "Life Goes On" 🔥❤️🔥 Nuff Said.
??
@vortex63 Give it a listen,, The most stolen/ripped off group/song in music history,, By groups/songs like Killing Joke "Love Like Blood" & Nirvana "Come As You Are" ..Etc..Etc.
Jim Jones Revue (no longer together), and His Lordship (currently active), are two punk 'n' roll bands that you should really check out.
I want to go back to that time.men were men women were women and the music rocked!😊 Try stiff little fingers, my favourite punk band.
This was my era. Lived it, was part of it and yes it was the best time of my life! It would be hard to re create this era it was fantastic! I wish I had a time machine and go back and re live this again there's been nothing like this since!

The USA has backed people like that dozens of times. A democratically elected government is a trivial thing for the CIA.
Sham 69 ⚡️⚡️
We could do with this band now In 2025🏴🇬🇧
There are some Dead Kennedys that would hit hard today: Let's Lynch the Landlord, Kill the Poor, and Chemical Warfare are all good class struggle anthems.
Add 'nazi punks fk off' and 'holiday in Laos ( lol).
That whole album is superb.
Side 1, song 1 of Never Mind The Bollocks. Dead Kennedys were a much more refined socio-political message with talented musicians. I grew up with this music and still love it
I remember buying this single in 1977 and really liking the picture sleeve artwork.
Original Virgin sleeve was worth a bit.
An American GMC bus on mine!
@Nimboid-20 Yes! Two busses with NOWHERE and BOREDOM across the top of their cabs. That's on the flip side of my Pretty Vacant 7"
My friend bought “Pretty vacant “ when he was 14. He played it at home and his dad walked in, lifted it off the turntable and snapped it in half. He threw it in the bin and told my mate “Your not playing that rubbish in this house”. My mate laughs about it now.
@ Probably the least offensive Sex Pistols song!
Listen to Stiff Little Fingers: Alternative Ulster, Suspect Device, Silver Lining, Piccadilly Circus, Hits and Misses (I consider this the first Punk Rock feminist song), At the Edge, Nobody's Hero, Gotta Get Away, and Wasted Life.
Dead Kennedys / Holidays in Cambodia is there most famous song its a banger
Your reaction is exactly what I got in 77. Good days.
Dead Kennedys. The song Riot ..! Great.
One of the greatest albums of the times!! It WAS a vibe, it was a movement!!! I can’t remember a similar moment in music. The ONLY political music I can listen to!
I'm 55, been going to punk shows since 1985
There is a concert by the Pistols early in the 2000s in London , with the original line up Glen Matlock on bass they do all their hits
It's the sound of disobedience.
You need to try Pretty Vacant if you haven't already
The sex pistols dressed by Vivian Westwood. They might of been a manufactured band but they did light the flame
They were not manufactured by anybody,and they already had that different look going before wearing VW and MMs clothes - short hair,straight trousers,etc especially Rotten who had the ripped and torn,safety pin look going all by himself.It was Cok n Jones who started the band and wrote the first song,then they got Glen in and he wrote some more - hardly manufactured.Rotten then wrote the lyrics - again,hardly manufactured.
Steve Jones also used to steal clothes from there before MM even had anything to do with them.
BTW "have" and "Vivienne"
"Cesspools in Eden" - Dead Kennedys ❤
People suggesting “Bodies” because it will test you but also it is a fantastic track - got to have the lyrics with that one
Great job. Tell your cat I said hi.
Its about the Berlin Wall, and the ridiculousness of walls in general some would say.
One of my students asked if we could ever get back to this musical moment (he said I grew up when music mattered)...
As a GenXer, and based on the responses you mentioned about SP, I seriously doubt it.
But I love your reaction! Keep offending the right people!
The Berlin Wall is something you gotta learn about. Goodbye Lenin is a fun movie about when it fell
Sex Pistols, RAMONES, Clash, Dead Kennedys, Gang Of Four, Stiff Little Fingers, The Dead Boys, etc. Aaahh, those were the days
Today’s bands that are similar are Against Me, Rise Against, The Explosion, Anti-Flag, IDLES, Turnstile, etc.
Dead Kennedys biggest songs are California uber alles and holiday is Cambodia. I'd love to hear a reaction to some of their later songs like Stars and Stripes of corruption or MTV get off the air
It was a great time to be young in the UK .. I was a teenager . Anarchy was the order of the day . Altho times were hard , we fought back as much we cld .. i only wish young people now be as questionable abt their leaders and the unfair policies of capitalism .
That’s how the guys dressed on and off stage that was their clothes and not stage clothes…
Hell yeah for the Sex Pistols
vive la musique punk ,pour toujours 🙂👍👍
If you're enjoying discovering punk of the era, can I respectfully suggest you check out seminal Australian punk band, The Saints?

If you haven't already, try Phantom of the Opera by Iron Maiden with Paul DiAnno on vocals. Studio recording is great but the live version is awesome
Back to my teens
"God save the queen" "Anarchy in the U.K."
The song is about the Berlin Wall, a wall built to separate Communist East from Democratic West Berlin. The wall was torn down in 1989. Got that Trump! Walls are not a good thing!
Not for dividing the same country they aren't but for defending your self from another country and illegal immigration they are great and the people who sing this song somewhat agree
Fr the Dead Kennedys yu might want to start with Holiday in Cambodia.
Fabulous, one of The Pistols best songs --- takes me back to a fantastic none woke time in my life
What has that got to do with anything? Punk was one of the most progressive music scenes we've ever seen. Rock against racism. Tom Robinson. Females as influential as males on the scene.
Punk rock still exists!
you could try reacting to'the exploited' another great uk punk band
Huh? Was there a song here? I was busy watching the kitty! XD
If you were alive at the time you knew the things they were singing about. The Cold War loomed large in all our lives.
Why don't you wait until the end instead of cutting in? It just ruins it!!!
Its a reaction video
They usually do in Reaction Videos due to copyright
There are bands out there still doing this... Mostly local scene, many very young.
Yes, The Clash became important, but if you want better that the Pistols, "The Damned" and "The Buzzcocks"
Whats happening on that street, people standing up and trying to stop fascists marching through their neighborhood (again).
He's gonna go under the Berlin Wall apparently.
over actually
@@srodgers66 Just to think he only had to wait 12 years to walk straight on through 😁 security checks pending of course.
It's all a rock and roll swindle.
look up the lyrics, the fighting was anarchy,,
You really need to listen to the greatest punk band thats ever been.
One album is all they made.....and what an album it is too.
XRAY-SPEX
this era punk was all about anti establishment it was a lot of angry kids wanting to be heard i was there and was pretty angry myself
a kitty wow
As far as the Dead Kennedys are concerned you might want to react to Hliday in Cambodia.
Listen to: The Clash, Complete Control, London’s Burning, White Riot. Sham 69, Ripoff. X-ray Specs, Oh Bondage Up Yours. He Ramones, Glad to see you go, Sheena is a Punk Rocker, Judy is a Punk.
Oh, I think She'll love X-ray Spex.
White Riot, we had one of those recently and everybody got arrested for doing it
Try gbh or Anti now here league
😀Check point Charlie
Hope you check iut another great Pistols song, I Wanna be me.
You do realise you have a strong accent.
It's just a London accent :-)
Was in the punk scene starting in the mid 80s. 2 flicks worth checking about the pistols "great rock and roll swindle" and "sid and nancy"
Punk was 70's really, by the 80's it was poser punk I'm afraid
It took awhile to get to the US from its point of origin. Not sure if your mistaken bands like motley Crue for the germs, Darby crash etc
Make Johnny Rotten again! A Sex Pistols fan from way back, who CANNOT STOMACH your support for Trump ...
We had the Labour party running the country back then so everything had gone to hell in a hand bag, and guess what, we now have another Labour party period and everything is going to hell in a handbag.
Yeah - got f' all to do with fourteen years of the Tories & having to try to turn that sh&t show around - never mind though - Nigel will save us as soon as he gets his head out from between Trump's buttocks.
A cheap holiday in other peoples misery !
I don't wanna holiday in the sun

I cant believe you get messages about how they hate the Sex Pistols!!! What losers!
If it's the Clash, then you need to listen to the early Clash, before they lost some energy trying to be too creative.
Disagree. Early and late Clash are both great for different reasons.
@@srodgers66 nothing wrong with the later clash, but too often reaction channels miss the early stuff. Mostly because N. America was not so exposed to it.
@@plawrence8083 That's fair.
You’re inability to understand English is incredible ! 😂
You need to listen to the Ramones too.
