Here's Elton Motello singing a very very risque tune [as in banned from all TV and radio stations on Planet Earth] during a German TV show.

The tee-shirt is just another nice touch!

There is scope for an overlap with the Reggae thread!

This lot is generally classed as a punk band but not long after this gig was recorded in Paris the lead singer died of a heroin overdose and the rest of the band recorded a dub album with Mad Professor as Ruts DC (da capo - back to the beginning) and prior to all that they were employed as the backing band of Ska legend Laurel Aitken.

The Ruts Live at Theatre de l'Empire, Paris, France 1980 - YouTube

And from the states there were the Bad Brains:

I ain't even gonna mention the Clash...

Hi,


Never thought that somebody would ever mention the Bad Brains in this forum... still have the original LP from that time... when I was young and punk.
My favourite from those times are still BEEFEATER - Plays for lovers, of course original vinyl only...


All the best

"No Nina Hagen?" Does Ligeti count then? Hannigan & GSO - LIGETI Mysteries of the Macabre - YouTube

I've heard this song was inspirational to punk Captain Beefheart - Electricity - YouTube

"No Nina Hagen?" Does Ligeti count then? Hannigan & GSO - LIGETI Mysteries of the Macabre - YouTube

I guess these music genres meet somewhere...

Anything goes, I think there is a theatrical element to punk and really not caring much what others think. To me, Kate Bush will always be a punk 😉

Hi,


Never thought that somebody would ever mention the Bad Brains in this forum...

Saw them in Berlin back in the day.

Here's Elton Motello

Ouch! first chord: i know this tune!!!

Plastic Bertrand "Ca plane pour moi" (live officiel) | Archive INA - YouTube

🙄 labels needed to reuse the music.... Plastic Bertrand doesn't deserve the title of punk in any possible way ( Malcolm McLaren syndrom)


Ligeti as a punk. 🙄 Lux Aeterna is difficult music too ...but there was some dedicated 'diva' within the genre ( let aside Nina Hagen), for your own pleasure (or very probably not): Diamanda Galas:

It hurts...

A thread about Punk would not be complete without a mention of The Ramones.

The producers came up with the sound and gave it to Motello who rendered it unsaleable with his lyrics. So they got the drummer (P.Bertrand) to stand in as "singer", hired some other guy to actually sing and wrote alternative lyrics themselves. A pop hit was born.

Cool, they've been listening to MC5

 

[krivium]

Thank you guys for those stories and discovery!

Another amazing band from Detroit. Incredible cultural imprint this town have on music.

SinceSteve mentioned The Ramones one song is clearly not enough so here is a good chunk of a whole gig.

14 songs in under 30 minutes!
Ramones - Live At The Rainbow - December 31, 1977 - YouTube

Thanks to the great John Peel here is another early one:

The Vibrators - Peel Session 1976 - YouTube

John Ellis the guitarist on the right of the picture went on to play with Peter Gabriel and replaced Hugh Cornwell at The Stranglers after that.

 

[myleftear]

Could this be considered as punk (or proto-punk [emoji851]) too?

Link Wray - Rumble - 11/19/1974 - YouTube

 

[Charles Darwin]

Sure.
