Best punk band that you have actually seen.
No answer from me yet I need to think about it.
shareBad Religion while on the "No Control" tour.
Close second to The Adolescents (I'm from Fullerton so I'm biased) and Fugazi's "Repeater" tour.
Best band I ever saw play was Drive Like Jehu, more energy could not be produced by any other since IMO.
Top Five
No Order
Devo
TSOl
Dead Kennedys
The Smashing Pumpkins
Mudhoney
Dropkick Murphys, incredible gig
but then again i wasn't around in the early 80's to see all the punk legends...
THEY WILL KILL US ALL WITHOUT MERCY!!!!
Dead Kennedys
The Germs
Suicidal Tendencies
Fear
Social D
Agent Orange
Minor Threat
The Vandals
DI
Misfits
Circle Jerks
TSOL
Agent Orange
As you can tell, I was around in the early 80's
I never saw the Germs because my first gig was about 6 months after Darby died.
I never saw the Dead Kennedys because I hated Jello.
I saw all the others that you mentioned several times except for Misfits,Minor threat only saw them once.
I still can't decide, I went to so many gigs in O.C. and L.A. back then, most of the great bands where all on the same bill.
The Suicidal Tendencies crowd allways anoyed me so I only saw them twice.
out of interest, why did you hate Jello?
THEY WILL KILL US ALL WITHOUT MERCY!!!!
His voice just really got on my nerves, but I do like Chris Desjardins (Flesheaters)Voice. Some people used to think I was nuts but you know what they say to each his own.
I also didn't really like Henry Rollins or Lee Ving.
My Chemical Romance, Blink-182 or The Used.
As you can tell, i am from the 21st century and i am VERY punk/emo. Get used to it...
I live in Perth, Western Australia and nobody ever visits :(
However, earlier this year Alkaline Trio and The Misfits came out, so I went along (I had to... it's rare for any good bands to come out here!) and had a *beep* blast.
I remember going to see The Offspring a few years ago as well, that was good.

I could go on and on. If you weren't there, you missed it. There was a time you could see 5 shows a week. At all-age shows, the tix were only 5 dollars!
