Something sounds a bit fucked to me about watching some 50 year old fucker struggle through his old hits from a lifetime ago. Like when the Sex Pistols reformed a few years ago. They sounded like shit, were all 60+, and it was clear they were only in it for the money. Paying $200 for a ticket to that shit? Fuck that. Though I'll admit, went to see the Offspring a few years back, many years out of their prime they were starting to look pretty old. Sounded great however, and it was a mindblowing show. Might've been all the drugs I took though, or how I grew up listening to everything that band put out religiously.

I think most bands have a prime, a window of years in which they are still good. There are exceptions though. The Stones and the Who were rare in that they remained good for many years, but they have both been going for 40+ years by now. The voices have changed, and the guitar playing chops have faded. The songwriting has gone to shit in the bands that still play new songs. Most of them however just play the oldies, which I would much rather listen to on a cd than pay exorbitant ticket prices to see butchered live. It is clear they are in it for nothing but money or maybe keeping the dream alive, and it shows in how they play. Most of the people going to these shows are old themselves, wear suits, and are only there to say they saw x band rather than enjoy themselves. Though I would still go see the Who, if the tickets were cheap, because they are a band that I've spent countless hours listening to and I have something invested in their songs. They meant something to me.

Moral of the story: Bands get old, get shitty, there are exceptions, history weighs in.

i tend to agree with what you're saying french, but i was a lil young when the misfits were in their prime, so i never got a chance to see them live..
i'm sure they would have been much better in the early 80's no doubt, it still doesn't mean i'm not excited to get a chance to see them now 30 years on...
i'm sure i will probably be disappointed, but unless i give them a fair chance, who knows, it could be the show of a lifetime, again, i doubt it, but i i'm no less excited to see them though..

A best friend of mine that kicks with me every single day for mega years
and here now at my house was a original guitar player for The Dickies. The Dickies were the 1st punk band to be signed by a major record label. A&M Records. Scott Sindon says
what's up and happy smokin to all you punks at RLOL. Scott is a madman pot head and I will
dish out a 1/8 or 1/4 oz to him and he puffs and puffs non stop till it is all gone and wants more.
This is pretty much a daily routine. He smokes himself daily into constant total oblivion.
I call him Scott Rott, Scottage Cheese and Scottamire. A total trip, he is only coherent when playin
guitar and no matter what kind of music is playin whether on the radio, cd's, movies or a television commercial
etc...he goes into a total trance and sees and hears nothing around him at all. You could be sitting
right next to him and yell out his name loudy at him several times and he will not hear you and you will get no
response. The house could be on fire all around him and he will have no idea. He will just sit there and
jerk his head back and forth to any music that is on. Everything around him is always a total whiteout when any
type of music is playin. It could be a kiddy song from a Bambie movie or total thrash metal tune, car commercial,
cereal, jello, tampons, dog food etc....it don't matter to him and instantly he will rock with his head jerking and he
will make noises such as grunts and such and will not see or hear anything else around him no matter who is
there or what is happening. A jet could crash into my house and he will not even know it and will just keep on rockin
and jerking his head to the music making all kinds of strange sounds. My friends trip on him big time all the time especially new
friends. They just stare at him totally bewildered that he is totally rockin out to a song in waffle commercial etc...
and he will not know you are there in the same room as him. Every single thing and person around him is completely non exsistant
and if you play any music to him from any era, genre, person, kid, band, movie, commercial or if you sing out whatever, it
does not matter he will rock out big time in his seat. It could be the worst or best and everything in between and he will
rock and the world around him is not there in any way not even for a second. A total trip like
you've never seen when any music is on and I mean ANY. Sorry for the long read but this is what my girl, friends and I go thru daily which is ok cause he is a fucking true hardcore punk.

Pretty fucking interesting story. But I have to clarify. First California punk band to sign to a major label. The Clash and the Sex Pistols in the UK were signed to CBS and EMI respectively, and the Ramones to Sire in New York before then.
