Theyre just a rock and roll band. I liked it the first time. But not the 10,000th. I need more than that. Maybe the only band who has any original punk spirit is a band like Marilyn Manson.
Punk is dead.
Here's some quotes. Afterwards a lot of bands came along with a definite image of what punk was about in their minds. Sometimes the orginal bands were dismissed as not being punk, among them the Buzzcocks. But whether the Buzzcocks are or are not punk is irrelevant. In '76 the idea of making money by doing what we were doing was preposterous.
