Talk:Pub rock (United Kingdom)

message: I'm very nervous about changing articles these days, especially one with a source, but it would have been impossible for the Pistols to have supported The Blockheads (in '76 i think is the implication) - the band was not fully formed or named until the Stiff package tour of '77 and didn't release a record under that name until What A Waste in '78 - the Pistols did support an Ian Dury band (Dury confirms this in his TV documentary On My Life, amongst other places) but it's more likely they supported Ian Dury & The Kilburns - an intermediate band between Kilburn & The Highroads and The Blockheads that did contain Blockheads members like Chas Jankel and Davey Payne, which could have lead to the confusion (i see the 'source' is Johnny Rotten's No Blacks, No Irish, No Dogs - not a very reliable book) - though they could have been using the name Kilburn & The Highroads still/again. It's a little thing, but annoying. Can i get a more authoritarian Wikier's go-ahead to change this some time?

replies: text: Sounds like you're on to something. If anyone has a source for the Blockhead formation dates we should refine Rotten's claim to the support gig with an annotation. Silverwood (talk) 19:15, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

message: I've re-written this article using sourced quotes from the original wherever possible. Unfortunately I had to cut the long list of bands considered to be Pub Rock. These sorts of lists are not suitable to Wikipedia. However, I recognise that this means lots of people's favourite Pub Rock bands don't get a mention so I've pased the list below to keep it alive. P.S. I took the liberty of removing Slade, though, they really don't belong here and I couldn't resist.Silverwood (talk) 22:11, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

message: Could this article become a subsection of Punk Rock?
:Strongly disagree punk rock is probably too long already for other sections to be merged with it, if anything it needs to be broken down into seperate articles, not merged, plus pub rock is a completely seperate musical genre, even if pub rock was to some degree an antecedent of much of the early UK punk rock scene quercus robur 22:33, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Seconded - though there are obviously crossovers - clear distinction at the time even when punk came along, because people like Feelgoods and Kursaals were still going in parallel with punk. Although they and punk acts would often appear at the same venues, like the H&A, some people would go to one sort of gig, some to the other or some - like me - to both. But everyone knew which was which. So removing merge notice now, it's absurd... Tarquin Binary 19:17, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Re first paragraph ... "was notable for rejecting huge stadium venues and for returning live rock to the small intimate venues".
Firstly, it's not in the original source. Secondly, who is the author kidding? None of the bands would have been invited to nor been able to fill a "stadium". This would appear to be an Americanism creeping its way in.
Also, I don't think "returned" live rock to small venues, it just where they always played. I mean, where else would they? Does the author think bands just hop from their bedrooms to playing Wembley on a whim?

replies: text: Plus stuff like this is fuggin' embarrassing, "Bands looked menacing and threatening". No they didn't, they just looked like their audience or mates. There wasn't a "look", a dress code or identity, people just came out in wearing whatever they went to work or drink in. --82.132.245.26 (talk) 15:12, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
