This thread has lasted 4 years. Longer than Punk and New Wave ever did :,-)

Someone told me that Punk is dead
Who was it? A Mod or Ted?
Don't like the music, don't like the words
You can all piss off, you're a bunch of turds.

Well said Wattie.

Have also never watched Derek Jarman's Jubilee. Is that any good?

Not seen it for years, but I thought it was bobbins.
A lot of punk music was great, some of the fashion was too. IMO most all of the other ‘art’ around it is rubbish.

Remember it being on Channel 4 late one Friday evening....it was hard work watching it

Has anyone watched the Netflix documentary about Johnny Moped?

Always liked his monologue on the Live at the Roxy album.

Now finished Pistol (it's just about worth seeing) and am looking for something else to see.

No better punk film than this

Nostalgia: The Stranglers, Sex Pistols and The Clash - brilliant photos show punk bands on fire in Manchester

This month marks the 45th anniversary of the Stranglers playing Manchester in 1977 – at the same time as the Queen’s Silver Jubilee

Watched the first three episodes of Pistol today.

Awful so far.

Firstly, it’s overly didactic, in the sense that cast members insist on telling you about the situationist/anarchist philosophy and motivations behind the band at every possible juncture. The effect of this is rather like a bad PowerPoint presentation where someone just reads out what’s on the slides they have made.

Secondly, the characterisations are cartoonish and superficial in pretty much every case, and the banter that goes on between those characters is neither memorable or funny.

The acting isn’t too bad, and the strikingly beautiful Sydney Chandler is particularly good as Chrissie Hynde. But that’s about it.

My recommendation would be to give this series a miss. It’s nowhere near as good as, say, the movies 24 Hour Party People or Control. Sid and Nancy is also a lot better.

I’m 3 episodes in and thoroughly enjoying it
