Other punk PJ fans?

I've been a Pearl Jam fan since I was 13 years old (roughly the span of their career). However, Pearl Jam is pretty much the only "mainstream" band I listen to. Most of my friends are appalled that I am so in love with them. I've always been a punk fan, my second show ever was a hardcore show at the Metro in Chicago. I've been into indie garage-y punk forever...and a lot of the bands that have toured with Pearl Jam in the past (Murder City Devils, Sleater-Kinney) were favorites of mine long before they went on the road with them. That is sometimes my defense to friends, "but look at all the bands they tour with? they're awesome! they toured with the Buzzcocks for crying out loud!!" My friends (and especially my husband) are so confused by my taste.

I have searched high and low for other Pearl Jam fans who suffer my same dilemma. Most of the fans I've met are wonderful but...they also like DMB and other commercial bands. I can't relate to them on any music level other than Pearl Jam (which is fine but...). Most of them have never heard of the Subhumans or The Coachwhips. Most of them didn't spend their teens going to insane all-ages shows like Fugazi and Bratmobile.

I'd love to find another PJ friend who has similar taste in other music besides our favorite band. I'd love to find a fellow PJ fan who wants to go see Ty Segall with me and reminisce about the days when you saw 10 different lives bands in one week.

Anyone? :(

    OMG///

    6 pages to find this. I completely LOVE PUNK rock.

    I heard through the news... Lightning Bolt is Pearl Jam meets Punk Rock.

    I knew this already with Backspacer. It is a flip of sound images only a few bands can do. Backspacer was half and half.

    The bolt is Pearl Jam's Punk album, or so the media or band member's say. I am so excited.

    Any person can argue all day ... What is Punk?//

    To me, it means not doing what is expected of you, and actually exceeding the mandatory expectations.

    (Ask yourself why the YEAH YEAH YEAH's are still non-mainstream. They are about to announce a new album and tour. )

    I'm so happy PJ is doing what they want. True Punk Rock! They own their own label. It's silly not to do what you want to do.


    MIND YOUR MANNERS. ;)


    It scares me that most of the "true fans" will loath it. Maybe it will be the lack of emotional ballads? (Bon Jovi is still putting out music :o ) I've had my personal amount. Give it a go before you hate.

    PUNK ROCK!

    I wouldn't try to explain to them. Find a people group that likes it all. Go from there.. Sleater Kinney is okay for a chick band. See, some of us have opinions. Fugazi is one of Eddie Vedder's supposed favorite bands. IDC. I'm not into them. Music love is fickle. I know Fugazi is amazing, I just never bothered to go. :D

    I get what your saying DarbyCrash only not only do some of my friends wonder about my infatuation with PJ music but they feel the same about my interests in punk and pre-punk bands like New York Dolls and Ramones and bands like Mission of Burma and Minutemen. Most of my friends my age are still into the stuff we grew up on in the sixties- a lot of which is great of course-- I still love the Doors, Jimi Hendrix, Cream, The Who, etc.-- but I didn't get solely stuck in that era like a lot of other boomers my age.

    So my advice is not to worry about what your friends think about what it is that rolls your socks. Like the Henry Rollins quote in my current signature basically says, be yourself.

    I'm got into Punk Rock because of the alienation of Arena/Staduim Rock and the audio lobotomy of disco in the 70s. I suppose the first time I heard Punk Rock was on Rodney Binginheimer's show on old KROQ. The first punk rock show i went to was at the Whiskey-A-Go-Go in 1977 when we went to see our favorite Pasadena local cover band, Van Halen, open for Blondie and The Ramones. At first, I thought the Ramones were a bit redundant... but, I fell in love with them when I really started listening to their records. I immediately fell in love with Blondie.
    Anyway, we used to spend a lot of time up on Sunset in those days... The Whiskey, The Starwood, Gazzaris, The Masque, Filthy McNasty's and the Roxy hosted a lot of punk bands like X, The Gears, Fear, The Germs, Black Flag, Geza X, The Go-Gos, Dead Kennedys, Circle Jerks, The B-52s, Vandals, Social Distortion and DEVO. It was a bit later that we'd see the 'big' acts at places like the Palladium... The Clash (opening band was newcomer, The Police), Ramones, Blondie, etc...
    It was fun. We'd sneek into the places by copying the hand stamps and drawing them with felt tip pens and smearing them with spit. And spitting was the best. you could spit on dudes and they didn't give a shit... but, you also got spit on. It was okay, since you were spitting on them, too. We'd 'shower' off after the shows at the 76 station, using the water hose for the radiators. The only downside... all dudes. No girls ever showed up and the ones that did were uglier than the dudes. We'd cut our own hair and make our own t-shirts with spray paint and markers... we didn't give a shit what we looked like... it was fun.
    I guess those were 1977 through 1981 or so. I got tired of being poor and living at Mom's and got a job and moved out. That pretty much killed my weekends at the Strip. I still love the punk rock... I suppose, because it was part of some of the best times of my life.

    The hand stamps were so easy to copy! We did that at the Fireside all the time. Miss those days.

    I have to disagree about the female presence at punk shows in the late 70's. While I was not there (born in '78), my husband was and he has some pretty great pictures of the girls rocking out. And I think any female that calls herself punk is beautiful no matter what. A mohawk on a girl is rad.

    I would have given anything to see the Circle Jerks or Germs. Darby Crash was such an interesting person. Have you read Lexicon Devil (the book not the song)? I also named my cat Darby Crash. :D

    While Keith Morris' new band OFF! is fantastic, hearing stories of CJ ripping through Beverly Hills live makes me so jealous of anyone that got to be in the room.

    ...
    Not on Sunset or places like Florentine Gardens or Madame Wong's. The ratio was probably 19 to 1 (dudes to gals) at those gigs. The difference being at shows like the Go-Gos and The Modettes. X and Romeo Void drew some girls because of the band being fronted by girls, but for the most part, the punk rock scene was mostly nasty dudes out here.
    The 'New Wave' gigs were totally different. Elvis Costello and The Attractions played at places like The Palamino and drew tons of girls. So did The Motels, Joe Jackson, The Pretenders, The Cars, Van Halen, The Mystic Knights of The Oingo Boingo, Suburban Lawns and the like. The Go-Gos used to be pretty punk in the beginning... they didn't play that well and there was more screaming than singing, but... they were girls. Cute girls that had cute girls in their audiences. That was a big draw for us gnarly dudes.

    Love the Dead Kennedys and the Sex Pistols, of course.
    I'd also like to give a shout out to the Dead Milkmen. They're punk...only funner.

    I can't live on one genre of music; my tastes are all over the rainbow.

    Love punk, since I was a kid...
    My favorite punk band today, by far, is Strung Out. Shocked nobody has mentioned them yet, one of the best live shows ever!!!! Been around longer then PJ and sound better then ever!
    Would love to see Pearl Jam cover 'Velvet Alley'...went to a show in PHX @ the Marquee a few years back wearing one of my old stickman shirts - Jason caught a glimpse and motioned to Rob who played about 15 seconds of 'Go' leading into 'Bring Out Your Dead'...so cool...

    Although I have a wide array in musical tastes, punk is still one of my faves. Not a big fan of punk bands of this era, I'm more of an old school fan. It started with the Pistols and The Clash, followed by the second wave bands such as The Exploited, Chaos UK, GBH, The Varukers, Crass, Discharge, etc. I was more of a fan of the British punk bands, the American scene didn't really appeal to me, but I'm also a huge Dead Kennedys fan. Can't forget to mention two of the greatest Canadian punk bands, The Forgotten Rebels and The Dayglo Abortions.

    This brings back a shitload of fond memories from my teen years, thanks for starting this thread!!

    HA! The Dayglo Abortions are the best! Out of the Womb is one of my favorite albums (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orPb4m3DGBA)

    GBH and The Exploited are/were amazing as well. Wattie is one of the craziest punks out there. I saw a documentary recently and he was off his rocker. It's great.

    Some of my newer favorites include (and some of this isn't "punk" exactly)

    Thee Oh Sees (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFMdCp6iXow). John Dwyer was also in a band called the Coachwhips which was killer live (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbTWFj2SMX8). I saw them during my first trip to Seattle in 2003 and was blown away.

    Totally love old uk punk. Rudimentary Peni, Crass, GBH, Discharge, etc. Probably my fav from that era has got to be the Subhumans though and actually anything that Dick Lucas has done. Citizen Fish and Culture Shock both rule too. Just seen Subhumans and The Adolescents here in Brooklyn a few weeks ago and they still kick so much ass live. I have nothing but love for american punk and hardcore too. Been really into The Dicks and Big Boys lately. Had to pass on seeing Black Flag when they came threw town. Fuck Greg Ginn. I would be tempted to see FLAG tho.,,

    Totally love old uk punk. Rudimentary Peni, Crass, GBH, Discharge, etc. Probably my fav from that era has got to be the Subhumans though and actually anything that Dick Lucas has done. Citizen Fish and Culture Shock both rule too. Just seen Subhumans and The Adolescents here in Brooklyn a few weeks ago and they still kick so much ass live.

    Dick Lucas is one of the greatest human beings to walk the planet. That man has produced some of the most brilliant music of my lifetime. I met him a few times (mainly at Citizen Fish shows, because he is impossible to talk to at Subhumans shows, at least as far as I could see). We had good conversations about everything from politics (of course) to food. He is so fuckin sweet and cool. Gave me a big kiss on the cheek last time and said "love ya darlin." Never thought I'd get a kiss from Dick Lucas. ;)

    My fave CF record is probably Millennia Madness, with Can't Complain being my favorite song. As far as the Subhumans, pretty much anything they've spit out is pure gold.

    I'm interested in seeing FLAG too. Have you checked out Keith Morris' band OFF!?
    I'm not lost, but I don't know where I am...David Byrne, Talking Heads

    Regal Theater, 1994--most amazing night ever.

    First saw Talking Heads at CBGB on a fake ID . Been attending punk shows ever since . The Ramones , The Clash , The Descendents , and Pere Ubu are my favorite punk bands .

    Wow, you saw Talking Heads at CBGB?? Holy shit. LUCKY.

    Speaking of CBGB's, there is a new movie coming out about it. I can't decide if it's really stupid, or funny stupid. We shall see I guess.

    I was a bit disappointed with the Germs movie, What We Do Is Secret. A little polished for a movie about Darby Crash, eh?

    Saw FLAG a couple months ago....so damn good!

    Descendents, Bad Religion, and a lot of those early SST and Epitaph bands had a huge impact on me. Still my favorites.

    Lately, I've really been into Minutemen/Mike Watt, Rancid, and Lagwagon.
