some of those real hardcore shows still go on. Merauder, Agnostic Front, Madball, they all still play up here frequently, along with a few others. The new “hardcore” scene isn’t nearly as good as that shit though. Emmure, The Devil Wears Prada, they all fuckin suck!
Anyway, it was good to see john, and the others at Edgefest. Black Label Society was awesome, and that is all i gave a shit about. However they (BLS) were a bunch of whiney douchebags!!
and as far as hang your cross is concerned. Punk is pretty much dead! The Kennedys are gone, The Ramones, Sex Pistols, Velvet Underground, The Adolescents, Generation X, they don’t play anymore. I mean sure you got some originals like Bad Religion, and Social Distortion still out there, but true gritty kick ass punk rock is dead! So go listen to your green day & sum 41 albums and call yourself “punk rock”.
