Aging punk rocker still swears - but not near the kids

Okay, before I cede to that comment, I’m going to need a list of bands that qualify as headbangin’ music. For instance: Kiss, Metallica, JP, Maiden and Danzig — acceptable. Poison, Winger, Cinderella...not. :-D

Might I interject something here?

How about Slayer, Anthrax, Megadeth, Judas Priest, et al?

My older boy down in Ft Hood, TX, recently told me that Iron Maiden's "Powerslave" is one of the best albums ever made.

I didn't raise my boys on poseur music. Warms my metal heart, it does.

Not all of us- By the Grace of God, I am 38 and have been married for 19 years and at the same job for 15 years.

Sounds like my buddy, Rick. Married 20 years, just retired from the National Guard.

Sigh. Beacuse of this article, I’m going to have “Punk Rock Girl” stuck in my head for the rest of the day.

Consider yourself lucky. The Dead Milkmen song that's been playing in my head for tha last few weeks is "Tacoland". LOL

[FierceDraka]

Okay, I can’t carry on. Nuclear Assault, Fear Factory, Suicidal Tendancies; you know, the greats!

All I wanted was a Pepsi! Just one Pepsi! And she wouldn't give to me!

My MOM knows that song. She also knows "Necrophobic" by Slayer.

(I put my parents through so much hell...)

One I never managed to see live was Angry Samoans.

Whoa. Angry Samoans. I don't think you can even find their stuff anymore.

[FierceDraka]

I beleive you are the only other person I ever heard mention Kix. I had my their cassette stolen out of my car a few years back. I miss them... Rock On!!

I remember Kix!

Come on start a fire
In my electric chair
Baby cross my wires
Light up my hair
Overload my circuits
Let me feel the juice
Make me an offer
That I can't refuse

BLOW MY FUSE!
(Hey hey)
You got nothing to lose
BLOW MY FUSE!
I need a good shot
I can't give it to you
On electric bluuuuuues!
BLOW MY FUSE!

Can’t control the paranoia! Scared to die!

[FierceDraka]

Can’t control the paranoia! Scared to die!

And of course, in my mind that line is followed by,

"Awaiting the hour, destined to die! Here on the table of Hell! A figure in white unknown by man! Approaching the altar of death!"

I'm a Social Distortion guy myself.

"A broken nose and a broken heart,
An empty bottle of gin..."

An image for the ages.

All I wanted was a Pepsi! Just one Pepsi! And she wouldn't give to me! My MOM knows that song.

LOL, mine too! Oh how we enrich their lives.... :-P

Actually, yesterday she told me how hilarious she thought "Moving to Florida" by the Butthole Surfers was (she's 62 and lives in Florida). I snuck it onto a cd I made for her last time she visited. There always has to be one funny song I put on there..."Bumblebee" by Ween is another one...heeeeee! Well she's always been pretty hip 'n happenin'.

[LibertyGrrrl]

WOW, crazy! My very Korean mom would sing the same “pepsi” line when I was in high school... I died the first time I heard her humming it... My sister was like, “tell me she’s not humming the Surfers”.....
PS... METAL MOMS RULE!!!!!!

[LibertyGrrrl]

LOL! Oops, Correction... I meant to type SUICIDAL not SURFERS.... I’m listening to Sirius Channel 29 as I was typing and the butthole surfers were on.... the irony is that she would also hum the surfers, too...

You can’t bring me down....

Ahh yes, former Detroit Tigers great Jim Walewander's favorite band.

Social D. bump...

My favorite Mike Ness line: “13 is my lucky number!”

Anyone else remember the punk episode of "Quincy?"

"I wanna see ya CHOOOOOKKKKKKEEEE!"
