It's amazing how fast the music changed from 1970 to 1980..

[@grantjoy]

Looking at the last 10 years in music as comparison, it's like complete stagnation.

[@daygloman]

LOL! No different from how vastly different music changed from 1980 to 1990. 1990 to 20K to 2010 to 2020 etc.....

[@reiserkeiser]

I say 1960-1970 was the biggest change. Went from Doo Wop and rockabilly to early heavy metal, funk, and all kinds of psychedelic stuff. Radical shift.

[@caseysniper308]

emory is an underrated guitarist.

[@davidanchovies3340]

Totally. I just discovered the 2001 "comeback" lp and its killer, mostly because of the guitar

[@marcoantoniobenavidezjr.6866]

Ron Emory may be a little underrated like Randy Rhodes, but that doesn't deter them from being damn good 👍 guitar players. In fact, this is one of my all time favorite Punk EP's. I now declare this album #25 on the Silver Star Winners List. I love 💕 the Hits " You Don't Have to Die" and "80 Times". Most definitely a Crown Jewel 💎 of Classic Punk. Fucking Amazing. Get drunk and fucked up to this!

@@marcoantoniobenavidezjr.6866 I prefer the 12" ep only because of the better sound quality. However this is my first listen to this demo and it's impressive as fuck

Jack putting on a British accent ... lol showing his Damned and London Punk 77 influences here.

[@leecarterreppinjesuschrist7686]

Agreed..T.S.O.L are prob my fave band. But Jack didn’t invent the goth look and T.S.O.L didn’t invent the goth scene as I’ve heard before.. Dave Vanian and thedamned were doing it first

[@coldkissofsteel]

@@leecarterreppinjesuschrist7686 Except the Damned didn't play goth music and only Dave Vanian had the goth look. Bauhaus was arguably the first in both look and music.

[@johndoeiii6103]

Yeah Bauhaus wasn't a thing till bela Lugosis dead. I'll admit they codified things a bit but goth came from alot of things, bands like coven, siouxsie and the banshees, 45 grave, vox pop, originally goth wasn't really a distinct sound but more of a look and attitude where you had bands of different styles often punk bands with goth members like the bags with Pat bag also alot of it came from screaming lord sutch, Alice Cooper...."goth" got more codified the more the 80s progressed and when sisters of mercy became popular that had a huge effect where it seemed like everyone started to sound like them

[@jimbothompson6540]

I can't deny that I liked his fake accent better

[@anrque]

Just saw a screening of the TSOL movie with Jack in attendance. Either the documentary or the Q&A afterwards he talked about how "Somewhere between the car and studio, I picked up an English accent." He's a funny guy and tells great stories.

[@DubIsTheFoundation]

Too add to that, in my opinion, was the influence of "Machine Gun Ettiqutte" by The Damned a year before. Every hardcore scene from D.C to L.A to NYC states that album as a BIG factor. 🤟🏾🤟🏾

Ya know it would Honor for me and a Thousands of True Diehard T.SO.L. Heads Like me that would treasure a Legit Copy Release from the band Themselves I'm a an Old School Punker I've never Found a Copy of this anywhere it mandatory for all True Punks the Love T. S. O. L. We are all getting Very Old it's a shame not to have a copy of this on Vinyl and Pass it on to my Son he"s 13 and LOVES Punk when I Put on a T. S. O L. Record for him to Listen to I saw the Same Look on his Face and the way he reacted he went Fuck Crazy Demanding Where are the Punk Record Stores at where he wanted to go I saw a Reflection of Me in the 80's the First time I Heard T. S. O. L. ,I hope the Band reads all these comments because theirs a Lots of Sad Depressed Young Kids out there that are bored and hate their Life because their not place for then to go or no Place for them to Unite stuffing up to See Punk bands to get their anger depression out the Youth of Today needs Punk Bands and Clubs to hang out with their friends like we did and need Vinyl Copies of the Punk Bands music like we had to Collect. And be Proud one day all the Punk bands will be all gone but the Records can still be around to give the Young Punk Generation the idea and energy to do something With Punk make it happen for them with that said I've said enough Punk OFF Monsters ☠️🎒👹👺🤬😵🤮🤑👿😝😬😠🧟😝🤩👽🎃🧞🐔🤮👹🎒👺👹👺☠️

[@415riderss]

Always weird to me how NYHC has all this lore about their shows in tiny backroom stages to 20 people like it was legendary shit, meanwhile TSOL was headlining to thousands off a demo. Who was really the bigger influence? CA bands always had the bigger shows, but east coast hc shows were made up of like 75% of people with a zine, the press amount decided who was "bigger" in this case but TSOL might have always lowkey been the biggest band of the early 80s along with Black Flag. CBGBs maxed out at like 100 people. Like what are we doing here??

[@85dirtyd]
