what do you think the direction of punk is going in.. I still love it and all but for some reason it seems to be going down hill.

Money, money, money!
I'm not claiming that Blink182 are punk, but I saw the video for "Stay together for the kids" today and I thought that title summed the general punk-pop scene up so well that I had to mention it. Since Mark left, their sound has improved slightly...

to tell you the truth to me a punk band is a band with a fast paced beat and a hard drive to it. It must let out a word and speak someones mind through agression and music.

It's a song from Slipknot - Slipknot...
You can't see California through Marlon Brando's eyes or something like that... it has been a LONG time since I heard that song.

I know, the song is called eyeless. I'm asking what his post meant. Taken from : www.slipknotnews.com/Pages/meanings.htmlEyeless You can't see California without Marlon Brando's eyes.....When the band visited New York for the first time to sign the record deal with Roadrunner, Mick says "That all came from a schizophrenic street person in New York. He was running around, screaming it at everyone. Though I think his choice of actor was pretty cool. He was off his shit (the schizo that is)." Joey says "It's not necessary about Marlon Brando's eyes, it's a pivotal figure of Marlon Brando being the untouched guy that he is and eye's being such a strong word, because that song is about Corey's dad and how he doesn't know him. So we're using a figure that everyone knows to amplify the song and with California being such a big fucking state. Like we just use them as articles or examples of a picture. Like the whole motto is unless you're going to be strong enough or realize what the outcome has been in life, don't try to see something that you're not going to fucking see."
