So what if U2 were manufactured they neverrated in my books anyway. And if it wasn't for the Northern gigs The Sex Pistols would have gone off like a damp squib - but that doesn't mean punk would not have taken off anyway.
I suppose you're one of those who claim to have been at the very first Pistol gig too - every punk of a certain age claims to have been there.

Damp Squib?No, of course I wasn't at The Lesser Free Trade Hall; hardly anyone was, but you've obviously seen the start of 24 Hour Party People or read Tony Wilson going on about that particular evening.
As for the idea that punk was a regional thing, you're being ridiculous. Oh, and you've forgotten The Bromley Contingent anyway (Banshees, Penetration, etc.)
And U2 were 4 schoolfriends from Dublin. Exactly how does that make them manufactured? Becasue they had a manager booking their gigs? Shit, everyone's manufactured in that case!
Please stop trying to have a pissing competition with me. I'll always win.

It wasn't me who started the regionalist shityou started by having a go at northern punks - the one thing I cannot stand is when the '76 crowd pull down everybody North of the Watford gap and claim to be the 'real' punks. I didn't fully get into punk unmtil I left school in 82 but does that mean I'm any less of a punk than you because you were in London in '76 - no fucking way

Er...Why do you just keep coming back to this sub-thread without reading the rest of it?
I suppose having nearly 700 pieces of regularly played punk vinyl is no degree of 'punkness' to you, is it?

I never once questioned your level of 'punkness'and instead of telling me off for not reading your edits trying reading what I wrote for once. The question here is that you are rating my level of punkness and the level of northern punks by some '76 club' standard and that is bullshit of the highest order
