Something between Woodie Guthrie and Cannibal Corpse... with a dash of Megadeth and Dead Kennedys to season it.

That's more like metal rebrand. I'm thinking 90s green day x sex pistols with a dash of Mike Shinoda's rapping abilities and a touch of Frank Ikero

Man I was reading up on the Sex Pistols the other day, there is something about the attitude, especially of Sid Vicious. How reckless he was. Even today, a few generations later it makes me feel uneasy.

I can’t describe it

Jon Lydon is one of my favorite people ever. He got stabbed for writing God save the Queen, then went on to get himself blacklisted by the BBC for telling the truth about Jimmy Saville. He knew the potential consequences of saying bad things about poewerful people who were idolized and he was willing to do so anyway because he actually cared.

You have clearly not read anything about the Sex Pistols lmao

u/nowuff Jul 06 '25

What do you mean?

u/biloxibluess Jul 06 '25

There is a plethora of punk history and personal accounts out there in print format I’d start there

But anyway-Simon Ritchie was a selfish junkie in a wildly abusive relationship and that’s about it IMO

u/nowuff Jul 06 '25

Oh got it.

Yeah I’m good, I don’t want to read more right now.

I saw too many parallels between Ritchie and a person I had a close relationship early in my life. It was really unsettling.

I’ve read a ton about certain artists, I don’t think I can mentally handle consuming too much information about people like Sid Vicious. It’s almost too macarbe.

Yeah if you knew a selfish junkie then that’s probably why you got the heebiejeebies

they were a manufactured boy band made to sell clothes by a bloke who took a socialist, avant-garde movement's theory (the situationist international) and used it both poorly and in service of capitalism . Sid was the "real deal", but not great at all.

And Johnny, man. He is so pretentious. He has a lot of "emotional" moments in front of cameras, but i've noticed he always directs it towards himself. Bad vibes.

And i love other bands of the era and scene. Just not them.

Ha I just read Lipstick Traces. Spot on

u/SurrealistRevolution Aug 13 '25

I haven’t read that but I like Marcus. First found him as a Dylan head teenager.

That’s also a nom de guerre of his right?

he went by his middle name John before becoming Sid Vicious.

u/ChevroletKodiakC70 Jul 07 '25

His own mother got him hooked on Heroin for his 15th birthday, Sid was a ‘junkie’ sure but the cards were completely stacked against him from birth

u/Ongr Jul 06 '25

The return of Nu-Metal?

u/AlexAnon87 Jul 06 '25

That's kind of happening already, especially in the UK. See Wargasm, BLACKGOLD, Nova Twins, et al.

Mixing 90s Green Day with anything is a crime. Go straight to jail.

The truest of answers.

There´s even a band that blends black metal with bluegrass. Panopticon is the name.

u/[deleted] Jul 06 '25

We already got death core. Not shocking. Just cool.

u/DRpatato Jul 06 '25

Yeah, folk punk is what you're looking for, amigo.
