Indeed, I too think Punk was largely born out of disgust for ponderous mid-70s bands like Kansas, Styx and Boston. I know that's what me and my pals were thinking in 77 when we started a punk power-trio. The best Punk bands had strong early Rock and Roll influences tempered with an appreciation for the power and cruncha-cruncha of Heavy Metal. I always thought of The Ramones as a Metal band that played fast. The Stooges and MC5 were certainly Heavy Metal. And live, regardless of what the recordings sounded like, The Who were a heavy Metal band, at least by 1969.All the punkers I knew back in the day were Thin Lizzy fans. I think the first Punkers were as much about music as attitude and drew from a wide variety of influences. My band did oldies such as "Just Like Romeo and Juliet" and "Yummy-Yummy-Yummy I got Love in my Tummy", a song which can sound VERY heavy if a strong emphasis is placed on the rythym and the guitar is REAL loud and distorted.
