Free Music Review: The title says it all
Hit: 4 Stars
Back in 1977, punk rock actually scared people. The Ramones were the first band out of the CBGB's scene to really get noticed, and as soon as that happened, the floodgates opened wide. Suddenly every angry displaced kid in America had a Sex Pistols album and a guitar. As soon as these bands got a hold of some Iggy or Dolls CD's, they had a roadmap.
The Dead Boys jumped on the highway to NYC from Cleveland, where they took punk's nihilism and magnified it tenfold. Notorious for their stage fights and violent behaviour (drummer Johnny Blitz almost died after being stabbed at a gig), they also became one of the first American punk bands to get a record deal. Inspired by The Ramones (it was meeting Joey in Ohio that lured Stiv and company to New York) and coming on like an even more manic Raw Power Stooges, the menace was no joke. Proto Punk Genya Raven took them into the studios, kept the tapes running and left them to make an album. Four days later, they emerged with "Young Loud and Snotty."
This was an album so brazenly raw that, to this day, there are few others like it. It was loaded with Punk Anthems ("Sonic Reducer"), juvenile sex ("Caught With The Meat in Your Mouth" and "I Need Lunch") and gothic rock that masked an Alice Cooper fascination ("Not Anymore"). They chucked the artier bands of the CBGB universe and went for the most abrasive, unpolished format they could find; there are those who claim American Hardcore started here. Guitarist Cheetah Chrome is sorely underrated, his snarling leads are razorsharp when listened to in context. Frankly, it took another few years before any other New York band came close to this kind of ferocity, and that would have been The Plasmatics' New Hope for the Wretched.
It's interesting to listen to "Young Loud and Snotty" over 30 (holy crap!!!) years later. While the impact of punk in the 70's and early 80's has been diluted by the warm fuzziness of nostalgia and sheer overload of influenced followers (Guns and Roses and Pearl Jam have covered DB songs), it is The Dead Boys that have yet to become commercials for cell phones (The Ramones), cars (The Jam, The Clash), cleaning products (Devo, Blondie), video games (Sex Pistols) or even become a Tv show theme (Elvis Costello's "Watching The Detectives"). When the late Felix Pappalardi tried to finesse them for the still ferocious and fiery followup, We Have Come for Your Children, the core DB fans cried it was too weak! That's because the uncompromising roar of "Young Loud and Snotty" still sounds like a snarled thuggish threat. Perhaps the only other band to maintain their menace of legend would be The Dead Kennedys, and that is saying something.
