CBGB’s, birthplace for the likes of The Ramones, Blondie and The Talking Heads has announced that it will close. As a kid I viewed the musicianship in punk bands as horrible, and quite frankly it was marginal. I played drums as well as most of those guys within my first few weeks of ever having held a pair of sticks. I didn’t think much of the guitar work either. Years after the original punk movement, I can see past all of that marginal musicianship and hear greatness. Bands like The Ramones and The Sex Pistols brought about true change in Rock, ushering in the new wave movement of the 80′s…marginal drumming and all.
