Can't believe an entire punk band are all dead. Makes me feel old and sad

If it's any consolation, they were actually a bit crap live.

And Marky's still alive, although not an original.

I beg to differ - I saw them at the Glasgow Apollo on the 1977 Rocket to Russia tour, the Rezillos supported and despite having seen many hundreds of gigs since, this one us up there on the most memorable list ..., their raw energy really came across during live performances.

I saw them on that tour too. Newcastle City Hall. The Rezillos were great but after about 20 minutes of the Ramones (very samey) set, people began drifting off to the bar. No raw energy in evidence that night

When I went to see Little Green Cars on Saturday they dedicated a song to Tommy.

I saw them at Monty Burns' birthday. They rocked.

True and you know like the Rolling Stones the kids who wear them have probably never even listened to one track. If you played one without telling them who it was. They would probably go "Old Grandads Music". or "Dad Rock".
