@RCKYFNGRSDOOM @psyopdrd @_6signxxx I made the film on them, and our intention was never to say that they invented anything. Just that they were ahead of their time. We even interviewed Wayne Kramer of the MC5, who was an influence to them. Unfortunately, our producers, cut it out of the movie.

@psyopdrd @_6signxxx They weren't punk. Proto punk at best and there were other bands before them that could fit that distinction. The Death story is interesting, but the implication was never that they invented punk.

I need people to realize that rock is a Black genre. It’s roots are deeply tied to the innovations of Black artists like Chuck Berry, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, and Little Richard. Its not about "joining" the genre, it is about reclaiming a legacy that was whitewashed.

Be there Atlanta! I’m moving, so this’ll be our last time to hang! 🤙

@gravediggaa187 @jimnarlene Lots of people say Los Saicos. But it’s really all dependent on what you consider punk. DEATH were heavily influenced by The Stooges, MC5 and The Who. And each one of those bands also get labeled as being “the first”. I always say punk is an attitude, so Mozart was punk to me.

@jimnarlene @markcovino Ok so who predates them? As an actual recorded punk record who came before them?

Actually a band called “Death” invented punk in 1971. Three black brothers.

The more things change, the more they stay the same…😮‍💨 #KaiTrump #Trump #MarieAntoinette

@jimnarlene @PunkRockStory I appreciate! I’m rarely on here anymore so this helps! Another thing I wish they’d stop doing is posting that pic I took of the sons dressed as their dad and uncles. There’s so many cool photos of the actual band to choose from out there. Why keep using this fake photo?

@markcovino @PunkRockStory No problem, you'll be tagged every time Death are mentioned.

54 years ago A band called 'Death' was punk before punk was punk Formed in November 1971 by the 3 Hackney brothers, they were influential pioneers of the genre and, along with Pure Hell, the first all-black proto-punk/punk band. #death #protopunk #history #punkrockhistory #knowyourroots

@jimnarlene @PunkRockStory Thanks for the help as always, @jimnarlene ! 🤘🤘

@PunkRockStory As much as I like 'Death', their to say they were influential is a bit of a stretch. They released a single in 76 and another in 80, their first album wasn't released till 2009, tho recorded in 76. @markcovino 's documentary tells the full story.

@half_biscuit @jimnarlene @PunkRockStory Thank you!

@jimnarlene @PunkRockStory @markcovino Great Documentary 👍

@BrianKempGA @winwithwinsome @Jack4NJ HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Today is the day to make sure Virginia and New Jersey have Republican governors who will fight to lower costs, create good paying jobs, and keep our cities safe! If you live in Virginia or New Jersey, go out today and vote for @WinwithWinsome and @Jack4NJ.

You don’t have a right not to be offended. Charlie offended some people, I offend some people. So what? You didn’t like what he said - and then what happened? “He’s influencing people!!” So what, influence them back. In America, we don’t shut down opinions we don’t like. Period.

@jimnarlene @Schmaniel @FeelDaLove25 We really pressed H.R. from Bad Brains and he claims he never even heard of them before the press in 2009. And Pure Hell hate us because they think our band is a fake, lol

@jimnarlene @Schmaniel @FeelDaLove25 Thanks, brother! Yeah, DEATH didn’t influence anyone, unfortunately, lol. They were ahead of their time, but nobody really heard their music in 35 years. They played one Masonic temple show to like 5 peeps. No one bought their 7”. And a radio station played 1 song between 1&3am

👇🏾👇🏾 Fact 😏
