Is it true that No Wave inspired Noise Pop/Noise Rock in the mid 80's, which in turn inspired the British Shoegazing scene in the late 80's/early 90's?

Duck face 

I love the fact that there's still so much bilious dialog here... like... practically 30 years post hoc. Even more evidence to the greatness. A little hint to those who don't get it: It wasn't the singing (although that was part of it) It wasn't the clothing (although that was part of it; skinny ties) It wasn't the dancing (thought that was part of it; contortions) It wasn't the fist fights (though that was part of it; woohoo!) It was THE FUCKING COOL. If you don't get that, you won't.

As do I.

I think his stage presence is quite hypnotic and cool.

fucking hot.

love it. art in the greatest form

does anyone know what sax hes using? thanx in advance

Great! I love James Chance. The Contortions were and are awesome. I had a huge crush on Pat Place. Pat-if you read this, I love you!

James Brown too was a James Brown on speed.  Heh!

Cocaine is a hell of a drug. Ever see the hardest working man in showbusiness on Sonya? Aired back in '87. He was out of his gourd then; eerily similar to this, but less funky.

Love it, love it. Just discovered but already up there with Jesus, McDonalds and Tony Blair.

white can play funk...

You obviously haven't listened to any intelligent artists in the genre but what does that have to do with this anyway? Race has nothing to do with James Chance being in a different scene than James Brown. He's erratic because it's performance art, if you don't get it that's fine but don't hate something just because you don't understand it.

- Listen asshole, I'm not racists. James Brown is my favorite entertainer of all time. Just because I think rappers are low class talentless hacks who only know how to rhyme words together doesn't mean I'm racist you fucking dick.

lol I really wanted to avoid this whole conversation but do you really think your racist diatribe has any weight at all to anyone? I bet you do this all the time, fighting with people over what they like, because you're so sullen in your own life. You must be to waste so much time on YouTube criticizing everyone when you can't possibly have half the talent as the ones you are so pointlessly berating. Grow up, live and let live, it will save you lots of stress.

mooga mooga if you were at his new years eve show at the Mudd Club

Music was my first love.

if u like this be sure to check out the big boys 4rm austin tx.

one of the hardest fucking people to ever walk the earth. This performance tears you to shreds. Anybody who says otherwise is a liar

it was the fist fights over THE FUCKING COOL.

lol i like the argument thats taking place on this page.

- Drop dead fuckface. If you are a male and you were in front of me now I would kick the living shit out of you. If you're a female, I would just cuss you out because I don't hit women. In any case, I can't stand your pathetic fucking ass. Go swallow some broken glass why don't you?

- Why don't you either jump off a bridge or drink arsenic and do us all a big favor you fucking dick.?
