The legacy of Dead Boys lay in live presentation and lore. Shaving a swastika on a groupie's vagina. Getting shot at in the streets. Probably the most punk of what the punk spirit represented. These are icy cold rock'n'roll tunes that took the Stooges for a run for their money. Stiv was a retard with lightening bolts for fingers, the way they took the stage, Cheetah in dog collar, it unsettled the night into a parlor of debauchery that would follow. With this Young, Loud, And Snotty is one of the finest free expression records of '77, total rock'n'roll piss, vinegar, and shit your pants. A brutal misogyny hoovered all around it, a love for the dying night, dragging a bitch by her hair to your fuck cave, riffs so raw that would usher in Guns' n 'Roses. YLAS had the chops, albeit fierce and misanthropic, live and direct from some shithole in Cleveland, Ohio. They were truly a force to be reckoned with in '77, the influence shows as much, truly a classic
