I started listen to Black Flag growing up in Largo, FL as a skater, I hadn't even started surfing yet. I still like to crank up old BF every once in a while.
How can someone who is a Black Flag fan make people take a UDS? Jesus Christ, is it 4:30 yet? What are we doing here? We shouldn't be at work. We should all be drug smugglers and criminals and sh!t. You can't work and surf.
Yeah, I agree, but, it is what it is. And yeah, work def gets in the way of surfing sometimes, but we are adults now and we have real bills.
Adults? Ah man I don't play that whole, age-dictates-action-thang. If you didn't have anything, you'd have no bills. Man, Rob Machado grows dreds, dudes, and lives all feral and sh!t. He don't work.
Okay, you got me there. But, when ya do have thing, ya has da bills. No would love to live in the islands and run a taco shack all day
Saw them play in Boston a few years back as Flag. Original members minus Greg Ginn. Im a Keith Morris fan. Rad effing show. Capped off a surf trip up to Nova Scotia. Solid way to end it.
Same...saw the Circle Jerks when they came through DC in the mid 80s. Got to hang out after the show...their beer of choice was bud tall boys. By the way Riley I've got all of the Zep albums (well...the ones that matter...which is every one expect the last one where they sucked.), and Black Flag.
I just watched Peter Frampton on Paladia last night, great show. Can't speak for others, but I am no punk rocker, I just enjoy a wide variety of music!
Actually i was referring to In through the Out Door. I can still remember listening to the radio the day that record was released, hearing that crappy blast of keyboards that opens up you know the song and just rolling my eyes like a good 9th grader.
No idea RMB, and good question...At heart I'm a metalhead, but I like all kinds of stuff. And for the record I have every Zep album and the remastered box set. Hell Jimmy Page is the reason I picked up a guitar to begin with. When I started listening to punk it had nothing to do with, well, anything. Was playing bball one day with friends in the neighborhood, one dude would bring his boom box for music while we played. Cassette tapes mang! One day he puts this tape in, and out comes something I've never heard before. Not even close. The singer sucked, the recording sucked, no one was impressive in their ability to play...yet, there was something about it. The rawness, the aggression, the energy, the F U attitude, the honesty of it. I was intruiged... I was gaurding him and said "who the f is that?". "Dead Kennedys" was his reply as he drained a 15 footer. "I need to get some of that." "Bring some tapes by after we're done playing". I left his house that day with several tapes, DK, Black Flag, Circle Jerks...been listening to stuff like that ever since, along with a host of other stuff. But I never went full on into the punk scene. Never been much of a joiner. I'd go see the Dead, then Metallica, then go see a punk rock band in someone's basement. Never felt like I was a part of any scene and didn't really care, they all tend to get clicky and restrictive over time...Dead heads never fully accepted me since I wasn't wearing Birkenstocks...Punks never fully accepted me since I didn't have a jacket with patches and clothespins. Metalheads, well, I'd say the tend to be the most accomodating of those groups. I just dig music, man. Mr. RMB sir, I apologize as I don't have your answer, but hopefully I have provided a small spark of inspiration in your quest to discover the truth of this matter. Godspeed sir...
Kanye west is the greatest of all time.and its obamas fault why everyones a punk.i listen to everything,but not really punk unless its on the radio.the only 3 punk bands I like,which some of u will say they aren't punk,is tsol,the clash,and the johnnys.
TSOL was great until they started to do the glam metal thing. The first Clash album is a masterpiece.
Yeah the old tiny 9:30 club on F St. Also saw TSOL there around the same time...mid 1980s...right before they started to suck.
Riley secretly loves punk rock, don't let him fool you. The whole ride up to RI we listened to wasted on repeat, probly 25 times.
