I was so wasted...

[Beware the Beast Man]

I was a hippie
I was a burnout
I was a dropout, I was out of my head
I was a surfer
I had a skateboard
I was so heavy, man, I lived on the Strand...


Man, I haven't listened to Black Flag in years!

1. How about some Fear?

I love livin in the city...

[Beware the Beast Man]

2. They don't make punk like they used to.

I was just reminiscing about "Decline of Western Civilization" the other day. Fear was classic in that film.

21. "What, exactly, does 'eat my fuck' mean, anyways?"

I'm sorry to report that I went to see Fear in 1993 in Toronto. It was the original lineup, and I was expecting at least a smattering of the energy seen in that documentary.

Alas, they were far from exciting.

And there were lots of old Nazi Skinhead motherfuckers in the audience, which is never fun.

3. or how bout some Dead Kennedy's

[Beware the Beast Man]

4. Funny, but I was more into the DKs long after my initial punk phase.

I think i can appreciate them more now that I am older.

6. "Too drunk to F**ck" is my favorite.

How familiar are you with Pittsburgh?

[Beware the Beast Man]

7. I lived there until age 26.

I've been in Cleveland ever since. I miss the Burgh from time to time, but I wouldn't want to move back.

8. My brother used to play in a punk band that frequented the

"Electric Banana" e moved away when I was 12 and I still long to go back

[Beware the Beast Man]

10. No kidding? What band, if I may ask?

The Banana is no more. The owners changed it into an Italian restaurant.

11. Honestly I'd have to call him and ask him it was soo long ago

their big claim to fame was opening for iggy one night. They were just a couple of high school guys from Upper St Clair.

5. I just listened to Black Flag last night

[Beware the Beast Man]

9. Which era?

I have to say the Dez Cadena period is my personal favorite.

12. How about some Sachharine Trust with that?

Don't come in here
You'll see something ugly
It's not the kind of thing
You'd expect from a body
Don't come in here
Don't see me this way
With my knees on rice
And a prayer for the prey
My face is heavy
My mind is clenched
My eyes are disgusted
My hands are hot
My walls are green
My walls are red
I only cry wolf
When all my sheep are dead

Man, SST Records weren't doing a whole lot wrong back in the day.

[Beware the Beast Man]

13. That's off of "The Blasting Concept," isn't it?

Yeah, SST had a pretty unbeatable roster back in the day.

[asthmaticeog]

14. It is.

It's also on the unfuckwithable "Paganicons" album. Unconditionally recommended.

[Beware the Beast Man]

15. Dare I say it,

I hear shades of your band in their music (I'm listening to it on amazon right now). :thumbsup:

[asthmaticeog]

18. That comes as no surprise.

As a guitarist, I've been hanging from Joe Baiza's sac for many years now.

[dolo amber]

16. Who doesn't listen to Black Flag in years?

Weirdo. :silly:

[Beware the Beast Man]

17. I listened to my fair share in 9th grade.

I practically had Greg Ginn strapped to my back at all times.

[swag]

19. Saw them with Government Issue, Nig Heist, and Meat Puppets

in DC in January 1984.

Really , the punks didn't know what to think of what happened that night. But it was one of those DC shows that was in a church, and my friend June crawled out on the third ledge and into a window of the church office, and got us some nice church name badges.

I also have a plaque that was given to Caspar Weinberger and a push-button phone from the World Bank.

[CanuckAmok]

20. Oooh... "Nig Heist"

I have one of their albums. Nig Heist was pretty fabulous.

[swag]

22. They performed wearing these tiny jockstrap thingies and going

out of their way to point folks in the audience out and loudly insult them in sexual terms.

A good time was had by all.

[RandomKoolzip]

23. Uh oh...an SST thread.

I'm about to burst my fluids......

[Beware the Beast Man]

24. 23 posts later...you're losing your touch.

[asthmaticeog]

25. FIRE IN THE HOLE!

[RandomKoolzip]

26. Uh. UuUuuugh. AAA AAAH!!! AAAAAA AAOH MY GOOOO OOO OO OOOOD DDDDDD!!!

Phew! Who's hungry?
