Title: Has anyone seen "Black Flag" recently?
Post by: Jared on July 17, 2019, 04:28:36 PM
Some band called Black Flag is playing here in a few weeks, I got free tickets and I'm wondering what to expect. Will it be an hour of Greg Ginn and his theremin? Will I leave feeling like I have... nothing left inside? As though... I've had it? Or will I come to find that my reservations are all... in my head?

I mean, it's free, so... who gives a shit, right?

Paging Russ Romance...

There's a bunch of vids of the current live show. Loads of critique in the FB SST group. Personally would like to never give Ginn another cent, but if it's free...

Bassist change?

Maybe the drummer got better, but it really seems off...

These stage setups are the worst. If you saw BF with Dez or Henry screaming a few feet from your face with a packed club behind you going crazy...nah, why bother.

ETA: Whatever you do, do not watch the 4-min Louie, Louie with the funky breakdown and Ginn "boogeying"

What do the kids say these days? Cringe?

Kinda sounds like if you went to see a metal band or a bad bar band and they did a Black Flag cover. Pretty horrible, but what do you expect? Milk it, baby. Milk it.

I still maintain that even with a shitty lineup, if they just played start to finish Process Of Weeding Out, everyone would walk away pissed, and, well, mission accomplished.

I would honestly take that or the theremin to the above.

Mad respect for Rollins and his work ethic; will always remember the first time I heard "Damaged". But yeah, lets not forget, in the early 90's, this dude was a total narcissist. I remember him going on the Dennis Miller show and doing the entire post-show interview with his shirt off. You won't find egos much bigger than Rollins circa 1992.-4.

He was the John Wayne for the 90’s.

I just harbor some slight ill will for him because I was browsing Devo singles at a record shop and I came across a hard to find import which he saw in my hands and the snatches it and goes “I’ll take that!”

Damaged and some later Flag songs (Rat’s Eyes maaaan) And the first Rollins band album are still great.

Greg sounds like absolute garbage in that clip.  It's 3-4 power chords on dirt simple songs you've been playing for over 30 years and you're still lagging?  Damn...maybe he has arthritis.  Drummer is pretty crap too but Greg to me was the worst part

I guess his name was sacrificed in order to point out how fucking absurd it is that Mike Vallely is in Black Flag.
