Punk Fuckin Rock

Jerry Only is still in the Misfits, he is an original member....
....and I think Glenn Danzig actually is back with them if I'm not mistaken....
I don't think they play anything from American Psycho or Famous Monsters live though with Danzig back...

...and Doyle was an original roadie, Danzig actually taught him how to play the guitar, and joined as the guitar player of The Misfits in 1980....

....I enjoy both era's
 
Actually Dave Lombardo from Slayer is the drummer in the Misfits now....
...not that I'm a huge Slayer fan, but that guy can play the drums for sure...
...
...I've seen Sick of it All a couple times live, definitely a great pit....circie pit madness

Death by Stereo some good heavy stuff, and Ensign some good hardcore...

has there ever been a better band than the Stooges?

(the obvious answer is no)

i've been lucky to see the line-up with Ron Asheton on guitar (approximately the line-up for the first self album and Fun House)

I'm extremely jealous.
 
it was a bloody great show - the first time i saw the fantastic James Osterberg.

are you back from your trip, q_r?
i trust you had an amazing time :)
 
Yes, I'm back. Trip was great but another couple of months would have been even better.

Make sure you let me know when you next play.

Seriously? What a waste of talent for Lombardo, there's a some classic thrash bands where a change in drummer would be welcome...Flotsam & Jetsam is the first I can think of. Massive fan of Slayer and thrash metal in general since my brain detects the hardcore punk fused into the genre. Gorilla Biscuits 2 LP's...especially the second basically inventing melodic hardcore on the east coast (Bad Religion was doing it on the west coast) awesome classic stuff. "Competition"'s chorus just came up in my mind hah.

88 Fingers Louie reunited (well, too bad Joe on bass didn't come back for it and remained fully in Rise Against, he was one big chunk of 88fl) and made a new album...the guy's voice changed with age but it's really good, called "Thank You For Being A Friend".
 
Yea..I found it pretty weird he would join The Misfits...
And I like thrash metal specifically for that reason too, it's got that fast Punk beat, that distinct single, double, on the kick.. Instead of just straight double kick all the time....
Bad Religion Suffer I had to re buy so many times...
I really like 88 Fingers Louie, but I never got into Rise Against, even when Joe was still in the band, I think it's just Mr Precision now, right? I've never looked to much into them... I was excited to hear about them, considering the 88fingers connection and was waiting to hear new stuff from the 2 , but I never got into them, didn't suck me in...

But 88 Fingers Louie is freaking great...
 
^^^
Whoops, yea, I guess it's the other way around, Joe is still in Rise Against, and Mr Precision left....just shows what I know about Rise Against... Sorry for that

....but still...
88 Fingers is awsome
 
I found this video from an old Circle Jerks show the other day and I can't quit watching it.

^ Nice. Am fairly ignorant when it comes to many of the lesser known US Punk bands. Should have been less surprised with my Google search results when I put-in 'CIrcle Jerks' tbh.

Hahaha!

Yeah, they were great. Part of the awesome early 80's LA hardcore scene. Black Flag, Negative Approach, Circle Jerks...good times.
 


this is television's version of the classic richard hell track when he was their bass player, before he left and eventually formed the voidoids.

i really love richard lloyd's lead guitar playing.
