I was really looking forward to seeing Black Flag. Listened to them when I got into this stuff back in 86 and every once in a while after. I went to this show and still feel like I never saw Black Flag or the Misfits. A lot of other bands killed though Viagra Boys, Scowl, Agent Orange, Dillenger Escape Plan, abd Turnstile were the high points for me. I didn't expect to like the Damned, but they were great live.
I saw them at the Hollywood Palladium, a benefit for the West Memphis Three. Mike Vallely sang all of "My War" with the band. Then, Dez Cadena and Robo played a "Damaged" and "First Four Years" set. That was really great! Greg Ginn can do what he wants, it's ultimately his band. Henry Rollins didn't found it, he just sang on some of their more notable albums.
You're mixing up the benefits, Greg's was a benefit for cats. The west memphis benefit you're thinking of was done by Henry along with a bunch of guest singers, including Keith
To all the dickheads commenting that this is not black flag, lemme jus educate you. Mike Vallely is the new singer of Black Flag, so yes this is Black Flag. But as per usual no one does research before shittalkin
just go to a concert that's not lame. Went to a Chats show a few weeks back and cellphones were occasionally out for only literal seconds at a time. Unfortunately, no one wants to get active and jump around at a modern black flag show because they have no energy to them.
The Dead Kennedys without Jello Biafra is ridiculous. I mean, if he were deceased and vocalist was standing in for a benefit, sure. But anything less is just absurd karaoke. Notice how they haven't tried to release any new material. That's because they can't write creditable DK songs without Jello.
