I could have been at the Ottobar this evening and paid 50 bucks to see this lineup. I'm glad my money is still in the bank. This isn't the worst performance I've seen from Greg's group of guys he throws together and tours with as "Black Flag" but Flag with Bill Stevenson and Keith Morris destroyed this.
So sad, so lame, I hate that I just typed those words about these guys, they stay with me every time they played Houston right up till I moved to Seattle in 83, and I love them, even after Henry's attempts to fight me, but all that does not make me want to lie out of kindness. Greg should have set ego and greed aside and did what was right for band and fan alike. To see OG line up with each singer taking a turn would be truly earth shaking.
I don't think any of the former singers or musicians want anything to do with Greg these days. I'm not sure how he did his bandmates but there are stories about him screwing bands that were signed to SST out of money.
Hahah we were there and this video shows 90 percent of the crowd in attendance. Everyone else left as soon as they played. I was so disappointed because these guys acted like big rockstars that felt superior to everyone else. They didn’t allow stage diving or anything. As soon as Mike v grabbed a kid for stage diving and got upset, me and my fiancé left
Seeing this in comparison to the descendents, circle jerks, and adolescents show in Dallas I went to makes me sad. Not looking forward to seeing them this Friday…
You don’t think it’s lame that he slowed down the his playing of the classics to account for Mike V’s lack of vocal ability? I think that is weak. Sounds as if the 45 RPM records are being played at 33.
If you're talking about Ron Reyes he wasn't able to escape without recording a horrible piece of trash album with them. Pretty sure Black Flag is just a cash grab for Greg these days.
Putting black flag on this type of fest was a fucking mistake! Hardcore is at a completely differently place now. Kids don’t even know how to pit to shit like this cause there are no breakdowns for them to crowdkill or 2 step to
