George Christie remembers a violent fight in the war between the Hells Angels and the Mongols 

I can't imagine the continuous anxiety living that life. Exhausting

Old Man John and his cigar have invaded my families home many, many times. I was a kid. he was there because of my father. Dad and John were good friends too. My Dad's name was LACO Bob Lawrence. He was Los Angeles Chapter H.A. President in the late 60's - mid 70's. As a kid, I looked in awe at the bikes, even noticed the females & all the reds & wine. Our home was in Eagle Rock, our neighbors didn't know what to think. We had been there forever. I have great memories. Before H.A., my father was Pres. of the Knight Riders, if anyone remembers them. I wish I could talk to George Christie about those days. Take care all, ride safe & all that.

" War is no romantic..." So true!

Love his stories, no ego.

Prayers for John... that was serious tribute from the heart ...

I have family in the Angels chapter 81 out of Durham NC & the life style they live is beyond crazy . Imagine the stories George can’t tell 🫡💯

I don't know George and will not act like I do, but he is a man amongst men who has seen plenty in his life, career, and years as an MC member. That is what "Respect your elders" translates to. That being said, when he gives you advice, take it. No questions asked.

I love George, Hes no DumbAss he’s the real deal. He walked away from government job with a good salary advancement and a pension for the life. That’s Hard Core. Intelligent Cat.

The Hells Angels is a group that has fascinated me recently and Motor Clubs in general, they have the most insane stories that end up being the funniest to the most horrible things. Rock on, everybody

Growing up in that era and reading or listening to GC. Brings back the good and bad times then. I've really enjoyed his books and look forward to many more. He was a true outlaw biker!

Just finished George's book, FANTASTIC!!! I know nothing of MC's or hell's angels, but I know war is hell. Semper Fi. Rock on George

I ball my eyes out. Never wanted to see these guys grow old. They are salt of Earth! That "Animal" was one of best dudes I ever met in life. Wouldn't want to get on his bad side. But I so privileged, looked him square in the eye. He was one great, loyal and courageous man. I'm not talking physical strength. He let me see his heart. I'm FOREVER in debt .. Hope Gus sees this. Man what I'd give to do it again.

Don't care how big or tough you are. You're nervous when shit goes down. Much respect. He lead the toughest group I ever met.

I could listen to George Christie tell stories all day

Grew up in Ventura where the Hells Angels were respectful (unless it wasn't reciprocated). George lived down the street from my parents and other members lived up the street (in one of the nicest neighborhoods in town). I was lucky enough to have a beer or two with George at Bombay's back in the day. Always enjoyed his stories and wisdom.

George is thee Legend man I’m such a follower of this man I have the highest Respect for George Christie 🤙❤️👊🏽💪🇺🇸

This is the TRUE RESPECT and honoring of "The Stuff That Legends Are Made Of"..

Great interview Jon Always enjoy listening to ya George Articulate well Have watched a bunch of your Outlaw Chronicles Shows Whole bunch of History Lots of Respect

I grew up hanging around George. He even went to my parents' wedding. Glad to see he's doing well.

Great story thank you for sharing.

Just stumbled upon this channel, gained a subscriber

Thank you for the truth!!!

Fascinating! I only wish wish you would post the full version on youtube. I'm going through it on Spotify but there's no video 😑

Glad your telling your story George because if you don’t tell your side someone else will try to tell it someday

New upload! I'm ecstatic!

Jon Bernthal is actually a really good interviewer, asks thoughtful questions, waits and listens to the answers.

Great interview 👍🏻

Much luv and respect Jon

I would have rode with George any time. He had sense and backbone, which is rare

I knew many Mexicans and half Mexicans who were HA. Only thing you couldn’t be was black. That’s facts

Not being an MC member but all the things I've heard from George Christie he comes across as the smart one to have been the main leader /PRESIDENT. And would of been the one I would have wanted to be leader if I had ever joined . He is smart and calculates any situation.He realized it was better to be at peace with other clubs because the main enemy for ALL of them were the cops .And wasn't hot headed and jumping into situations.

True OG.

Old Man John's daughter lived across the street from me. When her dad passed she gave us stacks of his cigar boxes. She joined her dad and I miss her.

1972 met Big Red of the HA Glendale Chapter in a parking lot (Bob's Big Boy I think). Gave him a bag of smoke, and he let a mama and a house mouse accompany me and my homie to our pad in San Diego (Ocean Beach). Straight-up solid dude.

And the war goes on til this day, possibly the longest running.

"Anyone thinks that war is romantic has never been to war. because it's not romantic" -- George Christie Also George Christie: "Let me tell you a cool Mongrol/Hells Angel war story," as he grins ear to ear. These guys took Sons of Anarchy WAY TOO seriously.

I really enjoy these interviews

When the punch is just right, you can just feel it all the way up your arm. If you have your foot planted right behind you to push off. Awesome feeling can't Explain it if you don't know. Done it so many times I've lost count. Stay Strong !

Am i the only one who thinks George Christie looks like an aged Simon Pegg??

I love these heartwarming stories from thieves, rapists, dope peddlers, pimps and murderers.

Even the most violent gangsters turn into shuffleboard playing old men in time .

In early 80's I tended bar at a dive bar outside of San Jose that was frequented by Hell's Angels from time to time. They were always good dudes.

Two charming men!

F*** Jay Dobyns, now you got a real American Legend there. These are the type of men that made me want to ride.

I did plumbing estimates at his old house when it went up for sale George wasn’t around Super cool pad part of it was a store front modified with a big stage looking living room. Ventura ave

Dude can articulate

War gets you in situations you don't want to be in and gets you to do things you don't want to do

Cool stuff. George Christie og badass. Its cool seein Jon Bernthal on this great actor. Awesome in Shot Caller

Idk why I'm just kid from montreal but I feel like it'd be nice to talk to Jon idk weird feeling I'd chat with him feels welcoming

id like to see phill cross do some interviews. his book about the gypsy joker war is way more interesting than these tired stories every one has heard. he was close to jethrow pettigrew and steve tausan, legendary angels. he was right there when the angels were hanging out with jimi hendrix, jannis, jefferson airplane, the doors etc.

Haha people make fun of me in my old videos ... I wear sunglasses over my glasses for years... I looked like a complete Moran but it worked.

Looks like they filmed that at the Deer lodge in upper Ojai , Ca

I was at a place forgot name ( maybe great Western ) by the 5 freeway . Not there anymore. In 75 or 76. I was 22.. and I remember Mongol & Hell angel got into it..

This is an Awesome story From A True OG if you carefully listen The 1% are mostly American veterans structure of Being In A. True MC has to have A chain of command very well spoken OG much love and respect

The way Jon is talking about Santa Ana tells me he only knows the tourist attraction area of Santa Ana. Long Beach is super nice too. Montebello is super nice too. New Jersey and New York are super nice too. It depends on what area [>

"Why did he take him?" When you need to do somethings you take a trusted companion. Someone you know won't snitch.

It’s true I know many Mexican Americans who are HA.

I wish the interviewer would let George talk.

Like the cool headed and fair response here GC has about his enemies. A lesser person would have held grudges.

Rip fat ray!!! Johnny angel and Cisco both og Oakland members good ass people!!

I got back from Vietnam 2/502 INF 101st Airborne, Team Sniper, first thing I did was to, get my Triumph back on the road. We spent close to 330 days in the A Shaw Vally AO.. I kept hearing from other club members how their club was at war with some other club .... they seemed to want numbers .... I had one other combat veteran friend who rode with me... After a couple parties with these guys, I realized they had no combat experience. I bought this old Pan and hated it! So I took my 64 Trump, put a 750 CC Kit on it, and "POSI FUEL" fuel injector on it with this new transistorized ignition. I could do a "ton", no problem and it was skinny, light ... plus I ran Dunlap K-81 80% profile tires... lowered it a full 2 Inches, banana seat and mustang tank.... Years later I bought a dresser so my wife could ride from Michigan to Florida with me...slow, but a Caddy on two wheels. I told the VP of that Angles Chapter, I already fought in one war .... and I knew what real war was about, personal kills.... so my buddy and I never went back, we just met up on the weekends as we both worked and split the white lines for years... I'm 74' now, Cancer got him (Agent Orange), those broken bones I had from Nam have stopped me from riding, even walking now.... Be safe.... face in the wind....

RIP George C. Jr. From the 805

RIP Georgie, Vincent, Josh

Great story

Great Stories the MC life is not for the faint at heart if your true to the culture there's nothing like it, minus the BS and some who just live to raise hell just because they can. MC4L

George not sure if you rember I'm the youngster scooter Mark I used to ride to the wheel in Ohio and smoked a joint with you and John Kay at the club house in the 80s anyway your one of the greatest people I've ever meet I still look up to you and wish you and yours allways

That my uncle Bud you talking you last time you said it was 1972. My dad Chief was already in Tulsa.

He got shafted...a good man....brokered many peace between clubs...

7:23 I was there but I think it was at the City of Commerce. Sheriffs closed all of the doors and started running around like crazy.

When you interview a Man of integrity, you don’t sit sidesaddle on your couch….!

Seems like a solid dude. To bad things ended the way they did.

It's cool that outlaw Mc clubs still have underworld power all over Canada, California, western US, etc.

PUNISHER 🤘

Totally unrelated but I can never take Jon Bernthal seriously since the wolf of wall street. dude is funnny af. LMAOO.

+what a great story, guy sees his old lady with a rival club and seriously outnumbered, he don't care.... just smashed the guy she's with+

Some classic old school outlaw s*** Back in the good old days 🤔😮

How do I watch the full video and interview. Spotify is audio only.

"what was the reason for your rise up the way that you did" I was just wondering that as he asked.

This is actually not true. Plenty of people who have been to war end up missing it. You have a clear purpose, you're part of a very clear tribe and you a very clear "other" that you must defeat. It fills all the needs in Maslows hierarchy and speaks to the most primal human instincts.

Well damn... Santa Ana was always active I guess ❤

This vid thumbnail looks majorly like an old Simon Pegg

I don't care what anyone says. George is a classy guy!!

81 FOREVER!

What up georgue it is me louis from honduras from la tuna

Recap by Tammy AI

Why NO FULL INTERVIEW Posted?

Jon Bernthal, I suggest you reach out to the Hellfighters M/M based out of MS. I’m the President of the Shenandoah Valley Unit. Those involved with the Hellfighters would make for great interviews from their past to now. It will be real and real positive. God bless.

Hay Christy Slick Dirty DOZEN Arizona with a big smile

Fellow Bandito , all things considered, my distant cousins father was an old HA. We went there for a holiday thing. We ate and I met him and we had a good time he was cool as hell showed me his bikes (granted… this was before I heard he was HA and definitely before the family told him my business 🤣” but again all politics aside he and his friends were cool dudes man.. the majority are all the same just different name. 1%love ✌️

Counterculture has always been so interesting, in all forms.

George Cristie is a legend and a giant among real men! Very sad how his club experience ended, he gave all and ended up out and shunnned over mc politics. Much respect for him, a class act all the way!

Wow! Jon I just happened to come across this video and watched it and to be honest I can relate to George on his life as Hells Angel, Being a son of a biker who he was an local enforcer who's retired from the club as well as others, they started with 12 and as many other biker club were called The Dirty Dozen but dad was 13th. I been to many hog parties, swap meets helped set them up and there are people claiming they are just ruthless and corrupt for the most part any MC is. But they all respect children and mothers and its a Hell No!! To kill or hit a woman, children. But yea I still have his colors and all his cuts on it. He's dead and gone for longtime now but I remember when I first met Big and I mean huge guy his name was "Heavy" big heavy Moore and he was one that worked guys Harleys but to sit with these men I never heard so many nick names..lol my dad's was "Blackie" but he wasn't black..lol but I'm glad I came across this video, I like every movie you played in and now I know you have channel I subscribe to it. Can't wait to see other videos you make. Keep up great work on and off screen..lol

Yer we have the Mongels Mc in Australia now all good just a bunch of mates that like motorcycles

Jon jus came off the set of american gigolo with tha fit. 😂

Good for book sales..😳

I would love to meet George!!

The Ventura club was like kin to me and my mom's even more, kinda weird cuz I heard about my pops talking on George christie and my mom's too my first time seeing him tho just strange I heard about dude quite a few times, this be strange lowpro

Real 1%er bikers are the most solid gangster's of all

I like the angels because they were NEVER one to throw the first punch ... They are never antagonist and try to avoid trouble.

Once and Angel woman always a Angels woman. Wow you lost the best sisters you got ever have,
