today i visited the museum of modern art here in salzburg, they run a big Raymond Pettibon exhibition with his original artwork. His artwork is amazing and they displayed a lot of it. They have a big wall there which is only dedicated to the Black Flag Albums, Posters, Flyers .... :-) just epic
Miles Davis. Kurt Cobain was an actual artist. From his video concepts to paintngs and sculpture. John Lennon was one too.. Alot of those brits went to art school in the early 60's
After watching this again I just realized how many times Raymond Pettibone and Flea say"Like you know" a lot of freaking times to point where I just start cracking up as soon as they say it.
Watched this on another site somewhere. Couple years ago. Its a good film. I like the interviews. It sticks with the subject. Love the Rollins and Morris interviews. Keith Morris is a lovely human being. BLESS♥
Simply amazing...what else can I say. I was so influenced by Black Flag and Pettibon's art, made me want to make punk rock flyers...which I did. Wearing a Black Flag shirt in in school would get you sent to the principal's office...Looking forward to the rest of the series!!
These Art of Punk episodes are great (if only they were a little longer),hoping they're not just leaving at three episodes,it'd be great to see more,The Misfits would be cool.
I heard the band before I saw the logo or even knew their name but once I heard them in the middle of the night on Rodney on the Roc I HAD to hear more and was punk in an instant
Henry:No more loyal a compadre to Greg.Chuck, Keith, Flea...many others as well.I love my brother more than anything.Luyv .It's not Greg's fault--it's brain chemistry--and love,love,love will be returned w/hate.His enablers, his sychophants,on the other hand...y'all get the treatment yrselves...soon.Thnx Henry,Chuck,Keith,Flea.And love to Greg, my bro.
how is it greg ginn and his brother are responsible for one of the most powerful influential bands of the last half century and yet neither seem to be able to string together a coherent sentence....
Greg is a super-nice guy at shows, always hanging out before & after, surrounded with adoring fans wanting autographs & selfies, he looks really healthy & still shreds his guitar apart on stage. When he plays he looks almost possessed like he always has. I didn't want to play "Black Flag superfan" so I didn't talk to him but I hung out a few minutes nearby and, yeah, he has trouble with words like Ray and you can tell he's super-intelligent.
On March 5, 1985, the Dickies were one of a number of California punk bands to play a very unexpected benefit show; other bands on the bill included the Circle Jerks, the Vandals, and D.I. The show's beneficiaries were the Cypress College Republicans.
I had two different Black Flag shirts torn off of me in fights. The Slip It In shirt and the Cop with a gun in his mouth. I was attacked by "decent" people for having such horrible crap on me in public. I was 15 and 17 at the time. That's the sign of great art, when someone will just start punching you for displaying it. I was pissed to lose the shirts both times, but I loved to fight bullies, so it evened out.
some people approach me and think my tattoo is an unimaginative cover-up, others (the cool ones), just nod or start telling me their favorite black flag story. Then there's the young who equate this with henry, and i have to educate them on the GOOD, the REAL, black flag.
The REAL Black Flag to me was Greg, Henry, Kira and Bill. I'm not young, I got to see them several times in the mid 80s. When Henry was on vocals, it took BF to a whole other original innovative sound. So your opinion is just that, just an opinion.
I find it interesting that none of these black flag docs include interviews with Greg Ginn. I don’t know if that’s because he won’t do interviews (?), but Greg Ginn IS black flag. There is no black flag without GG!
Which is why I have absolutely ZERO issues with Black Flag still being a band and touring. After all, it is Greg Ginn's band. Frank Vallely (sp?) is pretty good on stage, too. Not great, but pretty damn good.
I was there. I have many of Ray's flyers. Originals from the early 80's that I collected and went to the gigs. I've seen every version/lineup of Black Flag, and had been supporting them until my war came out which I loved, then I step alway after that.i have the nude man flyer I this documentary, and one nude devil with the arrow headed penis lol!
Please can anyone tell me what Flea says at 7:29, I'm creating portuguese subtitles for this video, but I can't get the job done without knowing what he says there. It's pretty weird, imo.
Raw Nerve - Hemlock no longer active, but they’re so fuckin’ good band, I think I heard another tune in the background which called ‘dating problems’ the bass player of raw nerve runs a small record label - Not Normal Tapes’ you can find some really cool stuff there :)
@@jameshampton3102 OK, so I'm surely wrong. I remember Rollins telling the story of how he was on his way to or from work when Ian asked him to jump up on stage and sing, or to try out. The song was Clocked In that apparently got Henry the job. I might be butchering the story, but I believe I heard that from the documentary "American Hardcore" or I might have heard it on a Black Flag documentary. You got me wondering so I'm gonna find it tonight & I'll come back & straighten it out.
