The New York Hardcore Chronicles 10 Questions w/ the infamous NYHC pit legend Rat Bones. While shooting the "Forever And Always" segment for The New York Hardcore Chronicles Film we managed to fit in 10 questions.
I'll never forget rat bones hiding in my trunk from the police for hours in the middle of winter till we could sneak him to merauders van. Im glad he looks good and healthy. I had my drug run ins too, happy to see others survived the poison
Just met Ratbones this morning, he was on the Central Park stage crew and helped us cross-load our gear. Saw my Cold As Life shirt and immediately b-lined for me. Dude’s cool as hell
I went to see Neglect, Subzero, Tension* and 25 ta Life at Club Ritual on Long Island back in like 2005? In between sets Rat Bones randomly approached me and was just talking about having a good time in the pit. It was a cool quick interaction.
If you saw Gut Instinct, you saw the kings of Maryland HC. Terribly underrated band but is MD kids worshipped them. They rival any HC band from anywhere!
I remember Harpo's in Detroit. A very rough part of Detroit for a kid like me who grew up in rural west Michigan. I was sure my friends and i would be killed before we made it into the show! LOL
I used to go to Harpos all the time in the last 90's/early 00's. More than once I ran into kids walking around asking for a ride out of town because their car was stolen during whatever show was going on. I *ALWAYS* got down there early to park in the lot or on the street right next to the venue. Fun fact: all the beer in the taps at the time was Bud Light and Labatt Blue. No matter what the tap said - those two beers only.
why dis rat bones cause he had a problem? he's been sober for a while & he's been around a very long time . he's a nice guy and he's good to his family
The first time I ever went to Harpos I had to step over some guy in the doorway who was bloody as fuck. Thought he got tuned up by the bouncers but as it turned out he had gotten stabbed like 17 times or some shit. Real nice neighborhood back in those days lol
Anyone read Harley's book? He says this is one of the guys that jumped him at that incident that happened a few years ago backstage at a show. He says he bit his face. Crazy shit. Great book alota hardcore history.
Harley can't read how could he write a book. Harley pulled a knife thats Harley he has no knuckle game he was the brass knuckle sucker punch when he had his boys around him. Shit you seen him get dressed up in kung fu shit and lose to little kids. Harley just got his ass beat like he did when he was in school. Rat bones didn't bit his face.
it is, it still has shows, black flag version 8.0 or whatever,just played there. I have a pic of me,John brannon, dez from bf, and Jerry only in a pic.
