The New York Hardcore Chronicles "Riley's Attic" (Episode 4). Lifelong collector Bob Riley (Stigmata / Murderer's Row) walks us though some more of his incredible collection. Directed by Drew Stone
Can't believe I sold all my records over the years. That Side by Side 7in. is the quintessential hardcore classic. I remember buying Ball of Destruction from Vinny himself outside CB's and meeting Freddy . Kid looked no older than 12. Man I really miss those days. Sucks to be 47 but not a day goes by when I'm not listening to one of those classic records at the gym.
One of the absolutely hardest shows I ever saw was when AF played Detroit with Murphy’s law not long after Arf came out. Freddy was a little kid and sang that bit from Blind Justice. AF had such a bad rep outside of NY that hardly anyone showed for good reason, the place was crawling with out of state WAR skins.
Whoo hoo! Nobody mentions YOT was a CT band. Loved seeing Sick of it All and Slapshot together when he was flipping through records in the beginning. Those were the first two albums I ever owned!
side note on the yot "we just might" part - i believe the label (kevin 7 seconds) did not like the aggressive tone of the song. on break down the walls they re-recorded the same actual song but with different lyrics "time to forgive".
Really? I read that Jello Biafra didn't want the 7 Seconds song "No Class No Way" (because of the lyrics being misinterpreted, especially the part where Kevin sings "You whore!") on the Alternative Tentacles label. The song along withe record went unreleased until they put it out on "Old School" album in the early 90's. The song's lyrics were changed and re-titled as "Regress No Way" for their 1986 "Walk Together, Rock Together" album.
