Holy shit!
I forgot to mention F.Y.P. My favorite SoCal punk band other than D.I. or the Circle Jerks.
I went to a show to see them on the day Kurt Cobain killed himself. I know it's an odd reference but those two things burned into one for my memory.
My good friend (we still keep up to this day and sometimes play COD) indulged a little too much and ended up scaling the amp and speaker stacks on the left side of the stage. At least 10 feet high, at least. The show kind of stopped and IIRC the singer (Todd Congelliere) said something along the lines " You're acting like GG Allin up there and my bro screams "I killed fucking GG Allin".
So, the crowd is annoyed, the music has stopped, the band is getting annoyed, my bro is realizing he is the center of attention and can't simply climb down and slink away. As the crowd screams for him to jump or stagedive he eyes the drum set. The drummer sees this and gives a look Like whatever dude and takes two steps back. My friend leapt directly into the drums.
It was epic and a great show.
F.Y.P. were cool as hell about the whole thing and after the show asked if my bro would like to cruise with them as they were headed to Seattle or Tacoma, or whatever.
He had to politely decline because his mom was picking us up after the show <45>.
Fucking good times!
F.Y.P.
D.I.
Circle Jerks My all-time favorite punk band and album. 17:14
You yell out in defiance
You're backed up against the wall
They're up there clutching their guns and
It makes you feel real small
So you can cuss,
Spit,
Throw bottles
Broken glass
But it all ends up with handcuffs on you hands
You run around and spray paint
Graffiti on everybody's wall
You think that's bitchin' man
That ain't nothing at all!
So you can cuss,spit,throw bottles
Broken glass
But it ends up with a swift kick to your ass
GG Allin if you dont know about him. I never thought his music was good or he was cool. Just context.
