on the resurrection of SST and a possible reunion gig with Black Flag...

ahh, no, please. that doesn't need to happen.

your null fame (yournullfame), Thursday, 15 May 2003 12:24 (twenty-two years ago)

no kidding. seeing bad brains last year was depressing enough ...

fields of salmon (fieldsofsalmon), Thursday, 15 May 2003 14:10 (twenty-two years ago)

It would be truly tragic.

Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 15 May 2003 14:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Greg on old BF material: "Some of those songs I haven’t played in 20 years, so I’ll just be doing my interpretation of them and that’s kind of interesting too, doing some of the vocals on some of the songs I’ve written."

Don't do it, Greg!

mike a (mike a), Thursday, 15 May 2003 15:11 (twenty-two years ago)

the part of Hank Rollins will be played by Dolph Lundgren.

Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Thursday, 15 May 2003 15:30 (twenty-two years ago)

After the genius of his Hor sideproject, with the deathless song "Albini Bush Lick," anything Greg does would be an improvement.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 15 May 2003 15:31 (twenty-two years ago)

...But for Black Flag, it was never about money. Although I would love to have it — to do some more releases and do some more advertising — I’ve always avoided that, because that’s never what the band was about. At the same time, I see all these cheesy [reunions] and promoters were calling, so the one way I’d be willing to do something like that is if it could be a benefit for a cat rescue program. (emphasis mine)

PUNK ROCK KITTENS LIVE!

Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Thursday, 15 May 2003 15:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Greg, Chuck, Robo and Dez would work. It would also work with Keith on vocals. I like cats too?
Rollins is touring with Keith Morris in a few weeks, doing a Black Flag set to raise money for the West Memphis Three legal defense fund. I plan on seeing that show. Here are dates from Rollins website.

three months pass...
Fuck yes a Black Flag reunion would kick ass

frank b, Thursday, 21 August 2003 22:06 (twenty-two years ago)

I am in agreement with Frank B, whose opinion mirrors the opinion of my close personal friend and drummer for Factor 8, Josta Baby and (I)*, Frank Fornsaglio.


*(I) is pronounced "Ass".

Helltime Producto (Pavlik), Friday, 22 August 2003 02:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Poop McPants.

Spinktor the Unmerciful (mawill5), Friday, 22 August 2003 02:17 (twenty-two years ago)

But where is Fecal Jesus in this matter?

Helltime Producto (Pavlik), Friday, 22 August 2003 02:19 (twenty-two years ago)

Jesus is crap.

Lamar Squat (mawill5), Friday, 22 August 2003 02:20 (twenty-two years ago)

I'M THINKING TONIGHT OF MY BLUE EYES
CONCERNING THE GREAT SPECKLED BIRD
I DIDN'T KNOW GOD MADE HONKY-TONK ANGELS
AND WENT BACK TO THE WILD SIDE OF LIFE

Helltime Producto (Pavlik), Friday, 22 August 2003 02:32 (twenty-two years ago)

three weeks pass...
WHEN?

I NEED TO KNOW!

SO MY MOM WILL LET ME SEE THE PUNK ROCK BAND.

Spike
