I did a search for the Stains and was returned with 'How to get rid of cum stains on keyboard'.
Nothing about this incendiary punk band, who Greg Ginn surely borrowed from
One of SST's finest

what's with the thread title? stains LP was recorded in 81, at which point flag had been playing out for like four years.

It's the 'Ginn' guitar that came later. He wasn't doing that spazzmo jazz atonal bendy shit in '79. (not sure they were together in '77?)
Just asking like.

ginn was a deadhead tho, so the weird jamminess was probably lurking

ginn maybe wasn't going all spaztonal early on, but he was by and before damaged, rec'd in 81 - same year as stains. flag supposedly formed in 76, first played out in 77 (under another name, but w most of the classic lineup). i wasn't there so who knows. thread title comes off a little "challenging" for just asking like, but that's cool.
would love to hear from anyone who's studied the history, or better yet, watched the bands come up...

I'm fascinated too contenderizer as I wasn't there either . 13 in '81 and in England.
All fucking great stuff. That Stains album is worth hearing though.Picked it up a few years ago (way after the event)and it struck me as a great lost SST
Having a Flag turn at the mo' as reading this. Another Limey mess up.
A great read actually

It would be interesting to have Glenn's take on the Stains.
