Damn, I wish I wasn't so young when all these bands were playing.

I have actually seen quite a few of these bands live though, just not at these venues. Anyone else see any of these bands live?

Well, I had already mentioned that I seen Bad Brains. Black Flag, Circle Jerks and The Dead Kennedys were all L.A. punk bands. They were huge out here in the early 80's. I never went to see them play, but I have heard the music quite a bit. I used to skateboard for G&S, Powell & Peralta and Dogtown in the late 70's and early 80's when I was a kid. All of the cats I skated with listen to punk and that's where I got hip to those groups. They were always playing The Whiskey A Go Go, The Roxy, etc in Hollywood.

Dead Kennedys were actually from San Francisco, but they were great just the same.

Yeah, I can imagine the opportunity to see all the L.A. bands would have been pretty great. I grew up in Mpls. but all of these bands played there as well, so I have gotten to see quite a few back in the day. No Bad Brains though.



The Descendents were one of my favorite bands (still are) and also from the L.A. area. They were my first concert ever actually.

Cool ad . Was it from THe VILLAGE VOICE? I went to those clubs and the vibe was Great. I did see Flipper,Bad Brains,Dead Kennedys . Funny. Saw Billy Idol at THE PEPPERMINT Lounge actually. Tell ya this tidbit also..I went to the MUDD CLUB and saw WALL OF VOODOO MEXICAN RADIO. I was ALWAYS UNDERAGE but wore Padded Bras and Makeup and had Older friends plus wearing Glasses makes ya look older and phoney Id ALWAYS Helps also. They actually Proofed my Legal friends and NOT ME... LOL. I guess ya could call me a CLUB KID .. I would hang at Limelight and Tunnel also. Lol. When the OLD Palladium was OPEN I saw Cindy Lauper with BLUE ANGEL open for the HUMAN LEAGUE.. For the LIFE of Me I do NOT KNOW HOW I missed PRINCE at THE RITZ and at The BOTTOM LINE and All around my Birthday. The old Ritz had this 2 dollar night and the HUMAN League was playing. I Love this song SOUND OF THE CROWD. But the Ritz used to AL:WAYS play Don't U Want Me on the Video screen and show Duran Duran's Girl's On Film Nipple with Ice shot anyway First Ave woulda been My Hangout if I lived in MinnieApple but since I was from Ny it was the Ritz. It was ST Marks. I tell ya Prince talked about being from Ny as a Youngin.. Granted him and I would have Probably at First Ave in the Bathroom Stall. I was the Girl with Vinyl Skirts,Gold boots and Colored hair and Punk tops. The Man woulda wanted my Clothes. Since I was a Freak and Made my guys wear my Clothes and did weird shit at night like Skinny dipping..Him and I woulda Broke the Town.... Lol. Cream Cheese and a Bagel Anyone????

Um, yeah I can folllow about HALF of that post....something about a nipple with ice and a bathroom stall and a bagel in there that just flew right over my head, but whatever.

Anyway, First Ave. was fun back then, but it's not NY you know. First Ave. really was the only place to hang out back then. That or the Anarchist Bookstore.

I saw the Misfits in '97. They had a good show. I don't like the music they're doing now, though, I think the only original Misfit in the group now is Jerry Only.

Yep. I actually didn't even know they were still performing until recently. I've heard "American Psycho", but it's just not the same as their old stuff of course.

why do i have to be so young????? i'd gooooo!!!

Is there any Misfits worth listening to after Danzig left? I'm seriously asking.

sextonseven said:

I stopped listening to them after he left, so I can't really say. I did just listen to the album I mentioned above, which came out around 1997, if I'm not mistaken, and it just didn't seem like the Misfits I know and love. Too polished sounding IMO, but it was "ok".
