I'm jealous of you guys. I assume you saw Husker Du, Bad Brains et al too?
― Herman G. Neuname, Wednesday, 2 January 2008 18:11 (sixteen years ago) link
only saw the bad brains twice, both shows in support of 'i against i' -- the one gig at the ritz was pretty amazing but the cb's show was so oversold that people were passing out left and right and there wasn't enough room for a pit so the place felt like a cauldron of pent-up testosterone.
husker du = one of my favorite bands of all time, and sure i saw them 5 or 6 times, too, all before 'warehouse' era. they were so incredibly loud and trebley it was really really hard to go see them. one show, them at 688 in atlanta, they were so loud and it was a pretty small club, it was so loud that you couldn't hear them, it felt like you were underwater or inside a vacuum or something -- might have even been close to mbv levels of loud.

the totally angular/ jagged/ crazy stuff that dez and greg were doing together
that's why I vote for Damaged, the two guitar attack was never duplicated elsewhere and that is what moves my soul.

Are you deaf because of it Mike? ;)
― Herman G. Neuname, Thursday, 3 January 2008 01:26 (sixteen years ago) link
actually yes -- what else could explain my love fro bands like slovenly and half japanese and trad gras och stenar and blind mamie forehand and etc?
I'VE NEVER ACTUALLY HEARD ANY OF THEM.
i just think they are cute!
― Mike McGooney-gal, Thursday, 3 January 2008 03:35 (sixteen years ago) link
supposed to say love FOR bands but i also like the idea of "love fro bands" as a genre -- ohh yeah they're another one of those "love 'fro" bands.

the guy second from right in the above picture always looks so uncomfortable in that pic.

was he a hunchback?
― stevie, Monday, 14 January 2008 20:24 (sixteen years ago) link
That's C'el, isn't it? He was the acid-head bassist they hired after Kira left. Rollins doesn't think much of him in GITV.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

So what's going to finish behind Damaged and First Four Years?
― Herman G. Neuname, Tuesday, 15 January 2008 00:20 (sixteen years ago) link
I went for Slip It In but that's just because it's what I'm feeling lately. Black Coffee, Rats Eyes, The Bars, My Ghetto. That sums up my life experience for the last few months. Don't get me wrong, I grew up on Damaged and all the pre-Rollins stuff, but Nervous Breakdown, TV Party, Rise Above and Six Pack express a hope and sense of lightness I don't really feel right now.

I think My War is going to be a bit of a dark horse in this poll.

7 hours left nearly til poll close. Vote!

Ahhh! The First Four Years beaten into third by the lurking My War fans! Damn it all to hell!

what clown car pulled up and voted for who's got the 10 1/2?
― Edward III, Wednesday, 16 January 2008 02:26 (sixteen years ago) link
I love that there are votes for every album. Somebody more obsessive than me needs to find out which other bands on ILM have had that kind of result.
― sleeve, Wednesday, 16 January 2008 02:36 (sixteen years ago) link
Husker Du managed that too.
― Herman G. Neuname, Wednesday, 16 January 2008 22:56 (sixteen years ago) link
I think thats a great live album.
― Herman G. Neuname, Wednesday, 30 July 2008 18:44 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah, as far as live albums go, that's one of the better ones I've ever heard.
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 30 July 2008 18:56 (sixteen years ago) link
Just listening to it now for the first time. Sounds tons better than Live '84 so far.
― MacDara, Wednesday, 30 July 2008 20:27 (sixteen years ago) link
i found one cassette of a audio book version of get in the van in our practice space, been rocking rollins bad vibes in the car all week.
good lord i can't believe anyone put themselves through that shit. lots of lolz but jesus christ it sounds like it was miserable.
― M@tt He1ges0n, Wednesday, 30 July 2008 20:33 (sixteen years ago) link
dunno, it always struck me as blandly rocking combined with rollins being insufferable by that point. I find the whole "who's got the 10 1/2" routine is cringe-inducing.

Oh god, I'm boring but it's Damaged all the way.
My favourite Flag story comes from a friend of mine who saw them at the Christmas on Earth Festival in Leeds. When was it? 1981? He must have been about 13.
The glue bag, studded ,mohawks just did not understand How could this fucking Yank bunch of 'straights' out punk by far, every fucker on the bill.

I don't think the amg writer would agree with the ILM placing of My War

and does Edward III still hate that live album?

I forget if we did an ep's poll. If we didn't, anyone interested in one? Or are we all SST'd out for now?
If 5 people say do it then I might just go ahead.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Wednesday, 31 March 2010 22:45 (fourteen years ago) link
Edward III are you around?

Just tried listening to My War for the first time in like 25 years. Yeesh. They should have called it quits after Damaged.
― Darin, Thursday, 1 April 2010 21:26 (fourteen years ago) link
heh at least 20 ilx0rs disagree with you
