Harley's likely a year or two older. Huge scandal.

why is the new bass player called 'the gook' what's goin on

am i right in understanding that he was not part of the band at the time of the stabbing?

you're saying The Gook was in the dressing room ready to play the show, Flanagan burst in with a knife, The Gook was quickly fired from the band and then stabbed, then rushed to the hospital and reinstated in time to be called "the current bassist" in the story?

Harley's side of the story...

I don't think I'm buying Harley's story.

John Joseph's rebuttal:

I know the American thing is never to believe the accused and worship the "victims", but John's story is changing an awful lot...

I know you've been waiting with bated breath:

Bassist Harley Flanagan has reached a settlement with singer John Joseph and drummer Mackie Jayson regarding ownership of the Cro-Mags name. Flanagan will now perform under the name Cro-Mags while Joseph and Jayson will perform as Cro-Mags “JM.”

See below for Harley’s full statement:

"After many years of confusion, rumor and dispute, I, John Joseph and Mackie Jayson have reached a settlement designed to avoid any further confusion about the Cro-Mags mark and band. I, as the founder of the band and bass player on all Cro-Mags albums (Age of Quarrel, Best Wishes, Alpha Omega, Near Death Experience and Revenge) will be performing as Cro-Mags going forward and have exclusive ownership of the name as such in all commercial purposes world-wide. There will be a three month transition during which time I will be performing as Cro-Mags and John and Mackie’s shows may still be advertised as Cro-Mags as they finalize their name change to CRO-MAGS “JM”. During this transition period, to confirm which band you want to see, please check on our websites or social media pages. As of August 1, 2019, all shows under the CRO-MAGS name (on its own) will feature me, and all of John and Mackie’s shows will be under the name CRO-MAGS “JM”. Thanks for your patience as we wrap this up. Now that we have come to an agreement, I look forward to continuing to deliver music from the entire Cro-Mags catalogue the fans have come to know and love, be able to perform live without confusion and continue to create new music with the distinctive sound that is Cro-Mags."

well that's all cleared up then

I, as the founder of the band and bass player on all Cro-Mags albums (Age of Quarrel, Best Wishes, Alpha Omega, Near Death Experience and Revenge the good one and the other four)
