[kj] (OT) Derf Scratch (Fear) RIP

Descendents were from the south bay with Black Flag. They were a great band 
 live!

Oh, I  forgot--the Decendents (are they from around LA too?). Kind of like 
the US  version of the Buzzcocks, with about 1/1000 the recognition and 
record  sales (I just read that
"Harmony in my Head" was on the  UK charts).

Lonely Boy is right--the fun, metallic roar of Flag, the Ramones goes  
country of X, the bluesy grit of Tex and the Horseheads, the cynical  wit and 
skank beat of the Circle Jerks, the glam of Red Kross, the  arty-classic 
rock-funky intellectualism of the Minutemen, the punk and funk of  the Big Boys, 
the country alt-pop of Rand n File (and dozens of other bands I  know 
nothing about)...It's kind of like saying "I never really enjoyed the  
Pistols--they weren't that tight live..."

How can you not like the LA punk scene? The LA punk scene was  awesome!  So 
many great bands came up with so many different  sounds.

This  reminds me of when I saw the Lurkers...they didn't play..they were 
too  pissed and just stood there like twats.
I never really enjoyed the 2nd  wave punk thing, nor the LA punk 
scene...the latter was probably just  cultural, the former because 99% of it was just 
performing monkeys.

FEAR was a favorite growing up. They were erratic, incomprehensible,  
unpredictable, shambolic, frequently idiotic and even more frequently a  powerful 
expression of everything I loved about music at the  time.

Kind of like...KJ?

I loved how they were  always teetering just on the edge of falling apart. 
Growing up I would hear  stories of the Replacements at Duffy's in Mpls (and 
opening for  KJ) or Kirby's in Moorhead, MN (next to Fargo, ND). The 
consensus was  always the same: either you saw the greatest rock'n'roll show ever, 
or you  saw a bunch of drunk fools play KISS covers for 20 minutes before 
falling  off the stage.

I loved FEAR's first two albums. Awesome live band as well.

Can I ask what appealed to you about them?
Worse than the  Expoited, to me.
