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

True, and those bands ruined a perfectly good punk scene too. ;)

Milo Goes To College is great, but it did inspire Blink  182 and countless 
awful bouncy pop-punk bands...

 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.
