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

[LONESTYLE at aol.com]

No offense I used to like them.... but all that revival of Ska stuff got  
boring in the mid 90's. Too many bands sounding a bit too happy and all the  
same.

I'd  reccomdend seeing the Mighty Mighy Bosstones though (good ska-punk and 
 very pro-audience)...Outstanding songs too.

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.
