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

[GREG SLAWSON]

I agree--that scene got flooded and old, and then mostly died out. At least the Bosstones were heavier and probably the best songwriters of the bunch,
and their live shows were pretty punk.

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.
