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

[LONESTYLE at aol.com]

Yes it did with bands like Reel Big Fish, Mustard Plug and countless others 
 that I had my mind forget. :) I wanted to see The Bosstones in the early  
90's at The Whisky but no cash. You're right they were the best songwriters 
of  the lot.

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.
