Chuck: I cant really look into the future that far. Interviewer: You cant look five years from now? Chuck: Well I can look, but who knows maybe ill be dead.
It's perplexing how so many so-called fans diss on Rollins when it was Greg's band, and he recognized his talent enough to keep him around for five years. And Chuck and Henry were super close friends back then and still are to this day. All of rock!!!
This footage was what kicked off punk rock in America big-time in the minds of so many people who happened to catch it on late night TV. Back then access to any new forms of music was hard to come by and for many this was one helluva moment to realize that punk rock was alive and in America. I was a loner in Houston at the time with it's tiny little scene that later imploded. If anything punk rock in the USA started in places that it wasn't expected to start and LA was one those.
I gotta say, kudos to the lady. Instead of making Dukowski look like an agressive little idiot, she gives him the opportunity to come across as the calm, intelligent young man that he is. The cops must have gotten real mad if they watched it on TV in their nice homes.
hysterical tv stuff. back then crap like this was the only glimpse for east coast to see what west coast was up to, unless you went to check it out for yourself. if you lived in a town, it might have been the only indication there were *others* out there.
Just saw Keith Chuck Bill Steve from the Decedents last night, played the first 4 years like it was 78-82 and fucking smashed it I'm privileged to have seen them. After all these years I was too young to have seen Black Flag and now I've proven my bars pnd
Most punk bands never made alot of money nor play on mtv.They were down to earth people.The kids today don't understand what punk was in the 80's-70's...they never lived it.
haha i saw your comment on a misfits video the one where glenn was playing green hell vampira and something else and you were like i remember this show thanks for the memories bro
I just played with the sextet on KXLU a couple weeks ago. Man, has he changed from his punk days. He's such a corney dad now, bad jokes and all. It's so funny to see him with a mohawk too.
i used to live in pedro way back when, 78, on 11th and center st., yea in the hood, sunday morning i could count the pickets missing from my fence to see how well saturday night went. look to see any bullet holes were in my car." those were the day's my friend ,thought they'd never end" now 2009 we're still looking for change. funny how the pendulum swings , back and forth and back and forth ...... what have we learned ?
chuck is right on! I can't beleieve this is the same guy who is in the misfits. Black flag needs to reunite with keith morris. Also, I have been to dozens of hardcore punk shows and only a hand full of hiphop clubs and their is so much more violence at the clubs. punk is a huge misconception!!!
Yeah, but I feel the music now is very unappreciated, just because it's so easy to get. I remember when I was a kid, me and a few of my friends, used to listen to the shit out of the albums we had, used to swap discs, stuff like that. But I guess there's a good side to it, seeing how Internet made it easy to download albums. I guess more people will make music because they really want to, and not because of the money.
well,i just listen as well as play the music. and i dont rebel against anything for the simple fact that where i live and the time i live in if i did that everyone would think im a terrorist. plus im scared to rebel against my family. sorry im not punk enough for everyone.
How old are you? I'm 33. I know so many people who thought drugs were cool, who wish they hadn't taken them now. I just always thought they seemed so expensive and uneconomical, not to mention bad for my health.
You must be 44 now jesus. And here I am a 18 year old who's just decided this year black flags my favorite band followed by my highschool favorite the doors
That's what I was wondering: why Rona Barrett? She was a gossip columnist, the one about whom Sinatra said, "When Rona Barrett was born, her doctor slapped her mother."
Being punk is just being your fucking self and not following anyone else's bullshit. There is no real definition of being punk it is only a title. Just and do your own thing, no matter what anyone thinks and says!!!
This is absurd punks are not just people, their sort of a race of rock and roll lovers, its like telling christians not to go to church, or muslims not to pray 5 times a day or jews to have a barmitsfa this is absurd!!!!!
Nice to see some responsible youngsters adhering to the given rights of a State declared to be one of Liberty, seen as distinct from oppression driven by aristocratic forces constituted from venal attitude and facile servitude to holier than thou Establishment certainties. The focus on violence was of course stupid and hypocritical.
@StalkandStrike Yeah you cant find bands like Black Flag or This Misfits now a days....now Green Day is punk.....fuck even the 90 had better punk then now a days
the general feeling of the old shows just switched genres try death metal or thrash THe black dahlia murder has great shows but vocals aren't for everyone

His thoughts and feelings are as true today as they ever were...LONG LIVE BLACK FLAG!
Punk became the norm in the late 8o's and that is what killed it.Noone can go back to the 80's and 70's and understand what punk was about...

Yep, Hermosa Beach is the shit! Fishing from the pier for Halibut was a blast in the early days. Kind of strange isn't it? See you soon, bro!
This is a great document and punks today have it way to easy.So what happined to chuck?He was a great spokesman.
Most punk bands never made alot of money nor play on mtv.They were down to earth people.The kids today don't understand what punk was in the 80's-70's...they never lived it.
"they refused to close up, they refused to quit the music" 2:24
haha i saw your comment on a misfits video the one where glenn was playing green hell vampira and something else and you were like i remember this show thanks for the memories bro
bravo, i agree with you . most on here are ill informed but its reassuring to know their are more people like you.
Daaamn 14 years ago
thats chuck dukowski. the bassist for black flag
I just played with the sextet on KXLU a couple weeks ago. Man, has he changed from his punk days. He's such a corney dad now, bad jokes and all. It's so funny to see him with a mohawk too.
Oh how I love you black flag.
i used to live in pedro way back when, 78, on 11th and center st., yea in the hood, sunday morning i could count the pickets missing from my fence to see how well saturday night went. look to see any bullet holes were in my car." those were the day's my friend ,thought they'd never end" now 2009 we're still looking for change. funny how the pendulum swings , back and forth and back and forth ...... what have we learned ?
black flag are the fucking gods of punk man this video is so rad
Fuckin right??
Right down the street from my old house. Now its a subway station
You're right.
freakin amazing summary of those kids.
was that jello biafra in the beginning
What riot was this?? I was in a shitloads of riots back then. Polish Hall, Bards Apollo, Whiskey, SIR Studios.
hahaha is there a standard protocol for how to act when you are in 1981 and a bottle hits your head? good video. interviewer lady cracks me up.
best ending line
can you post the whole seg?
yea i know that. I didnt think Flag were from Hermosa. But oh well.
haha yeah he made some pretty composed arguments there.
exactly what I was thinking.
chuck is right on! I can't beleieve this is the same guy who is in the misfits. Black flag needs to reunite with keith morris. Also, I have been to dozens of hardcore punk shows and only a hand full of hiphop clubs and their is so much more violence at the clubs. punk is a huge misconception!!!
Ladies and Gentlemen...Chuck Dukowski's eyebrows.
Man, the fuzz were always hounding the Flag.
Watching 'em too.
Chuck looks like Travis Bickle.
I remember when that happened. Is that Rona Barett giving the interview? I bet she was so scared she shite her unders!
You just dont go to the right shows or venues. there is great underground hardcore in every single state. you just arent looking.
Yeah, but I feel the music now is very unappreciated, just because it's so easy to get. I remember when I was a kid, me and a few of my friends, used to listen to the shit out of the albums we had, used to swap discs, stuff like that.
But I guess there's a good side to it, seeing how Internet made it easy to download albums. I guess more people will make music because they really want to, and not because of the money.
Who's Daphne and why is it when she talks the video screws up?
well,i just listen as well as play the music. and i dont rebel against anything for the simple fact that where i live and the time i live in if i did that everyone would think im a terrorist. plus im scared to rebel against my family. sorry im not punk enough for everyone.

No, that's Chuck for sure.
That's what I was wondering: why Rona Barrett? She was a gossip columnist, the one about whom Sinatra said, "When Rona Barrett was born, her doctor slapped her mother."
let me think, he has three a believe. two daughters i think and a son, but two step children as well, so technically five.
Hermosa Beach??......Im lost lady! Oh well.......BLACK FLLLAAAGGG!!!!!
Being punk is just being your fucking self and not following anyone else's bullshit. There is no real definition of being punk it is only a title.
Just and do your own thing, no matter what anyone thinks and says!!!
oh yeah, thats real original
Dez!
@punkkilledhippie well said
The funny part is punk's usually ,ARE, rebelling against the type of people who become police. Shallow close minded judgemental kinds of people
Hahahahaha, that's funny.
when was mainstream shit ever good
shes only doing her job. you cant blame someone whos only looking for info. im not a fan of the media .i was a punk rocker at one time.
This is absurd punks are not just people, their sort of a race of rock and roll lovers, its like telling christians not to go to church, or muslims not to pray 5 times a day or jews to have a barmitsfa this is absurd!!!!!
They're the core rocknrollers, punk rock is the core of rocknroll
hahaha this is fucking sweet
not us in Oakland Compton Inglewood south central richmond antioch and the rest of THE BAY
3:09 aahhhh mob of cops
Nice to see some responsible youngsters adhering to the given rights of a State declared to be one of Liberty, seen as distinct from oppression driven by aristocratic forces constituted from venal attitude and facile servitude to holier than thou Establishment certainties.

This was a far peice of work by ronna Barret. But we did suffer from crap like Chips,Quincy,Class of 1984 movie.
Yeah, he's got like five kids, right?
Yeah, it was a wall of fucking noise. SM Civic was the worst place to see shows. The whole place was like an echo chamber.
real punk is
@StalkandStrike Yeah you cant find bands like Black Flag or This Misfits now a days....now Green Day is punk.....fuck even the 90 had better punk then now a days
lol I guess what Beth had to say wasn't important.
If any "Punk" band sells out or goes mainstream they would the become Pop , look at Ramones or Iggy Pop.
The Ramones never experienced mainstream success what are you talking about
Ramones never sold out
what the fuck are you even talking about punk selling out mainstream and with your subscriptions
the general feeling of the old shows just switched genres
try death metal or thrash
THe black dahlia murder has great shows but vocals aren't for everyone
No, quite the opposite.
How anyone can tie this band or any member to neo nazi`s is beyond me. The band is pretty liberal or libretarian as a whole.
@kcyclean1 I call BS
wow boo fucking hoo, welcome to the real world!
