I went to Austin 2 weeks ago from Dallas & Black Flag was already into their 5th song. I was late, damnit & was so pissed off at myself that I was like "I'm gonna go to their show in El Paso tomorrow night!" Just a short 8 hour drive. West Texas with it's mountains & desert is awesome & beautiful, and once again Black Flag left me longing for more. So I'll go to their Lubbock, TX gig Sat. 4/29.

    As a follower of punk music since the late 70's and early 80’s, I think the lyrics from the album Group Sex (Circle Jerks) are ironic when seeing this video. Live Fast Die Young (written by members of the band) nears its end with Keith signing “I don't wanna live to be fifty seven”. Thank goodness he did live to that age and start this outstanding group. This 52 year old man loves Flag and especially “My War”. In my opinion, the best version of the original Black Flag song I have ever heard.

      @@quintinout He's a skater. He's a pretty good vocalist for Mike V and The Rats.
      IMO that 2013 Black Flag album sucked because the recording was totally FUUUUCKED.
