- Still digitizing my videos, some already deteriorating. Here's a clip from a Circle One show I shot a few short days before John was shot and killed by the police in Santa Monica...Sad day

We were beyond lucky to play with Circle One at this show. RIP John.
Wow, these guys have made my most favourite hardcore album. Respect to you and all of your family.
Whoa cool who's 'we'?
gem of video actually sound not bad considering the settings. a rare and honest window into LA punk culture
The spirit of John Macias lives on in everyone in the crowd and on stage at every CIRCLE ONE show. I believe I have the flyer from this show if it was at Spankys...
Never heard of him or his band until I heard the ROLLINS clip about him from one of his spoken word shows. He sounded like a helluva character! I hated to hear the circumstances surrounding his death. Very sad!! R.I.P.
I've liked everything I've heard from CIRCLE ONE so far. I'll keep listening
Everyone can achieve forgiveness at the end when our souls move on. John was a good guy at his core.
Then you don't know hardcore -punk music.....!!!!!
Thanks so much for sharing
Entering 2021 listening to John and his band punk will never die
My old band Non Tolerance was direct support for Circle One at that show.
What year was this show?
@@mirapilates Had to be 1990.
He really looks like a psycho. That ‘stache! Rest in peace!
been a fan for years. one of the scariest lead singers of all time. his voice sounds much nicer than he looks
R.I.P
I read an article about his death recently, kind of hit home. They concluded the article so well, describing the man as a helpful peacemaker that would protect others and promote unity. Last thing that was said that hit home was "I'm sorry no one was there to protect you". My fiancee is schizoaffective, I feel for this man not having someone or something around to ground him if(and likely was) he was having an episode. I wish I was old enough to have met him.
A peace maker does not use violence to enforce peace. This is fascist. he started instituting the bible in his music. Look up his song the gospel. I think cops need to die. But not in the name of god. I pity john. As I struggle with my mental health as well, and that's a fucked up hole to dig your self out of. This whole thing with John fascinates me to be honest. That may have been me if I was born in east LA in 1960. Jesus fuck the American mental health care system is a joke now, I couldn't even contomplate the fucked up psych drugs they used. Makes fucking seroquel look like harmless little smarties with little to massive side effects. And shock therapy. Fuck. John was put through hell to say the least. may he rest in peace. Or pieces. Whichever he deserves I guess. I still hate violence. (as long as it's not a cop!)
@Mary Burdette well, honestly fair enough because I've done some dickish things on a bipolar mood swing that I would later regret, and the American mental health care System in its self is a joke. So taking this into consideration that is a fair point. I would never want to have to have hallucinations that scare me. He was only human I guess. Everybody tries to idolize him. Demonize him. But really he was just another person like everybody else.
@Timothy Wells hey, it admittedly I am kind of a pussy when it comes to violence. I feel that it is a vicious cycle that will only repeat itself. I believe in self-defense sure. What's wrong with pussy, you are what you eat. I don't know John, so at the end of the day I don't know. I am merely just fascinated by the story.
@Shtabbi Chann just got out of rehab sweetheart haha
Dude I read the same article!!!
R.I.P. JOHN
Drugs and anger took away alot of the punk pioneers too early, sad.
drugs and anger didnt take john, heard he had chemical imbalance that made him lose it sometimes, he did some shit and the cops killed him
@@carriedairy those were obscure moments in that era, could be possible??
He got mental issues and stopped taking meds,he got psychotic and was killed by cops
@@humachine5226 Henry Rollins said it himself that's what happened to him, too. John lost it one day after a series of annoyances, the cop that arrived on the scene got scared and shot and killed him
And Michael Vallejo on guitar!
r.i.p. John Macias
I remember seeing them play at Devonshire downs ...johnny cat stole his mile in the middle of a song....good times.1981-82
curiosity sake is there any chance you have more circle one footage?
Rest eternally Big John, He was taken too young.
Crazy. Fucking Awesome!
I remember seeing them @ show in Long Beach Fenders Ballroom, bought the album right away for 5 bux
I was at this show and I spent a long time talking with John, agreeing to make the record that should have been recorded at least 10 years previously. I was very excited at the prospect.
I went as Youth Gone Mad were on the bill and Ena Kostabi had become my best friend by this time.
Incredibly, The Offspring were also on the bill and Dexter wanted to talk with me all night, or so it seemed. I just wasn't impressed at this point with them.
Strangely, I was never threatened by John. He should have been more than a footnote.
What was your record label?
@@pogoramone This is funny.
His fashion toned down from what I heard about him. What brand of jeans were those? Levis?
What’s the song called? it’s very catchy
Plastic life can be found on the patterns of force album
was this at the three palms in hacienda heights?
It's Spanky's Cafe in Riverside. Was there another after this? Maybe I had it wrong and this is the second to last show. I think he died 6 days after this show or something like that. I'll have to ask Mike and edit the info!
Damn. You know about Three Trees?
man he was one badass mf
Wow this is the guy Henry Rollins was talking about. He was the equalizer of the scene apparently. Stood up to a cop in a diner once.
*That's the Freddy Mercury version that will beat the sh1t out of you !*
one hell of a rock and roll Gangster.
One of these most hardcore Christians ever.
The Circle Ones with warpaint scaring all other punk Cholos Gangs. 😢
There was a Spanish saint name john macias this poor guy should be made a patron saint of something also
Damn! With those arms it’s a wonder no one fucked with John!
These guys had a rhythm section even the military couldn’t fuck with.
Was this guy Spanish or mixed.
