I saw the 2nd-to-last date of this tour, at the Nectarine Ballroom in Ann Arbor, MI, June 26th 1986. Before the show, I stood in line behind C'el at the Burger King around the corner from the club. I don't remember what he ordered, but I think I just had a large unsweetened iced tea and a small order of fries.
I don't have a Black flag tattoo, but I agree Kira was their best bassist.

She's got the 10 1/2!
Just chiming in to say whenever that era comes up that Who's Got the 10 1/2? is one of my favorite live albums ever; it's just the best.

It's one of two albums (the other being Give Me Convenience or Give Me Death) that at 15/16, really got me heavily into hardcore/punk. I still get all sorts of feels whenever I hear it. I don't even have a copy at the moment, though. I wish the vinyl wasn't missing songs and had been pressed as a double, but what can you do? It's very much a cassette album for me, though.

Their cover of "Seasons of Wither" + the Necros Tangled Up made me re-consider/fall in love with 70s Aerosmith.

You should have seen them on the “My War” Tour, Mudge. Fortunately, you can read my scintillating account of the Philly show in the new, NYT best-selling book “Where the Wild Gigs Were.”

Most people think “Love in an Elevator” or “Janie’s got a Gun” rather than “Dream On” or “Sweet Emotion” when they think of Aerosmith these days. The 80s/90s stuff isn’t bad as radio and MTV friendly pop, but it’s pretty damn silly and not anywhere near as good as their initial run.

Yeah, probably the cassette/album I listened to the most when I was a kid too.... I wish i still had it... I still have some of my old cassettes, but I bum out when i think of how many just got lost/eaten by my tape deck/fucked up over the years. People shit on cassettes these days - and even back then as well - but they were the main medium through which I first experienced most of the bands of that era.

Honestly, all I’ve heard from the later stuff is the hits, so the album tracks might be better than I’m giving them credit for…

'70s Aerosmith is great, of course, but yeah I definitely would. BF (any era) means way more to me personally. Mid '80s Necros, though, oof.

I like Aerosmith up to 1979. But calling them better than 80's Black Flag is myopic and just plain silly.

I just picked up the vinyl a couple of years back. Hadn't heard it since my cassette copy from high school. I didn't realize there were missing tracks. Just cross-referenced on Discogs. I'll be damned

On the contrary, I think they were one of the better hardcore/punk bands to try that style. I think most were awful at it, tbh.

I always thought hey were really good at channeling 70s metal like Black Sabbath & Deep Purple into their sound on stuff like "Modern Man" and so forth, but much less successful at their supposed attempt(s) at King Crimson-type prog rock & free jazz on Process/In My Head.

I had better things to do than sit around and fuck my head or hang out with the living dead. I didn't snort white shit up my nose or pass out at the shows. I didn't even think about speed. I just didn't need it. I didn't sit around and smoke dope because I knew could cope. I laughed at the thoughts of both eating quaaludes and sniffing glue. I stayed in touch. I did however use a crutch, when I broke my big toe.
