"Old Men Yell on Stage" would be a more appropriate headline.

Man, I'm actually contemplating the Marc Train to B'mo but don't think it'll get me back to DC afterwards. Grrrrr. Who are you going there with

Everyone knows that OFF! sounds more like early period Circle Jerks than early period Black Flag. Now I haven't really heard a lot of Flag, but my guess is they sound more like early-mid period Black Flag than early-mid period Circle Jerks. Flag probably has some pf Swa's bass sound mixed in there too.

So let me get this straight? Milo drove down from DE to sang "Damaged" (which one?)? I hope he makes it to the show here tomorrow night!

Should have clarified. I meant more in terms of him saying "old dudes screaming on a stage".

OFF! = old men screaming new songs
Flag = old men screaming old songs
I'm not above attending the odd reunion show so I can hold it over the heads of those who could not attend, but the whole 50 year old dudes reliving their hardcore youth thing is pretty unseemly.

I forgot you hate the spirit of punk rock. I bet you can't wait for the next Stones tour.

I forgot you confuse punk rock with Logan's Run.

Maybe target can set up a meeting with the guys from Red Hare and they can explain punk rock to you.

That'd be awesome. After they're done, maybe Jason can show me his video of Flag at the Moose Lodge.

this is the only place on the internet where i have seen people say they like new dys.
i guess at this point i have no real take on the legitimacy of reunions or not, esp for punks. i just assume 99 percent of them are in it for the money they couldn't get the first time around. if you show up with some guys that wrote the music and the original singer and can play, i will probably fork over my money to see you. as touring gets harder and inflated guarantees continue to be the new trend, i have faced the fact that i will prolly miss most of the reunited bands i really want to see since they only play select cities or one off festivals like chaos or MDF. i mean, FLAG are touring the east coast before they ever did an L.A. show, and that date is at FYF fest.

As for a lot of the punk rock reunions just being in it for the money, I disagree. Sure - some are able to draw big crowds, pull in the young kids, and probably do well. But I've seen plenty of aging punk rockers and reunion acts play to very small crowds and empty-ish clubs. If they're just in it for the money, there are better ways to do it. Break even, or maybe take home a little, but I think very few bands are turning it into a really profitable cashgrab. To me it looks like a lot of folks just want to get up and play, and the money is secondary motivation.
Sure - that's
