Hardcore Mid-Life Crisis: Black Flag - "Down In The Dirt" (FLAG Dissing Note)
Forget about aging gracefully; Life-time Punk Rockers Greg Ginn, Ron Reyes, Gregory Moore, and
While I'm sure they'll arguably sound better live, this is pretty ungodly terrible; I initially felt bad for Henry Rollins because he was seemingly left out, but maybe he's really the one who ended up coming out on top!? Although I must admit, Greg Ginn's infamous guitar work is still pretty on point and ear-piercing after all these years! DIY Punk fans with a slightly Indie Rock-leaning appetite should check out Dirty Projectors master-mind Dave Longstreth's full-album Damaged re-make, Rise Above (2007), which he supposedly recorded straight from memory after not spinning the album for nearly 10-15 years. Until these guys decide to bury the hatchet and just head out on a co-headlining Black Flag/FLAG mega-tour together, you'll have to look up separate tour [festival] dates, if you wanna see Keith Morris' version, FLAG. He's taking some much-needed time off from Hardcore super-group OFF! to actively rival Blag Flag along with former bandmates Chuck Dukowski, Dez Cadena, Bill Stevenson, and Stephen Egerton (Descendents).
