Speaking of SoCal Punk the band Offspring ripped off - I heard on on the radio tonight and forgot how amazing they are!

I saw Suicidal Tendencies when their first album came out - so so so good!

Raise your hand if you think the Repo Man soundtrack just plain kicked ass.

I used to work with RJ Herrera (drummer from 1984 to 1991). Super cool dude. He said he left cause Muir was taking them in a more commercial direction and that management considered it Muir's band and he could overide any band decisions on his own.

It doesn't get any more old school than the Screamers:

I believe it. I don't know if it was commercial but he definitely went metal and left whatever you want to call the first album behind.

I also heard Muir re-recorded the first album in its entirety?

12. I came home from lacrosse practice - got on a bus in the burbs and ended up in the city without a ride home. I thought it was exciting at the time.

All the punk clubs were 21+ up here (Seattle's always been very provincial about all-ages shows). I missed seeing local punk legends like the Fastbacks, theFartz, the U-Men & 10-Minute Warning.
