Black Flag

Black Flag (aka Ginn/Reyes) have added ANOTHER show at Warsaw on June 15, one day after their previously discussed show at the same venue which is now sold-out. Tickets for the just-added show go on sale at 10AM tomorrow (3/2).

So far no word on that threatened "US tour," but we'll keep you posted. Meanhwile, FLAG, the other Black Flag lineup, was recently announced as part of Orion 2013 as well as Punk Rock Bowling.

I feel sorry for the suckers who actually bought tickets to this. This Black Flag/Flag fiasco is some L.A. Guns type of shit. Embarrassing.

If you saw the film The Other F Word you would know that Ron Reyes is a fat old Mexican now

He got fat and also Mexican? Weird. This show probably won't be good but I might try to get a ticket anyway.

Fat, Mexican and a six pack of Jesus juice

this is going to be the cringe worthy live show of 2013

their artwork and image was always more compelling than their live performance/albums. overrated as shit. keith took all the talent and potential with him to the circle jerks.

johnny bob goldstein is the opposite of talent and potential. What have you been listening to? It's not Black Flag or the Circle Jerks, if you post a comment like that 9:34. This is supposed to be punk rock not a symphony orchestra. People want to beat each other up on the dance floor and get messed up and act crazy, wear leather jackets with spikes and have green hair. Not sitting around on psych meds, watching sex in the city, discussing fine wine and architecture. I hope a gang of rebellious people spray paint your house and get your family members to pull a train. Everyone would be better off than how you make the world.

not anymore grandpa 11:05, punk is actually dead and the punx would still rather go to shows with kids their age/attitude. thats what katorga works and $10 shows cater to. the black flags reunion is specifically pandering to grandpas like you who will shell out the bucks to fill in the warsaw and watch a bunch of boring jerks blaming their lack of interest on "punk". everyone knows nowadays it is more punk to have musical talent displayed on a series of well-produced releases than to try to convince everyone its 1977 forever.

side b of my war only cause black flag SUCKS

offending people just for having long hair and a receding hairline is more punk than your vegan social justice warrior college boy raw punk fashion show iphone filmed shows
a fifty year old with a guitar he never learned how to play properly that pursues 18 year old groupies is more punk than a support group that calls itself a scene
of course black flag sucks, you want pat metheny with gauges and sleeves and a blog about cupcakes
boring jerks with blaming agendas sounds like straight edge and metal not punks who want to laugh and watch the end of the world what is the point of blaming anyone?

Yea, Keith took all the potential and talent and that's why he can't get off Ginn's nuts and OFF has been rewriting the same 4 Black Flag songs since they formed.

Also this reunion is maybe the worst thing I've ever heard of.

1:52 - Maybe because it was 2am in the morning and you were plenty wasted but buddy...no one can understand a word you're babbling. Try punctuation...capitalization...anything.

For the record, I don't actually have guages.

I'm confused by the comments above.. Can someone explain how Ron Reyes became Mexican? I can understand him getting fat.. But changing nationality? How's that happen? Or are you people just stupid?

Posted by Anonymous | March 2, 2013 2:17 PM

black flag's legend has far exceeded its talent. period. i've seen them live several times. if they sounded like shit at their height, how do you suppose they'll sound almost 30 years after said peak? circle jerks were always a better live performer. two words for you: chuck biscuits. and to compare greg ginn to greg hetson is just silliness.

what are you, some kind of troublemaker? you looking for trouble, friend?

Posted by Anonymous | March 2, 2013 2:24 PM

"Or are you people just stupid?"

Is that rhetorical? Do you even have to ask that question after reading the comments from the 2 morons throughout the night. Or how about the one from the obvious mensa candidate at 1:56 today.

Thank all that is good that we still have 2:29 to bring us discernment and wisdom. Were it not for her, we would be left like a ship without a mooring.

Please tell us more 2:29! We all need to benefit from your great intelligence and insight!

1:00 apparently you aren't cool enough to know that there's an all-gay Black Flag tribute band called Black Fag

2:34, spend less time looking through the dictionary for big words and more time trying not to be such a moron.

Posted by Anonymous | March 2, 2013 3:57 PM

Just an FYI. Exactly zero members of Black Fag are gay. Doesn't matter as they are still awesome.

4:50 raises the question; when did Greg Ginn and Chavo Pederast make up?

I didn't post anything else on this story, btw.

Dez called Rollins in D.C. while the band had several days off in NYC. Several days earlier Henry had jumped on stage to sing a song with the band at a show. He was asked if he wanted to "jam" with the band. Suspecting they were trying him out, Rollins went up to NYC. He tried out, the band talked it over, offered him the slot, and Rollins accepted. He joined them on tour several days later.

Paper as we know it, was invented in China, AD 105, by the Chinese Eunuch Ts'ai Lun. It was, thin, feted, formed, flat made in porous molds from macerated vegetable fiber. (Hunter 1943,4) Before the 3rd century AD, the first paper was made of disintegrating cloth- bark of trees and vegetation such as mulberry, hemp, china grass (Hunter 1943,56)Paper was used in China from AD 868, for engraving religious pictures and reached its height of in 1634 with the wooden block prints made popular by Sung Ying-hsing.
The technology of making paper moved from China to Japan and then to Korea in AD 610 where it was commonly made from mulberry bark and Gampi. Later it was made from bamboo and rice straw. (Hunter 1943,59)

@1:59, um, so that's why they sold out Warsaw, right?

Posted by Anonymous | March 3, 2013 11:17 PM

Warsaw is just a club, not an arena. don't act like black flag/flag are on par with thee read hott chilly poopers. i love(d) black flag, but i would NEVER, EVER go see them in any way, shape or form. we all know that 99.9% of all reunions are so terrible that one usually says "what was i thinking" after the last note.
