crushing '82 live of Black flag (rollins/ biscuits)...
Let's dwell a bit on this monster lineup. The dual guitars of Greg Ginn and Dez Cadena are truly the way Black Flag was meant to be. Anyone who knows Greg Ginn's work knows this guy was the master of atonal noise, lightening fast riffs and bizarre guitar leads. He doesn't disappoint here. 2nd guitarist Dez Cadena provides the perfect rhythm guitar for Ginn to lead over. The twin guitar assault wall of sound was perfect for Black Flag. I always wondered why Black Flag did not recruit another guitarist after Dez left the band.
Chuck Dukowski's distorted bass sounds meaner than anything I've ever heard. It's perfect. Chuck Biscuits (who later drummed in another favorite band of mine, Danzig) drums on this and was truly Black Flag's greatest drummer. He's fast and hard hitting here. The perfect compliment to Dukowski's bass playing. Probably the best rhythm section in punk rock. And I don't care what anyone says, Rollins was the best singer in Black Flag.
The set features a wide array of songs including stuff that would not be officially released on albums until a few years down the road. The versions of "Scream" and "Modern Man" annihilate the versions that ended up being recorded with a totally different line up years later. The band also does plenty of pre-Rollins material which is really cool to hear with Hank on vocals. Damaged-era material is also obviously found on here as well as live versions of the b-sides from the TV Party 7" which is a pleasant surprise.
How does this compare with other live Black Flag releases? Well, this is way better than the atrocious "Who's Got The 10 1/2" live album. The "Live In 84" albums is great and also a must have but I got to say this tops even that. Kira and Bill were awesome on bass and drums but they just weren't as good as the rhythm section of Chuck "The Duke" Dukowski and Chuck Biscuits.
A few things to take note of:
-"No Martyrs" is better known to Black Flag fan's as the song "Yes I Know" of which there is no official studio recording. Many fans know it from the excellent 1982 demos bootleg which contains a great studio version of the track.
-"My Life" is actually the song "Damaged I".
-Dez's guitar can be a little low in the mix sometimes which is pretty much the only complaint I have about this otherwise magnificent release
-The version of "Depression" from the first show is pretty bad but the version of it from the 2nd show is perfect.
-Last, but not least, this is the greatest live album from Black Flag!

GUTTERMOUTH: puke '91 ep
http://www.mediafire.com/?zgtz24vpkj7qfrx
Guttermouth is an American punk rock band formed in 1988 in Huntington Beach, California and currently recording for Hopeless Records. They have released nine full-length studio albums and two live albums and have toured extensively, including performances on the Vans Warped Tour. They are infamous for their outrageous lyrics and behavior which are deliberately explicit, offensive and intended to shock, though usually in a humorous and sarcastic manner. This behavior has sometimes resulted in high-profile problems for the band, such as being banned from performing in Canada for eighteen months and leaving the 2004 Warped Tour amidst controversy over their political views and attitudes towards other performers. Puke is the debut EP, released in 1991 by Dr. Strange Records. It is currently out of print, however all of the tracks were re-issued on the CD re-release of the band's debut album Full Length LP a year later.

CH3: manzanar (1982)
Manzanar Lyrics
You bitch and moan about the Holocaust
A drastic crime in the modern day
Where were you in World War Two
Were you proud of the American Way
Adolph really caught your eye
Ain't it fun to knock the Warsaw Zone
But you turned the other way
When we screwed some of our very own
Manzanar Concentration Camp
It wasn't in a country so far
Manzanar
In fact in your own backyard
Your arm bears a swastika
So vouge in this anger hype
You wanna be fucking cruel
Why don't you wear the stars and stripes
Pearl H. really shook you up
Too close to you and mom
A drastic crime in the modern day
Where were you in World War Two
Were you proud of the American Way
Adolph really caught your eye
Ain't it fun to knock the Warsaw Zone
But you turned the other way
When we screwed some of our very own
Manzanar Concentration Camp
It wasn't in a country so far
Manzanar
In fact in your own backyard
Your arm bears a swastika
So vouge in this anger hype
You wanna be fucking cruel
Why don't you wear the stars and stripes
Pearl H. really shook you up
Too close to you and mom
You had to show your real strength
You had to drop A fucking Bomb
Manzanar Concentration Camp
It wasn't in a country so far
Manzanar
In fact in your own backyard
You had to drop A fucking Bomb
Manzanar Concentration Camp
It wasn't in a country so far
Manzanar
In fact in your own backyard

RF7: fall in 12''
http://www.mediafire.com/?0xx5uzxc7j9s282
Here is the wonderful RF7 'Fall In' 12" from 1982.
"RF7 was formed in 1979, in Simi Valley California. They first appeared on vinyl on the much-acclaimed compilation "Public Service." "Public Service" also included the first recordings from Bad Religion and Circle One, as well as songs from pre-teen veterans Redd Kross. Over twenty thousand copies of "Public Service" were sold, and this gave RF7 much exposure and credibility through association. A following friendship with Redd Kross helped RF7 obtain key bookings with The Circle Jerks, The Chiefs, Fear, The Dead Kennedy's and more. They were also able to record their own first album, "Weight of the World," which lead to touring outside of the LA area."
I think this is the record where the band sounds the best. The two before it are also good, but this one has the speed and power which, to me, makes it the most memorable one. This band is still around today, releasing records and playing shows.
