I posted this in the Vegas thread but that doesn't get much use. This years lineup looks pretty good so far and they are still going to add another handful of shows.

Cool that they got Bill Stevenson playing with Flag, but dammit, it's not Black Flag without Ginn. And honestly, they're going to ignore a vast majority of Black Flag's music, including some of the best work they did (the My War/In My Head/Slip It In tracks). I'm super glad that they're doing stuff again because that music should not be ignored, I just wish there was a way to get the real band together again.

Best would be the 1982 lineup playing again, with Rollins, Dez Cadena and Greg Ginn on guitars, Dukowski on bass and Chuck Biscuits on drums. They never released anything, but the demos from that period confirm that was the best Black Flag that ever existed.

I am not going pay $105+boarding+travel to see 13 minutes of black flag musix performed live.I could careless about the other bands and i really do not like bowling.......fuck bowling

[stinkbutt]

gb have you ever listened to DRI? They seem right up your alley

[getbetter]

I will check them out tonight .Thanks!

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

Hmmmm this is super tempting actually. Great line up overall. I wonder if all the other bands to fill up the whole three days will be total garbage.

[getbetter]

D.R.I. were a great listen I would LOVE to hear Five Year Plan live.

[bmack86]

Dude, you'd probably also like a ton of the Damned's work. They were all over the place and lots of it was really great. Try Machine Gun Etiquette.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

Yep, the Damned were one of my favorite bands for a while. Subhumans should really be listened to as well.

Greg is doing this instead....

Black Flag guitarist Greg Ginn and professional skateboarder Mike Vallely have formed a new band called Good For You. Their debut album, Life is Too Short to Not Hold a Grudge, will be released on February 26th via SST Records. Listen to one of the tracks, "Hanging Around," here: https://soundcloud.com/goodforyou-1/hanging-around

Still not black flag

SUbhumans are awesome live! I never really listened to them much but my gf wanted to see them. Went to thee parkside in sf to check them out and holy crap they were sooo much fun.

[stinkbutt]

I have never actually listened to the Subhumans because I always see that patch on every single crust vest that rolls through town

Exactly.

[gaypalmsprings]

I hate bowling.

[Ardentbiscuit]

This looks pretty good to me, I was reading about the bowling, seems like too much hassle, I would just go for the music.

[Devin the Dude]

Subhumans should really be listened to as well.

Incorrect!

[bmack86]

If the board has taught me anything, it's to not listen to Devin when he says a band is not worth listening to.

[Tubesock Shakur]

Bowling is fucking fantastic highlighted with punk music is awesome. If it was in my city I would do this in a second.

[SoulDischarge]

Subhumans were a ton of fun when I saw them as a teenager. I haven't listened to them in many many years and even then not very extensively but they're definitely better than most of the bands you see filling up Hot Topic issued leather jackets.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

Subhumans are certainly more deserving than the dreck that is The Casualties.

Added some bands I will definatley be there this year, itll be my first time in vega... still holding out hope bronx get added

[bmack86]

Damn, that got a lot better with the additions. Devo and the Weirdos? Yes please.

[rage patton]

Holy shit. This line up is actually pretty damn great. Bellingham usually has insanely cheap flights to Vegas too... I am tempted by this.

[bmack86]

I'll admit, I'm pretty damn tempted. There are some incredibly cheap hotels in Vegas too, so it could be very doable.

[gillster17]

If any boardies go let me know would love to chill with some like minded punkers in vegas... Pretty sure me and the lady are staying at the flamingo!

[rage patton]

Is this on the strip? Or elsewhere in Vegas? Im not sure what counts as "Downtown Las Vegas."

[GuyInTucson]

Wow, I haven't even thought about the Subhumans in years.

[TOOLRAGE]

Count me in as well..

[Tubesock Shakur]

Damn, that got a lot better with the additions. Devo and the Weirdos? Yes please.

4 reals sounds fun......
