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
gb have you ever listened to DRI? They seem right up your alley
DREAM BIGGER
I will check them out tonight .Thanks!
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.

D.R.I. were a great listen I would LOVE to hear Five Year Plan live.
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.
I have never actually listened to the Subhumans because I always see that patch on every single crust vest that rolls through town

I hate bowling.
This looks pretty good to me, I was reading about the bowling, seems like too much hassle, I would just go for the music.
Bowling is fucking fantastic highlighted with punk music is awesome. If it was in my city I would do this in a second.
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.
Subhumans are certainly more deserving than the dreck that is The Casualties.
