Started in 1976 (77) by mastermind Greg Ginn. The band name was originally Panic but changed that because they didn't want confusion with another band called Panic. The band came about with Greg Ginn on guitar, Keith Morris on vocals, Chuck Dukowsk on bass, and ROBO on drums. Morris was involved with cocaine and speed which would lead to his departure, he then went on to front the Circle Jerks. The next singer would be brief, but classic. Chavo (Ron Reyes) was in Black Flag for a very short time, but he is featured with Black Flag in the film The Decline of Western Civilization. After Chavo was gone the group picked up Dez Cadena. Dez stuck with the group until 81, when he decided he wanted to play rhythm guitar rather than sing. That is considered the end to the classic Black Flag era. Rollins joined, and they did the classic album Damaged which would become a punk and hardcore classic. They went on to record My War, Slip It In, Family Man, Loose Nut, and In My Head. Black Flag are essential for punk and hardcore fans. They did everything their way, and they got fucked by record companies because of it. - Douche Bag « hide |
