@@RahduDrahkqul75 he was a brat for sure. That was a strange time....with hardcore coming in from suburbs and bleeding into the Hollywood art punk scenes, there was a huge divide.

I wasnt around, but bands like X, The Screamers talk about how awful both Pat and Darby were in that time. The funny thing is Pat is genuine and incredibly kind now.

Pat was probably born with a smile on his face.
And a cigarette in his mouth
Pat was already a rock icon pre-nirvana. Imagine doing rockstar interview in black n white film, you mustve a legend
This is stylized lol. Color film existed long before this interview. Having typed that, Im almost certain that youre just joking

One tends to mellow out as an adult. And as of 2021, Smear is probably close to 62 years old.
