They were the most punk punk band. Darby died his hair blue as an experiment, the whole hardcore scene was basically a generic version of the germs who may play hardcore, but it's straightforward punk and predates hardcore
They still heavily influence LA punk bands, swear every backyard gig in East LA you see the blue circle patches on every jacket, you hear Pat Smear’s guitar in every band, Lorna Doom’s base too, and there’s always a self destructive singer pouring his soul out in front of us, I think about those nights so often and smile

@@urdad9853 if you were around back then the band Los saicos had the hardcore sound before everyone else. Did you know about them and if so what kind of impact did they have on the la punk scene back then?

@@dukeofthedance8062Oh, cool. Funny. It’s funny because he’s famous for being both the drummer in nirvana and for forming and being the front man of foo fighters, and you actually knew that, except you’re pretending to not be familiar with any of that for comedic value. Am I right about any of that, because if so, you’re fucking hilarious, man. I mean, who comes up with shit like that? I for one have never seen anything like that? I also had a joke about the drummer for nirvana looking like the front man of Foo Fighters or something like that, and then another one about the drummer of the chili peppers looking like the guy from the movie Elf, because I hadn’t really seen a joke like that before on here, so I wasn’t sure that anyone would actually get it, so I didn’t post it. It’s certainly not as funny as yours though.
I remember I was in a car with my dad on the way to Walmart and he popped this cassette in and I was like who is this. He explained all of it and I was amazed. One of my favorite albums to this day
Best US punk record from the time. Absolutely incredible for balls the wall swagger. It’s a shame it all ended how it did, but this band wee never going to make a second record.
Check out Is This Real? By the Wipers (1st lineup). I think it stands up to GI tho I like them for completely different reasons. Ironically Greg Sage came down to LA to do the final mix and I think we went to the Germs show at Hong Kong Cafe...
Man... the bad brains self titled record is one hell of a record, but who cares what got him into punk as long as he’s into it, that’s all that matters
miloesalazar eh, i absolute respect joan. but it's been said by many of the people there (pat, joan herself) that she didn't do much in the way of actually recording the band. (yes i'm aware that she was instrumental in getting them there and all that though) but the actual sonic recording, not so much
+Darrien Day I realize the drums really are something special after my musical knowledge having some growth. I remember a line the Don Bolles character says in the film when confronted about the new hardcore bands playing faster and harder, "They"re cheating. They play polka beats!" A really good point, Don was like a much faster Keith Moon. His drumming added depth and nuance to the simple chord progressions while still being aggressive and fast.
I was in a old punk bend in Rockford IL back in the 80' and we used to drink and listen to the Germs and other bands until we were drunk and go practice. Man the early days. I miss them.
@@TehGav I will check them out. Thanks. I'm a old school punk. I'm no into the Rancid and Green Day watered down punk. I'm more into Bad Brains and Dead Kennedys.
I didn’t know what the Decline of Western Civilization was - googled it & added it to my watchlist - but came back to say I grew up loving punk because, among many things, my mom was obsesseddddd with the Repo Man soundtrack lol.
Is there any better summation of this album? is there any better summation of punk rock? Answer to both: FUCK NO! BURN THE MOTHERFUCKER TO THE GROUND!!
I love 99% of Old-School LA Punk. I just never liked or 'got' The Germs. I listened to the album once back in the 80's. I gave it to a friend a few weeks later.He didn't like it either! Wonder where that album ever landed...

I think I will. Thank you for the recommendation. Punk is a direct descendant of psychedelic rock in my opinion, the songs are just much shorter. I hear a lot of Arthur Lee in The Germs.
@@andyiwanski939 "I hear a lot of Arthur Lee in The Germs." - "Signed D.C." was almost prophetic. I have always maintained that in many ways the LA/So Cal punk rock scene of the late 1970's and early 1980's was a continuation of the garage/psychedelic scene of the 1960s. Bands like the Alleycats, Go-Gos, Bags and the Last certainly recognized and acknowledged that influence in their own work.
David c Valencia I can still picture me and a couple of other punx going to zed records in Long Beach. Not the 2nd zeds ,the first 1 on 7th street.it was late 79 or 1980. I bought this record.one of my worst sorrows of my life, is when I found out my x wife sold it to vinyl solutions in 2008. This is the greatest album I don’t have anymore. And now my life sucks
I used to be so fucked up all the time. When i was introduced to this band I was also introduced to blatz at the same time. I was literally so high that for 2 years straight I was listening to this band thinking it was Blatz and telling everyone I fucking hated the germs. So ya... anyways... Germs are incredible and I fucking hate Blatz. I hate that band with a passion. But anyways... I survived and the boozin and drugs. Im not straight edge or sober by any means but im not sleeping in barf every night anymore. Not for a long fuckin time. Germs were incredible. Great sound.

Pat Smear, from The Germs to Foo Fighters. He faced 4 tragedies. Darby Crash, Kurt Cobain (Even though Pat wasn't an official member of Nirvana), Lorna Doom, and Taylor Hawkins.
Richie Dagger's Crime is my favorite! I wish we had some cool punk bands come out of the east coast, like west coast punk bands like The Germs, The Offspring, and Rancid. I saw The Offspring at Hammerjacks in Baltimore back in the day. And I saw Rancid open up for Biohazard at Hammerjacks. I wish I could have seen The Germs! I want a Germs Burn!
Baltimore Coolguy lots of great punk shows in Baltimore these days at Sidebar, Mercury Theatre, Undercroft, Ottobar, Holy Frijoles, Asian Taste, and I think a few new house spots are popping up this year. Come out some time.

I heard of the decline of western civilization in high school and looked it up recently and it has the germs and blackflag and X and stuff all the stuff in the world and though I watched it and listened to it piecemeal and have not seen nor listened to the conclusion of the movie... what is impressed upon me is how much he puts into the song animal which to think about I wonder if that song possibly a breath of fresh air in a subconscious and conscious sense to him and the band? ..

I was friends with Darby Crash. He was a great poet, soul and had a lot of problems, just as we all did back then. God bless him.
sure u liar
he was such a tortured soul. but most of the best song writers did. do you have a germs burn?
shut up, liar
I'm the furthest from religious as one can be, BUT Cap't, maybe a disagreement can still be handled with courtesy and respect. He has his belief, you have yours, I have mine, etc...just remember vive la difference (celebrate the differences).
worst case scenario, you might learn something and he might too.
Think about it
Darby was the best part of The Decline...along with Eugene.
RIP Darby Crash (1958 - 1980) and Lorna Doom (1958 - 2019)
lol it has 69 likes
I understand that Darby inherited a lot of mental problems from his mother. And a couple of years strung out on ACID probably didn't help matters at all either... But damned people, I wish that guy would have hung around longer. The GI album is right up there with Minor Threat's, The Ramones, and The Cro-Mags first album. Simply phenomenal.
He's been called a genius and rightfully so.
Darby.... Why'd you have to go and blow it all man??? There was so much ahead for you brother.
This band always reminded me of the epitome of l.a. / hollywood punk rock. Definitely had a different sound and style then the rest of the world
They were the most punk punk band. Darby died his hair blue as an experiment, the whole hardcore scene was basically a generic version of the germs who may play hardcore, but it's straightforward punk and predates hardcore
I am a punk fan and never really listened to the germs but I can clearly see where they fit in with LA punk like DK, FEAR, Adolescents etc
They still heavily influence LA punk bands, swear every backyard gig in East LA you see the blue circle patches on every jacket, you hear Pat Smear’s guitar in every band, Lorna Doom’s base too, and there’s always a self destructive singer pouring his soul out in front of us, I think about those nights so often and smile
What about The Gun Club?
This is one of the most important pieces of music to ever be released into the world. Absolutely crucial. The countless people it inspired that would go on to inspire others is staggering. This is legit life changing music. Forever in my top 5 records of all time.

+ivanafterfive punk rock in general. it was the germs they are the definition of punk rock.
"You ain't neva lie!!!!"
Probably the most important and relevant (after 40 years ) punk records ever made.
important definitely yes. relevant sadly not as much. I mean to some of us its quite relevant.
Lexicon Devil is probably the greatest LA punk song along with Black Flag's My war
You fucking said it man although IMO
I'd throw in X-Los Angeles :)
Rise above?
Thirsty and miserable
Depression was Black Flags best song, period.
My War is great but I much prefer other songs
