victor D'Aconia Fair play, it's a great album. Though, it's not quite a masterpiece for me personally, but I like that, I enjoy the minor imperfections.
i think All By Myself is incredible, if it was billed as an Adolescents album, it would be the second or third best behind the untouchable s/t and demos. Better than any Bad Religion or Social Distortion album post-1983. probably aged better than a lot of OC bands have aged. Im surprised its not more respected.
@@DaveAnchovies Part of me has started to wonder if it would've made a great Adolescents album lately and I dunno. While I can see some tracks like OC Life doing well, I can't help but think that Want You Every Day wouldn't have made the cut. I think part of the charm is that it's Rikk, and he was a bit more experimental in his approach. It's like Balboa Funzone, lots of Adolescents fans don't tend to appreciate that album as much and don't regard it as a definitive Adolescents product. I definitely think some of it would work with Tony singing, but not all of it, if you get what I mean. Balboa Funzone, btw, is a top album, imo.
@@GilbertSyndrome there is footage on TH-cam of Adolescents playing in March 82 with Rikk, and they play Yur 2 Late th-cam.com/video/Ard1WKpt4GE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ujZWaUQO3UpCmC7t , makes me wonder if they hadnt split whether some of the material was originally intended for a 2nd Adolescenrts album, especially as Rikk took OC Life and Falling Out to D.I. later on. But as the band split he recorded it himself instead. Just a theory, only Rikk would know for sure! Absolute legend though, no doubt. All By Myself is a stone cold classic in my opinion
Rikk Agnew is half Mexican and was in a hood from la puente, that's a trip. Nice guy too, signed my Christian death record, fuckin legend. Just listen to that death wish ep!!
Hi Carcrashradio there is Rikk Agnew & Eric Blair talk his youth , Social Distortion and O.C. punk and RIKK AGNEW & ERIC BLAIR (45 Grave , Steve Soto & HVY DRT etc part 1 th-cam.com/video/fP4NHSewobA/w-d-xo.html But We shot over 3 hours of footage so It will take some time to get each part up !!! But THANKS CARCRASHRADIO YOU ROCK !!!
@@blairingoutshow Now, you need to do an interview with Scott Hoogland (the singer of the Mechanics) as well as one with Scott and Rikk about the punk scene in OC during the late 70's & early 80's.
I have the Mechanics "Drivin'" 7"(regular and test press copies), didn't know a thing about them. Glad I watched this(aside from being a massive DI fan.)
I grew up with these guys and remember frank and Alfie shredding the seventh grade talent show at Nicolas jr. High. Frank on guitar Alfie on drums. Good ol days.
Eric is the nicest guy but i love that he has George Orwell's real name. He is a wonderful journalist and has always been nothing but a beautiful human being when i have spoke to him. And much LOVE AND RESPECT to uncle Rikk - triple OG big homie - makes the 714 proud
Dude shared a fattie with me seeing ‘don’t no’ at a pizza place didn’t realize it was him for a sec then I was like oh shit you wrote all those great songs ! Thanks and thanks ! Nice fella , pillar
on Shitkipedia, it states that Mike was the founder of SD. After listening to Rikk, It does't seem the case.. A great interview. I did a few shows in Hollywood where Rikk was playing in a band for the night, and he didn't have a amp cabinet so he borrowed mine and we had some laughs. A great guy.
It's true Mike wasn't a good fighter. He tried to stop a couple fights I got in at Oki Dogs bahahahahhahhaaha ! I would have to push him out of the way. Lol
He's not talking about the motorcycle club here. He's using the late 70's derogatory term for long-haired Ted Nugent-loving low IQ burnout rocker dudes. It was a particularly popular term around Orange County into the early 80's. It's use was revived in skateboard culture about 12 years ago after being largely forgotten for 25+ years. It was a great term - I never stopped using it until it was co-opted by skate culture. I liked using it cuz no one knew what the hell it meant when I called someone a hessian. And, yes, along with the Ching-a-Lings it was also always one of my favorite MC names ever. It's just a great word!
Damn, there were 2 Social Distortion bands? Well if the other version was as great as the M. Ness lead crew, I would have fuckin’ killed to have heard them play, as well.
SUPPORT Mr AGNEW, AND GITANE! here is one way!....support the community and artists endeavors directly, instead of ebay or discogs, etc... rikkagnewshit.bigcartel.com/ Much love to you both for the KILLER long form dialogue...we are one big community that can really work for change, if we just support people directly...its that easy. tell em glen in tucson sent you!
LOL, old white guys that play "classic punk" in Compton hats... Next thing you know millennial's will be moving there and giving it some goof ball "rebranded" name like CO-LA...
LOL! Fucking idiots who don’t know what they’re talking about criticizing Rikk Agnew for wearing a “Compton” hat when the man literally grew up in the hood during the 60s & 70s! Next thing you know they’ll say another stupid thing with absolutely no relevance whatsoever...
Who doesn't love Rikk Agnew! An absolute legend and great guy.
Right
Rikk Agnew is a kick ass guitarist! He is definitely a punk rock icon! ✌💜😊🙏
I love Rikk. Such a gentlemen, and great talent. He put Fullerton on the punk map.
Rikk and the Brothers Agnew are legends in the US Punk circuit. "All By Myself" is a solid album.
I feel like that's an understatement thing is a masterpiece

These OC albums help me get through the BS that high school is
All By Myself one of my fav albums 🔥
Such a great guy ❤ Christian Death was always Rikk and Rozz. ❤

Tim Racca is the legend no one knows about.

Very cool 👍 , I really enjoyed this interview .
I grew up with these guys and remember frank and Alfie shredding the seventh grade talent show at Nicolas jr. High. Frank on guitar Alfie on drums. Good ol days.
Out in Fullerton Right?
Scott Hoogland paved the way for a lot punk and hardcore scene and people should look into him a bit more …that dude is a beast
looking good señor Rik!
I know him well,always loved him❤❤❤❤
Great interview!

All I have to say is that Rikk Agnew is one helluva guy. He's one of a kind.
One of my dearest friends.😊I was a Mechinic.
Love the mechanics
Did they release anything? Any idea where I can listen to them?
Great Interview

ORANGE COUNTY PUNK ROCK LEGEND
RIKK AGNEW IS GOD
The guy's legacy is as important if not more than the folks who influenced his work. Or the people he mentions.
Love you bring a body count shirt
It's true Mike wasn't a good fighter. He tried to stop a couple fights I got in at Oki Dogs bahahahahhahhaaha ! I would have to push him out of the way. Lol
Most of his brothers were in the Adolescents too
Hey rikk
Hessians MC was/is a motorcycle gang around that area.
