I'm not your buddy...I just want to talk about one of the greatest hardcore bands. K?

Nah I don't hate you.

Damaged is brilliant, an undeniable masterpiece. The problem I've got with it is fairly simple and fairly superficial. I think I've listened to that album 100 times...it was THE album of my early teenage years. The lyrical topics struck a real chord with me, and the generally angry and biting nature of the album was inspiration. I love Damaged, but I know every single note of that album, therefore I no longer find it interesting.

My personal favourite Black Flag release NOW, is Who's Got the 10 1/2. It captured the raw, furious and energetic sound of later 'Flag, giving a much more personal and intimate take on their work. Great stuff.

I am not a guitarist, so I can't help out there as I dont know what Ginn plays. All i know is that I love those goddamn solos he plays. It's crazy, like free jazz meets sludgy noise. Well not quite, but he certainly had a unique style, which distinguished Black Flag from other more conventional hardcore bands. Greg is the man, although his solo stuff sucks ass.

you are best to avoid Greg's solo stuff.

he did work with a collective called "Gone" which was pretty interesting...like later Saccharine Trust style jazz-improv-punk. If you're a big Black Flag fan it's worth checking out Gone, especially if you're into "The Process Of Weeding Out" ep...but just DO NOT listen to Gregs solo stuff as it is numbingly bad.

If I was female, I would definitely want to marry Henry Rollins.

The guy is just fantastic.
