The Germs
 

They may be one of the most overrated punk bands ever and their singer may have been a talentless Sid Vicious wannabe. But I'm sure there are those among us with no imagination or mind of their own who choose to believe the hype.

So for those numbskulls, this article from today's Observer may be of some interest.

Twats.

Pat Smear was an awesome guitar player. Some really creative guitar lines.

Twat.

Okay.

yeah the germs are good dude, like the brige between early la punk rock and la hardcore. and according to your half assed comparison every punk rocker junkie in the world is a sid vicious wannabe. i think darby is lame too, but sid vicious wannabe? who gives a fuck. and pat smear was rad.

Pat Smear was the star of the band in my opinion.

You never would have heard of him if he hadn't been in Nirvana.

I didn't even know he was in Nirvana until a few years ago when I heard "From the Muddy Banks of the Wishkah" and went, "Whoa, who's that second guitar player?"

By then, I'd already had the Germs discography.

Yeah, right:rolleyes:

Yeah... right.

What point are you trying to make? I never paid attention to Nirvana or who was playing second guitar for live shows I never saw.

Yeah right:rolleyes:

Pointless off-topic post: My go-to band for all fings punk rawk at t'moment are Crass - incredibly tuneless, but brutal,and Totally English. The original version of "Reality Asylum" cuts even Whitehouse for extremity - and this in 1978! Incredible.

perv

Yeah, I know I'm right....?!

I don't know what to say.

I heard the entire Ramones, Screeching Weasel, Vandals, Operation Ivy, Bad Religion, NOFX, and probably a thousand other great and shitty punk bands' discographies before I ever heard Nevermind all the way through.

Never been a big Nirvana fan.

Yeah right:rolleyes:

I'm not even going to bother replying anymore, you're retarded.

Can we change the subject of this thread to something more interesting than the FREAKIN' GERMS, please?

maybe so, but not many 8 year old kids would be familiar with the germs. and id be damned if 90 percent of people 25 and under hadnt heard nirvana prior to the germs.

Yeah, right:rolleyes:
