Of course most people had heard Nirvana before the Germs...

I don't think the average person-who-has-listened-to-Nirvana knows Pat Smear played for a few shows before Kurt Cobain killed himself though.

Yeah right

Cantankerous · 08.24.2008, 11:39 PM

not my favourite band by any stretch of the imagination.

and yes, i knew pat smear was in nirvana before i knew who the germs were.

Death & the Maiden · 08.25.2008, 02:07 AM

The Germs are alright, but they can be really annoying. What We Do Is Secret is one of my favourite punk songs. And I'd heard The Germs before I knew Pat Smear was in Nirvana.

MellySingsDoom · 08.25.2008, 02:15 AM

I haven't heard a single note by The Germs, and don't intend to either. Give me fuzz guitar and hate anyday of the year.

GravitySlips · 08.25.2008, 03:42 AM

I didn't even know Pat Smear was ever in Nirvana til I read this thread.

king-buzzo · 08.25.2008, 04:05 AM

Was Pat Smear in a band? I thought he was a clerk in a record store.

Everyneurotic · 08.25.2008, 08:20 AM

i love the germs!!! and i love darby, he was way more talented and smarter than sid vicious.

mostly is the forming single and (gi), the rest...well..."no god" is awesome.

and the star of the band was don bolles.

Punk rock history, so I'm not going to knock it too much. When I'm in the mood, it's downright engaging--intelligent and noisy.

batreleaser · 08.25.2008, 08:44 AM

i live the collection "M.I.A.", i down own (gi) anymore, but i got the compilation on vinyl, which is just as considering the whole thing of (gi) is on there not to mention a shitload of others.

gmku · 08.25.2008, 08:49 AM

I bought the GI reissue on vinyl and I think it's pretty fine. One of my favorite examples of minimalistic cover artwork, by the way.

Amazing band,yesterday was the 30 year anniversary of Darby Crash's death. RIP!

Been dusting off my punk rock records myself. Favorite song would probobly be "Forming" have the urge to see "The Decline of Western Civiliazation" now.

krastian · 12.17.2010, 08:45 PM

"We Must Bleed" is one of my favorite songs of all time. So great.

Glice · 12.17.2010, 09:13 PM

Oh, so Keeping it Simple is Pookie. It all makes sense now. Well played sir.
