The Germs!!!

Well, I just got their MIA cd, and I liked it a lot. Great L.A. hardcore. Fans of the Circle Jerks will like, maybe even Minor Threat fans. It has 30 songs, 28 different songs. The songs Forming and Lexicon Devil are both repeated. Some songs arent amazing quality. It includes some great pictures of the band, mostly Darby (not suprising, as he was the Germs posterboy). It also has two or three articles on the band from a few different authors. It includes all lyrics, a plus. I dont know how to post mp3s online, but IM me and Ill be happy to send you a song or two. My screen name is I Lovee Bagels.

The Germs are awful and Darby Crash was a useless junkie who OD'd because his band sucked so badly.

There making a movie on the Germs. Funny to see how that is going to turn out. I like the cd but I could only handle a couple of songs at a time.

I heard that it was cancelled due to lack of funds.

I think the Germs are great. I have The Germs: Media Blitz The Germs Story. It's a Dvd. It has a live gig by them. Terrible sound from it and Darby fúcks up alot on it! But sure who says punk has to be perfection? Anyone interested in the Germs should get that DVD. It has Don Bolles talking alot about the band. It's a good watch.
My favourite Germs song would have to be Lexicon Devil

There's a lot better LA hardcore than the Germs. Try Fear they're way better.

I haven't heard much or any of The Germs. But FEAR is the greatest LA hardcore band. Definitely check them out.

I thought DRI were from Texas.

And Fear and The Germs are both fairly overrated.

In their early days they were more or less, over the years they became more of a thrash metal band.
