Joshy and I went and checked out the Hatebreed show at the Warfield the other night. No one can fuck with the Breed. Heaviest band on earth!
After the show we had a little get together at The Hydrilla. I had the chance to catch up with my former bandmate Frank. I miss hanging with this dude everyday.
Frank and Chauncey gettin’ loose.
A gaggle of assholes.
I’ve been down in LA since The Big Takeover party, visiting all our stockists. Got to catch a couple shows down there and hang with friends in between.
Saturday, after the party we all went to Blink 182 at the Hollywood Bowl. Mad confetti and lasers.
Joshy Pee.
Sunday, the Cro-Mags played a free show at the Roxy. This was the craziest hardcore show I’ve seen in a very long time. They always bring it live.
Ghetto Night at the Short Stop in Echo Park is the ultimate party. For real.
One of my favorite hardcore bands are coming out here this week. Blood For Blood was the first band to bring Terror on a real tour. I’ve always have, and always will have much respect for these guys.
Went to the first of many Raiders games this season.
Partied hard with all the knuckleheads.
These dudes.
“The Autumn wind is a Raider, Pillaging just for fun, He’ll knock you ’round and upside down, And laugh when he’s conquered and won.”
This video is for all the streetwear brands out there that having been jocking the scene I’ve been a part of for more than half my life. This shit was around long before you, and will be here long after you’re gone. Making a Cro-Mags rip off shirt does not make you hardcore. Real recognize real.
I cannot wait to check out this book. The New York Hardcore scene has without a doubt had the biggest impact on my life musically. So many amazing bands came out of NYC in this time period. For more information on the book, visit the website. Mine is on its way right now. Full review coming soon.
Here is the new video from our brothers in Terror. This is probably the coolest video I have ever seen a hardcore or metal band do. Enjoy!
I was sitting at home listening to my iTunes today and I realized how much awesome metal came out in 1990. It’s so crazy to me that all these records came out in the same year. These are some of the records that really influenced me to pick up a guitar.
Slayer – Seasons in the Abyss
Suicidal Tendencies – Lights, Camera, Revolution
Pantera – Cowboys From Hell
Megadeth – Rust in Peace
Danzig – Lucifuge
Obituary – Cause of Death
Judas Priest – Painkiller
I had a great birthday weekend. Went to Agnostic Front, The Mongoloids and Naysayer on Friday night. Had such a great time. Bummed I forgot my camera though. Last night Rancid and H2O were in town, and all the knuckleheads showed up!
H2O GO!
Toby is ready for The Big Takeover! Much love, bud!
My new friend CM Punk with my man Casey from The Old Firm Casuals. Solid dudes!
Rancid! One of my all time favorite bands! Everytime I see them I feel like I’m 13 again!
Hooligans!
Shit started to get a little weird when Robin Williams fell asleep on me.
Then shit just got really fucking weird!
Party on!
