The Black Flag hair timeline

Posted by aubin on Friday, April 11, 2008 at 2:00 PM (EDT)

Some enterprising and/or weird individual has put together a Black Flag hair timeline showing the haircuts of the influential hardcore band through the years. Beginning with Nervous Breakdown in the late 70s through the bands stoner-metal years circa In My Head.

Thanks to WFMU for finding this.

Kira Roessler? Not really, but I'd still hit it.

TheOneTrueBill (April 11, 2008)

Dez circa 1982?

MattRamone (April 11, 2008)

Mike Watt thinks so.

LookBackAndLaugh (April 11, 2008)

As did Henry Rollins at some point.

batsenflaggs (April 11, 2008)

rollins hit kira? judging by his mentality at that point, i'm guessing 'in all senses of the word.'

MattRamone (April 11, 2008)

oh god, comment of the day nominee

AnarchyPants (April 11, 2008)

MattRamone (April 11, 2008)

Steve is blushing.

batsenflaggs (April 11, 2008)

MattRamone (April 11, 2008)

Nah, I just clocked time in the Dictators.

batsenflaggs (April 11, 2008)

i'm man enough to admit that i don't get it

Jesus_H_Christ (April 11, 2008)

I think I remember seeing you in '75 at Max's.

MattRamone (April 11, 2008)

It's entirely possible if you were lookin at my daddy's nutsack.

baldsteve (April 12, 2008)

Best thread ever!

AnarchyPants (April 11, 2008)

Bald punks unite!

Marizo (April 11, 2008)

Chavo Pederast was the best singer Black Flag had.

5+ Replies

MattRamone (April 11, 2008)

Who was the one that sang on the Jealous Again EP?

Marizo (April 11, 2008)

Chavo

TheOneTrueBill (April 11, 2008)

Chavo Pederast/Ron Reyes. And yes, he was the best.

IT'S NOT MY IMAGINATION! I'VE GOT A GUN IN MY BAAAAAAAAAAACK!

MattRamone (April 11, 2008)

Agreed.

fallingupwards84 (April 11, 2008)

wrong, Rollins easily

randomhero323 (April 11, 2008)

i agree

KlashedKi (April 11, 2008)

I believe its Cousin Itt (two t's)

655321 (April 11, 2008)

... great comment though

Dante3000 (rich) (April 11, 2008)

Not sure if this is news but damn a that must have taken some effort.
On a side note, bearded Henry is the best.

YasserBossin (April 11, 2008)

LookBackAndLaugh (April 11, 2008)

I agree. At least he doesn't look like Weird Al

LinoleumMagazine (April 11, 2008)

Beard-rock to the max

rockthiscasbah (April 11, 2008)

I love how Greg's just comes full circle by '86

Goo (April 11, 2008)

haha

Hey_ska (April 11, 2008)

Black Flag- The band with multiple original lineups.

655321 (April 11, 2008)

This would make a great full size poster - kinda like that one that has all the guitar chords.

2+ Replies

RightCliqificus (April 12, 2008)

except that one (or two, if you want to be correct) is useful.

AlexBLP (April 12, 2008)

guitar chords? par-tay! whats next... the periodic table? 'the ten stages of paint drying'?

fallingupwards84 (April 11, 2008)

cool, but this is news because....?

yahay (April 11, 2008)

is anybody else here astonished (and thankful) that there has been no coverage of the wentz/simpson engagement?

10+ Replies

MattRamone (April 11, 2008)

Yes and no.

fallingupwards84 (April 11, 2008)

if it was still the days of anonymous posting, it woulda been great

MattRamone (April 11, 2008)

Even with all the variations on "fuk that emo faget"

batsenflaggs (April 11, 2008)

wuss emo rock

this story wentz straight over my head

MattRamone (April 11, 2008)

I really do think Navel Gazing should allow anonymous commenting.

batsenflaggs (April 11, 2008)

i dont know, but i want a poster like the one above charting pete wentz' ego from the start of FOB to the end (2011)

Weber_WK (April 11, 2008)

Wait, we only have 3 more years of FOB? Sweet!

batsenflaggs (April 11, 2008)

yeah, we'll get one more record and then they'll break up due to "internal conflicts", milk it for all it's worth. and then of course pete wentz will write ashlee simpson's new album.

Dante3000 (rich) (April 11, 2008)

Not to be a dick but posts like this are exactly why the news IS posted. I haven't read about this anywhere else but there's been like 40 posts about why it hasn't been put on Punknews.
Again, I get why you're surprised that it hasn't been posted but I wish people would either not talk about it on here or stop complaining when it's posted. No cake and eating it here.
-Dante

MattRamone (April 11, 2008)

Yeah, I'd like to see the editors take in to account th eoff topic new chatterings, like about this or Chinese Democracy or Moros Eros or whetever.

drewshaw (April 11, 2008)

you've made that pretty obvious over the last few days

Guy_Incognito (April 11, 2008)

I'm flabbergasted to be quite frank. The news story has by far the most potential to bring out the best in us.

Marizo (April 11, 2008)

Pete Wentz is getting married? Damn that hoe bag Simpson!

HE WAS MINE!!!

Caustic_Punk (April 11, 2008)

You know what would be even better is if people would stop bringing it up in their post.

Torgo (April 11, 2008)

I thought Kira was in the band longer

Jesus_H_Christ (April 11, 2008)

Dez in '83 reminds me of Andrew W.K.

allison_le_gnome (April 11, 2008)

WFMU is awesome.

batsenflaggs (April 11, 2008)

the second '82 line-up look like a post-hardcore band from '04

letthebeatdrop (April 11, 2008)

this is kinda cool..

theJUNGLEbrook (April 11, 2008)

man. i didnt like them before, but knowing that this is what their fans do really drove the point home.

2+ Replies

batsenflaggs (April 11, 2008)

i don't mean to get personal, but i noticed that the misfits are one of your top bands. and their fans are never THIS excessive, amirite?

theJUNGLEbrook (April 12, 2008)

hahaha. you got me there!

batsenflaggs (April 12, 2008)

good working with you. but yeah to be fair, this does take a ridiculous amount of research. pretty far beyond wikipedia.

LORDSHREDDER (April 11, 2008)

You can see as the hair and hesher beards grew longer, it was in sync with the albums that declined drastically. Pretty much everything after Damaged is total crap. Greg Ginn is a horrible guitarist. I don't know why people praise him.

MattRamone (April 11, 2008)

Anyone ever notice how close the first two lines of Black Flag's "White Minority" and Green Day's "Minority" are?

2+ Replies

mikexdude (April 11, 2008)

Well, they aren't that close, but my OCD just goes crazy when I think about it.

dickvain41 (April 11, 2008)

That's because Green Day are hacks!

Chimpo (April 12, 2008)

Ha ha that is brilliant and hilarious!
