The L.A. Times Rises Above

Contributed by an Anonymous Source. Posted by scott on Monday, October 7, 2002 at 3:47 PM (EDT)

"Sunday's Los Angeles Times has this article (and this sidebar) on Sanctuary Records' new compilation album 'Rise Above: Twenty-Four Black Flag Songs to Benefit the West Memphis Three.' The album features performances from ex-Flaggers Henry Rollins, Keith Morris, and Chuck Dukowski, as well as Iggy Pop, Exene Cervenka, Ice-T, Lemmy, Ryan Adams, Hank Williams III and others. The article includes ruminations on what Black Flag was all about from Henry Rollins and founder/guitarist Greg Ginn."
Look for a review of this in the coming weeks [read as: as soon as Moldy gets off his ass].

Thank you :)

yes, nicely done

Has Henry ever let me down? No, this thing is gonna be awesome. I've already heard "No More", "Rise Above" and "Thirsty & Miserable" and they all sound great. Cannot wait for Ice T on Police Story(always a big fan of Body Count and I love all Flag songs) so it should be great. As i look forward to Morris returning to Nervous Breakdown and Iggy Pop on Fix Me. My War should be great with Rollins singing. The ultimate rebelious album. Taking songs from the most brutal band of all time and using it to free some guys in jail unjustly. Leave it to Rollins to do something so cool.

great motivation for an album, but tributes almost always suck

This isn't a tribute you moron. And it definately doesn't suck, I've already heard it.

Someone (October 8, 2002)

its other people doing black flag songs what the hell is it then? note that i did mention the motivation for the album was a good idea, but its still a tribute. if its not a tribute then what is it? the moron (which you so aptly dubbed me) ps. like i would take musical advice from a person i dont even know.
