On SST:
"Now we have a real solid distributor with Koch and now I feel very
optimistic, because not only do we have a good distributor, but they seem to be
a really solid company and that's going real smooth. So we'll begin
releasing a lot of music this year and have quite a lot of activity. It's real
exciting."
On the pending reunion:
"If we took the greed factor out of it and made it for a larger cause, it
could be educational and we could make a bunch of money for a grass-roots cat
rescue programs. Then my attitude could be different, since I've avoided this
for so many years. So now I'm thinking, "Wow, this could be fun." So right
now, we're putting together a show like that. It'll be a Black Flag, first
four years, thing like that."
On the band members:
"Well, as you can imagine, people are in different places with different
schedules, and I've been trying to put this together for the past couple
months and we keep running into scheduling conflicts, so it's kind of up in
the air right now. I want to see who would want to sing with us, and all of the
first four years' singers expressed interest, which is Dez [Cadena], Keith
[Morris] and Ron [Reyes]. We're still dealing with scheduling things there,
and then we'll take it from there."

us with some very cool news. Greg Ginn recently spoke with Mean
Street about both the resurrection of SST
Records and a possible Black Flag reunion. Check out the full interview here. SST's first releases in about six
years will be Ginn projects like the "semi-urban vibes of Mojack and Confront
James, the electronic-based Hor and the straight-ahead punk jams of Fast Gato
(with former ALL frontman Scott Reynolds on vocals)."

Greg should really consider not doing this reunion and let the Black Flag legacy continue with dignity. Just my opinion. 6+ Replies

They need Henry to really pull this off. I love the singers before Hank, but come on.. My War and Damaged are black flags best.. it just wouldn't be the same with out him. Plus he's a really nice guy. Met him at one of his talking shows a month or two back. Still hardcore and 40 something... 2+ Replies

honstly, this sounds kinda lame. i really don't like reunions. but on the plus side, i like the news about scott reynolds fronting a new band. but does this mean no more pavers?

no one wants to see a bunch of 40-somethings try to play punk rock. it just won't have the same energy. if greg ginn wants to contribute something to punk rock again maybe he could organize a tour with younger bands and give 1/2 to charity and 1/2 to the bands. 2+ Replies

the relaunched SST will collapse for the same reason SST collapsed in the early '90s: no one wants to listen to an hour of solo Greg Ginn guitar wanking.

Thank God they arn't getting Rollins involved. I hate that guy. He sucks live, Rollins Band is horrible. They could do without Kieth too, saw the Circle Jerks show a ways back with Toxic Narcotic and GBH. All those old reunion shows end up being a waste of money. Thanks for the music Black Flag, but please don't destroy the credibility that you have worked so hard for up until now. 1+ Reply

Henry would bve the best singer for this.....but only on one condition.....IF HE WOULD SCREAM!!!! He doesn't put out those gut wrenching howls anymore. I'm sure he's probably damaged his throat and is unable now. But that would be badass. What I wouldn't give to see Henry howl through Nothing Left Inside live or My War. 1+ Reply

Greg is raising money to save stray cats....I now hold him in much higher respect than I once did. I always loved his playing, but got the feeling he was a bitter jerk for treating rollins fucked. But animals are cool, and cats deserve salvation more than any asshole person does. And no I'm not being sarcastic. 2+ Replies
