As a big fan of the Circle Jerks, I can definitely say Kung Fu did a good job on their latest live DVD featuring longtime LA hardcore legends the Circle Jerks. While I’ll nitpick over a few things, overall, it's worth the buy.

signing about bad childhoods is all good... "e all have had bad childhoods... but that doesnt mean veryone else wants to hear about it..." "e all have had bad childhoods... but that doesnt mean veryone else wants to hear about it..." anybody who cant appreciate Slip It In, Loose Nut or In My Head simply doesn't appreciate good music. 'Nuff said. tru dat !!! henry ruined black flag, yet Damaged was the best black flag record. ok. and of course greg had absolutely nothing to do with the actual sound of the band. my war, slip it in......it's all henry's fault! they r good henry rollins records... Man, don't even get me started. The record speak for themselves. My War. Slip it In. Live '84. Loose Nut. actually henry ruined BLACK FLAG... I love that- "poser" Henry, obviously some little 12 year old kid with a mohawk wrote that. He's the only guy from that band who still carries his own weight and creates quality original shit. The best part about the show is when Keith tells an idiot in the crowd to stop spiting on them because they are fucking human beings. I was actually at this show. Nothing compares to being their live, but it's a quality DVD. Put together a cat rescue benefit and you can get Ginn to do it half assed. we need a the circle jerks will alwaze kick fukin ass !!! I think its cool that they're still playing because, like X, they're doing it the right way: they don't really tour (they just play local LA shows, as far as I know) and they aren't recording any new material, which pretty much acknowledges how special the original stuff was and how it would pretty stupid to write to stuff like that again at such an old age (7 Seconds, I'm looking right at you). "I find group sex really boring except as a historical anecdote. NOt bad" "anyone else notice they missed the second verse to wild in the streets. and their version of wasted sucks compared to the original black flag version. fuck what this reviewer says, the commentary by keith and zander is funny as shit, along with keith's onstage remarks." anyone else notice they missed the second verse to wild in the streets. and their version of wasted sucks compared to the original black flag version. fuck what this reviewer says, the commentary by keith and zander is funny as shit, along with keith's onstage remarks. Ah, the Coicle Joiks. Nyuk nyuk nyuk. Keith's vocals are pretty quiet in the audio mix on that Flipside compliation tape/DVD. There is a good old Circle Jerks set on the Best of Flipside Vol. 1, which also has a good old Bad Religion set. "You must have searched for hours" hey brandon, besides decline of western civilazation, what are some other good old circle jerks live shows out there? and i thought i heard keith saying either i, i,and i or anxious boy was by the flesheaters. "1 is for review. one more thing....Keith is 50...not 40 and I don't recall hearing any Flesheaters cover on this dvd. I saw the next show after this one, at the Henry Fonda Theatre and it was pretty wild. Although I agree with BSD in that I'd MUCH rather see a collection of early Circle Jerks videos (more energetic/violent), this is still really good stuff. The only bummer about the show was all of the little children with their "45 minute" mohawks and spikes four feet above their head, they don't get in.....just like the idiots from 20 years ago who did the same thing. 1 is for review. Well I don't have VI yet, I want it but I think it's out of print because I can't find it anywhere. I think all of the Circle Jerks albums are pretty good, I can't say there's one Circle Jerks album that I never listen to and don't enjoy. i like their last album, and you know, prefer the last two records, three if you wanna throw that live one in, than their first three. Sounds good, but I already have all of these albums... Why see some guys performing old material? Why not just buy original Circle Jerks shows? Great DVD; but yes the commentary is a mixed bag. It's bad because Keith doesn't know what to say but hearing Zander ramble on and on trying to fill in because Keith isn't saying anything is very amusing so I enjoyed it. Too bad they couldn't get Greg to be a part of the commentary. The last album they put out was in 1995. washed up? it's not like the circle jerks are still putting out records every other year or even touring on an anywhere near normal touring schedule. for all intents and purposes, they're on one of those long extended hiatus deals. yea their last good record was too far back to remember but they can still kick it live. i like how if an 80's pop band is still kicking around everyone calls them washed up, but then this band can still crank out products consisting of their own 80's material and they're not considered washed up. They didn't really say anything about that when I saw them. Keith was too busy talking about wanting to perform cunnilingus on Hillary Duff instead of Disney characters like Snow White and Cinderella. does that mean you sound really bitter and old complaining about me? You sound like a bitter old man complaining over the Circle Jerks bitterness, maybe you shouldn't be commenting anymore. Yeah, the old men still got it when i saw these guys all they did was complain about sum 41 and avrl lavine. not that those bands can touch this bands past, but it got old real quick and made them sound like really bitter petty old men... i love jerk circles Here's the track listing: Letter Bomb In Your Eyes, Stars and Stripes, All Wound Up, I Don’t,Back Against the Wall, Behind the Door, I Just Want Some Skank, Beverly Hills, Anxious Boy, I, I, and I, Paid Vacation, Deny Everything, I Wanna Destroy You, The Crowd, Beat Me Senseless, Wild in the Streets, Trapped, Coup D’Etat, Shit Hits the Fan, Operation, Junk Mail, World Up My Ass, Solitary Confinement, Wasted, Red Tape, and Nervous Breakdown |
