Thanks so much for the interview. This man is very smart and sensitive. I love the way he captures his inner wisdom and share it with accurate words.

GARY is a living legend. Pure Heart, Pure Soul, Great Human being in every aspect and also a Super live performance lead man. There's nobody on earth in this business that I admire more than Mr. Meskil 👊🤘❤️‍🔥🍻

Great review!

Is this clown still pretending he drew the Jane Doe cover art from scratch?

Seems to be a real nice bloke!City baby is still my favorite punk album

We know cocaine enters you into the dark side as it numbs you and you can't get any satisfaction cos tou loose your sensitivity. And the bi carbon melts your bones and blood veins.wjen are we going to wake up and end all this.......u killed the music and mow u killing the planet .......maybe you take the ultimate trip out of your bodies and give mother nature room to mend.......and heal and try and self cleanse her self from your filth and pollution......

They have been touring for several years i think. And now they have become an "overnight sensation" Love them. And forgive me for my pride- they are Canadian boys from Regina, Saskatchewan. 🎶 🎵

Good to see Millencolin still kickin

Anyone know what shirt he is wearing in the interview?

Converge should have quit after you fail me change my mind

Man, I love when something an artist says absolutely blows my mind unexpectedly with inspiration and sends me to the moon and... Jake dropped something indeed that just... whoa... 🤯🤯🤯🙏🤘🤘🤘🤘

I love Justin's attitude toward pretty much everything. Like he said, New Model Army have been able to do whatever they want without compromising, and that's the freedom that comes with just being yourself. I think a lot of their older fans would agree when I say that there is something very, very special about growing old with a band that has aged and matured while keeping close to the ideals and beliefs that drove them in youth, especially when so many of us fans have too. Life changes the man, but the spirit remains the same.

from my article on the top 15 punk albums City Attacked By Rats. Released August, 1982. Reached #2 on the Indie chart, #17 on the U.K. charts. Originally Charged G.B.H. and later just G.B.H., this crucial band formed in Birmingham, England in 1978.The initials stand for grievous bodily harm, (in English law, a serious physical injury inflicted on a person by the deliberate action of another), not "Great Big Hairdo" or as their singer joked, "Girls, Booze, Hash." Along with Discharge and The Exploited they are generally considered one of the three most important bands of the second wave of UK punk. Singer Colin Abrahall remembered, " Before punk came along, I didn't have any real interest in music at all. I was at school at the time and all these rumours would filter through the playground, stuff that was from The Sun newspaper, really silly things like ' Punks spit down their girlfriends' throats when they kiss,' and so on. I remember hearing "Sheena Is A Punk Rocker" on the radio and thought 'Wow, this is great' ...then I heard the Sex Pistols and The Clash. I suppose I was the right age at the time 'cos it was all so rebellious and the stuff your parents would hate, and it just felt so right to me." G.B.H. played their first real show at Digbeth Civic Hall on September 12, 1980-a benefit for prostitutes' rights. They played all ten songs they knew, with Abrahall quite scared. After the show they got a few compliments, and someone said the band was decadent. " So, I went home," Abrahall recalled, "and looked it up in the dictionary." The band recorded four demo songs in 1980, then Clay Records signed them, and they recorded an excellent and much loved 12" EP, “Leather, Bristles, Studs And Acne”. This well played, hard charging platter surprisingly became a big seller, peaking at #8 on the UK Indie Charts. Songs like "Lycanthropy" and "Necrophilia" were quite unusual fare for a punk record. Two singles followed and then their classic debut album, City Baby Attacked By Rats, recorded in three days, hit the stores. Some of their earlier songs suffered from less than stellar production but with City Baby… the band was let loose with 24 tracks to work with. The result is wonderful; on a good playback system it sounds superb. The album opens with a loud, ticking clock, "Time Bomb," and it really does explode into the stratosphere after that. Well-crafted melodic punk, excellently played and sung with power and aggression. Songs about a maniac " Your face will turn a ghostly blue as he comes into view/ To slice you up in not enough, he must dismember you." Ramones' type lyrics in "Sick Boy" " I'm strapped into my bed/ I've got electrodes in my head/ My nerves are really bad/ It's the best time I've ever had." "The Passenger On The Menu" deals with cannibalism. The song "Slut" was harshly criticized in some magazines "I wanted you 'cause of your bust/ And now I want a night of lust/ Can't wait around anymore/ So take me home you dirty whore." Offsetting these types of songs are those like "The Prayer Of A Realist", which questions the reality of a God with so much suffering in the world. A complete success, one of the most perfect punk albums of the 80's. Really a must to hear and own.

Always a great Guy.. CONVERGE

what a load osSHIT!!!! Absolute crap.

Dude who is the main singer looks just like my grandpa. Same mustache space and everything.

Great I Interview with UK Legend

One day older than grass

He is such a legend. I saw the Subs in the late 90's.

I love that the bassist is wearing a "bohren und der club of gore t-shirt"

Jacobs one of the nicest cats I’ve met. Right off the stage, sweat pouring… wished each other happy birthday. And he’s got some dope artwork. Never would’ve thought he’d mock up two of the heavy hitters… Aliens and Godzilla.

Hell yeah, brother. I’d love to chat with this gentleman.

Great questions and you let him explain without interruption, excellent interview

Io adoro i queers li ho visti due volte in Italia,(Milano e Taranto, nord e sud) non deludono mai, sono veri, grazie di esistere queers e joe is fkn genius, vi aspettiamo in sud Italia 🇮🇹 hope soon

Are the recordings of that Converge/Cave In demo available anywhere?

I really appreciate that Converge puts such a focus on their art/artwork. I still buy multiple shirts of a same band if the designs are cool. Like i have 3 Converge t-shirts

just a fan of guys named Jake 👍

Hey,I was a crumbsuckers fan from,87,I love the onkelz,but pro pain are the best band ever, your a superfreak when it comes to riffs brother

🖤🤘🤘🤘🖤🖤🖤This is fucking sick!!!!

Cool as a polar bears toenail...

Gary remarking that people might be surprised by what he listens to, I'm surprised that people wouldn't listen to those bands. Great interview. Long live Pro-Pain, Crumbsuckers, and the other music Gary's been involved in.

Always in my top 5 bands ever, soo underrated .53 this month and still blastin it reg

I'm a huge fan of Converge. Jane Doe has gotten me through some rough times. I hope Jacob is prospering these days.

Next time I saw him was again at the 100 club basically same seat at the bar , but he wasn't playing, he came to watch the meteors, he recognised me and we started chatting like we'd known each other for years. I spent years traveling around the uk and Europe with the meteors, but if i could go back i would make time to go to more Subs gigs .

Really lovely genuine down to earth guy , even at their highest Charlie would be sitting at the bar having a beer Happy to chat with anyone. When i first met him it was 100 club , sitting at the bar , just a regular guy , no pre madonna BS, if you didn't know who he was he wouldn't be the one telling you who he was or acting any different to anyone else. He looked completely different ( like all of us from back then) dark curly hair with some dreads .. Lovely lovely guy 🍺🍺🍺 Loved subs version of "she's not there" . After hearing it my band added it to our set list ..

Motörhead on his shirt

JAKE IS THE MAN. MUCH LOVE, DUDE.

Jacob seems like super a nice guy..big fan of him

Jacob is so down to earth.

Adore this man's incredible talent!!!❤😟👍💕

Massive respect to Charlie.

As said at the the end of the interview, he's a great supporter of new bands. Shortly before Rebellion, I went to see Rumkicks in Brighton, and he turned up with his wife, and chatted to them before the show, and they were thrilled.

What an inspiring man!!!

First seen the Subs in 82 and and a few times since then. 😂. The first 5 albums are absolutely sensational

Wikipedia has Charlies age as 79,I thought he was older than jet black.

I fucken love you guys !!!
