[@suplex7]

This is the best Mackaye interview I’ve heard, I can tell he enjoyed it as well. Congrats.

Minor Threat is what got me into punk back in 1993

Remember seeing ian at a " Love" show and i was really happy he was there to see a hippy band

[@ililililil8385]

Hearing Ian talk about Henry genuinely makes me happy.

[@E.C.2]

He's a blowhard clueless leftist who made good music.

It wasn't Tim Burns Ian, it was KEN BURNS on Vietnam War

[@matthewatwood2581]

The Grateful Dead of Punk. A lot of Punk folks will hate that. It's all folk music. It's the voice of the people. & Ian is right-it will go on forever.

Did he throw anyone out and give them a refund during this interview?

[@DanHintz]

well done.

[@sickboyrocky665]

Thank you brother

[@happyjack1598]

Fabulous point,most of good insight came from a small gathering of talented folks,who never forgot sense of humor.Flags nervous breakdown etc.is my relatives are coming for the holidays,I want to entertain!As well as a gig.I want folks to enjoy themselves Everyone diy,dont beat each other up!Why would anyone come to a show to cause trouble?😀 what's for a gig?Reminds me of the Jam.They were promoting unity,but every gig not all,but the morons would be fighting a few..Are you actually listening about we are on about?😀❤

[@skawashers]

Unfortunately that music having its genres or sub-genres has limited the expression to just fit into convenient boxes to appeal to a type of gig goer. Without the audience chancing their arm on a new sound and being blown away by it.

[@Blackadder153]

I appreciate the fact most underground bands tried their damndest to stay clear of genre labels. The worst bands I saw were the ones that catered to a particular genre. Very cliche, very limited, same old grip about tired issues.

[@Blackadder153]

@Vodoo Child God so many local bands playing the 80's Chaos Punk role throughout the 90's. It was just watching Larpers playing two chord at 150 BPM.

[@ChrisCleg]

I think he is wrong about the dynamic between Kurt and Dave. He underplays Kurt’s talent and overrates Dave’s sing writing ability or influence on Nirvana in 1991…I do like Foo Fighters but cmon.

[@thedddemon]

Excellent interview. Bring back the page likes please, it gives out a bad vibe. I would assume this would get highly upvoted.
