my name is raymond pettibon and i designed this muthafucking thang timeless

[@datbumo]

Also I think every documentary or feature, regardless of topic, should have an interview with Flea while he's sitting on a toilet.

[@HH-jk8hi]

I laughed when I saw flea sitting on a toilet

[@mantislake4141]

had he been standing on it, he'd have been high on pot

[@jasonlieberman4606]

I'm wondering whether whose idea it was

[@ZLAKOZILLA]

today i visited the museum of modern art here in salzburg, they run a big Raymond Pettibon exhibition with his original artwork. His artwork is amazing and they displayed a lot of it. They have a big wall there which is only dedicated to the Black Flag Albums, Posters, Flyers .... :-) just epic

[@dansaunders1655]

That's so sick

"Probably one of the more popular tattoos besides, swastikas... or whatever"

[@Kurtbornie]

I have the 4 bars tattooed on my bicep.

[@jimmyjambhere]

I thought the misfits skull was the number 1 band tattoo.

[@th3gr81]

People who tattoo band logos on themselves are complete morons… unless you’re in the band

[@Lordestroyer]

I have the bars and a Misfits tattoo. 😊

[@Goinbig]

Or whatever🧐

[@HankSantosTV]

Never been happier to have those bars tattooed on me.

[@ronbaker2673]

I got the bars painted on my dirt bike on my skateboard on my truck

This is an awesome series, The Art of Punk. Things like this are what make KZbin worthwhile.

[@manuelkong10]

How many bands have come with their own totally unique brilliant art? not many

[@jasminericenic]

Dead Kennedys

[@evanabbott2737]

Other bands may have had their own little art but black flag’s was the best and heaviest.

[@MrMookRecords]

Tons! Crass, Husker Du, Sebadoh, Stereolab, Hood, Fucked Up (as featured in the intro/outro music on this doc..)

[@lindah3954]

Journey

[@Asburybrad]

Miles Davis. Kurt Cobain was an actual artist. From his video concepts to paintngs and sculpture. John Lennon was one too.. Alot of those brits went to art school in the early 60's

[@JohnKesselChannel]

pity that you couldn't use black flag music for this program.

[@josuerios9415]

Greg would copyright it

[@s.a.l.1974]

The music's fucking sick tho

[@rocknroll_jezus9233]

Quick someone edit real bf tunes over the shit ones

[@urwholefamilydied]

I love how the whole purpose of this video is "the art of punk" yet anytime there's an image of the artwork it cuts away after a nano-second, then zooms in on the image, then does some effects on the image. Can I look at the fucking image for one god damn second without having to keep my finger on the pause button?

[@pjr5913]

the art of rollins

[@bucketcitypunxtv2608]

It's most likely because the don't wanna risk getting sued by Greg Ginn.

[@mpup54]

use the pause?

[@lanceuppercut2013]

[@Joeynivek]

Art is more than just physical

[@Dhieen]

The album covers and black flag art , its so hypnotizing...

[@Mistergorehound]

Were you on DMT when you seen them?

[@mdemers767]

I don't think I've EVER seen Rollins and Morris ~together~ talking about Black Flag...

[@dennisbagwell667]

Greatest punk rock band ever. They are why I picked up a guitar over 30 years ago and I still play.

[@BigDaddyZakk420]

This is possibly the single fucking best thing I've found on youtube to date. Thank you !

[@Mistergorehound]

6 Years Later... Did ya find anything better? If so please share. Thank you.

[@nunyabizness6967]

Soo Punk Rock. My all-time favorite band right next to Circle Jerks.

[@ImTeddyPancake]

Thanks for your art Raymond! The art on the Black Flag fliers inspired me to draw as a kid, and the scathing commentary inspired me to think.

[@brianbirc]

Kieth Morris also GTA 5 DJ

[@midnightblackrose]

After watching this again I just realized how many times Raymond Pettibone and Flea say"Like you know" a lot of freaking times to point where I just start cracking up as soon as they say it.

[@idxcredit9210]

Henry wearing a King Casio, now that's fucking punk!!!!!

[@fallen88zero]

These Art of Punk episodes are great (if only they were a little longer),hoping they're not just leaving at three episodes,it'd be great to see more,The Misfits would be cool.

[@thisnameiseitherrestricted6270]

Well done.. Explained a lot of the dynamic that has always been somewhat of a mystery.

[@stacyblue1980]

Watched this on another site somewhere. Couple years ago. Its a good film. I like the interviews. It sticks with the subject. Love the Rollins and Morris interviews. Keith Morris is a lovely human being. BLESS♥

[@petermont]

Thank you for making this film

[@deathandcupcakes]

how is it greg ginn and his brother are responsible for one of the most powerful influential bands of the last half century and yet neither seem to be able to string together a coherent sentence....

[@6Mega6Man6]

Sometimes people are meant to communicate beyond words. Actions speak louder.

[@evanabbott2737]

Geniuses are usually eccentrics.

[@buddahGump]

People who are really deep artists have problems speaking with words. Their way is a canvas or whatever. Genius type people

[@crooked-halo]

Greg is a super-nice guy at shows, always hanging out before & after, surrounded with adoring fans wanting autographs & selfies, he looks really healthy & still shreds his guitar apart on stage. When he plays he looks almost possessed like he always has. I didn't want to play "Black Flag superfan" so I didn't talk to him but I hung out a few minutes nearby and, yeah, he has trouble with words like Ray and you can tell he's super-intelligent.

[@sirhenners204]

@@crooked-halo he’s a twat. he took all the royalties from the rest of the band.

[@davidkoenig8592]

Simply amazing...what else can I say. I was so influenced by Black Flag and Pettibon's art, made me want to make punk rock flyers...which I did. Wearing a Black Flag shirt in in school would get you sent to the principal's office...Looking forward to the rest of the series!!

[@bathrugby15]

I just love how Flea is being interviewed on his toilet.

[@cinemetalproductions]

This was amazing simply amazing

[@worthlessballsack722]

cool, Raw Nerve as backround music

[@djgforce11]

Flea was right Black Flag was a dangerous band to see back in the day I can attest to that being a survivor of both the Damaged & My War tours.

[@philipperholland]

Proudaya

[@RealRoknRollr3108]

Pettibone invented memes long before the internet came round.

[@manuelkong10]

I heard the band before I saw the logo or even knew their name but once I heard them in the middle of the night on Rodney on the Roc I HAD to hear more and was punk in an instant

[@pettibonnotginn]

Henry:No more loyal a compadre to Greg.Chuck, Keith, Flea...many others as well.I love my brother more than anything.Luyv .It's not Greg's fault--it's brain chemistry--and love,love,love will be returned w/hate.His enablers, his sychophants,on the other hand...y'all get the treatment yrselves...soon.Thnx Henry,Chuck,Keith,Flea.And love to Greg, my bro.

[@crooked-halo]

Wow, this really is from Raymond. I'm almost speechless...Thanks for your magnificent art!

[@setritsetritsetritsetrit]

Hi, Raymond!

[@jgilla82]

[@followinfantry6097]

This was hella great,thank you!

[@AlexanderLaurence]

On March 5, 1985, the Dickies were one of a number of California punk bands to play a very unexpected benefit show; other bands on the bill included the Circle Jerks, the Vandals, and D.I. The show's beneficiaries were the Cypress College Republicans.

[@DisappearHere]

Good reason to go back, watch it at full screen, and pause along the way :-)

[@totalrecordnerd1]

this is an amazing 22 minutes.

[@friendlywalrus6971]

Ray i ust want you to know that your six pack drawing is my favorite picture of all time.

[@xslauth92]

9:26 Henry's impersonation of Raymond is spot on lmfao

[@charliecrash3450]

Everyone who went to Rick Spellman's shop got inked with the four bars.

[@dennisbagwell667]

I wonder if Ray still gets a cut of Black Flag art that is used by Greg for BF.

[@californiapoontappa]

Dukowski is sitting there listening to Keith and thinking that doesnt sound right but maybe i feel that way too

[@kidmarowtv]

So amazing

[@GrinCentral]

Awesome!!

[@lionhartd138]

some people approach me and think my tattoo is an unimaginative cover-up, others (the cool ones), just nod or start telling me their favorite black flag story. Then there's the young who equate this with henry, and i have to educate them on the GOOD, the REAL, black flag.

[@josephrivas4762]

I'm still a teenager and I've never met anyone of my peers who associate black flag with Henry.

[@budofede8555]

Joseph rivas What's wrong about associating Black Flag with Henry Rollins?

[@josephrivas4762]

Nothing I just have never heard about someone putting the two that close together in their minds.

[@p4horror]

The REAL Black Flag to me was Greg, Henry, Kira and Bill. I'm not young, I got to see them several times in the mid 80s. When Henry was on vocals, it took BF to a whole other original innovative sound. So your opinion is just that, just an opinion.

[@coryhobbs7326]

Ive run into the same prob

[@pennywise247]

going to see Black Flag tonight in the vancouver!!!

[@Pattischolz]

Esse merece ir para os favoritos 😍

[@gregdahlen4375]

kind of funny i don't really like flag's music but i like the feeling and excitement associated with the band

[@organizedmessoffical3838]

It's black flag, flag is a different band with former members

[@gregdahlen4375]

OrganizedMessOffical sorry i did mean black flag i was just speaking aphoristically. Did have a dream where I joined black flag.

[@NoobSkaateTV]

I think the reason I enjoy the music is because of the energy

[@nightfighter7452]

Yeah, a lot of punk and hardcore sounds just awful by itself, but going to a show just for the pit is always worth it

[@newromantics3449]

Found it in a book called Turtles All The Way Down by John Green. Such a masterpiece :)

Iconic stuff......ty

[@brianmcmanus4286]

Nicely done. Cheers!

[@MikaelLewisify]

I find it interesting that none of these black flag docs include interviews with Greg Ginn. I don’t know if that’s because he won’t do interviews (?), but Greg Ginn IS black flag. There is no black flag without GG!

[@dankmansalley417]

I’m under the assumption he doesn’t wanna do any interviews with the other guys

[@crooked-halo]

Which is why I have absolutely ZERO issues with Black Flag still being a band and touring. After all, it is Greg Ginn's band. Frank Vallely (sp?) is pretty good on stage, too. Not great, but pretty damn good.

[@dankmansalley417]

Crooked Halo mike valley and yeah the problem with new black flag is they’re too slow for black flag

[@MikaelLewisify]

Dank mans alley...because bands are not allowed to evolve and grow?

[@dankmansalley417]

Mikael Lewis nah not that it’s their playing is slower that’s not an evolution or change

[@TheKorfish]

for some reason when I was younger I thought the logo tatted on henrys neck was a bar code.

[@seancallahan1312]

I had two different Black Flag shirts torn off of me in fights. The Slip It In shirt and the Cop with a gun in his mouth. I was attacked by "decent" people for having such horrible crap on me in public. I was 15 and 17 at the time. That's the sign of great art, when someone will just start punching you for displaying it. I was pissed to lose the shirts both times, but I loved to fight bullies, so it evened out.

[@KlausDoitschlaaand]

Wooo I have about eight Black Flag shirts. Favourite band forever!

[@jlayton2335]

in an old interview I think Keith once said they got the name from the bug spray

[@baker3person]

So good. Whats the song at 3:05?

[@noamdsgn202]

Raw Nerve - Hemlock no longer active, but they’re so fuckin’ good band, I think I heard another tune in the background which called ‘dating problems’ the bass player of raw nerve runs a small record label - Not Normal Tapes’ you can find some really cool stuff there :)

[@OliverPickard]

just awsome an amazing insight in to history! but i dont agree about black flag being more an art band because punk has rules punk is an ethos an attitude a way of life and personal expression the greatest punk bands are the ones that know there are no rules!

[@jameshampton3102]

So Henry was friends with Ian from Minor Threat? The more you know. :)

[@MikaelLewisify]

James Hampton they were close friends as teenagers.

[@TheFlameBladeWielder]

Henry's from D.C. just like Ian, he was in S.O.A.

[@crooked-halo]

It was Ian who encouraged/pushed Rollins to "try out" for vocalist of Black Flag. The BF song "Clocked in" came from that.

[@jameshampton3102]

@@crooked-halo From Henry joining? There are demos of Keith and Ron singing it though.

[@crooked-halo]

@@jameshampton3102 OK, so I'm surely wrong. I remember Rollins telling the story of how he was on his way to or from work when Ian asked him to jump up on stage and sing, or to try out. The song was Clocked In that apparently got Henry the job. I might be butchering the story, but I believe I heard that from the documentary "American Hardcore" or I might have heard it on a Black Flag documentary. You got me wondering so I'm gonna find it tonight & I'll come back & straighten it out.

[@SByrne1970]

wonderful

[@HitmanJenkins1]

He's on about Greg, because one of the guys asked where he was in this. Henry seems like a nice enough dude though, especially by comparison.

[@SPXclothing]

Great documentary! But this would have been so much better if they used Black Flag's music in it instead of random samples of whatever punk rock they used. I'd like to re-edit this and use all the music from the ep "Everything went black". It's only appropriate right? If they did this documentary would be incredible. By the way- Creepy Crawl !i!i

[@CallmeSergio]

dont get me wrong. Raw Nerve is a fantastic band, but why did you choose their music instead of actual Black Flag material? some issue with SST?
