Rikk Agnew is a very under-talked about guitarist. He played with Adolescents, he wrote all the music for the best death rock album ever made: Only Theatre or Pain, and was on the only D.I. albums that I ever liked: Team Goon, Horse Bites, Dog Cries, and Ancient Artifacts. The dude knew how to compose timeless songs.

Classic D.I is some of the best American punk out there still. Same with Adolescents, blue album. Aggnews solo stuff is fucking solid aswell. Such a talent and a punk,musical visionary. Legend if you will. For a live set the quality is good, still got that rawness that makes it gritty n punk rock.Poor fella still struggling with alcoholism. Same as myself, so I understand. But yeah as you say,his talent def underrated. Kids of the black hole still my fave Adolescents tune,always will be. Would of loved to of been at this gig. 80s punk gigs ,well what else can you say??
@paulosicne8498 Жыл бұрын
@@colddaze6680 I agree man. I'm an older coot of 52 years old. I did get to see some crazy shows in the 80s. I did see Adolescents open for FEAR and Toy Dolls in Hollywood somewhere in 1991 or 1992 (I know it was the very early 90s). Yeah years ago I discovered his solo album All By Myself. Damn it's killer. I didn't realize he pre-released O.C. Life and Falling Out, prior to being in D.I. I know Agnew really abused alcohol, which is why he became heavy-set physique-wise. But I thought he stopped because he was having health issues. Yeah bro, addiction is an ugly thing. At 52 years old, I hop back and forth with beer, and smoking. I'll quit for periods, but then binge. Addiction is no joke. Well hang in there bro with any addictions you're struggling with. When I'm able to stay clean, it's usually when I occupy myself with a project. Take care of yourself.

@@reidellis1988 I'm with you, I was 13 during this era. In Milwaukee, we had all ages shows on the weekends at Yano's and Cafe Voltaire (which became the Odd Rock) along with various VFW Post type places. This footage is prime example of how dangerous hardcore/punk was. Nothing like LA with their gang stabbings and shit, but I saw my fair share of heads getting kicked in. Also, the pit wasn't as fucking sterile as it is today, I see shit from today, everyone is just running in circles, faux punching the air. Can't tell you how many black eyes, bloody cuts and other shit I got, and I was a big dude (still am). As corny as Mike Ness sounds nowadays when he gives his "back when punk was dangerous" speech at shows, he is right. I cant stand watching "mosh pits" from contemporary bands. Pu$$ies.

This really is cool stuff. Being a San Francisco punk we had that stupid rivalry with LA. We couldn't match the L.A. scene for.its sheer size. Seemed like there was always a show I wanted to catch in the Southland. We had the DKs and the Avengers to.name a few but the best shows were usually an LA band playing up in the Bay Area. The Adolescents almost never played up in SF. I was always a big fan of them. One of the best shows I ever saw was Black Flag with Henry Rollins and Suicidal Tendencies at Ruthie's Ballroom in Berkeley 1984. The biggest circle pit I'd ever seen. A few times we'd go to the Cuckos Nest and almost always there was a big fight after with the cowboys from Zubies. We had our problems in SF with the black people from The Palladium snd almost always lead to a large scale brawl with lots of cops on Briadway at our punk meca the Mab.

Both great bands though this era of Adolescents is unstoppable. Never seen any footage of the peak lineup. Agent Orange is still a great live band and the second album had some classic songs, even though it wasn't a punk record. One of the band members warned me not to mention the Living in Darkness "reissue" or Posh Boy to him. Both great bands.
