you guys are fast. We just got this up a few minutes ago and you are already voting.

this will be fun

That is a cool pic. Where is that from? Just wondering...

that's 924 gilman. it's called the gilam project or just gilman. It's where alot of bands got big in the early 80's. green day, op ivy, rancid. it's a club that you had to pay a two dollar membership fee then a few bucks to get in. A place in the middle of a shit street in berekely california covered on the inside with spraypaint. The didn't book anyone who was on a major label or anyone who showed their face on tv. That and bekeley square were the big clubs back then for punk rock. Berkeley square is gone, and yes, I have a story about that place, but Gilman is still around.

924 gilman

Oh come on...only 2 percent for Dead Kennedys? The humanity!

ya that's weird. i just posted about op ivy.

if you look on the inside pics of the op ivy cd, thats the gilman

also if you look on the the inside pics of the dwarves "blood guts and pussy" thats the gilman.

ya but in my ever so awesome music collection op ivy cd = op ivy tape, but ya it's still in there.

these were the west coast versions of CBGBs

Where's the Dead Milkmen? Don't you know what the queers are doing to our soil?!?

there was also fab mab but that was before my time

dead milkmen are 85. Big lizard i asume you are talking about. They will be on the next poll. This is 80-84. If you have any complaints or if you think we forgot one or two, we didn't forget them.

You did.

We sit back and eat chili dogs and let you guys go at it.

Rob, I'll be doing a thing on Big Lizard in just a bit.

All this talk about chili-dogs makes me hungry for one.. or 3.

chili dogs have been kind of a recurring theme around here. they opened a new der winerschinzel down the street.

so all my posts are gonna have a mention of

A) Michele

B) Chili dogs

Cause i like them both

i'll get over the dogs but not the girl

and i can't spell for shit today

I can't believe I forgot to nominate The Static Age in the 70s one because it's so much better than Walk Among Us.

Always preferable to not being able to shit for a spell, though.

tim i know but legacy of brutality is coming

whaaa?

what year was legacy?

i thought that was like 83 or 82.

did we miss that?

Legacy was 85, babe.

85. It'll be in the next one.

Oh now Fresh Fruit starts getting votes. I guess the Cherry Red copy I bought last week is worth something!

i think the Olympic Auditorium is a better cousin for CBGBs than the Doll Hut. The Olympic and Al's Bar. Doll Hut was either before my time or after i left LA, because we never went there. I don't even remember hearing about it ever. Maybe it's in my head somewhere, but currently i don't know anything about it.

West coast cousin to CBGB's? During my early days ('78~'80) we spent most of our time at The Whiskey and the Starwood. I think the quality of the bands and the drugging would have equalled, if not bettered, CBGB's. '80~'82 when the scene in OC really picked-up, The Cuckoos Nest was the place to be. There was a spot in Fullerton too, but I forgot the name.

see now there ya go. By the time i got into it, like 83, i was 13 and those places wouldn't let me in anyway. Not for lack of trying. My friends and i got booted from almost every bar in Hollywood that had music and then would find someone to buy us some 40s and just find a good place to drink and then either hoof it/bus it back to the South Bay or sleep in a nice alcove somewhere.

But the Olympic- man that place was legendary in SoCal.

whiskey was hollywood. i never really went there. In that time frame, motely crue and poison had taken it over. But see, I wasn't down there then so I can't say shit. Gilman was huge in Berekely. Doll Hut I will admit was a little later.

But to see Social Distortion play to 50 people on a warm up set before their tour was cool.

Cuckoos nest was something that was long gone before I got there.

oh come on

scream and stiff little fingers?

someone is going nuts out there

you see that basket over there?

thats where you turn in your "I am a Man" card.

This is a punk rock vote. Not some manufactured bullshit vote.

anyone who wants to have a say, fight back and vote!

Consider me part of the Misfits alliance. I don't want to go overboard but I threw a couple more votes their way, since Earth A.D. only had one (???) vote.

I am a dyed in the wool member of the Misfits alliance and unashamedly have thrown plenty of votes their way. It was fun when it was two or three at a time, but suddenly these other guys had 50.

someone is going crazy with the clicking, cullen

we will sort this out in a few hours

if it is one person making 50 votes, we will pull them off

Mouse masturbation kinda ruins this whole thing and makes it not fun

Yea, when we say go crazy with the vote, we assume people will not go crazy enough to just ruin the fucking thing.

heh you know its looking like the record collection of a trendypunk. Misfits, DK, Black Flag.

Well, i come back and vote on my favorite 5 or 6 every couple of hours so that's alright with me, mama.

Damaged deserved this one.

ONWARD DEAD MILKMEN TO VICTORY!
