Brother C : I totally concur ! One of the very few American Punk Rock bands, that I dare say , can actully macth the Clash with their full on overall RAW POWER stage presence & energy . & animated candid offstage personaity to boot ! ( Plus : One has to love the bands absoulutly iconic " Skeleton with a Top Hat & martini & ciggeratte" trademark logo )

Still they stand the test of time. Saw them last year and I must say that sobriety fits Ness. He was in great shape, happy to belt out the greatest hits and looked good doing it.

Mike got in a fight with a skin at an Orlando show a zillion years ago. The dude could definitely hold his own.

-------------------------
I was right.

Hard to believe that at those shows, there were many out in the open nazis. Now, to quote Ice Cube, the KKK is wearing three piece suits. Fighting was more sport then. I can remember fighting some nazis at a Gwar show during a tattoo convention. Everybody was was pretty beat up and my buddy needed his shoulder relocated, I needed a few stitches above my eye and my roommate had a broken finger. We went to the hospital and were giving the fakest names just to make eachother laugh and we were covered in fake gwar blood and real. The nurses were a mix of scared and concerned. There was a Nazi skin in there too with his canine tooth through his cheek and we spread the rumor that he had aids. That meant an extra few hours for him. There were all kinds of non racist skinheads that jumped in too. A full on brawl that lasted maybe 90 seconds.
