Free Music Notes for Germicide: Live at the Whiskey 77
Free Music Review: Yes...
Hit: 5 Stars
This album is a very early portrayal of the Germs. However, it is also incredibly powerful in capturing the obliviousness of the band. They had no idea that this one, unexpected show at the Whisky would lead to so much more. Darby's comments are more than amusing, the story of what happened afterwards is hilarious, and the whole feel of it makes you think you were there (and if you were, you are lucky, unless you were the one cleaning up afterwards). Musically, well, I listened to it on cassette, and it is not as good as the CD, but I still find it to be one of my favorites. I have this recording on cassette, and I listen to it very often. While the music is not fully developed in some people's points of view, it is certainly an excellent live album to me. A wonderful buy for any Germs fan.Free Music Review: a wonderfully chaotic record
Hit: 5 Stars
This is one of the Germs' first gigs, and it shows. Although they later became rather good (conventionally speaking), this is the band in their rawest form. Miserably, mindlessly simple drums and sparsely plucked bass in the background and painfully, brazenly sloppy guitars and drunkenly slurred vocals in the foreground abound on this record. The lyrics are poetic and profound (when you can hear and/or understand them.) This is perhaps THE most shiningly beautiful piece of punk rock available, quintessential to anyone who really cares about the spirit of rock and roll, not necessarily the sound. So imperfect, it's flawless. Listen without pretensions, and you will be blown away.Free Music Review: Darby = Punk God
Hit: 5 Stars
If you give this less than 5 stars and if you don't think the Germs were one of the most influential punk bands of all time then you have no right to listen to punk. Darby Crash and The Germs show what punk should be like...raw...not steril and precise like today's "punk" bands. So what is you don't have talent that's not what punk is about! MIA is an essential album for any punker's collection if you don't already have it. If your really into the Germs get the book Lexicon Devil, then try to find a living Circle One member to give you a Germs burn. THE GERMS WILL NEVER DIEFree Music Review: Great live recording
Hit: 5 Stars
If you wanna own any live Germs material this is it. The songs even though the recording isn't exactly professional , it's 100 times better than alot of the bootlegged and imported live material. Be sure to get the MIA: THE COMPLETE ANTHOLOGY too. Avoid Media Blitz which is a horribly recorded import.Free Music Review: A must for any SoCal Punk fan. Does not sound pretty!
Hit: 5 Stars
The Germs have been an influential part of many bands including: The Go-Go's, Blondi, and the Foo-Fighters, along with other SoCal punk bands like X, Black Flag, etc.
