I'm the opposite. I love AOF, but could never get into the Circle Jerks. I've never been a fan of Keith Morris. He's my least favortie Black Flag
vocalist.newbreedbrian - 2-7-2008 at 12:01 AM
you're both crazy
I'm equally surprised at both of those statements, considering what i know about you guys. early AOF is fucking stellar, and when i was a little
older, i "got" their later stuff now i love it. as for keith morris, i got alotta love for early flag/circle jerks. even his later efforts ala
"american heavy metal weekend" at least have some comedic value Discipline - 2-7-2008 at 12:07 AM
Keith Morris is the only BlacK Flag vocalist I don't like.tireironsaint - 2-7-2008 at 01:01 AM
The only bad thing I can say about Keith Morris is that he has not aged well at all. Dreadlocks and combovers don't mix. I'll take Keith over Henry
era Black Flag any day of the week and if the choice came down to any Black Flag album against any Circle Jerks album as far as what I'm gonna listen
to, I'll go with the Jerks nine times outta ten. Don't get me wrong, I have a lotta love for Black Flag, at least up to a certain era, but I'd say
there's so many more great Circle Jerks records than there are Black Flag ones. That's certainly not to say that every Jerks record is great or even
good, there's definitely a couple of clunkers in there, but I think their best stuff is head and shoulders above the majority of the Black Flag
catalog.
As far as AOF is concerned, I've just never heard anything that held my attention. I've been recommended the band many times and have checked them out
repeatedly, but nothing I've heard has been more than mediocre at best. Maybe there's a specific album or song that somebody can recommend that would
change my mind, but I haven't heard anything that even rates as memorable from them yet.newbreedbrian - 2-7-2008 at 07:45 AM
that AOF clip isn't the best representation, there's just not alot of stuff on youtube of them. there's two cd's out called complete 1 and 2. 1's got
their first single as well as the give thanks LP and some comp tracks. 2's got the in this life album and and the wait ep. check em out even if you
only download the 1st one and delete it after one listen. more interesting stuff than alot of the more generic bands around at the time.XHonusWagnerX - 2-7-2008 at 09:35 AM
Keith Morris is my favorite Black Flag vocalist by far... also as much as I love Henry, hes my least favorite.
