His Facebook updates are a little whacked out, but this shit is off the charts.

Johnny_Whistle - 7-6-2012 at 10:04 PM

Ironically, his second to last post:

"Maturity is making peace with the past.....

I'm working on it...."

MattyA - 7-6-2012 at 10:10 PM

Wow, that is pretty fucked up.

MattyA - 7-6-2012 at 10:16 PM

I guess he stabbed Mike the Gook who is playing bass for the Cro-mags.

Six66Mike - 7-6-2012 at 10:23 PM

It's just amazing people still give any shit about this dude or the 500th incarnation of this band.

:thumbdown:

to all of it, start a new band, write new songs, grow old and smarten up.

Just let the band fucking die already.

What the hell is going on? The shit of the world has blown out "this thing of ours."

BKT.

Jon Joseph was just on theBryan Callen Show a few days ago and alluded to Harley still being a nutjob.

Six66Mike - 7-7-2012 at 07:53 AM

Some footage of the show being shutdown.

Maybe they wouldn't let Harley in for free.

Joking aside, I love the Cro-Mags (other than that horrific Near Death Experience album), but I really wish they would leave it all in the past and move on.

Advice I'd love to see them take.

I think John's on a mission ane it's his contention that he brought in the Krshna stuff. Which he's still about. At least he has the class not to write new songs and put it out as Cro-Mags. They only play AOQ and some Bad Brains covers.

Harley wouldn't do shit with it as a vehicle for any kind of message. Which is precisely what JJ is doing with it.

Also, I want more Bloodclot! songs.

actually, they were going to put out a new album with this line up and there were talks of bringing parris in, but it got scrapped.

http://exclaim.ca/News/cro-mags_harley_flanagan_claims_self-... Harley claims self defense

Yup, I showed up to a concert I probably shouldn't have been at, carrying a knife on me, then forced my way into a dressing room I definitely should not have been in and had to defend myself from a malicious group of attackers who sprung upon me with no provocation what soever.

Six66Mike - 7-12-2012 at 12:12 AM

lol retard.

Paulie's post about the fund for Mike on Facebook was great, and the response to some dude asking about the Harley defence fund.

bombidol - 7-12-2012 at 10:16 PM

Listen, I know John. Im not going to say im his mate or whatever. But we have hung out a few times and talked about whatever. Whatever violence was in his life, I think hes over it. Dude just wants to cycle and eat green shit. Hes happy being on stage and doing his thing.
I've never met Harley, I can only go by what im told and what I see of him online. Dudes fucking mental in my eyes. He doesnt seem to be all there in the head.
Again, this is all from a casual outsider to this whole cro mags thing. in an ideal world, yeah, would be great if they ever got together and made music. BUT, im thinking thats the end of it now.

interesting article by American Hardcore author on Harley's side of the story, which hadn't really been told yet

clevohardcore - 7-24-2012 at 01:25 PM

Wow.

JawnDiablo - 7-24-2012 at 02:40 PM

so what song has 2 minutes worth of threats directed at Harley?

barc0debaby - 7-24-2012 at 08:18 PM

I like how he is plugging his own movie by the third paragraph.

"It's true that at the CBGB Festival screening of American Hardcore earlier that day Flanagan was irked by his former band's snub of his offer to do a song together that night, but that makes sense."

random - 7-24-2012 at 11:33 PM

The movie thing seems relevant. It explains how Harley got a press pass. John Joseph already mentioned that he warned the club not to let Harley in and that he ended up getting the press pass that gave him unlimited access to the venue.

Still not clear to me how any of the explanation explains taking a knife to a show without the belief that you may need to stab a motherfucker though.

I was wondering the same thing.

Wow that was god awful. With the crew's past history and this video, Harley could have a chance to beat the charges. If he said he was attacked and feared for his life, it might put doubt in a jury's head.

JawnDiablo - 7-25-2012 at 11:37 AM

While I know some of you guys are into this stuff, I just have to wonder at what age do grown men outgrow being thugs and yapping about beating, stabbing and killing and stuff.....

Discipline - 7-25-2012 at 01:34 PM

^^^ What he said.

A novel approach would be to channel this energy into actually writing music that's listenable since 99.9% of NYHC blows baby goats.

I'm not saying this in a racist way, so don't take me wrong, but that honky nigger thuggish ruggish shit has ZERO to do with anything I enjoy about hardcore punk rock. If I wanna hear some gangstered out HC I'll do it proper with Body Count.

I just don't get the allure of "thug" "guns" and "drugs". Never have. Too each their own and I have always had really nice experiences with Ezek when I met him at shows. Crazy nice guy. I just can't get down with the rap songs.

clevohardcore - 7-27-2012 at 12:55 PM

That shit sucks.
