The biggest help I've received so far was in sending and organizing all the
information, giving me a general idea of that time.
For that I must really thank: Katz (Hated Principals), Marco
Soverini, Chris BCT, Brian GTA, Ron Goudie...
Below you can find the index of recollections and who am I looking for....
Protagonists and famous people recollections
Here is a list of all the recollections that (former or current) members
of the bands sent me. I invite everyone who was a protagonist of the Hardcore
California scene, to write me their memories
and opinions about:
* The scene and the bands in general (read here
to know my doubts)
* If their were in a band, I'm really interested in knowing their influences,
targets and their "musical choices" like what brought their band
to have that sound etc...
I won't select only those that are enthusiastic about HC. But I don't want
people throwing shit to each other, either...
If you have problems (like you don't won't stg to be posted here anymore)
contact me.
PS: Please note that most of the extensive comments I've received so far
are from people and bands that "weren't so much on the hardcore side".
And this is NOT because I asked only their opinions :PPP
So all you great foundators of HardCore, please don't be stuck-up and let
me know your positive ideas about this genre!!
I'm looking for allies out there :PP
Derrik Bolstrom (Meat Puppets): here about his band & the punk scene in California.
Jack Grisham (T.S.O.L): here about his bands; here about the Black Flag.
Jimmy Schmith (Crucifix): here's very little by him.
Thanks so much, again, to all the contributors and band members...
I'd like to have also a contact to reach those people: Greg Ginn, Bruce Pavitt, Bo Clifford, Mike Watt, Lorna from the Germs, Rick Anderson, someone from Middle Class...
