Without Ginn, there would've been no Black Flag though, and no "Nervous Breakdown" or "TV Party" or "Rise Above" or "Slip It In" or any of the other great songs that Ginn wrote.
Without Black Flag, who knows what direction punk/hardcore would've gone in and who knows if Henry Garfield would've become "Henry Rollins" and gone on to bigger things (unlikely).
No SST Records either.

Lost interest when I read Greg Ginn's name.
Draft Barron Trump

Exciting news! Can’t wait to hear the new lineup live!

I love that Keith named one of his bands OFF!. It's also the name of a mosquito repellent.

When I wore a Black Flag t-shirt in the early 80s, people would joke about the kid with the bug spray t-shirt. They didn't get it.

hmmmmmmmm……
You asked a pretty question; I've given you the ugly answer.
Fasten Your Seatbelts….
It's Going To Be A Bumpy Night!

I forgot Mike was in the band. Can't say I heard him. I like his skateboarding and his personality. I'll have to check him out.

Keith was the first and best BF vocalist.
My ranking: Keith > Henry > Dez > Ron (Chavo) > Mike Vallely
They all had their good points. Mike might actually be better than Ron (better vocal range and Mike has a Rollins vibe to him), but Ron was the band's vocalist in The Decline of Western Civilization and on the classic Jealous Again EP, so there's that. He was only in the band briefly during 1980 and then came back for the terrible reunion album in 2013 and was subsequently fired by Mike (on Ginn's orders) during a show in Australia.
Ginn's post-BF work was always interesting but Black Flag will always be his best band. Gone was a good instrumental band he did in the mid-to-late 80s.

I'm not interested in anything Ginn does past the 80's.
His Black Flag reunion band sucked. The one with Keith was better. The only acceptable BF eras are Chuck, Dez, Keith, and Henry as singers.

Not really though I'm interested in hearing what this new lineup comes up with.
It can't be worse than the 2013 reunion with Reyes on vocals.

Are you excited?
