0:57

I'm not going to argue with you, I

0:59

do realize the importance of

1:01

that record and the greatness of that

1:03

record, but it took me, I

1:06

didn't want to listen to Neil Young, I

1:08

wanted to listen to Uriah Heap, I wanted

1:10

to listen to Black Sabbath, I wanted to

1:13

listen to Ted Nugent, you motherfuckers, if you

1:15

don't like this you can get the, turn

1:17

around and get the fuck out! You

1:21

1:26

You remember? Trouble

1:32

is homies start like, join

1:34

damn Yankee. Yeah, join like

1:37

hunter people, camouflage

1:39

gun-bearing, camouflage gun-bearing people.

1:42

Straight up bad music.

1:47

The rock and roll time travel erases

1:50

his accomplishments from the world of

1:52

positivity because of rock and roll

1:54

time travel. You know I almost

1:56

bought that Amboy Dukes album today,

1:58

we were shopping a over here at

2:00

the record store, Damian and I,

2:03

and I picked up that Amboy Dukes

2:05

album with Journey to the Center of

2:07

Your Mind, which is an amazing song.

2:10

What was the album after Free For All? Was

2:13

it Cat Scratch Fever? I

2:15

think so, yeah. I mean, I'm cool up

2:17

through and including Double Live Gonzo, and then

2:19

after that, I'm so done with that. And

2:22

then, of course I did. And

2:25

then when he did all his weird Republican

2:27

shit, then I was like extra special done

2:29

with him. You know he's always been like

2:31

that. He just like... Yeah, but he didn't

2:33

have to rub it in our face. He just kept it on

2:35

the down low. He knew how

2:37

to market himself back then. He'd have to rub it

2:39

in our fucking face. Right.

2:42

So, I guess this is gonna be the

2:45

coolest episode of Turn Out of Punk Ever, because

2:48

this is just gonna be... No, no, this is

2:50

just me. Oh, this is really great so

2:52

far. This is awesome. This is amazing.

2:54

What are you talking about? This is incredible. It's

2:58

like every dream, we're

3:00

all like super smart and stuff and

3:02

really insightful, yeah. So, hey look, I

3:04

ran into the oldest stern brother at

3:08

the Starbucks in the Golden Nugget when

3:10

we were at Las Vegas Punk Rock

3:12

Bowling this last time. And he asked

3:14

me how I was doing, and I

3:16

looked at him and I was like

3:18

really run down. I hadn't

3:20

got my coffee yet, and

3:22

he was all jazzed. He

3:25

was psyched because he'd got his coffee.

3:27

And I said, dude, I'm feeling like I'm

3:30

61 years old. And

3:35

we started to converse a little bit more.

3:37

And then I

3:39

will be in a couple of months. Oh

3:42

fuck, why did I think... Oh, it doesn't. Why

3:44

didn't you think, what did you think? I was

3:46

41 or 31? I

3:48

was like 39, I don't know. Hold

3:50

on, hold on. You were 69. You

3:54

used to be seven years older than me. So

3:56

I'm... I think you're still seven years old. Yeah, yeah,

3:58

yeah, yeah, I'm just saying. When we were kids, I was

4:01

eight and you were like about to, you were in the

4:03

middle of high school

4:11

when I was eight. Okay. So you're eight years older

4:13

than me. Okay. I'm going

4:15

to be 53 in a while and you're going to be 61. Perfect.

4:19

Okay. I like it. Next

4:21

question. It adds up. It

4:23

adds up. Well, but I didn't get to finish,

4:26

but I'm having this conversation with the oldest

4:28

of the Stern brothers and he looked at

4:31

me and he said, Keith, what else would

4:33

you be doing? Well,

4:36

you had a good paralegal career on the way. You were

4:38

going to be an attorney, right? No,

4:40

you're thinking of lucky. Your

4:43

counter. I'm not thinking of lucky. Your

4:45

counterpart in the circle juror. He's no

4:47

paralegal leader. That guy's the actual real

4:50

deal lawyer. No, he's not. No,

4:53

he's not. How could you be 50 and

4:56

not pass the bar? Lucky

4:58

layerr. How could you be 50

5:00

and not pass the bar? Because

5:03

the California state bar exam is one

5:05

of the toughest. There's plenty,

5:07

plenty fucking attorneys out there and

5:10

they're not 50. So

5:13

the way I do this podcast normally is I find out

5:15

how people got in a punk and we just kind of

5:18

go from there. We're not doing it like that. No, we're

5:20

not. No, we're not. Not at all. But

5:22

I do want to talk. We got to figure out how

5:24

we're getting out of. I do want to talk to Getho

5:27

about seeing the Stooges at the Whiskey and

5:30

was that like a pivotal moment? No,

5:32

you need to have billion on this

5:34

conversation because he's going to tell you

5:37

that Metallic KO is the

5:39

greatest live album ever recorded.

5:42

Really? Oh yeah. More

5:44

than Kick Out the Jams? Even

5:46

more than Intensities in Two Cities

5:49

or Ten Cities or... More

5:51

fucking... What's the

5:53

motivation of what? It comes alive. It comes

5:56

alive? Yeah. Where's

5:58

the fire? More

6:01

than that? Birds of Fire? New

6:04

Orchestra? No, no, no, no effects

6:06

Birds of Fire Keith. Crap

6:10

Birds of Fire. So

6:15

Bill, do you honestly, do you think Metal KO is

6:17

the best live record of all time? Oh

6:21

I do. I fucking do. How did

6:23

you know that? He just said it. I just said

6:25

it because he was asking me. No, but it fucking

6:27

is. What's better

6:29

than that? That's the best thing in the whole world. How

6:31

many times did we listen to that in a row over

6:33

and over and over again? Why

6:36

do you think? When

6:38

you put the speakers out the window or put them on

6:40

the roof, you know, to just fuck with the neighbors. Why

6:44

do you think when Greg

6:46

Ginn said we're going to

6:48

cover Femme

6:50

Fatale by the Velvet

6:54

Underground, I'm

6:56

not singing that song. I'm

6:58

singing Louie Louie. Wait,

7:02

so it could have been Femme Fatale? It

7:04

would have never been Femme Fatale. I

7:08

was not going to sing that song.

7:10

I'm not Greg Ginn's puppet.

7:16

Chuck, are you Greg Ginn's puppet?

7:18

No. I most definitely am not.

7:21

Or was I ever? That

7:23

would change the history of music though, I

7:25

think, if Femme Fatale had been the set

7:28

closer tonight. Oh, it's a decent song.

7:30

It's a great song. It's not partying.

7:32

It's not Louie Louie. It's not partying

7:34

at all. No. It's

7:37

like an anti-party song. It's like, you

7:39

know, I'm fucked up and

7:41

bummed because, you know, my

7:46

thing with the girls isn't working right.

7:48

That's what. Yeah. So

7:50

what that one's all about. Do you remember the first

7:52

time you met all these guys?

7:55

Well, I met Billy at my dad's

7:57

store. Billy would come in. You

8:00

know, I've known Billy since he was eight years old. Just

8:04

like earlier when we were talking over

8:06

breakfast, I've known

8:08

Stephen McDonald since he was 11 years old.

8:12

The McDonald brothers came into the

8:14

Black Flag rehearsal space and

8:17

we told them, you can't

8:19

continue to call your band

8:21

the tourists because that's too

8:24

wimpy. There's nothing punk

8:26

rock about that. I thought the

8:28

tourists was a good name. Well,

8:31

that's the Arrhythmics, pretty Arrhythmics band.

8:33

Danny Lennox and Dave Stewart's band.

8:35

Then Chuck and

8:37

Greg suggested that

8:39

the McDonald brothers play

8:41

our equipment to

8:44

prove their punk rocketness

8:46

or their manliness or

8:49

how large their testicles were.

8:53

And Stephen, who

8:56

they're now like tall

8:58

enough to be professional basketball players.

9:00

I think that means that you have really

9:02

big dicks if you're tall. No,

9:07

it's your shoe size.

9:11

That's how they measure

9:13

a man's package

9:17

by his shoe size. I

9:21

like Greek kind. I like Greek yogurt. What about the

9:23

other kind of yogurt? I'm not a

9:25

big fan. But what, in the Greek they have

9:27

economic problems. You think you can get those economic

9:29

problems like... Are

9:31

economic problems contagious from the yogurt? I think

9:34

it's the second ackee, that flaming cheese. It

9:37

takes a lot of resources to light that cheese on fire every

9:39

time. That's what it is? Burning cheese?

9:41

Burning cheese. I grew up in the Greek

9:43

neighborhood in Toronto, so I have

9:45

a lot of experience with Greek food.

9:47

Burning cheese? Burning cheese, definitely. So

9:49

what about... So they'll come

9:51

to your dad's store and...

9:55

At a certain point, Billy, I

9:58

would be listening to the... radio

10:00

and I would

10:02

always because my dad would listen to

10:04

jazz and when whenever my dad wasn't

10:06

around knac

10:09

yeah knac loud rock blue

10:12

oyster colt zz top david bowie

10:21

and peter frampin and

10:23

uraya he deep purple you

10:26

know all of that kind of stuff

10:28

you know stuff that would bum our parents

10:31

out and billy would hear

10:33

something and go keith who's dad and

10:36

say billy that's an album that you

10:38

need to go out and purchase for

10:41

10:45

13:04

in that front room at the church.

13:07

In the pool table room? Before

13:10

the pool table or after

13:13

the pool table. I think it's probably before.

13:20

room? Wait what? The

13:23

south east room.

South east room. It

13:30

would have been facing the Altedina Dairy.

13:32

Oh yeah yeah okay. Yeah alright alright.

13:35

You know right there when you go

13:37

in the front door. You like where

13:39

13:46

mean before that. I

13:49

mean he got sick and had food

13:51

14:18

Nolte dumped her and then Dave Nolte

14:20

14:41

15:06

red and Stimpy right?

15:11

Beavis and butthead Yeah,

15:16

actually we're kind of like that because

15:19

one guy you know, it's Jerry and

15:21

Obie That's

15:25

that's above everybody that's listening to yeah, I

15:27

was like that you guys lost me on

15:30

that one Jerry is

15:32

my dad And

15:35

OB OB

15:37

hey Billy, you know

15:39

OB's history He

15:42

was black ops. Yeah, he was black ops He

15:44

was one of the first guys sent into Vietnam

15:46

to scope it out and say this is what

15:48

we need to do This is where we need

15:51

to go. These are the people we need to

15:53

fuck with OB came back though when

15:55

he came. I mean he thought he was God. He

15:57

told me that he was God. Well, oh

16:00

Also, he

16:04

there were five of them that were sent in

16:07

five of these black ops. These

16:10

are the first guys to go.

16:12

The first guys to go into

16:14

Vietnam that represented the United States.

16:17

God. Yeah. And

16:20

the final order, their, their final order was

16:22

that they were, none of them were supposed

16:24

to come back from Vietnam. They were, they

16:26

were all supposed to kill each other. Wow.

16:30

And he came back and he was completely

16:32

out of his mind. He lived downtown LA

16:34

and he would wrap every night before he

16:36

went to bed, he would wrap himself from

16:39

head to toe in foil because

16:41

he thought that there were

16:44

like secret service agents

16:47

on all of the

16:49

rooftops around the

16:51

hotel where he lived shooting

16:53

him with these cancerous

16:56

rays or. The

16:59

guy was out of his mind and he was,

17:01

he could be a real sweetheart and then just

17:03

snap in a second. How'd you guys know this

17:05

guy about being out of your mind? And

17:08

that's a good question. Jerry let

17:10

him stay there. What was the arrangement? No,

17:14

he would, he

17:16

would ride the bus from downtown

17:19

LA fish on the

17:21

pier. Then he would

17:23

sit in the store all day. He

17:26

would keep us out of his mind. He

17:30

was living down to somebody up in

17:32

the rafters. That was

17:34

Raymond Ray,

17:36

not Ray, not like the pier.

17:38

Ray. Yeah. The

17:41

pier. Ray lived in the

17:44

upstairs. Yeah. You

17:46

mean the church? No. Yeah.

17:49

No. OB was never up there.

17:52

He was too big to get up there. Ray.

17:55

You know, without the guy with all missing

17:57

all of his kids. they

18:00

would eat steak like he would

18:02

just gum that steak down. What

18:11

you're doing is you're getting a history of my

18:13

dad's store. You're

18:15

getting the prehistory

18:17

of pre South Bay,

18:20

pre-punk, pre-that. So

18:22

were there fans? Were you guys into local bands?

18:24

Were there any local bands? The

18:27

last, yeah. Yeah, all

18:29

of the local bands besides the

18:31

last were all cover bands. They were

18:34

all top 40 bands. And

18:36

the reason why we gravitated

18:39

towards the Alley Cats who were in

18:41

La Mida, who we also

18:43

kind of considered to be a local

18:45

band. Oh yeah. And

18:47

the last was because they

18:49

were the only

18:52

bands with any

18:54

creativity. Like they were

18:56

the band that stood up and said, this

18:58

is what we do. And

19:03

if you don't like it, that's the way that it

19:05

is. So be it. Was Rhino 39 from Long Beach?

19:09

I somehow always harbored a

19:12

kinship with them because I don't know, I

19:14

just felt like they were one of us. They're

19:16

drummer or wouldn't become our drummer? Wouldn't

19:21

Long Beach be, couldn't

19:23

we consider? I

19:26

think that wasn't good enough. He wasn't way

19:29

enough. Yeah, I like his

19:31

plan. Everybody's

19:33

doing the Perlicks and stuff. Both

19:36

bump and tenon. No compromise,

19:38

no compromise. No compromise,

19:40

no compromise, no compromise. Yeah,

19:43

yeah. What about the

19:45

Quitch though? I know

19:47

39. And the officials grew him up to me

19:49

as their personality. Wonder what you want to be.

19:51

What is that? The

19:54

reason why we're here is because we're

19:56

here. We're here to help you. Then

20:00

we had a kinship with

20:02

Rhino 39 was

20:05

because we could consider

20:07

Long Beach to be

20:09

the most southern

20:11

tip of the South

20:13

Bay. Before

20:16

you go to the northern tip of

20:18

Orange County? Yeah, you

20:20

know, six of one, half a dozen of the

20:22

other. Apples or oranges? I think Orange County goes

20:24

all the way to Marina del Rey, but that's

20:27

a better outlook. Orange

20:29

County goes all the way to Marina del Rey.

20:34

So was there like a divide though between like,

20:36

you know, like Rhino 39 is definitely also more

20:38

of an aggressive band? Like more? Whoa,

20:41

whoa, whoa. No, no, Northern Black Flag. I

20:43

mean, but I mean, like, because they had

20:46

clean guitars. Yeah, they sounded like bad. Like

20:49

the minimum and the descendants. It's not like the

20:51

quick though, or not the nerves or like those.

20:53

That's different. The quick.

20:55

I bought my first drum set. It said the quick

20:57

on the bass drum. So I guess

20:59

it was, it was the quick. You bought

21:01

it from Danny Binaire? I don't know who

21:03

I bought it from. I bought it, you

21:06

know, the recycler. Remember the recycler? Danny Binaire

21:10

told one of the greatest

21:12

stories I'd ever heard about

21:16

how his older brother

21:19

who was like 18 years old, dragged

21:22

him to see the

21:25

Rolling Stones at

21:27

Altamont. He

21:30

was five years old. His

21:32

brother said, I can't find, I can't

21:34

find a babysitter. You're just coming along

21:37

with me. Get in the car. And

21:39

they drove up to Altamont and

21:42

somehow managed to get past all

21:44

the people. The two of them

21:46

walked in the back gate. Just

21:49

walked in and there they are, you know,

21:51

six of one, half a dozen of the

21:53

other apples and oranges. All the way

21:55

to Marina del Rey, but that's, that's a

21:57

better outlook. He

22:00

goes all the way to Marina though, right? Yeah. So

22:04

was there like a divide though between like, you

22:07

know, like Rhino 39, it's definitely also more of

22:09

an aggressive band. Like- Wait,

22:12

more? Whoa, whoa, whoa. Not Northern Black Flag, I mean,

22:14

but I mean like- No, no, no, no, because they

22:16

had clean guitars. Yeah. They sounded

22:18

like- Bad. Like the Minutemen and

22:20

the Descendants. It's not like the Quick though, or not the

22:22

Nerves, or like those- Oh, okay, that's different. The Quick, I

22:25

bought my first drum set. It said the Quick

22:27

on the bass drum. So I

22:29

guess it was the Quick- Whoa, you bought

22:31

it from Danny Binaire? I don't know who

22:33

I bought it from. I bought it from,

22:35

you know, the Recycler, remember the Recycler? Danny

22:37

Binaire told

22:41

one of the greatest stories

22:43

I'd ever heard about

22:46

how his older brother,

22:49

who was like 18 years old,

22:52

dragged him to see

22:54

the Rolling Stones at

22:57

Altamont. Whoa, he

23:00

was five years old. His

23:02

brother said, I can't find a babysitter.

23:06

You're just coming along with me.

23:08

Get in the car. And they

23:10

drove up to Altamont and somehow

23:12

managed to get past all the

23:14

people. The two of them walked

23:16

in the back gate, just walked

23:18

in. And there they are on

23:20

the side of the stage when

23:22

the Rolling Stones are playing. What

23:26

year? That's like 1969. That was the end of the- 1969

23:30

okay, all across the USA. That

23:32

signaled the end of the Summer

23:34

of Love. The

23:38

Rolling Stones said, sympathy

23:41

for the devil. Fuck

23:43

your peace and love. Well,

23:47

I guess, and Manson too, right?

23:49

That was the same

23:51

moment. So were

23:54

you into the nerves and the quickening stuff?

23:56

24:00

33:56

you wanna call it a conversation

33:58

was like us on sundays kind

34:00

of a history. I mean, you're

34:02

getting Keith's perspective. And then I'm

34:05

younger than them,

34:07

meaning Keith and Chuck here,

34:10

and Greg, and Robo,

34:12

especially Robo. But not

34:14

Isaac. You know, but

34:16

not Isaac. I mean, Isaac's in the

34:19

room. Isaac's the kid. I'm

34:21

even older. You're

34:23

getting a little bit of what's

34:29

not written in books. Yeah,

34:32

and that's the stuff that I think everyone that listens to the show,

34:34

and that's the stuff I care about. You know, like

34:36

I want to hear about the stuff that you can't

34:39

find out about as people need it. You know, and

34:41

I don't know if I would like to see a

34:43

book, but I know it right here. And

34:46

it was me and Ron, like Bill

34:49

said. We heard that we showed

34:51

up. We heard this

34:53

band Panic was practicing at a

34:55

church. But they're

34:57

maybe going to change it. Ron told

34:59

me this. Maybe going to

35:01

change their name to Black Flag. And

35:04

then we

35:06

had seen Robo

35:09

up on

35:11

aviation with

35:14

his core team up putting something. That's

35:17

the drummer. And that's what you guys

35:19

used to play up on aviation. Can

35:21

you do his trunk? Perhaps.

35:28

But the world's supposed to say

35:30

that. He's

35:34

not here to defend himself. We can

35:36

say whatever we want. And he lives

35:38

in Columbia anyway, so go ahead. And

35:45

don't blame the beer. Yeah,

35:48

but at the time he was living in El Segundo.

35:52

And you know how he got into the country.

35:55

Because he was a student. Yeah, he

35:57

was a... exchange

36:01

student. He was supposed to

36:03

be going to UCLA. Like

36:06

Harvard College or something?

36:11

El Camino. El

36:14

Segundo junior high. We went

36:18

to the University of punk rock instead. So

36:21

he graduated from that one.

36:23

Well well if

36:26

I can't even do his voice

36:28

I'm trying to do Marky Ramon.

36:31

Well well well don't make fun

36:33

of Robl because he's

36:35

a good guy and you

36:37

know do

36:42

I have to kick the little

36:44

guy's ass? This is the real... His

36:52

finest moments playing

36:55

drums as

36:57

a member of Dust, Marky

36:59

Ramon. Marky Bell. Marky

37:02

Bell who was also a

37:07

member of the voidaways.

37:11

Yeah but some of the people that are listening to

37:13

this might not know. We've

37:16

talked about Dust on the show before. Yeah we're trying to enlighten

37:18

a few people. Well

37:23

I guess also I wanted to find out what... Did you

37:25

guys see the screamers? Were you into the screamers? I

37:29

saw the screamers on several occasions

37:33

and Tomato was

37:35

actually my neighbor

37:39

when I lived over by the Hollywood Bowl and

37:44

we became really good friends. Really

37:48

a sweetheart. One of the coolest guys

37:50

that you would ever meet. And those

37:52

guys there would be no nine inch

37:55

nails. There would be no... You

37:57

should ask these two guys. What

38:00

they think of the screamers

38:02

billion we guys We

38:12

guys into the screamers Yeah,

38:15

yeah, there's always like a distinction that's made

38:17

in like the history books now about when

38:20

when the beach scene came and

38:23

ruined Quote-unquote ruin not me saying

38:25

this the LA punk scene and

38:27

was that real or is that like a minute?

38:29

See, that's right me like but like that's what

38:31

it that was a different County and it was

38:34

a different It's

38:38

like what Keith says every night about

38:40

white minority it was done

38:42

as a joke and Then

38:45

certain people took it Seriously,

38:48

and it's like certain

38:50

people Not

38:52

everybody But

38:55

a lot of people from Orange County did

39:02

And the valley in the valley

39:04

was neighborhoods where their

39:06

parents were conservative and they just

39:08

wanted to rebel in any way

39:10

and some of them really wanted

39:12

to fuck shit up and

39:16

I mean because I have

39:18

a story about my first

39:20
