    did someone seriously just bag on mike judge? then have the audacity to call out chain of strength (aka THE greatest straight edge hardcore band of all time)?

    you got brass balls.

    i’m not one for hero worship…but son, you got brass balls.

    Well, thats a tough question, considering 95% of all sXe bands sucked. Most bands were put together just to support the scene. It was more about the scene and not the music. Granted, there are exceptions, Minor threat, gorilla buscuits, youth of today, uniform choice, insted, by the grace of god, and 7 seconds were all amazing bands. Everything else was either unlistenable shit, or only likeable cause it was the current scene. The worst sxe bands that come to mind were strife, earth crisis, bold, ssd, dys, anything on victory, anything that involving the words “youth crew”, and turning point.

  3. You know. I’m going to look really dumb right now if that turns out to be a picture of the creator of Beavis and Butthead and not the hardcore hero turned loser hippie.

  4. Dear A Different Jeff,

    The worst sxe bands that come to mind were
    strife – actually I think there first LP and all there 7″s are amazing…

    earth crisis – wow you best back off that one… especially since they are more than likely the reason you know what vegan means…

    bold – As much as I liked this band in the past, in hind site I agree with you, you can have this one.

    ssd – wrong

    dys – wrong again… wolfpack

    anything on victory – as much as the bulldog sucks, they did have INTEGRITY, BILLINGSGATE, WORLDS COLLIDE, BY THE GRACE OF GOD, HATEBREED, LIFE CYCLE/EVEN THE SCORE, RINGWORM, and how about the ONLY THE STRONG 7″?

    anything that involving the words “youth crew” not going to argue this point, cause you are half right…

    and turning point – sir, have you no soul? no heart? you certainly don’t have any history…

    One good song does not make a good band. Besides wolfpack, name two other good songs. Name one ssd song.

    And since when is vegan a good thing?

    SSD and DYS have both admitted that the lyrics and music of thier own music was terrible.

    Its awful shit.
    Gotta stick together like glue.

    brilliant lyrics.

  6. “Besides wolfpack, name two other good songs”
    Easy…
    More Than Fashion, Circle Storm, City To City, Brotherhood…

    Name one ssd song.
    Break It Up, Police Beat, No Reply

    “SSD and DYS have both admitted that the lyrics and music of thier own music was terrible.
    I don’t see how this has any bearing on how I feel about it…I could care less what Dave Smalley says about anything or what Springa says… or honestly you…
    with comments like “And since when is vegan a good thing?” it’s obvious that you have no idea what you are talking about, or that you are just trying to “stir some shit up” behind the safety of your computer, or most likely it’s a combination of the two…

    Being vegan or vegetarian has nothing to do with being straight edge.
    We can blame ray cappo for the vegetarian thing, and blame earth crisis for the vegan shit.
    And I do know what Im talking about. I love meat, its delicious. Go hug a tree you hippie, and keep your food diet out of sxe.

    Gee, you would think springa was the mouthpiece of ssd. Springa wasn’t even sxe, did you know that? Al barile was the driving force behind ssd, and springa smoked pot.ITs the sad truth. Im glad that you can look up ssd on the internet and pretend you know everything about them. Springa was also the worst vocalist, ever.

    If you truly like those dys songs, I feel sorry. They suck ass.

  8. “Being vegan or vegetarian has nothing to do with being straight edge.”
    never said it did. But to me the two go hand in hand…

    “Gee, you would think springa was the mouthpiece of ssd. Springa wasn’t even sxe, did you know that? Al barile was the driving force behind ssd, and springa smoked pot.ITs the sad truth. Im glad that you can look up ssd on the internet and pretend you know everything about them.
    1) This was never about wether or not they’re a straigt edge, it was a discussion about them musically…
    I could care less if bands are straight edge or not. My favorite bands are far from it.
    2) You’re the who is claiming to know so much about them…

    “Go hug a tree you hippie”
    wow. Now those of you who know me, know that is so fitting…sir I will refer you back to this…
    it’s obvious that you have no idea what you are talking about, or that you are just trying to “stir some shit up” behind the safety of your computer, or most likely it’s a combination of the two…
    please don’t bother responding to this cause I don’t care..
    I have more important things to do with my time than have a high school debate with some anonymous fruit on my blog…
    toodles.

  9. In my few years of hardcore (11, not much compared to Jawk or Gray), i would think that Jawk knows more about hardcore and the history behind it than just about anyone i have ever met. I don’t know if you should just burst up in here saying he doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Just sayin’.
