... what's your favourite Black Flag tune?

I think mine's Slip It In or Drinking and Driving -- the hits I guess... I really hate the idea of lengthy thrash overtures but these really work...

"3 nights" from "My War" LP... the weirdest and darkest they got, but i love all Black Flag stuff... for the punkier stuff, i'd pick "Revenge", the performance of that in Decline of Western Civilization gives me goosebumps...

All of the above and JEALOUS AGAIN. I love the bassline from six pack... maybe cos it's easy. used to play it over and over in my short stint as a bass player in a crappy punk band.

"The Bars" off Slip It In. Just for the drum fill before it really gets going, but for a bunch of other reasons too. One of Rollins' best vocal performances with the band, a killin' guitar solo...it's the high point of the album, to my ear.

Nervous Breakdown!!

I'm about
To have a nervous breakdown
My head really hurts
If I don't find a way out of here
I'm gonna go berserk 'cuz
I'm crazy and I'm hurt
Head on my shoulders
It's going...berserk

I hear the same old talk talk talk
The same old lines
Don't do me that today, yeah
If you know what's good for you you'll get out of my way 'cuz
I'm crazy and I'm hurt
Head on my shoulders
Going...berserk

I won't apologize
For acting outta line
You see the way I am
You leave any time you can 'cuz
I'm crazy and I'm hurt
Head on my shoulders
Going...berserk

Crazy! Crazy! Crazy! Crazy!

I don't care what you fuckin' do
I don't care what you fuckin' say
I'm so sick of everything
I just want to...die!
