Germs Decline of the Western Civilization

The Germs were my life changing band. The one that sent me over and into the void; never to find my way out. Before the Germs, it would have been incomprehensible to me that any band could be that horrid and have that much power, and be so good. Not like New York Dolls bad, or Sex Pistols bad. The Germs were a whole 'nother universe of disjointed and furious shit.

I saw the reformed Germs play their first two shows in New York two winters ago, and it was still one of the best shows I've ever seen in my life. Even without Darby that band has a power and a fury that has never really been matched.
