Angels playing disguised with devil's faces
Children cling to their coins squeezing out their wisdom

DALE CROVER GOES INTO HIS EARLY MUSICAL TASTES -- NAME-DROPS A LOT OF GREAT BANDS.
PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on budding punk rock drummer Dale Crover of the MELVINS wearing his hardcore punk influences proudly, c. early to mid '80s. 📸: Tracy Marander.
[9:30]: "I love that the MELVINS were so heavily influenced by BLACK FLAG, who are kind of like hometown heroes for us at 9:30 Club. Tell me more about how you guys got into hardcore punk."
DALE: "Okay. Well, when I joined the band those guys, the other band members, were already into BLACK FLAG, a lot of the stuff that was on SST, of course a lot of the stuff that was on Dischord, and uh, stuff like that, which I didn’t really know anything about that stuff. I come from a very isolated, redneckish city where a really intense hardcore band would have been like, IRON MAIDEN. You know? That was intense and underground. So I know that Buzz pretty much grew up liking the same stuff I did.
We grew up in the seventies so of course we liked KISS, and AEROSMITH, and all that kind of classic rock kind of stuff. At the same time, because of CREEM magazine, CREEM always had those bands but also had bands like the RAMONES and SEX PISTOLS. So, they seemed like they kind of treated those bands the same, you know? Like hey, we can like AEROSMITH and also like THE STOOGES at the same time! So, I think from that, that’s probably how we got to discovering other underground stuff, like all the stuff that was going on on the west coast, especially here in Los Angeles.
BLACK FLAG, the MINUTEMEN, plenty of the SST bands. So, a lot of those bands eventually came to Seattle. It was a very small scene, probably even smaller than what was going on in DC, I’m sure. A lot of bands didn’t really come to Seattle, it wasn’t like a main stop, especially back in the eighties. But, a lot of the west coast bands did, and that, especially BLACK FLAG, was a big influence on us."

it's always so fascinating and heartbreaking when a character in a story is simultaneously idolized and abused. a chosen prophet destined for martyrdom. a child prodigy forced to grow up too fast. a powerful warrior raised as nothing but a weapon. there's just something so uniquely messed up about singing someone's praises whilst destroying them.
