The story of Fugazi

I definitely think In On the Kill Taker is better than Repeater lol. That said Fugazi doesn't have a bad record, they're all good, but for me Kill Taker and Red Medicine are peak.

One of my favourite bands since I was like 17. I got in to them just as The argument album came out and I've been waiting for a new record ever since.

Fugazi is one of the top of the top bands in history. Reinvented punk-HC as a whole, was a huge influence when I was a teenager. Fave album: Steady diet...

I really like Embrace! That Album is FKN DOPE!

1:27 to clarify, teen idles and minor threat are actually two separate bands, Ian played bass in teen idles and then was the vocalist for minor threat. The way he said it kind of made it seem like teen idles changed their name to minor threat. Not hating or anything, just had a nerd moment just then.

great topic!

Repeater will always be my favorite record, but IOTKT is by far their best! Public Witness, Smallpox Champion and Rend it are 3 of the best Hardcore/Punk/Whatever songs of alltime! I'm lucky I got to see them 3x on that tour!

Enjoyed the vid. Bands I'd like to see in future: Helmet, Cro Mags & maybe Agnostic Front. Thx.

You are rocking it and hitting good facts that could be obscure ... Loved the Minor Threat vid ... Do an Angry Samoans one next, please ... Keep up the good work!!!

Just found your channel! I like how simple it is and direct and looking forward to hearing more. Thank you!

Nice vid. Great account of their history, and the ending gave a good "where they're at now" update. Didn't know Vish interviewed JL. Gonna have to go hear that. Turning down 10 million though. Doubt any band would do that now. I was actually trying to remember what job JL was working at that he walked away from. It was NASA. Remember reading an interview with them, and recall him saying his parents were pretty upset. Also, he mentioned the Cars, which I thought was pretty cool. Making my way though a book that tells the story of "Kind of Blue", and the jazz stuff was interesting to hear. Even mentioned the club you referenced. Had no idea that BC had roots in that.

I thank the algorithm for chucking me your channel! Subscribed🤘🏻

There’s three bands I’d love to see you make a video on TSOL Adolescents And Suicidal Tendencies

WOW!! There should be a movie about Minor Threat , & a movie sequel about Fugazi. One of the very few bands that chose to do it their way , & not grab the $$$ way.

It wasn’t about magazines they wouldn’t read themselves. It was about magazines selling drugs to children (i.e. Alcohol and Tobacco). You’re also downplaying Rites of Spring. Seeing them was like nothing before, at least as explosive as earlier shows when hardcore was still happening down here. They energized and inspired everyone. I have to believe that even though they were friends of Ian’s and on Dischord, their shows must have been a beacon for where he could also grow and go while Embrace was happening. I loved all of it, saw all of it, and feel so lucky to be from DC.

PUNK ROCK!!! 🤘

Haha! Pretty sure Ian would be just fine with that beer break.

Steady Diet Of Nothing was a good album solely for weeding out the folks who just wanted to hear Repeater and Waiting Room over and over again. Some of their early fans definitely jumped ship when Fugazi got more experimental

Minor Threat was not previously Teen Idles, 2 separate bands

Incredible, was hoping for a Fugazi entry from you. Wonderfully executed! :) May I request a vid on Girl/Gilla Band (again lol)?
