I always hated the 'geek band mafia' aspect of Voodoo Glow Skulls, and the whole Hickey episode exposed them as meatheads, but I am not going to deny that I dig all the pre-Epitaph stuff, because I really do dig it. So don't kick my ass, Frank.
So download this, and you can be like this guy:

- Can't Happen Here
- C-School
DL 'DOGPILE'
I have never heard this record but man this brings me back I used to see this in the 7" bins all the time in the 90's... As for Hickey man I loved those guys & I find the Hickey / Voodoo Glow Skulls split to be completely hilarious even though I can see both sides of the argument. Hickey talked a lot of shit about Epitaph while on stage opening up for VGS, & VGS over reacted (big time), assuring that cooler heads didn't prevail Hickey stole some sort of instrument from VGS & in return a series of death threats were left on Hickey's answering machine, kind of proving that VGS weren't too bright. My favorite VGS death threat was that they were gonna send a gay person up to San Fransisco to infect Hickey with aids... I still have the issue of Probe that goes in length about this whole scenario... now is the time to listen to their split 7"

ReplyDeletedammit, Jerry. I came here to post a hickey joke. thanks for ruining it.
ReplyDeletealso, you know the band geek mafia was inspired by the hickey incident, right? check out these lyrics:
ReplyDeletethe band with glasses and hard looks
has got you down in their black book
computerized, the crust elite
don't need the smell of mission street
have your cake and eat it too
with fellow scum that worship you
and when you choke on our black smoke
no one will be there for your rescue
it's the band geek mafia [x2]
your fake representation
shows right through your rotting skin
the only ones you're fooling
are the imbeciles who think like you
You blow the horn of justice [x4]
you probe us with your jealousy
your anger gives us the defeat
we'll keep walking separate ways
until someday, again we meet
the band geek mafia all unite
as we watch you fade away
and on your gravestone we will write
a naked cult of hypocrites
You blow the horn of justice [x4]
It's the band geek mafia [x2]
Didn't really listen to VGS post '95, so I had no idea they had a "response" song.
