All of you need to do your "research" Try reading Lexicon Devil, the book written by Don Bolles and Brendan Mullen. The whole thing is basically a huge oral story from everyone in the scene, and yeah some guys had sex with him. Though it shouldn't matter anyways.
After reading this book, this movie isn't that impressive at all.
I was reading the comments below and anyone who doesn't know that Darby was gay must have just stumbled on the Germs music last week and never read anything about them.
Are there really people stupid enough to think that they would make Darby Crash gay (bisexual) in this biographical film, if there was no factual accuracy to it?
Ninety plus percent of the cases, when biographical films, etcetera are made, they de-gay the "historical" figures.
But I guess the people who are taking issue with it are homophobic and do not like to think someone they idolized was gay.
Darby Crash was definitly not gay. if he was as smart as everyone said he was he wouldnt think being gay was "relevant" idk, he wasnt gay. thats retarded
@jsk8er266 some people but not the people who actualy knew darby crash bro, the one I read never said anything about him being gay, something about him being intrested in mind control and brain washing but never being gay
@stbreal dude dont trust alot of the internet resources theyre most likeley bullshit i have a book on these kinda bands it doesnt say anything about him being gay check ur references
@stbreal i heard there was a documentary being made by some guy he used to know that would talk about it(his homosexuality) - it would be called lexicon devil... some guys from x, and some germettes tell about him being into guys in the book lexicon devil...
This movie is SHIT. All it took was to make a simple google search to see what Darby Crash looked like. The kid that plays him, the set design and the overall feeling of the movie is that it should be a high school production. It sucks that they took such an amazing story and turned it into pure shit.
something just seems off- like it's a ninja turtles movie and the grunginess isn't authentic. seems like this was put on by people who weren't part of any underground punk scene. I mean, thanks for posting and I guess it's a fair attempt. Honestly it's entertaining- I like the actors but- I think the directing and set people messed up more than the actors.
the Germs were way better than the big punk band is not stupid cuz they started with a clean slate and made the rules that the others tried to follow ......Bosco was a lttle gay poseur.....the Germs could actually play well just Darby was always too high and didn't really care thats what made it so fun
....it wasn't just a concert it was a chaotic event....if you weren't there you have no idea what it was really like...you silly little youtubers have no idea....you think cuz you see some movie you know what it was about...LOL
How much of this film is actually real because I have the bootleg from the Germs last show at the Starwood and Darby says in the beginning before they start playing Richie Dagger's Crime, "This next one is called Richie Dagger's and this is for Robbie...for Robbie Henley"
@pnkroq I knew Darby, Pat, Don, Melissa, Brendan and most of those guys I grew up in the scene in LA and I can tell you that most of this movie is factual...
@osocali1 yeah, fuck everyone who says the movie is innacurate. If they would actually take time to read up on their music, they might actually know what theyre talking about
dead kennedys were real good but the germs were better than them from a musical standpoint cuz the music and lyrics were better. WAY better than the sex pistols who played real basic no frills punk rock that wasnt reovultionary in any sense nevermind the bloocks just sounds like classic rock but good and murphys law FUCKING SUCK there shit
Hated in the nation sucks, is just about the GG Allin in the 90s and i hate that period about him...
He was active from the late 70s til the 90s, (the mid 80s was the most interesting period about him)there could be a good movie about how he started and how through the years he become more insane....
hahaha yeah man I'm one of the few left that appreciates darby crash and what he did!! hahaha the gap?! hahaha for sure man Im always up for new music
it's a movie d-bags and the majority watching this shit never really know of them anyway.. way to take something pure and make it corporate shite on america, shite on teens, shite on POP and shite on modern "punk" fuck you billie armstrong
true, thanks for posting , NO offense to you but this trivialises the whole idea, and like i said by making this defeated the whole purpose. the point is to be ANTI corporate, and ANTI main stream.. oops gotta go just sharted
I didn't even know who The Germs were before I heard about this flick, I don't find them to be such an interesting group either actually. I prefer bands like Dead Kennedys, Sex Pistols and Murphy's Law.
Shit like Green Day ain't no punk, it's more like music for fat american teens.
@GutterballsActor They're really good musically, and lyrically. If Darby wasn't who he was, it would have ruined everything. Singing offbeat, and not in the microphone, only worked with him.
@GutterballsActor I appreciate your posting this, it is fun to watch, but there was a time when the Germs were bigger than the Dead Kennedys. the growling voice in hardcore and, later, in metal; began with Darby Crash.to say the least, the Germs were certainly one of the first hardcore bands. and you wouldn't be doing them any special favour by saying that the lyrics(mainly) by Crash remain unmatched -there the Germs can be called certainly a "big" band, paradoxically for a band with their name.
@GutterballsActor I like The Pistols and Dead Kennedys too but don't diss on Green Day man.They're no punk band of course but they're just a fun pop band.They're new stuff is bullshit tho.
fuck yeah man as a movie it's good but fuck shane west lil bitch destroyed the purity and image of darby crash... and i agree with you totally, this movie was never suppose to be made!!!!
FINALLY!! so there are a few of us left! ha, i was just about to go to the gap and buy some skinny jean lmfao you saved me i was ready to give up.. ill hit you up with my personal email and send ya some pure raw muscial madness
"shane west is waaay to clean cut to play darby "
Great spelling there, you fucking neanderthal. You are the quintessential yak who would listen to this trash. Fucking clowns who have NO ideas about what music is.
you dumb fuck read what i wrote im darby's and pat's biggest fan.. you douche maybe before you try and mouth off you should spell check you youtube user name
Holy shit, calm the fuck down. Sorry, geez, I'm not the smartest person ever, I didn't understand at first, goddamn. I know I spelled it wrong. You can only have 20 letters in your username, I was trying to make it fit.
