i saw the movie, i don't think it was as bad as most fans make it out to be, Shane West did a pretty good job of playing Darby. Bijou Phillips looked hot as hell, but outta the movie, she's just another boring bitch.
Watch the Decline of Western Civilization and then this and you'll see they did a decent job of capturing the band members.
this movie sucked. this did to The Germs what fuckin' Sid & Nancy did to the Sex Pistols.
...and its depiction of The Screamers was bullshit. The Screamers were fucking awesome, and the jerkoffs who made this film don't know what the fuck they're talking about.
I was around back then,and ill be honest,this movie DOES rock,the actors did a sweet job,and shit DID go down pretty much like it shows...one thing though,the scenes at Dannys missed a few things ABOUT oki,s-you forgot the shoddy potted palms,stupid lights around outside,AND the old grey haired chickin hawks trying to pick -up on us as we ate those things,(best ever)-all in all,SEE THIS MOVIE,even if you wernt around back then...Darby Crash died for our sins !
regardless if it is spot on with facts or not, atleast the film turns people onto the germs, who i never knew about until i saw the film.. so good on it for that
crap movie. complete waste of time,. reminds me of the kids from those twilight movies,..its awful,..hunger for realism? watch the filth and the fury or american hardcore.
IF you knew the LA punk scene, and the Germs, you'd throw up and throw things at the screen. 100% fantasy. ALL the locations, clothes, hair, script were recreated 100% wrong. You might think it's great, but it's 100% bullshit. I was there, and gave them photos to use as guides. Makes me want to kill.
this movie is beautiful..........i think people need to remember it is a movie , thus by itself it is a piece of art. whi exactly does it have to be an identical retelling of everything that the germs did & were in the late 1970's? Honestly I loved it although it made me cry. I am glad my friend Jerm (yes that is really his name, no relation to the band) showed me it. It is here on youtube check it out!
and btw cut me the fuck up for what I said but your just furthering the fact that your that ignorant you have say your oppinion is right over mine or anyone elses. I thought the movie couldnt have been done any better.
anyone who doubts shane west being a lead singer should seriously take a close look at how fucking good he emulates darby. Seriously go ahed and be one of those cliche fans and say shane west is a pussy faggit but you tell me.. tell me how much balls that guy has to go out as the singer of the germs. darby was darby and shane is shane, seriously he does an amazing job on darby and I fucking take my hat off to shane because its sad when germs fans or punk rockers have to be so closed minded.
Not, Shane isn't Shane, he try to be Darby (and sing with the exact same voice) but is fucking lame, The Germs aren't about emulate or make fucking show in vans warp tours and this kinds of shits, The Germs are more, a message and an idelogy. Now, they aren't the Germs, west can't stand 10 seconds in the place of Darby, the audince of the actual germs shows are kids and other shit.
@xrayspexyes right, they were all , like, a bunch of like, yuppie kooks....like. What a bunch of posers, they know nothing about the germs, they only bought the t-shirts at hot topic cuz they were on sale
how many times did those kids say tight, holy shit. this movies tight, and the actings tight, I officially have lost hope in our mtv generation. ohhh fuck were doomed.
Seeing this video makes me want to vomit. How much did they pay people to say this drivel? I want to hear people say- the Germs were awesome but this movie sucks shit.
You all are the lamest people I can imagine and reading your comments made me puke my pants.
"If Darby this, if Darby that". Fuck you. Did you hang out with him? Did you know him? FUCK! If you even saw the band back when he was alive that doesn't even mean you have the right to bitch like that.
Darby's Dead. The Germs are alive. The Germs decided to make a movie, with help from Darby's friends and family. Take it up with them.
Jesus Christ, another attempt to make money out of something good. I doubt they even cared about the movie. Smear and Doom probably were out of cash and gave it the go to keep going or something.
i agree fuck all these people especially fuck the people they interviewed fuck shane west and fuck the germs, darby crash rolled over and threw up in his grave with this shit...especially fuck all the out of towners this is a LA thing and ofcourse people have to go fuck it up, just leave a good thing be it doesnt need all this bullshit glitz southside santa monica the real dogtown fuck venice fuck the valley and fuck OC, and you dont have to dress like a faggot from hot topic that aint punk
What A pile of shit!!! All the red carpet bullshit still photos they showed...exactly what Darby and the Germs were'nt!!! The kids saying yea they needed to do this movie, cuz were young and didn't get to see them....Well, you still haven't expierenced them....GOD DAMNIT!!!!!! What a bunch of fucking fashion monkies being interviewed....Osocali, we did the same thing....we made stencils, and painted our fave band names on plain white t-shirts....everybody had somecreativity back then
Did this guy go out of his way to find a collection of brain-dead bobble-head dolls to interview? He should have smacked them with the mic every time they said "tight" or "bad ass". They couldn't come up with anything more interesting to say than this?
I like to think kids like this would have been run out of the clubs in '78. I guess this is the double edged sword that is the increasing popularity of the Germs. For every kid with a head on his shoulders, there are sixty like this.
Yeah. I think what you said goes beyond simply applying to the Germs though; it's a paradigm of the increased popularity of punk rock as a whole. We have a culture of trendy ass little scenesters who thrive on drugs and political apathy. What's wrong with this situation?
The whole "tight" annoyed the shit outta me. Are you wigger or are you punk? Did you know about the Germs before hand? Have you graduated Junior High?
Pretty damn boring! failed to capture the spirit, energy or danger that attracted me. changed my life.punk is an attitude it fostered thinking for yourself, questioning authority,being what you wanna be not what your pressured to live life on your own terms&rejecting the norm. a pretty tall order for a film. i guess its just entertainment for the kids .a story worth telling would've been better as a doc. not drama.
"Pass the dust i think im Bowie"theBlackRandyStory now that would be entertaining
none of the dorks would have ever liked the Germs back in the day. The would have been snapping their gum with Pat Benetar head bands.... No film could have captured the real danger of what it was like to be a punk back in the day. Darby would spit in the face of these dorks on this video, then run.....
at the rotten age of 50 i can assure you i was a fabulous disaster in the summer of '78. like it or not youngster it was a hostile exclusive scene. I lit more than one posers hair on fire. i ate enough okie fries to impact my colon for life...just like the cling on dead heads of those days, punk has been dead since rollins came on the scene. OC had legit bands, hollywwod did too. But once vans wearing skaters showed up, it was the begining of the end...
Well it was the skaters specifically. But what came with them. Just jocks in engineer boots trying their hardest to look like the little circle jerks guy with the bandana etc. It took it from an exclusive group of freaks into the beginnings of making it mainstream. For me at least, the spirit of the original scene died with Darby. There is no way you can tell the story. Except to see you lived in a excited stae all the time, with moments of terror. Usually that was just walking down the street.
well corect me if i'm wrong but yes i totally agree with that and i think the result of what you're saying is i think today's mainstream music evrything it's kinda punk rock, skate related and totally SUCKS!!! i guess...you know it's like the i wanna be cool shit so i become a FASHION PUNK or a wannabe skater and i think that sucks i'm just 16 but i saw lot's of punk documentaries and they all talk a bout the DIY and theres a total lack of that nowdays...
I love hardcore punk dude. I know I wasn't there. But it's still fucking cool music. So just because I skateboard, you think I'm not allowed to listen to The Germs, Black Flag and shit like that? You gotta be the fucking dumbest person alive to think that. Skateboarding and punk go hand in hand if you ask me.
No your the dumbest, you didnt even get the point of the post. I have skated since 1972, before urethane wheels. The point was when skateboarders EN MASSE began attending shows it took it from the underground in to the mainstream. You couldnt buy a black flag t shirt before 81. You had to make one. The DIY part began to die and mass marketing took over. It wasnt the skaters fault, but in all happened at the same time.
Oh. Well, it just seemed like you were putting the blame entirely on skateboarders. The people you should really blame are the media, and Sex Pistol wannabes. Hell, even The Sex Pistols are to blame. I guess I really have no say because I wasn't involved in the scene, but that's just the way I see it.
Wow. Nevermind the fact that the entire early harDCore scene were all skaters, or the entire nardcore scene, or Suicidal Tendencies and their crew. Punk/hardcore and Skating have been hand in hand since like '80.
The idea that DIY is dead is complete bullshit. You clearly do not take part in the modern underground hardcore punk scene.
Warped is not what all of the punk scene is all like. There are just several different scenes in every city.
Yes, hardcore, but was that punk? Once the uniforms were adopted it wasnt punk. 1980 and beyond it wasnt a punk mentality, it was a " group " mentality. Punk if nothing else stood for individuality, and the dress code that came with hardcore is a testament to the fact that by that time, " punk : was maninstream.
I agree with you I'm from Dogtown and used to skate I got into the scene in about 75 and so did a bunch of the old Zephyr dudes like Jim Muir, Alva, Jay Adams, Baby Paul Cullen and Brian Cullen...then after the scene started getting media attention everyone wanted to be a weekend punk from the valley and OC...by then you could buy Punk clothing at all these stores on melrose in Hollywood....the best part of that scene was making it up...I remember making shirts get clothes at thift stores...
Okay, so instead of a much younger guy pontificating about the way he percieves history, you're actually a pretentious older guy who lies about his age and cruises the Internet mooning over his lost youth. Heh. Never mind. You win.
I just watched this movie and wasn't very impressed. It seemed it was trying too hard! Best acting was the guy playing Rodney Bingenheimer! I like the Germs but this movie just didn't do it for me!
agreed, i wouldn't even bother watching it. the people who talk on here i'd say maybe half of them listen to the germs. and the one guy who said he wants everyone to listen to the germs, i doubt that's what any of the germs actually wanted, what a fag
I was deeply disappointed in the film, although it had it's moments, and because the Germs are my favorite punk band, I find it difficult to hate the film.
do these 5th gens feel punk saying fuck every other word? does that make these posuers punk? yikes.. quit fooling yourself that it is a great movie.. darby is rolling over i am sure...
This movie was terrible. I couldn't make it through the first 15 minutes because it was so fucking bad. Not only is it shit but it's insulting and offensively terrible. Pat Smear is super effeminate and that fool played him like he was in Stand and Deliver. Way to present a non-bias example of the opinion of "Germs" fans by interviewing teenage dipshits in Jack Skellington T-Shirts
That one dumb broad talking about "The times" wasn't even a oval cell yet. What does she know about "The Times"? Fuckin emo kids are as gay as the 1970's.That's why we ruled the Starwood.
stupid poseurs.. does ass and fuck make these kids feel like they are punk? ignorant. i was at starwood too and they will never even know.. and darby is rolling over..im sure he'd puke.. even if others say otherwise...
GOD those kids are so fucking lame, beyond belief.
i wished eric blair knew that those fags are little ska bitches that dont know shit about the germs, except how to play garbage music in a city where everyone eats dog shit.
...support the germs? No Darby no Germs as far as im concerned! I only wish I had been born 20 years earlier...born in 87 as all good punk bands were dyin out.
all these kids are fucking gay, every one of them. That one kid at 0:29 in the ramones shirt, thinks he's cool because he can say "fukin'" ever 4 seconds. and the chick that used the word "tight" wow. hahaha, poseurs.
I agree with Hendrixstrato these kid have no idea about the Germs or the vitality of the scene back then. It was OUR SCENE it wasn't about just the music but about everything else that went with it..the Masque..the Oxford house...Oki Dogs...the Riots...the fights with Motley Crew below Ambers apt. up the street from the Whiskey...getting chased and shot at by gangsters in Venice and Culver City project cuz we were punks..we were living it we hung out and partied with these bands it was awesome.
yeah I remember when adam ant came to the tower record on sunset...me and some friends were the ones who threw a dozen eggs at him from up the hill and one hit the mic stand and got on him...LOL....it was a blast
I remember Gerber...my name is Abel I was from the Venice Beach crew...along with Raynard, Froggy, Sergio, Doug (Druggo) way back in the mid 70's...who are you....?
hey Abel been a long time , where are ya ? this is mark from venice we used to go to shows with froggy , ann bel ,doug , sergio dropped out after the fleetwood,actually most o them stopped goin but wed still take frog lol
I'm one of those older guys from the scene I used to go to the Fleetwood when all you HB and OC punk used to TRY to kick our ass. You guys were just little spoiled suburanite pussies with your $300 leather jackets you mommies bought you at the mall and your Oh so fanshionable punk outfits cleaned and pressed by your mommies...LOL. I was from the Venice Crew I remember running in to 3 VC guys across form the Starwood by the liqour store they tried to jump me till i socked one in the adams apple.
This movie is fucking stupid, what is the point. If your gonna make a movie about a legend like darby crash then make it properly, Not some dramatized piece of shit.
These kids obviously know nothing about the germs and now they probably think they know all because they watch the movie. Im not saying that they dont like the music but if they knew anything im pretty sure they would not of liked this lame ass movie
I was at this screening, and this interviewer would have gotten a COMPLETELY different response from me than these other kids, haha! The movie was what it was... a movie. Shane did a good job with a bad script, and if the Germs want to tour with him, that's their decision. I'd rather see the Germs with Shane than the Doors with Ian Astbury any day.
yes, if the remaining Germs want to tour with Shane that is their decision, i on the other hand will not go see them, for like i said, in my opinion Darby was the Germs. The germs were and will always be my fave punk band of all time. RIP Darby.
We share the same opinion about Darby. It's obviously not the same band. The Germs were one of the first punk bands I ever saw when I was just a little nipper, so I do remember what it was like with Darby. It's just that I have nothing against Shane West. I won't go see them either, I don't want to taint my memories... but I have no problem with them having another go at it. It is what it is.
very true. i have nothing against shane west, im sure he is very good at what he does. I noticed on your profile it says your hometown is Redondo Beach, funny, I lived in redondo for 31 years of my life. i Grew up on ave b and lived in and around the area till 31. i moved out of state for about 10 years and now im back in los angeles and my girlfriend/ fiance is Michelle bell, aka, Gerbr.
im sure Shane West does a fine job at playing Darby Crash in the movie, but as for touring with the 3 remaining Germs and being called a new Germ, give me a break. Darby was the Germs, plain and simple and without him you have no Germs.
And as for the two girls they questioned at the end of this vidoe, what a couple of idiots, yeah everyone go see the Germs movie for bijou phillips, shane west , and oh yeah, the Germs. dumbasses

none of the dorks would have ever liked the Germs back in the day. The would have been snapping their gum with Pat Benetar head bands.... No film could have captured the real danger of what it was like to be a punk back in the day. Darby would spit in the face of these dorks on this video, then run.....

Yeah, you were so jaded by age 8, right?, You know, "Back in the day?"
jwhiteout 2 years ago
at the rotten age of 50 i can assure you i was a fabulous disaster in the summer of '78. like it or not youngster it was a hostile exclusive scene. I lit more than one posers hair on fire. i ate enough okie fries to impact my colon for life...just like the cling on dead heads of those days, punk has been dead since rollins came on the scene. OC had legit bands, hollywwod did too. But once vans wearing skaters showed up, it was the begining of the end...
Amuck14 2 years ago
but why skaters ruined evrything?
TheGodfatherRulo 2 years ago
Well it was the skaters specifically. But what came with them. Just jocks in engineer boots trying their hardest to look like the little circle jerks guy with the bandana etc. It took it from an exclusive group of freaks into the beginnings of making it mainstream. For me at least, the spirit of the original scene died with Darby. There is no way you can tell the story. Except to see you lived in a excited stae all the time, with moments of terror. Usually that was just walking down the street.
Amuck14 2 years ago
well corect me if i'm wrong but yes i totally agree with that and i think the result of what you're saying is i think today's mainstream music evrything it's kinda punk rock, skate related and totally SUCKS!!! i guess...you know it's like the i wanna be cool shit so i become a FASHION PUNK or a wannabe skater and i think that sucks i'm just 16 but i saw lot's of punk documentaries and they all talk a bout the DIY and theres a total lack of that nowdays...

Amuck14 2 years ago
I love hardcore punk dude. I know I wasn't there. But it's still fucking cool music. So just because I skateboard, you think I'm not allowed to listen to The Germs, Black Flag and shit like that? You gotta be the fucking dumbest person alive to think that. Skateboarding and punk go hand in hand if you ask me.
spicyMcHAGGIS9green 2 years ago 3
No your the dumbest, you didnt even get the point of the post. I have skated since 1972, before urethane wheels. The point was when skateboarders EN MASSE began attending shows it took it from the underground in to the mainstream. You couldnt buy a black flag t shirt before 81. You had to make one. The DIY part began to die and mass marketing took over. It wasnt the skaters fault, but in all happened at the same time.
Amuck14 2 years ago
Oh. Well, it just seemed like you were putting the blame entirely on skateboarders. The people you should really blame are the media, and Sex Pistol wannabes. Hell, even The Sex Pistols are to blame. I guess I really have no say because I wasn't involved in the scene, but that's just the way I see it.
spicyMcHAGGIS9green 2 years ago
Wow. Nevermind the fact that the entire early harDCore scene were all skaters, or the entire nardcore scene, or Suicidal Tendencies and their crew. Punk/hardcore and Skating have been hand in hand since like '80.
The idea that DIY is dead is complete bullshit. You clearly do not take part in the modern underground hardcore punk scene.
Warped is not what all of the punk scene is all like. There are just several different scenes in every city.
sxepunk336 2 years ago
Yes, hardcore, but was that punk? Once the uniforms were adopted it wasnt punk. 1980 and beyond it wasnt a punk mentality, it was a " group " mentality. Punk if nothing else stood for individuality, and the dress code that came with hardcore is a testament to the fact that by that time, " punk : was maninstream.
Amuck14 2 years ago
I agree with you I'm from Dogtown and used to skate I got into the scene in about 75 and so did a bunch of the old Zephyr dudes like Jim Muir, Alva, Jay Adams, Baby Paul Cullen and Brian Cullen...then after the scene started getting media attention everyone wanted to be a weekend punk from the valley and OC...by then you could buy Punk clothing at all these stores on melrose in Hollywood....the best part of that scene was making it up...I remember making shirts get clothes at thift stores...

Okay, so instead of a much younger guy pontificating about the way he percieves history, you're actually a pretentious older guy who lies about his age and cruises the Internet mooning over his lost youth. Heh. Never mind. You win.

agreed, i wouldn't even bother watching it. the people who talk on here i'd say maybe half of them listen to the germs. and the one guy who said he wants everyone to listen to the germs, i doubt that's what any of the germs actually wanted, what a fag

This movie was terrible. I couldn't make it through the first 15 minutes because it was so fucking bad. Not only is it shit but it's insulting and offensively terrible. Pat Smear is super effeminate and that fool played him like he was in Stand and Deliver. Way to present a non-bias example of the opinion of "Germs" fans by interviewing teenage dipshits in Jack Skellington T-Shirts

I agree with Hendrixstrato these kid have no idea about the Germs or the vitality of the scene back then. It was OUR SCENE it wasn't about just the music but about everything else that went with it..the Masque..the Oxford house...Oki Dogs...the Riots...the fights with Motley Crew below Ambers apt. up the street from the Whiskey...getting chased and shot at by gangsters in Venice and Culver City project cuz we were punks..we were living it we hung out and partied with these bands it was awesome.

I'm one of those older guys from the scene I used to go to the Fleetwood when all you HB and OC punk used to TRY to kick our ass. You guys were just little spoiled suburanite pussies with your $300 leather jackets you mommies bought you at the mall and your Oh so fanshionable punk outfits cleaned and pressed by your mommies...LOL. I was from the Venice Crew I remember running in to 3 VC guys across form the Starwood by the liqour store they tried to jump me till i socked one in the adams apple.

Where are the people my age or the older Hollywood punks we used to beat up at the Fleetwood? These kids weren't even born then.

I was at this screening, and this interviewer would have gotten a COMPLETELY different response from me than these other kids, haha! The movie was what it was... a movie. Shane did a good job with a bad script, and if the Germs want to tour with him, that's their decision. I'd rather see the Germs with Shane than the Doors with Ian Astbury any day.
infidelcastrate64 3 years ago
yes, if the remaining Germs want to tour with Shane that is their decision, i on the other hand will not go see them, for like i said, in my opinion Darby was the Germs. The germs were and will always be my fave punk band of all time. RIP Darby.
dagon6524 3 years ago
We share the same opinion about Darby. It's obviously not the same band. The Germs were one of the first punk bands I ever saw when I was just a little nipper, so I do remember what it was like with Darby. It's just that I have nothing against Shane West. I won't go see them either, I don't want to taint my memories... but I have no problem with them having another go at it. It is what it is.
infidelcastrate64 3 years ago
very true. i have nothing against shane west, im sure he is very good at what he does. I noticed on your profile it says your hometown is Redondo Beach, funny, I lived in redondo for 31 years of my life. i Grew up on ave b and lived in and around the area till 31. i moved out of state for about 10 years and now im back in los angeles and my girlfriend/ fiance is Michelle bell, aka, Gerbr.
dagon6524 3 years ago
im sure Shane West does a fine job at playing Darby Crash in the movie, but as for touring with the 3 remaining Germs and being called a new Germ, give me a break. Darby was the Germs, plain and simple and without him you have no Germs.
And as for the two girls they questioned at the end of this vidoe, what a couple of idiots, yeah everyone go see the Germs movie for bijou phillips, shane west , and oh yeah, the Germs. dumbasses
