Dogman Presents Fear and The Minutemen

[timepope]

As much I as love you George...... wtf. your hair dude...

[toiseywoisey]

I fail to see any connection between Throbbing Gristle and "Punk Rock". It looks their interview was conducted at Averil Park.

[toiseywoisey]

I fail to see any connection to Throbbing Gristle.

[asch]

Does anyone have a link to anymore songs where D is playing the Les Paul? I am just loving the balls to it - the sound is so different!

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

any band that mentions THROBBING GRISTLE and PINK FLOYD is A-OK in my book!!! 

[sandysuicide]

can someone please tell me what song is playing at 2:55 ?

[asch]

@sandysuicide

It's "Take Our Test" from Project Mersh.

[pitbull103]

FEAR sucks. Well, that's what all the graffiti used to say. Lee Ving was a scary dude. Probably still is.

[hellyeson710]

I love how Philo smiles when he says we'll all be one year closer to dying. Thats life. :)

[DogmanDave]

Somewhere someplace in some tape vault somewhere is more of D and the Les Paul at least we still have this

[Fallinldols]

shiit is there any full footage of the show where D is playing that gibson>??????

[challinorrj]

What is the song at 2:31?

[batterycock]

i like it when hurley stops talking and lets watt speak...

[Fallinldols]

i dont think hurley said a word lol

[asch]

Funny how much ballsier the guitar sound is since D's using the Les Paul! Interesting and different!

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

any band that mentions THROBBING GRISTLE is OK in my book...

[vikingeggling]

"then when we heard these other lames dudes writing songs, we were like oh man we can do this!"

[cupcakestereo]

"Everybody should do it. There should be a rock band on every block because it can happen." Fucking beautiful. I guess this is the interview that Jeff Mangum was talking about

[hucore]

" there will be no difference between the races" lol haha

[jimfields]

Aint that the dude from the Fleshtones..the host?

[bradgenetta]

d boon is playing a les paul because his guitar fucked up at the last second so curt kirkwood (MEAT PUPPETS) gave him his.

mike watt talks about this gig on his hoot page.

[chrissstopherG]

maaaaaaan D. could fuckin rock it

[sfablur]

Wow, I've never seen D. play a Les Paul before. I thought that he was strictly a Tele man!

[DillingerDestroyer]

Does anyone know the song at 2:56-3:06? It's rockin*.

[kheypar]

Take our Test -- off of Project Mersh

[templarsquad]

Lee Ving looks like Bill Murray.

[samhainsexhc]

yeah he does!

[theonlytruepunk]

He actually looks like your uncle!

[samhainsexhc]

didnt know boon was that heavy set...

[degaulle30]

Not only was their music amazing, as a band they were as down to earth as performers could get. Reading about them in 'Our band could be your life' you really get the feeling of just a bunch of friends who liked playing together, didn't give a shit about fame or money.

[samhainsexhc]

i wasn't saying thats a bad thing, i just didn't realize he was big.

[SirGuttz]

Much not know much about the Minutemen then, everyone know's about D. Boon!

You'll never see a guy that big with as much energy as he played with.

[samhainsexhc]

yeah boon had so much charisma on stage and didn't give a fuck what people thought.

[benb6725]

Yea I dont like fat people either. I wish he looked like scott stapp from creed.

[samhainsexhc]

dude fat people rule ( i'm a bit chunky monkey myself). and scott stapp is a fudgepacker.

[theonlytruepunk]

It is better to be thin...you don't have to worry about such things as, heart attacks, bad back, sore knees, Diabetes, spending all your hard earned pay on food, etc. Thin is in!

[bonzoboom85]

And so "theonlytruepunk" what is the only true punk? It seems if you knew you wouldn't be saying stupid things like "thin is in" because man, it doesn't matter.

[theonlytruepunk]

I was being sarcastic...who gives a fuck, really??? I don't. I have a spare tire I am packing around with me, so fucking what? In other words don't take silly things like that serious...life is short, enjoy it.

[bonzoboom85]

Oh, I am.... and YES SIR!

[theonlytruepunk]

Oh,you are not...and NO FUCKING WAY!!!!!!

[spicyMcHAGGIS9green]

You're no punk.

[theonlytruepunk]

No, I am the only true punk!!!!!

[spicyMcHAGGIS9green]

You're not a punk at all you arrogant piece of shit.

[theonlytruepunk]

Hahahahaha...now I am "arrogant"...hahahaha.  Only arrogant when my dick is in your moms mouth...now, that is PUNK!!! Hahahahaha...fucking dildo!

[theonlytruepunk]

what the fuck??? Why are you dissing on D. Boon...fuck! You saying he was fat??? Are you saying he was a big fat guy? Are you?? That is fucked up...you should never make fun of fat people...how would you like it?

[watson349chico]

i wanna hear the rest of that show, 'take our test' live, sick!!!

[shake544]

BTW, that's Peter Zaremba of the Fleshtones VJing there.

[bpcraig]

I hate to be a heretic, but D looks like Larry the Cable Guy here.

[ShhBeans]

D. Boon was right, every corner should have a rock band, but most of them couldnt play like they could. They had to be the one of most proficient group musicians in all of punk, only maybe BadBrains could match their breathtaking stops and starts on a dime.

[STEELandBEAST]

D is king

[dmonypeny2]

I think D. was borrowing Curt Kirkwood (Meat Puppets)'s Les Paul at the time. The Minutemen had their equipment stolen on tour.

[wolfisloose]

harbor area ftw

[mikescircus]

I saw the Minutemen play in Nov. 1985 at Angel's Gate Cultural Center in San Pedro. My guess is that was one of their last gigs. But I think their last performance was on the REM tour later in 1985. One of my favorite bands of all time. RIP D.

[chardman1]

It SOUNDS funny to hear him playing a Les Paul.

One of his trademark sounds is that scratchy, trebly guitar. I wonder what kind of music he'd be making or what he'd sound like if he was still alive.

[grandaddy2006]

Remember this too. Man the the minutemen ruled

and still do.

[fROMIOWA]

I wonder if they filmed the whole Minutemen concert?

[DogmanDave]

Portions of this video were likely shot at SST Night Ackerman Ballroom UCLA late 1985, with label mates Husker Du. I was at that show when an MTV cameraman, wanted my tall friend to help give him space to operate within the mosh pit, and get close ups. It had to be one of d.Boon's final performances thanks for pointing out the Les Paul.

[funkyfoolfromVanNuys]

Minutemen and Husker Du? Now that's a rock show right there. D Boon is Dead, Long Live D Boon.

[seedtosser]

This must of been close to when D. Boon died. It's funny seeing him play a Les Paul!
