hehehe...devious bitch, i am. guess who? da crazy dick here! miss you Big K, and this is Miss Dick, in case you actually read all these posts and r the least bit curious who's talkin' crazy on yer clip, here...
am i the only one that thinks Karl and Joey from lagwagon sound kinda similar when they talk? also ALL and the Descendents greatest bands in the world (personally i prefer the descendents but ALL is #2 on my list of favorite bands without a doubt) and karl is the whole reason i learned bass so ummmm... hell yeah
@PKMLshow technically yeh, so are descendents, they both just havent done anything togeather for a while , except a few 1 off fests and shit, im hoping for a new descendents album soon!!
That comment about the Cell Phone and Internet is so true, I played in a band in the mid 90's and we found contacts through Maximum Rock And Roll, as kids you didn't have the money to call long distance so everything was pretty much done through mail. Look at YOUTUBE people can get exposed just by putting their music on here and never have to leave their home town before they are even known. Crazy
Good interview. Well Karls' answers were the best part. The interviewer needs too look his interviewee in the eye when he's asking questions. Quit lookin at the camera and off in the ether.
how can he play that fast? the best punk rock bassist ever

He is an awesome bassplayer. Totally unique sound. What was his health scare?
