The Germs

[sheffsofficial]

its up to them they can do whatever they want..... and even though wed all rather have darby, shane does a great job live..... darby cant be brought back to life. we have the next best thing

[RareCheddarBarber]

this isnt the germs. no Darby, no germs. simple as that...

[SuperPissflaps]

am gunna see em tonight

[sydbarrett5]

I give these guys five years... tops.

[TheFacelessK]

shane west's band sucks at least now he sings some good music and at least they didnt come out wearing mascara and makeup like "punk" bands do today if u can call that punk

[Oi325]

naw thats that hardcore bullshit

[TheFacelessK]

i think the random guy in the background on one of the germs songs said it best "...no one can replace you..." then darby said "your right" lol hes just a damn actor the only reason they picked him is because he sounds like him

[outxtaxgetxme]

how many people on this site were around when the germs had their first run? probably 1%. so whoever doesn't think that the germs should play anymore because their original lead singer is no longer with us is selfish. i went to the show @ the el rey recently, and everyone had a great time, including don, pat, and lorna.

[TheFacelessK]

yea i saw don pat and lorna as well and shane broke a bottle and rolled around in it i mean at least hes trying right ?

[jasonbigelow]

Sell out whores.

[sunburstdj]

How are they sell outs? Are they not allowed to play the music that THEY fucking wrote?(Smear and Lorna)

The narrow mindedness of the fans of the scene never ceases to amaze me.

I'm 45 and I'll be punk until the day I die. I love the music and the REAL scene that existed when I was in my teens. Everything now is a fucking joke imitation.

At least Pat and Lorna bring it back to life and show you all what it was REALLY about. Not the MTV version.

[jackpwnage]

heres the long and short of it.

darby crash is dead. shane west isnt replacing darby crash. hes playing darby crash. on stage hes a character. was it the best decision for the germs to carry on? probably not, but give them a break, theyre trying to preserve their legend, not forge a new one.

[thebeautifulman69]

shane wreck is a better singer than darby crash by far!

[Wams84]

Wow... fuck off Darby Crash was the shit, and now they replace him with some pretty boy actor, fucking bull shit. The only reason darby crash ever sounded terrible was cause he was always fucked up on heroin and speed, if you watch the decline of western civilization he even says he gets loaded cause it was scary to be up on stage with all the violence that occured in the LA Punk scene.

[retsilalister]

fuck off darby crash was a way better if u think shane west is a betteer sing ur a fag

[ShawnK41]

whats the point of this????????? total distortion waste of time

[roastedlampost000]

Waheeeey Pat Smear!!!!

[Brandondryer40324]

man. if shane was fucked up on something while on stage then he'd be more like Darby. But no one can be like Darby except himself.

[mad011]

Shane west is a good singer for the band.

[Jokerice]

i think if darby crash were alive today, he'd care less about it than you fucking cretins

he does a good impression, which should be a good enough for the nostalgic, there's nothing wrong with it. grow up ya crybabys.

[Punkndestroy69]

SHane west can suck a dick.

[fatritto94]

ur mom can suck a dick too :)

[grungesponge489]

Fuck everyone who hates that Shane West is singing, at least we have the Germs back, and that's better than nothing at all.

[Brandondryer40324]

i dont like shane but you got a point. id rather have germs with shane west than the so called punk nowadays

[BeatleFan93]

You have point there. I would rather have Shane than Sum 41

[cyrus138]

@grungesponge489 Nothing is better in this case. And Fuck you too.

[mmasonhauser]

@grungesponge489 the germs arent the germs without darby. if you were an actual fan, you would know that.

[zuzido]

muito foda esse video caralhu!!!

[shutdownthefed]

funny how these douche bag actors take a role as someone in a movie, then think they are that person later in life,... a-la val kilmer thinks hes jim morrison now and shane west is a little rich homo that thinks hes darby. face the facts, the germs were great, but there gone now, they arnt coming back period. FUCK HOLLYWOOD

[surrealevolution]

what a gay ass crowd there standing there still like losers

[steamroomstud]

is this a Sprite commercial??

[asegh9uhiu4wt]

look at this sad shit, playing for a bunch of old hollywood losers. i hope pat and lorna and don feel like assholes for doing this to themselves.

[Stickyswede]

Kill yourself now for trying to live on Darby's legacy!!!

[nondor13]

great.

nobody even try to reach HIS standard.

How UNpunk.

[ohyeAmAn77]

SHANE WEST BLOWS!!!!!thumbs down...

[gilipollasd]

patsmears es muy buen guitarrista se debio quedar en foo fighters

[RIMBAUD78]

pull my trigger and i'm bigger than!!!!!

[supermetroid91]

Darby Crash was "self-destructive" and it was a big part of his stage presents. His girlfriend was fucking hard core too. Pat Smear, Lorna Doom, and Darby Crash are a must for me. Don Bolles is no Casey Royer in MY opinion. I saw them at the key club 12-28 and they always have that jack-ass lead singer who never wears a shirt...gross!!! HE IS NO DARBY AND A SHITTY FRONT MAN. probably dates blond cookie cutter chicks too. FUCK THAT GUY

[MyTunnel]

Darby was gay. No girlfriend, mi amigo.

[jrms2589]

And?

[mikeman123454321]

This fucking sucks. No Darby, no Germs. Send Pat's talentless ass back to the Foo Fighters. This is a disgrace.

[MyTunnel]

Fuck you. Pat has more talent than you'll ever have. Let him do as he pleases.

[klnkjsdhj]

Thank god a voice of reason! How pathetic all these assclowns ragging on Shane West and the Germs are all a bunch of 20-somethings who weren't even alive when Darby was. They have no frame of reference. I met Shane West and he in no way entertains any delusions that he is Darby reincarnated. He's taken a LOT of shit from ignorant posers that he doesn't deserve. Most old punks I know who WERE around in those days have no problem with any of this.

[DickVain41]

Ya Vans makes Germs shoes hahahaha!

[klnkjsdhj]

"they might even see Darby Crash as some sort of god"... well then they should follow in ol' Darb's footsteps and KILL THEMSELVES. You give 'em credit? Maybe you should too.

[ghostodarb]

The music is so damn loud i can't tell which song it is.

[mediablitz130s]

the energy?wht energy?

Darby was fucked up the whole time and passed out not even halfway into the set, at least this guy makes it through the first song and you can actually make out wht this guy is sayin

[RodentPopsicle]

Who said any of that matters?

[BLUKBLUK]

the germs in 2007??????????????ok but where's the darby crash skull hu hu

[osocali]

It's kinda sad that this fake Germs happened. I knew the real Germs and heard the real thing. This may be the same songs but the energy is not the same wihtout Darby and besides it was all new at the time. It was our scene we had no rules now it's all commercialized and homogenized. This isn't real punk anymore. Those who were there really know what I'm talking about.

[burgerkingmurders]

hell, id make a better darby crash than this guy. im sure he doesnt even do drugs, let alone cut himself on stage and such. the germs shouldve just quit altogether.

[RodentPopsicle]

I'm fairly sure the drugs and self-mutilation were the LEAST important things about the late Darby, but nonetheless i'm going to vote for your comment just because TONS of people would make a better Darby than Shane West.

[40oz1993]

i agree with rodent.... doing what he did exactly doesnt mean shit... i cant just shit on myself and say im gg allin.... me cuttin myself on stage doesnt make me darby.. same shit goes for everyone....

[seanfindley]

did you see the movie too?

[burnjim]

It all looks a bit too polite doesnt it? I'd probly go to see them live though, the closest most of us are going to get sadly.

[Gonzalez2500]

Shane west or whatever sucks. it would be better if they replaced him with some random dude.

[ghostcult]

What Toxicsurf said.

[Toxicsurf]

No Darby, No Germs..period!!!

[tpt37]

ya pats the shit

[kdckan]

pat fucking rock
