Lexicon Devil-The Germs

[Zachtherudeboy]

Fuck the Germs. Fuck me. Fuck God. Oi.

[badluckhoppy]

This is my favourite version of this song. Viva la GERMS! We still love ya, Darby.

[MemoPortero]

I don't know why, but this slower, pop'ish sound that this version has makes it sound so damn good!

I enjoy this one casually and then the faster one at a live show :)

[FatRichwasaAnarchist]

PLEASE EXPLAIN YOUR HEART. THAT THOSE YOUNGR BOYS OF THE EARLY 1990'S TRYED THEIR HARDEST. ONLY COULDNT DO IT.

[emoguytryingtobepunk]

The germs probabley had less talent than anyother band I have ever heard. I love it.

[Darksunshinerain87]

I love this version. I thought it was the original speed of the song until I heard the one on the album. I love both, and listen to each when I'm in different moods. Sometimes I like the rhythm of this one and the beat, plus it's longer. Other times, I like the fastness and abrasiveness of the faster version.

[deathbypowerglove]

Sounds like Germ Division

Or Buzzgerms lol

(Germs blended with Buzzcocks and Joy Division)

I dig it, Good show Darby RIP

[01lila01]

R.I.P.

[TruemetalandpunkONLY]

@01lila01 Yes R.I.P. indeed, Darby died 30 years ago today. : [

[BarrioPunkRock]

Doors !

Germs !

[dylants92]

what record is this version on?

[AlDarko]

Fooking epic!!

[SeroseRevolution]

Damn, I haven't heard this song in years!

[ramonemeister]

wow this version almost sounds 77, love it

[lilboo229]

was he racist CAuse I like This so ng

[ladyintheradiator187]

wheres the fast version of this song? :P

[BareINK]

@ladyintheradiator187 That's the live version

[JoseR0821]

@ladyintheradiator187 I uploaded it.

[philaboston]

sucks that he committed suicide. i guess there was no other way for his life to end but for him to take it. isnt suicide the apex of nonconformism? ridiculous if you ask me.

[KillerDreck89]

That wasn't suicide, that was an accidental overdose. Or am I wrong?

[TheJigsaw232]

totally NOT accidental

[KillerDreck89]

Holy shit, I could have sworn, Wikipedia didn't say that Darby committed suicide.

[sunilthegreat]

@KillerDreck89 nobody was in the room with him when it happened. it has always just been speculation, nobody knows for sure. i'll ask Darby when we all get to Hell.

[112greeny]

my dads friend knew him he was a great guy. u may be in hell but he is in heaven.and there was a girl in the room with him she gave him the drugs

[lifecutshort]

hell doesnt exist

[storksforever2000]

i heard he ODd on purpose. thats why its called a suicide

[112greeny]

no it was suicide my dads friend knew him if he hadnt died from the first shot he would do it until he had an overdose. he was sick of how punk was dying

[TheThroney]

i think him having a 5 year plan made him more ambitious to get things done

[pok3monkillerz]

haha wow i wouldnt say they were the best punk band ever. thats a little extreme lol i would have to give it up to GBH!!!

[BraincageAZ]

GBH??? What about The Dead Kennedys, Black Flag, or Operation Ivy? GBH was cool, but how can you not say The Dead Kennedys?

[KillerDreck89]

Wasnt there a faster version?

[Germ0o]

live was always faster

haha! its funny when u see them live you have like no idea whats goin on

[KillerDreck89]

I wasn't even born in the 70's, but I already heard a faster version.

[Germ0o]

yea yea so have i

nd i wasnt born then either

[slappy2fer]

He doesnt sound as drunk in this version 0.o

[FluffyLizards]

the one thing I love about punk,you can here the same song on two albums then say that.

[darbylint69]

this was their best recording they did

and after this they didnt try as hard.

darby said it himself in a interview

[Germ0o]

nd laoded

[TruemetalandpunkONLY]

Gimmie gimmie your hand

Gimmie gimmie your mind

Gimmie gimmie your hand

Gimmie gimmie your mind

Gimmie gimmie this

Gimmie gimmie thaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!

The freaking catchiest song ever!

[renrengrin]

these filthy fuckers rock.

[clashboy1977]

i prefer this version!

[drgonzito613]

im a douchebag

[clipsahoy]

noones arguing with you

[FluffyLizards]

me too,I kick homeless people.

[whipitgood101]

so does anyone else think this sounds like a dictatorship that darby is describing? reminds me of hitler for some reason. his words or his satire?

[BernieRunns]

Greatest punk band ever. no discussion, this is fact.

[KidnapDeath]

Punk Rock changed the world. Too bad most punk kids today are stupid hipster-mafia and obnoxious brats. Well hey the Sex Pistols fanbase was like that, but I dug the "enlightened punk" stage.

[Inutero98541]

Hipsters? Really now?

[KidnapDeath]

Sarcasm fails? But I watch scrubs!

[clipsahoy]

hipsters? what are you in the bay area?

those fags dont even claim to be punks

come to OC, youll know when you see em by the smell of beer and vomit

[WestLA213Punx]

orange county???

[Germ0o]

fuck off u have no ideaa...

[MrsVPrice]

I like this version a lot more than the faster one.

:]

[drgonzito613]

this song is awesome

[daviddowns81]

i like the faster version, but this is cool too... Melvins also do a sweet cover of this song

[TheOGTripnotist]

any have the faster version of this song cant seem to find it.

[candyjunkie101]

buy MIA the germs anthology, it has both versions.

[DoctorStooge]

i do. do u have msn messenger? i can send u the mp3 file

[uN00b]

RIP Darby.

[sk8erelf8]

[saveurself123456789]

[ohhh5zx10r]

my friend in high school was obsessed with them he works at the same pizza place he did when we were kids. now im 22 hahaha

[StratoCesar]

if the germs are coming back, its gonna suck, darby crash was the germs

[crafter99983]

im gunna see em in 2 days ill tell wat its like

[PhantomDog]

Anyone hear of the Germs being reformed? Hate the idea.

[HahaGod]

They've been playing some shows for awhile already bro.

That and they're playing soon, check out their myspace page.

[PhantomDog]

I'm not judging how they sound, I just hate the resurrection idea since the major player of the band has left the stage. Thanks for the heads up tough.

[HahaGod]

Alrighty, sorry if I came off as harsh or anything.

And no problem on the heads.

[PhantomDog]

Naw, you were cool. If not, you'd a'heard me bitching.

[AirRick170]

This almost sounds like a Buzzcocks song

:P

[LlammaGT23]

no it doesnt

[Oi325]

i wanna hear richie daggers crime like DECLINE OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION that version

[Germ0o]

i like that picture

and the song is sexy

[9secondproductions]

i like there live music better! its real punk. this is a good song either way tho.

[philaboston]

this version sounds different and slower than the other version that i heard. this version is more polished and the pace sounds slower, but that could be an audible illusion due to the polished sound. thanks

[arizeal]

its meant to be slower

theres the fast one and this is the slow one if you see all the songs they have there are two a fast and a slow one

[XhavemyheartX]

yeah if you buy GI you can hear the transformation when the stopped just being a band and really starting being a punk/hardcore band.

[odalaura]

sounds like punk to me boss

[XhavemyheartX]

waht i mean is alot ofthe tracks are just slow like the demo of forming where as the rest of it is faster and harder. ya dig?

[Oi325]

yeah there are 2 formings the best one is the fast one i like this version of lexicon devil best i wish they recorded richie daggers crime like decline of western civilization segment u may noit like this but i like how the dude who played pat in what we do is secret did the guitar for "we must bleed in the begining of the song" whats the drum solo in the germs segment of deline of western civilization?

[killabakarir]

tear them down hold me up tell them that im your gun pull my trigger im bigger thaaan

[retsilalister]

uhmm? wrong song

[killabakarir]

[Doors101]

[Oi325]
