  • this happens way too often... dead kennedys, misfits, reagan youth, etc. not saying its wrong, i just dont like it.

  • There is nothing punk about a Vans Warped Tour....safe corporate fake rebellion for the kiddies...and how the fuck can this be The Germs without Darby???...someone take me back to 1980, please.

  • Your not Darby Crash.

  • the punk band of punk rock. fuck pat and anybody who thinx this is good. long live darby!!!

  • he is not Darby Crash and e never will be i dont care if he played as him in the film "what we do is secret" hes still not Darby.

  • what the hell is this dude doing? He's supposed to be actually singing into the mic only like 15% of the time and be completely incomprehensible

  • @TbassC2010 thats pretty much what darby crash did.....

  • @IamLukeSilz92 exactly what i was gonna say

  • Someone give @MemoPortero an award

  • Comment removed

  • Damn, give Shane a break for fux sake..this was done with respect to Darby, not to soil his 'good name'. He was a legend, but hes also a dead junkie now.

  • All you kids who bitch about the Germs reuniting with a singer need to get a fucking life. I think Pat Smear and the rest of the gang have the right to do whatever the fuck they want at their age, and I doubt they'll care what some clueless 16 year old cunts who were born in the 90's think about the reunited Germs.

  • @MemoPortero Yeah man finally someone to fucking say it.The guy is the best thing that can replace Darby Crash.He can only be acted out because nothing else will work.So shut the fuck up.Shane is a tight actor.Stop bitching about something you don't even understand.

  • they should throw a dead body up there

  • @YELLOWANTONIO lmfao!

  • @AddictedToTheOi138

    Totally agree with you. Darby cannot be compared. But Shane is good whether people like it or not.

  • Hey, pretty good. I like this and I agree with the most recent comment. It is what it is and if this isn't the new version band you want, don't listen or watch.

    Darby is the best and can never be compared. Shane is just another guy joining the band. He's not, nor never will be as great as Darby. But he's good.

  • god, you guys are kinda ignorant, he has somewhat a good vocals cover for darby, oh yeah he's not darby crash no shit, but i bet if he changed the lyrics of the song, you people would still be ass fucked pissed because he changed the original lyrics, but either way he's keeping the original lyrics. but anyways, conclusion is, DARBY'S DEAD! QUIT ACTING LIKE THEY LIKE THREW HIM OFF FOR THIS GUY! darby was the best though.

  • I have looked at all of the videos of this guy singing for The Germs, and damned if you guys aren't butthurt as fuck. Darby would be laughing at your asses right now.

  • no your not no your not no your not

    dude get the fuck off stage!

    i cnt believe the other members are really doing this crap..its very upsetting

  • that's ok..

  • shane west can suck my hairy balls

    Darby Crash WAS the Germs.

  • @FionaFlowers123 "darby crash WAS the germs" how many times have you actually seen the germs live ?

  • he is not darby crash no shane west he is shame west

  • Trying Hard...way to hard.

  • By the way, Mr. Shane West starred in A Walk to Remember, a romantic chick flick, and played a doctor on E.R.

    Now that's punk!

    This guy is an ACTOR. We should stop calling him a singer, he's an actor, and for this, his part is Darby Crash.

  • The first thing I see in this video "Vans: Warped Tour '06, sponsored by Cingular and Samsung Mobile".

    Vans, the shoes worn by poser skater kids.and the Warped Tour, which is just a bunch of shitty pop-punk bands. Not to mention that it's also sponsored by cellphone companies.

    And then Shane West comes on the stage with his perfectly gelled mohawk singing "I am Darby Crash", just imitating Crash.

    Awful.

  • This is sad. Every single person in this band is what made the germs and they know it and not having Darby Crash means that it's not the germs and having some pussy ass actor trying to play punk rock is a bunch of bullshit. He doesn't know what Darby's lyrics mean and will never know. This is sad. They should have just left it alone. The movie sucked too, it's no where close to how it really went down. Fuck this band and fuck the movie.

  • @smartboyalex AGREE!

  • 3/4 of the Germs and still not the same..... oh well. Go out and see some of the new bands out there.

  • this is really sad, it honestly huts my feelings.

  • YOU ARE NOT DARBY CRASH...YOUR JUST DOIN THIS FOR CASH......HOW CAN PAT AND LORNA ALLOW THIS SHIT?? its just not right

  • darby would have never been caught dead in anything resembling 'vans warped tour'. this is the reason why he died way before this manufactured repackaged junk

  • Something about his mohawk and the no shirt makes that guy looks like a douche from New Jersey

  • they coulda atleast not played that song outta respect for darby how could pat and lorna let this happen?? truly sad .. i think darby would be sad too

  • im not darby crash

    im doing this to make some cash

    chaotic diaster 

  • Movie wasnt that bad honestly.... But He's not Darby Crash. Darby Crash is dead, which sucks, cause that means the Germs are dead too. These aren't the Germs.... this is ex members from the Germs and some actors spare hobby.

  • He's actually singing; I'm Darby Crash...what an asshole!!!! I hope Pat Smear fucks that guy every night!!!!!

  • He's actually singing; I'm Darby Crash...what an asshole!!!!

  • @sacredjimi NO DC NO GERMS

  • pathetic....if they wanna do shows DONT CALL YRSELVES THE GERMS

  • oh this are the gay version of th germs

  • FUCK YES???

  • Hey, at least they sound good now

  • West will never, ever live up to Darby. EVER. Sorry bud.

  • dk with out jello

    discharge with out cal

    misfits with out danzig

    germs with out darby

    i would rather have the band gone and forgotten than see what theyve become!!!!!

  • @histatimaniples You forgot Reagan Youth and Circle One.

  • @CountTheOdds i did didnt i love me some reagan youth

  • @histatimaniples well

    i ain't gonna see those bands..

    but I would love to meet the original members.

  • I agree it's keeping the germs alive, and shane is actually not that bad of a punk singer either.

  • may not be the real darby crash but so what. shane is keeping the germs alive. wich it cool. so fukin what if hes not darby crash, this is darby's circle 2 he would be proud.

  • @fuckyou51000 your right long live the germs

  • You should get over the fact that Shane West is lead singer for The Germs now. At least we get to enjoy the music live. Most old school punk bands don't have their lead singers anymore and people still enjoy the music live like Dead Kennedys and Reagan Youth

  • I don't know... At least he sings into the mic...

  • Man, Darby is such a washed up has been, he really aged terribly.

  • you are all fools. what do you want to do? dig up darby crash from the ground? he's f'n DEAD. they have every right to do what theyre doing - after all Darby's dead. I love the germs and have since the 80s. youre all the posers that think the germs should never play live again, their music is too good. no one is saying shane west is darby crash - its the lyrics to the song stupid. I for one am glad they decided to use him they couldntve found a better replacement.

  • Even the movie sucked.

  • what? you can't replace darby fucking crash man, you just can't.

  • who cares about the actor who actually thinks he's darby cuz he "starred" in a laughable biopic on the guy. he can't BE darby no matter how much he "feels" his pain, and he's not even trying to put his own spin on it- it's just a pale imitation of a band that was never this dull and "pro" even at the top of their game. it's simply just a lame nostalgia act. that said, pat smear's the one we should be singling-out or this travesty. he put this shit back together- like he needs the money. asshole.

  • "my names shane west,not darby crash,im just a posour" :P

  • I don't care what everyone else says. I think Shane West is alright with The Germs. No, he is no Darby; but Darby was one in ten million. If you didn't know Shane West was "Shane West", everyone wouldn't be shitting on him like they do.

  • its cool to see this. all these kids suck to much dead dick..ya know? just let it be. he's not tryin to be anything, all you guys are lil fuckin hardcore pussies who need to get over it.

  • what a fagget.

  • "im shaney west! a fu-ckin fake! fagggg master, im shaney west, no not darby crash!"

  • There will never be anouther Darby crash, he was a true punk icon

  • No, Shane West is not Darby Crash. There will never be another Darby, But I think Shane has been doing a pretty damn good job. Apparently the other Germs think so too.

  • im sure shane west doesnt think that he is darby crash,im sure he didnt sign on to do vox with the germs because of some image he wants to make.

    i think its more sensible that when he was casted to be in the bio about the germs,that the band thought he sounded good and wanted him to play with them.

    obviously he is a fan and respects the suggestions of people he admires.

    if the remaining members of your favorite band wanted you to assume the role of the missing piece what would you say?

  • west is like the sequl to a movie never better then the first, its all about crash without him the germs are not the germs

  • "HE DARBY CRASH,A SOCIAL BLAST,IM JUST A POSER!!" it works and makes sense

  • I like how the song starts "I'm Darby Crash." Singer dude who's name I don't care to learn, go die. In a hole. You are not Darby and will not be Darby. So GTFO.

  • Aww Fuck, Id like to kick Shane west ass.

  • i don't care about any of you narrow minded punk rockers out there. shane west really does a great job. Ramones and Germs for life!

  • @RockAndRollChuck FUCK OFF!!!!YOU DONT UNDERSTAND THEYRE NOT THE GERMS ANYMORE WITHOUT DARBY AND NOW THAT FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT SHANE WEST WANT'S TO MAKE JUST MONEY MAN SO FUCK YOU!!!!!!

  • the song just fit him.

    or can change the song

    "he's darby crash"(to real darby)

  • THIS IS DISGUSTING. KILL YOURSELVES.

  • When a band losses it's driving force they need to change their name

  • @danielmountain

    Quality of singing has nothing to do with this. Darby brought the Germs together, Darby wrote the Germs lyrics, Darby was the Germs. His stage presence is what made the germs the germs. he was a driving force. now they have an actor doing it. he's a darby impersonator who's less edgy. A downgrade of their former selves. Seems like a cheap gimmick to make money You can have your opinion, I'm just explaining my view.

  • He isn't singing, are just acting, voice move and all shit. Fucking lame, this song is about darby and you can't fucking sing it.

    Now he have a mohawk and think who is really punk. Is sad because The Germs keep the music so undergrond and you can see now them playing at this tour sponsored by Samsung and KIA.

  • i dont see why you guys are all dissing the guy he respects the music enough to play it on stage even though half the time the germs were all show cause they sucked at playing but still you dont just watch it for that asshole think of seeing George Ruthenberg playing live today that would be pretty amazing

  • no you're not darby crash, why would you do this song?

  • I don't have a problem with him being the singer now, but it does seem kind of lame for him to do this song.

  • Comment removed

  • darby wouldnt even stay on the stage hed be singing from the crowd

  • Wrong, Darby would be passing out or cutting himself or some other shit.

  • didnt he try cleaning up the stage antics towards the end

  • I believe so, but I'm not too sure.

  • i bet some stupid pozer thinks hes the real darby crash. its a fucking shame.

    fuck shane west, he will never have the balls to do half the shit the real darby did

  • @XxOiScouT138xX He isnt trying to do half the shit Darby did.

  • @XxOiScouT138xX no shit why would he get all doped up and go on stage. Its not like every punk is mainlining heroin

  • @DoctorCheech uh, no shit, i know not every punk fucks with heroin

    but listen to the lyrics, he says hes darby crash, when infact he isnt, darby was way more bad ass then shane west. and heroin wasent the only thing darby did that made him a bad ass.

  • @XxOiScouT138xX If you didn't know... the band contacted him to play the part of darby crash and they were very open about it.

  • your not darby crash your not a social blast ,just an imposter

  • their new singer is even more gay than darby used to be coz he takes himself too serious......a pity coz they used to be fucking great.....now theyre a fucking joooke and the whole vans warped tour is a goddamn joke!

  • not darby but still kindof fun

  • wow that guy is a straight up jock

  • No sir, you are not Darby Crash. I love the Germs and I'm glad they are playing again, but don't pretend to be Darby.

  • darbys spirit will not stand for this shane will be punished for blasphemy against punk rock, he is n longer a child of the mighty blue circle

  • wow fuck this

  • pat smear rocks

  • Hey guess what they're recording with him....

  • no way are they really

  • @theotherone  that sucks.

  • @theotherone no... please god no!! DARBY WOULD NOT APPROVE!!

  • this is so shitty.

    like i understand that the germs wanted to tour again, and play and stuff.

    but shane is so lame :/

    they couldve at least found someone who doesnt have to act to be good.

    and hes not even good.

    :/

    theyre not even the germs anymore.

    but i love everyone on that stage except poser west.

  • their not there to replace darby, asshole

    they just wanna bring the experience to the dumb fuckin kids who "loves the germs so much" [like you] to them

  • this is ultra-stupid.

  • darby fark

  • your doody

  • dafbys shoes? cmon guys he mighta been cool to talk bout but he was a wreck on stage

  • seeing pat smear at warped tour is just depressing. he deserves so much better. its kinda like social D playing with only mike ness and jerry only's receding devillock. no one can replace paul beahm/bobby pyn/darby crash

  • Saying Shane ruined the Germs is like saying Henry ruined Black Flag. It was really up to the bands.

  • That's funny because Henry did ruin Black Flag.

  • Greg ruined Black Flag. Plain and simple.

  • didnt greg g. form black flag...

  • Yeah he did, but he also broke them up.

  • oh lol

  • you are not darby crash mr.west

  • NO.

    NO.

    NO.

    NO.

  • Give him a break, nobody could fill Darby's shoes. doubt any of these kids know who the germs are anyway.

  • fuckin lame rip off

  • darby crash was better

  • they suck !!!

  • fuck you

  • Fuck you faggot!

    The Germs kick your prissy teeth in you fucking SCUM!

  • ehhhh -_-

  • Constructive criticism:

    At least Shane's not trying to be Darby. He's not wearing the same clothes and not trying to sing just like him.

    He sings the songs. Just like you would if you sang it.

    But nobody can Darby a song.

  • Dwain,

    Shane GOT his hair cut

    THEN got a mohawk

    HAS three safety pins in his ear

    AND HAS DARBY'S TATTOO!

  • Hair cut? Mohawk?

    Yeah, nobody has that.

    And every picture or video I've seen so far he doesn't wear safety puns in his ear. And also, about the hair, I remember videos and pictures of Darby with all kinds of weird haircuts.

    And yeah, that tattoo might be a little much but it's kind of cool too. For ease of the movie it makes sense, but it's a cool tattoo anyway. ESPECIALLY if you're taking over from where Darby left off.

  • YOUR NOT DARBY CRASH!

  • he never said he was darby crash

  • the first lyric he sings is "I'm darby Crash." :P

  • hahaha i know but he dosent claim to BE darby crash. when you sing this song you don't substitute your name instead of darby's, right?

  • right and that was a joke kinda thing not to be taken seriously....

  • being one who shot the film the Decline.....

    and having been around the Germs back then.

    it is my opinion that the use of the germs song's and image without Darby is absolutely ridiculous....its like kinda "sick" (meaning REALLY,,,the word,,,sick) to make money off a dead guy who was so much the complete and total force behind the name Germs....it's not good,,,not good at all.

  • those are beautiful lifts he is wearing.

  • what happend to punk...just seeing this video makes me apathetic and disgusted of what music has become.

    a big bouncer making the kids unable to really even be able to be apart of the show

    no moshing

    no pit

    no real energy

    i only wish that some kind of real chaotic movement would come about in america. bring back real anarchy like how the uk has.

  • I ll tell you what happened:

    Rich pussy ass kids and "sue happy" parents !

  • this was okay but darby was way better

  • Darby would make a better facist leader than Obama for sure.

  • i dont think he's all that bad. i'm just glad they are still doing this.

  • you are not darby crash.

  • hey Pat, how are you?

  • For those of you slagging off Shane, you do know that Smear and Lorna ASKED him to tour with them.

    He isn't "trying" to replace Darby, he is simply filling in. Because Darby can't be there.

    I love punk. I am 45 and still listen every day. Most of you complaining weren't even around for the first wave, the second wave or the third..........Enjoy your fucking Blink 182 CD's.

    How many of you actually saw the original Germs? Most of you who are bitching aren't old enough to remember this band.

  • Saw them last night in Denver, great show! He actually does a pretty good job.

    Wish I was around to see them when Darby was alive, though.

  • i like when shane took a shot at the guy who threw a beer at him

  • not in this video. in denver last night.

  • Yeah, that was kinda funny.

  • Have you seen the original Germs and if you did how hard did it rock?

  • I do have to say, he does a better job at singing than darby crash. Cirlc eone was one of the only Germs songs that Darby actually sung in instead of screaming while on speed and heroin

  • Actually you are'nt Darby Crash, you are a stuck up asshole actor who was in A Walk to Remember, stick to your guns and stay with that pussy chick movie shit

  • how can you say you miss darby after ranting about the shit being dead. you're a dumb motherfucker.

  • He wouldn't be playing by now. He'd be doing what Crass did, run an anarchist house and farm and shit. Alright, so he wasn't an anarchist. Maybe he'd run a fascist community.

  • I have to say It takes a lot of balls to fill Darby's shoes.BUT SHANE WEST WHAT THE FUCK GET HIM OFF THE FUCKING STAGE AND OUT OF THE FUCKING MUSIC.

  • IT TAKES A LOT OF BALLS TO FILL DARBY CRASH'S SHOES

    plus he's an actor, so everything you see up there is an immitation of darby, but it's a fucking good one, the body movments, the swagger, the half drunk singing

  • Maybe he's been method drinking.

  • shane: fuck off

  • Lorna and Pat obviously saw some talent in him. It's not Darby, I know. But it's a pretty good imitation.

  • Just that: an imitation. Y' know Darby'd kick his ass off the stage even he did do a passable Darby.

  • shane west is a prick for trying to replace darby. that blonde head is me! the one in your way the whole time. fuck yee. this guy is still and asshole though. look at him trying to dance around as if he was ever half as great as darby ever was. bastard.

  • he shouldnt be aloud to sing this song. fuckin sxe actor asshole

  • and hes not darby crash

  • shane west sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • sacré DARBY, t'étais si.....mignon en 81 !

  • The new movie is'nt bad but they should have had Shane lip sink and shut his fucking Yap.

  • FUCK SHANE WEST.

    he's a fucking piece of shit, with a lot of audacity.

  • i think it's great they are out playing these awesome songs.unfortunatey darby crashed died along time ago.i think new people should be exposed to the excellant music of the germs.shane west does justice to these songs.get over it.

  • Sounds like Crash. Amazing how ir is close to Darby voice and way of singing.

    Much Better than the Fake Kennedys and the Mishits.

  • it doesnt make any sense for him to do this song, in the lyrics its "Im Darby Crash" and no Shane West is not Darby. but at least touring with shane west is wayy better than hearing all that shit music they have now.

  • i cant believe that shane west is the new singer for the germs.

    i actually didnt even find out until after i watched what we do is secret and looked them up again.

  • haha why is shane west singing this song

    cus the lyrics say im darby crash lol

    XD

  • thats exactly what i was thinking haha.

  • Dear faggots,

    Shut the fuck up and enjoy the music.

    Darby Crash was a fuck up, which is why he's dead.

  • fuck you asshole, if you had any idea what music was you wouldn't respect this bullshit. :)

    and how can you even tell others to enjoy this music when you'd insult the fucking founder you fucking imbecile.

  • dear poser, darby crash is dead thanx to heroine. a fuck dumbass like yourself woul like shane better. go pump some blink 182 and dont fuck with what you know nothing abou GI fucking GERMS

  • dear dumbass, you spelled heroin wrong. stop trying to act like you know everything about darby and the germs, i highly doubt you were even alive back then. just shut up and enjoy the music, or dont. your choice.

  • the germs are one of my favorite bands. Darby crash was a great performer and i'm just as pissed as anyone that this cheesy hollywood MOTHERFUCKER thinks he can just slip in and take the place of someone who can't be replaced
