Holy shit, this is unbelievable, I've never seen it. What year? Based on the dorkiness of the audience, I gotta say around 1980.

this flick is from 78

The Weirdos are my favorite L.A. punk band.

Solitary confinement is one of the best rock&roll songs ever written (to me).

That singer just takes no fucking prisoners.

I'm Sooo Glad I was lucky enough to have been born at the right time, to see bands like this in the late 70's, early 80's. So much good LA music going on then.

Too many to say just here, but I must mention The Screamers, DEVO, (I know, devo from ohio), (but they played LA a LOT.

Just want to say that the LA scene of late'70's and early 80's was incomparable.

Great Stuff, great stuff. ! ! ! !

(1) Solitary Confinment / We've Got the Neutron Bomb is def one of the greatest rock 45s of all time, any genre

(2) the Weirdos were washed up by the end of 1978 (actually five minutes after they changed bass players) which made "new" bands like Black Flag and 50 others necessary truth! hahahahaha omg there was a hysterical funny

interview in FLIPSIDE recorded by "Al, X-8, and Gerald, Dec 8th 1978 in hollywood" and let's just say there's a lot of yelling and grumbling and more yelling haha

Perfect stranger or no, I will always love u for posting this.

[rockabeatinboogie]

Shit...I'm 60 yrs old,, I just whipped out my air guitar. I was there, the 2 best bands were X & the Weirdos!!!

[HeadsOfKnuckle]

@ThatMiserableCat I agree. There was always a great show to see. My brother and I would grab a newspaper and see who was playing and go on the spur of the moment. I saw these guys several times. Saw Devo , the Ramones, the Germs, DK's, Dickies, too many to remember. Fun times.

[PinkNinja337]
