Keith is the king of telling great stories and history recall from those days man

I love Keith for many reasons, but it’s awesome how he’s not ashamed to be a big fan of rock and roll.

Keith Morris is awesome. The “Nervous Breakdown” EP from Black Flag is great. The Circle Jerks were amazing. OFF is dope. Flag is awesome. Other than that, cool.

The same happened with DEAD KENNEDYS, just less people included. Jello was wrong,he would be a big nobody without his great band (i like his other stuff,but nothing comes close to DK's), but the rest of the band was wrong too, Jello was the face of DKs,without his voice and lyrics they would be forfgotten today.

Keith has the gift of gab.

Love how he doesnt sugarcoat his views of Greg

Keith Morris is the shit!!

Much love and respect to Keith.

Keith is a great personality, very charismatic, yet very real no bs attitude. When he waa talking about Santa Monica Civic Center that gave me goosebumps: all those legendary bands

They didn't appreciate that Cheetah Chrome story. I met him in Houston at a Sylvain, Sylvain show and got star struck. I had been covering dead boys songs since I was 12 and I wanted to tell him so bad. We took a photo and hung out that night. I don't even remember if I told him I played music.

I remember seeing the Golden Voice 25yr in Santa Monica... it was an epic line up with an epic crowd of people. I'll never forget it

Love this so much. Keith is THE man.

I wish the dude would just let Keith talk.

When I think of California in the late 70s I’m not like everyone else who suddenly starts humming Hotel California. I start humming nervous breakdown or any of the tunes from group sex.

I was a young The Last fan in Hermosa at the time.

As much as I love pure hardcore punk and all the other extreme genres it inspired it’s cool to hear someone from that scene list all the different artists I always felt that hardcore punk had got to a point where it had to be for purists and if you liked anything slightly different you were thrown out of the scene

Greg & the band hung out over an hour talking with fans. I tire of this political bullshit amongst Black Flag members.

It takes a true scumbag to pull that kinda garbage, especially on those who are or used to be friends or associates. I mean think about it, even his own brother thinks he’s a lowlife, that really says something about his character. I absolutely love Morris, I’ve been a fan for decades but I do disagree with one statement that he made, Greg Ginn is NOT a great guitarist...not even a decent one.

Always amazed that there still is interest in this "music!" 🤣
