I saw Slapshot in 91-92 and Choke handed the mic off to me for What's At Stake and let me sing the entire song. He said I sounded fucking great. He was super nice to us, I'll never forget that.

I wish I could remember the exact date, but I saw Bad Brains & Slapshot at a show at The Channel sometime during the late 1980's. There might've even been a 3rd band, but, it was awesome.

Sam Black Church, Bad Brains w/Chuck Moseley (HR had lost it by then) and Slapshot. At The Channel in the winter of '91-'92... Epic show.

One of my favorite hardcore singers. He's totally got his own sound .

I was there. It was amazing. Even without HR, Bad Brains we’re the greatest band in the world. Slapshot was a five-piece and was just so aggressive. And SBC, well, you just had to be there. What a show.

Totally unique voice that I’ve been a fan of for many years. The singer “makes” a HC band. Mike Judge, H.R., John Joseph, Jeff Perlin, Raybeez, Roger, Paul Bearer…

Bad brains were AMAZING after 1982. "Quickness" is beyond the beyond. "Build a nation" is a fantastic record; produced by Adam Yauch R.I.P.

Neg FX, that's one of the finest! I miss those days..

The other day I tore off a more then two decades old layer of stickers from the tap of my local bar until I came across the very first sticker: The Slapshot logo. I left it there :)

I was at the show in Camden in November 1982 and I was totally completely in with hard-core at that point. Of course I was a Philly boy so I needed to be at that show. I think the motorcycle gang were called the ghetto riders. I lived in San Francisco for many years, and when I move back to Philly, I was the chef of this restaurant I’m one of the servers and I started to talk about that show, he was much younger, and knew about the show because he got a bootleg record of a live performance from Minor Threat, and it was called live at Buff hall, and Camden, so he gave it to me

Slapshot was the first hardcore band I ever saw. Choke sang while holding a sawed off piece of a hockey stick, which is odd if you think about it. I'd never been to a show/ seen a pit/ seen skinheads and so forth it was a vivid experience.

Like him giving props to these awesome new bands coming out. Respectfully disagree with the Brains comment. The 3 times I saw them in the late 80's were mind-blowing.

Yup; Black Flag, creepy-crawling -- checks out, for the most part...Boston had some great bands: F.U.'s, Jerry's Kids, SS Decontrol, et al. Props from the Bowery ~ Nap

The Channel!!!!

Choke is hardcore

A hardcore fixture from Boston, in a video about NYHC, and, where was his his favorite show? That's right, New-Freakin'-Jersey! Dirty Jerz, represent!

Chunks - by Negative FX is a great song good shit choke!

Joost D. When we were kids in the 80s he had a cult of personality about him. He was "violent" "unpredictable" would beat you If you had a beer in your hand or cigarette in your mouth etc. I've talked to him several times and he was a nice man. I'm intrigued how my friends and I were essentially scared of him 25+ yrs ago.

Joost D. He hated Ray and youth of today. We saw Ray with Shelter in Boston once and Choke was stopping kids walking to the club (Bunrattys) and telling them not to see these “pathetic fucking idiots”. He could get violent at shows. Mostly to younger smaller guys getting into bands from out of state. Wouldn’t do it alone. Had his crew to back him. Bit of a cheap shot artist. I’d say choke was your classic bully.
