Facts 💯💯💯

I used to play in a hardcore band in El Salvador in the early 2000s. Somehow, one of our shirts and our album made it all the way to Mr. Vinnie Stigma. He sent us a picture of himself wearing the shirt, and that was a major highlight in our career. It was incredible for us, a band from a third-world country, to see a true legend like him rocking our merch. Best episode ever-it's going to be hard to top this one!

He has mad respect for the Latin punks- Roger and Freddie are Cuban. Plus Union 13 and The Casualties (Jorge) is Mexican so I bet he understands the privilege to play music- rock on amigo

That’s awesome, I would have been so moved, Vinny is the true legend, that’s supporting hardcore!!!!!

The story he tells at the church is one of the most fascinating bits of Italian-American Roman Catholic history I have ever heard. It could be a whole movie itself; the story of a young kid with an idol of a saint, being chased down by the mob.

I know Bo and Colin are not people of faith, but I deeply appreciate how respectful they are towards Vinnie as he shares about his faith and how it sustained him. There are those of us out there who do believe in a higher power, but instead of trying to control people, we work to make sure that higher power is known through justice making, serving, and loving one another.

I'm not a man of faith myself, but I have a great deal of respect for those who can be but also can respect others choice not to. I always figured that one's choice of spirituality and faith (or lack thereof) was a deeply personal thing and trying to force one's choice onto other's isn't cool. Wishing you all the best with leaving the drink behind dude.

The fact the last cup of coffee didn't have enough to fill the cup all the way and Vinnie took it right away so the boys would all get full cups speaks volumes on that man's character. Idk why, but it just does, fuhgeddaboudit

Every time Vinnie says “anyway” in response to someone kills me, especially 34:26 😂

THE definition of NYHC. From the beginning til the end, he's been there. Nothing but respect for this man and his undying love of HC.

This episode is sooo amazing. Stigma showing and talking about everything in the neighborhood is the best. This should win some kind of 2024 podcast award.

Take a drink anytime Vinnie says "fahgetabowdit"

Vinnie is really a fine ambassador/tour guide for old NY. Such a personable,colorful guy. He can sure bring these stories to life. This was such an enjoyable video.

I would love to see Vinnie and Joey Diaz have a conversation.

The story about the Pete Steele Magazine prank is amazing. Voorhees played a few UK shows with AF in the 90s and decided to prank Vinnie by telling him that when it comes to money in the UK "the bigger the coin the higher the value", so he was cherishing all these 2p coins over £1 coins haha, legend.

Hahah that's amazing. The dude who was on last week has an amazing Stigma prank story too. Remember that old pre youtube meme video of the dog doing another dog and vomiting? Tom didn't know if Stigma would remember him after seeing him 15 years after Indecision toured with AF. Stigma comes up to Tom going "hey kid, you still got that video of the two dogs fucking and one of them vomiting?". Tom remembers that everyone had it on their laptop and tries to figure out if they showed it to him or something, all while Stigma goes "i've got my eyes on you, kid" multiple times over the night. Later on realizes the timeline didn't add up at all, so Stigma just linked him to a loose date, said that and had him think about it all night. So fucking funny.

​@@misanthropist3 Voorhees also had a run in with *Robin Williams* in NY too. They saw him in the street and approached him for a photo, Robin apparently in a pretty shit mood just said 'Fuck Off' when one of them tried to sneak a pic with him... so off they fucked. BUT a few moments later they suddenly see Robin Williams running towards them, where he proceeds to genuinely apologize, chat for a while (mimicking their accents) and take some photos (including literally taking a photo of Voorhees without him in it haha)

Could listen to Vinny all day he’s a walking lesson in NYC History he represents a city that doesn’t exist anymore now filled with Whole Foods and Chipotles .

Saw AF like 2 weeks ago in Munich Germany and Stigma is still a machine at this age. Guy has more energy than most teenagers today and is a big inspiration for many people. Peace

Stigma constantly saying “ok anyway” to Bo is hilarious

If you say his name 3 times in a Taco Bell restroom mirror, rumor has it he will appear

I have a picture with Vinnie and Roger when I was 15 that has never left whatever bedroom in residing in for 18 years, absolute legend.

Two minutes into the episode I realized that this must be the best Hardlore episode yet! 🎯 I was also at the Dynamo Eindoven in 1995. The ticket cost 25 guilders (€13) back then. That was the first time I saw Madball. (also Type O Negative, Machinehead and Nailbomb) Best concert ever ..117k people and no cell phones !

Vinny is so nostalgic I love hearing him talk about the old days, pretty soon there won’t be any of these amazing men

As someone who grew up watching the metal documentaries and all the stuff on vh1 classic i can't tell you guys enough how cool it is that y'all captured that exact vibe for hardcore. This is not just an episode this is like a film it's just so cool what you guys are able to do and I can't thank you enough for doing it

Stigma gave so many real life lessons about respect, love, looking out for others, doing things right and being honorable. This is hardcore. ❤️

I have met Vinnie Stigma many times in my HC show days and he was always so respectful to me. I cherish my photos with him, a true gentleman, every time. I was one of the few females in our hc scene back in the early 90s. ❤

Awesome! So cool...I could listen to Vinnie for the rest of my days. Who needs TV if you got good old Vinnie?!

5 minutes in and this is the best ep of hardlore easily

Never thought I’d see a hardlore interview in a cathedral. So wild and interesting !

That Underdog shirt is CLASSIC.

I 1st met Vinny & Roger in 1992 in Bristol England, was introduced to the by my mate Gabba (was and still is Chaos UK guitarist). I was halfway through prospecting for 1 of the big 1% clubs at the time. Fast forward to 2004 and serious injuries have ended my 1% career and I'm reunited with Vinny, Roger and the Gallo brothers. For the next 6yrs I spent many good times with the AF lads and in 2010 Vinny and me decided to start the Vinny Stigma Over 50s Club with another 3 Brits. Was only 5 of us and already we were older than the United States. Haven't seen AF since 2014, I dont go out to gigs, pubs etc due to a brain injury from my Army service BUT Vinny my friend Mad Danny is going to make sure I'm at your next gig in Bristol, England so come back again soon mate🇬🇧

Easily the most interesting video yet. Could listen to Vinnie tell stories for hours

Hung out with the lads in 1998 briefly on there first Australian tour. Proper gentlemen. True Godfather!

Thanks Vinnie..you are a true legend..and nothing but mad respect..AG and Madball are two of my favourite bands…thank you for sharing your thoughts and your neighbourhood..NYHC for life..🤘🏽 From the west coast of Canada

Loved every second of this episode. Was on Wikipedia every couple minutes reading up on the lore he was talking about (re: Murder Inc). 10/10

This should go in a hardcore museum somehow. Growing up in NYC its amazing watching people witness this stuff for the first time. The amount of culture even on one block is more than some states have

God damn Vinny's schedule was jam packed on Sundays

I live in NY and the most NY thing that's ever happened to me was leaving a Madball show and seeing Vinnie Stigma taking pictures around the block.

Great fkn video. Seriously. Hail Vinnie. Im new here. And the guy wearing the Celtic Frost shirt a big HAIL

Vinny is exactly what you expect and hope him to be. He is all the best of NYC.

Brilliant video. Vinnie is one of the wisest and funniest people alive. 100 years in that apartment which is probably rent controlled, why would he ever leave? The rent is probably less than most people pay to park in Manhattan

This is the best episode and it isn't close. Thank you, Hardlore for this.

This was so comforting to watch. an ADHD KING!

Beautiful and as important as the Godfathers of hardcore doco,,,thanks for doing this

This is awesome. Vinnie seems like a great guy and the interview was incredible. Great job, guys. Don't know how you guys are gonna top this one.

That Beer Olympics at the Masquerade was fantastic. I think it was in 2000. Long story short, Vinnie Stigma actually helped me out on the 2nd day of that show while I was getting an earful from a cop. I had gotten kicked out at one point on day 1 and snuck back before getting asked to leave again towards the end. On Day 2 a cop outside was "warning" me, and Vinnie came over and kinda smoothed it over in his typically charismatic fashion and turned it into a non-issue. Incredibly classy guy who really loves hardcore punk and everyone in it from the bottom of his heart.

Saint Vinnie 🙏

Met vinny at my job last year. One of the kindest gentleman ive ever met 👍

Give respect

hes always in great shape in every way. San Rocco is very loved here in italy, nice saint with his dog.

This is so so good. Could watch hours and hours of this

Stigma is a legend! Stigma has a huge heart! Stigma forever!

This is an amazing piece. Great work thank you for doing this and capturing these moments. Vinnie is stigma has legendary persona

Vinnie starts the show by taking them St. Patrick's Cathedral and introducing them to Saint Rocco of Genoa. That Italian-Catholic heritage, it runs deep, even for those who are no longer a part of the church (like myself). Incredible stuff. Hardlore.

There's no o.g more of an o.g than an Italian. 💯. I'm half Italian so I can say that. Stigma is a legend of legends. I ain't the biggest a.f zealot but he's good people. 🇺🇲🎼

This is amazing, I’ve been hoping to see AF on the show for a while. Something’s Gotta Give was the first hardcore album I ever listened to, of course I love em to this day. Stigma has got some serious lore

This was a good interview of Vinny, you captured him... Thats coming from a guy that has known him since 1980...

Stigma is from the generation when being a Catholic skinhead/punk kid was normal. God bless ‘em 🙏✝️

STIGMAAA! Dude's got stories and riffs for days

As someone who saw Vinnie in Madball! I’d love to see it again

This was so awesome! Vinny is the Real Deal! .

Fantastic episode

I've always heard Vinnie was a great guy. One of my hometown heroes and friend, Brian Craig - drummer, played with Turmoil and toured Europe with Vinny in the early 90s. I think it was Madball, not AF. The stories he told about drinking and hanging out with Vinnie where the Berlin wall had been... great stuff. RIP Brian, always remembered and always loved.

What an absolute legend

one of the coolest episodes of Hardlore to date.

Coolest dude on the face of the planet

Didn't think Vinnie could be any cooler until he pulled out the Steelers coffee mugs

This is the best thing on the interwebs.. well done 👊

What can I say, great man, great music, the heart of AF.

that was an awesome interview. Thanks!

Probably my favorite episodes of the show!

This should have millions of views

Stigma is definitely one of the last Mohicans . No pun intended.Stand up human. 🕶️PMA

There's no words how good this was...

What a beautiful gent Vinnie is. Respect. 🙏

All time legendary episode congrats on this one!

Stigma IS NYHC!!!!! Some amazing sights and stories here!

Mike's voice sounds like the NYHC version of Lars Ulrich but more coherent

Fn Vinnie is awesome. This is exactly how he always is. Mad cool

What an episode. This is gonna be a tough one to beat! Vinnie making you guys coffee and surviving up fresh cannolis in his apartment? Fuckin amazing!

Love the Peter Steele mentions. He was a gem!

This is the best episode and Stigma is an absolute legend. However, there are three live AF records from CBGB, not two.

reusing the same intro joke for all of these episodes is next level comedy

Bad Brains and many of early Boston drove the sound to the tag that got stuck the moment Vancouvers D.O.A. released Hardcore '81. But Hardcore as a subgenre, Bad Brains and Boston Not L.A. took the 40:54 helm in development. From a European perspective that is. You gotta remember it was all D.I.Y. with no Internet so it was serious work to order just an issue of Flipside or Maximum R'n'R, never mind the records ordered thereafter. In Europe Discharge and GBH aside Finland sure provided the most Hardcore bands in the sense of speed and menace. There are certain Bands from all over the country adding up for sure and the mushroomed scene was small so subdivision was of no use really.

I tried to tip Seely 10 bucks at a King Nine show buying merch and he just said "No".
