Black Flag

Super concert in the end. A lot of hate online, not sure why. I have not had the pleasure of seeing the original lineup but was a bit startled to see Gramps with a bunch of junior uni students. Turns out Gramps still shreds (literally he is mostly making noise with occasional chords) and the new kids on the block snarl, play rolling thunder bass and thunderous drums. The interesting part is how much they now own the material. It's not a cover band, they are redoing the material inside out. Can you imagine a 10 minute 'slip it in' with a 20 year old woman snarling it? Fun bass led circle dance at one point. It might be time to get the drummer some better gear? Lots of potential held back by a rather basic drum kit. Gregg Ginn plays really odd. Clearly he masters his stuff, and this is where BF stands out. It's not two or three cords and everything hurled out. It's noise guitar, detuned and fuzzy, with occasional lapses into tunes to see it all together. And hurled out with venom. The guy looks like he needs a nap but give him a guitar and off he goes Group is tight, they know the material and it's a bit like seeing a reincarnation of BF into something new and interesting. I would see them again for the live playing.

It was my first punk concert and i couldn’t be happier about it, the band was amazing and the experience was to die for I would go again in a heart beat

New singer for Black flag is very cool. She did a great job. Only complaint was the lack of lighting on stage. Could hardly see the musicians. Both bands turned in a great set.

Best show in St.Petersburg all year! Max was unfuckingbelievable!! Greg was slick as s**t. Also, so very nice and sweet. Double duty drums! I was surprised by how cool the venue was.

Ging so. Vielleicht hatte ich auch zu viel erwartet. Musikalisch in Ordnung, aber die Sängerin hat mich nicht überzeugt. Und für das Bier musste man lange anstehen, obwohl längst nicht ausverkauft. Keine Vorgruppe, dafür relativ teure tickets. Unter den 307 Konzerten, die ich in meinem Leben besucht habe, gab es deutlich bessere. Sorry black flag.

Didn't get to go because every single ticket buying website and app either didn't have the concert or sent me to the venue website which didn't have the concert or sent me to the event website which only had a black flag concert in December and halfway across the country Don't get me wrong I love black flag I just wish these apps worked

Wow--I had never seen them live and was worried they wouldn't live up to my expectations. Boy was I wrong--they were freaking amazing! Sounded great, great stage presence, looked like they were having fun (which is what you always hope for, as a fan), the venue was awesome, and the crowd was clearly stoked to be there. I definitely plan on seeing them live again, and will gladly make the 2hr. drive to The Forge for bands I want to see.

Such a great show Mike V was a badass. Don’t even miss Henry Rollins. Well not as much as I did before. Got to meet Mike and Gregg Ginn, and Charles. Awesome show and pretty cool venue.

Great show! Bummed Rollins is no longer with the band but wanted to see them play anyways. First time seeing Black Flag and they did not disappoint.

the bouncers were rude, everything was so expensive a water was 2 dollars and a red bull was 5 dollars. there was little to no safety procedures. the band was great and we had a good time. but new bouncers are needed.

The Black Flag concert at The Brooklyn Monarch was excellent!!! Total Chaos, TSOL, The Dickies and Black Flag were all great . I had a great time!!!

Man all the other bands were great but, blackflag??? Ugh, long intro into set and the energy just was not there. TSOL was the highlight of that show.

Another great show from Black Flag. Naysayers still whining about "classic" lineups forget that this band was always in flux and are missing out on an incredible lineup, a great setlist and a classic frontman himself in Mike Vallely. Linecutters get better every time I see them and I would check them out on their own at this point. And Greg Ginn is an underappreciated guitar god treasure. Great show at the Thompson House, energetic crowd and just a hell of a good time. Flag Forever!

Great show by the legends of Black Flag. The original guitarist is the only man standing after all the years this band has been alive, really worth been in of their shows. Nothing beats an original! Gimme gimme some shows

Good to see Greg Ginn play again after 35 years,didn't really care for the singer that much.Sound at Metro Music Hall really needs some work.Sounded muddy most of the show.

Great show! They had the whole theater going for “Rise Above” and Mike Vallely singing wasn’t bad. Only thing annoying was the sound quality at the Chance, but that is what it is.
