Sledgehammer! Steak hammer! Today, before the snow and the chocolate cake, let us enjoy the long overdue self-requested reload of the legend of B.G.K.'s hammers. I was hit by the B.G.K. train with the version of Arms Race on P.E.A.C.E., played it 10 times in a row, almost broke my neck. Now 26 years later, Nothing Can Go Wrogn! is still the unmovable hardcore classic that blew me away on day one. Yes, it is the Reign In Blood of hardcore. This record is a masterpiece that would have deserved as much mass reverence and praise as anything from the official punk stars from Poison Idea to Bad Brains (and of course it ridicules anything from Black Flag, but I digress, is it useful to insist on my non-fan-of-Black Flag status). I want to build a time machine and change the year 1988 so that B.G.K. do not split up and make more albums.
The AT discography CD has a misleading title, this disc is not a complete discography, three songs are missing: the last song (that gloomy semi ballad!) from Nothing Can Go Wrogn!, the song Nothing Can Go Wrong (not on the album) and the first rabid version of Computer Control that are featured on the compilations Viva Umkhonto! and Welcome To 1984. But this CD is a great remaster, especially of Jonestown Aloha! and White Male Dumbinance.
Speed, power, elegance, B.G.K.!
!ZER B.G.K. ZER!

  2. mmmmmm BGK c'est ZER!!

    par contre pour ta petite digression sur Black Flag, il faut quand meme te rappeler que BF, les debut c'est fin 77 et que le pre Rollins, ca a ete composé principalement en 78 et 79 et la est toute la difference (a cote de BF, les sex pistols, c'est du vulgaire rock'n'roll, voir de la pop)

    1. C'est pas faux. Et je ne déteste pas BF, on me l'a simplement trop vendu comme la chose ultime, et je les ai connus après Motörhead et Discharge, donc un peu déçu...
      J'ai rien contre le rock'n'roll, même vulgaire :-))
