All hail Lagwagon

[Cheerios4u98]

The only Lagwagon song I know is Violins and I always loved it so I don't know why I've never listened to any of their other music. I especially loved this super fast live version

What a song, good choice sir. I love Ghostrwite...Minus was also the first BA song I ever heard.

What Tats do you have @Speedo ? This will be my first

It holds a special place because I’m a massive RKL fan and the the shoutouts Caper gives in the chorus:

“And it survives you
Hey Derrick
Soils you
Hey Jason
Silences you
Hey Bomer”

Apart from being the first Wagon drummer, Derrick played in RKL from 2000-2002. All three of them passed in 2005/2006. Twelve Steps was one of the last records Derrick played on before he died.

I have two, my Screeching Weasel tat and the New Wave panther. The SW one was just a spur of the moment decision when I was in Brooklyn but the Against Me! one was paid for by Warren, the drummer at the time, when I saw them in Glasgow so it has a cool back story.

the fuck outta here, it seems we gotta share warren stories. super bummed he stopped way back then. def my favorite of the bunch and a super nice guy.

He was fucking great, him and Andrew both were extremely cool everytime we saw them and actually remembered me and my friends throughout the years. I doubt they'd recognize me anymore though. We met up with them at SxSW in Austin and they got us in the show and on stage to sing We Laugh At Danger ... Laura and James were always cool too but I never interacted with James that much and Laura was always intimidating. She still took every picture and chatted everytime I talked to her and she always responded on Twitter but I Warren and Andrew were always out and about before and after shows and would let us tag along.

Rough mix of Wind In Your Sail, from the comp "All The Punk...Fit To Print"

This sounds identical to the record. What a song, 600 views? In an ideal world, Lagwagon would be as popular as ACDC

When I saw them in NJ on tour for Railer, I walked up to Flip while they were waiting to go on stage. He fucking towered over me. To put things in perspective, I'm six foot two. Usually I'm the one that towers over everyone ?

An old video surfaced of the band playing at the Berkeley Square in 1994 (26th August 1994!)

Lagwagon kicked my ass and took my name

[Thibaut182]

Very cool trivia (which I just found out today!)

The intro of Change Despair is from the movie "Welcome to The Dollhouse" from 1995. Mind blowing!

Bye For Now introduction from Chips

Lazy introduction (from the Buffy The Vampire Slayer movie from 1992)

Mama Said Knock One Out (from the movie The Last Boy Scout)

No Use For A Name also did this for certain songs (On the Outside, Not Your Savior, Lies Can't Pretend, Pride, The Answer is Still No to name a few)

 

 

[Drama-Free Jan]
