So, I went and saw Black Flag last night...

...and holy smokes, I forgot how much "Nothing Left Inside" paved the way for the Melvins. I know Buzz and the boys (and a lot of the Pacific Northwest) have said before how much side 2 of My War was an influence, but hearing it live really drove that point home. Everybody has an opinion on the new Black Flag, but all I care about is watching Greg Ginn play guitar. Pretty mesmerizing, and his tone is almost exactly the same.
