GBH

It could come from massive guitar tone, attitude, and rhythmic force.

The Pistols became an important influence on the generation that produced not only hardcore bands like Black Flag, Discharge, and GBH, but also Metallica, Guns N' Roses, Motley Crue, Megadeth, and many others.

Steve Jones' thick guitar sound was particularly influential on harder rock and metal that would emerge during the 1980s.

Their significance, as just described, extends well beyond punk.

I'll say I love Slayer, so I can tell you that.

GBH, I would, I would tour with GBH.

Yeah, Suicidal Tendencies I would go-

There's, uh, Battalion of Saints.

I love that you said MDC-

Yeah, yeah, yeah

... because, like, everybody can say DRI, everybody can say GBH-

Mm

Came out in 1981 on Clay Records.

Going against GBH with the sick boy 7-inch.

1982, Clay Records.

No pressure.

Kev, what do you think?

Okay.

GBH is very cool.

They got a lot of style.

They're still around, but they put on these giant shows.

So one of the first shows we played out there was at the Santa Monica Civic Center with GBH and opening for GBH and SSD.

And that was like 5,000 people there.

It was just, we'd never seen a crowd that big.
