Music is just like the recording... Dwid's vocals destroy.
"This goes out to everyone out there who's still Straight Edge, it's called Bringing It Back."
I don't know this guy but I want to.

That second video is killah! I wonder where that show was.. Cool looking venue, minus the barrier.
ReplyDeleteI guess this is also where the back photo for 'Humanity is the devil' was taken.
the outdoor show was played in cleveland in '95.
ReplyDeletealso i didn't realize it until i saw the last vidio in this post: the second riff in "micha: those who fear tomorrow" is the first riff in sepultura's "inner self."
ReplyDeleteOne of the most overrated bands of all time, and legitimate dickheads (and not in the cool, loveable way)

ReplyDeleteHow about this one?
Sacramento - 1994
your wrong, sergeant: the melnicks were never dickheads, and their music certainly not overrated. don't forget they were 20 when they wrote "those who fear..." that's fucking amazing!
ReplyDeleteFair point, I never met the Melnicks. The other members I met certainly were, though.
ReplyDeleteThe guy playing is Rod Woodson.
ReplyDeleteGO STEELERS!
Shit, it is a Redskins jersey... Whoops.
ReplyDeleteBTW - My "code word" to post this comment was "disha".
Hahahaha
This is for Jose, I think I still have those 2 shows(Sac & Reno)on Super 8...
ReplyDeleteSome years back Dwid was in the process of making a DVD so if and when I do find them, I promised to get him a copy as well...
ReplyDeleteBeing from OH, I love some Integrity and Ringworm.
ReplyDeleteWhat are the chances of getting Aaron Melnick interviewed? That would be a good read.
ReplyDeleteFor the Melnick-Fans: check SHIN TO SHIN

Everything else: if I had to listen to only one band it always was and will be INTEGRITY
I once described listening to Integrity to an uninitiated friend... 'Imagine the last scenes in Apocalypse Now with a soundtrack written by a straight-edge Charles Manson.'
ReplyDeleteThis band was never over-rated! They just haven't yet built the right stereo to hear it properly.
I can't tell you how many times in 18 years now I've driven around blasting Micha while punching the steering wheel and trying hard not to smash a hole through the windshield. Also, I almost got pulled over by a cop once while having a scream along into an air mic during Vocal Test.
ReplyDeleteI’ve always loved Integrity’s music, but I’ll pass on the whole Charlie Manson/Holy Terror thing (whatever the fuck that was all about). Seems like some “ooh look at me I’m mysterious and evil” gimmicky shit.
ReplyDeletethe SHIN TO SHIN track on the PT split ends careers, lays human lives to waste, stops running water, discredits verified history and sterilizes wombs within a fifty mile radius.
ReplyDeleteInterview Melnick please!
