Red Medicine changed me in high school. Great fucking record.
Owen Morgan
Excellent Post-Hardcore band. Which one do you think is better, Red Medicine or The Argument?
Holy shit, this.
Funny thing, I actually think MCR took a lot of influence from Fugazi on The Black Parade. I have to say, I've lived that period, and I've said that MCR was one of the greatest art punk bands ever since the Black Parade released. At first I hated it, dismissing them as prurient Pop-Punk infidels, until listening to it a year later (in 2007). It's as if Red Machine-era Fugazi attempted to make their interpretation of Sgt. Pepper, utilizing The Damned-esque darkness and nihilism and Sunny Day Real Estate's melancholic, yet uplifting guitar structure, and tie it together with the ambition, theatrics and grandiosity of Queen. And that's one hell of an album for a quintessential normie pop punk band.
Tyler Morris
I wish I had discovered them in high school
Thomas Murphy
OP here
I'm just getting into them, so far my favorite albums are Red Medicine and 13 Songs. Barely heard End Hits and Steady Diet of Nothing though
Haven't been this excited about exploring a rock band's work in a while, they are so great.
Easton Johnson
Yeah I'm gonna have to give TBP a listen now.
Brandon Wilson
First thing I heard was Waiting Room, obviously. 13 Songs, Repeater and Red Medicine are my summer jams every season.
Jaxon Sullivan
The Argument. But, End Hits is their best LP.
Has anyone gone through the trouble of listening to any of their live records they put on dischord's website a couple of years ago? There's just so muc of it... I'd die for a ranked list of which ones to download
Brayden Perry
How about Instrument, have you guys seen it? Is it worth to watch?
Oliver Bell
>Red Machine-era
Fuck, stupid auto-correct.
Ethan Sanchez
if you've seen too many punk docs from that era recently, wait to watch Instrument. Otherwise, it's a great watch
Liam Cruz
RM and In On The Kill Taker are my faves, but everything is good. Love End Hits.
Nathaniel Lopez
Thanks, I'm going to watch it right now
Jaxson Evans
It's a pretty interesting insight into life in the band, touring and recording. It's mostly a collection of home videos with no real narrative but they all seem like chill dudes and they're fucking killing it in the live segments.
>ice cream-eating motherfucker
Noah Turner
I think Fugazi's one of the few artists I became obsessed with for a while and could only really listen to them, they're fantastic.
End Hits > Red Medicine > In On The Kill Taker > The Argument > Repeater > 13 Songs > Steady Diet Of Nothing.
End Hits is fucking great.
>the part about Brendan's sister's boyfriend asking if was true that they all lived in the same house together without heating and eating only rice and Joe replies that the rice wasn't warm this time
Instrument's great, just don't expect more than a really good collage of a really good band.
Caleb White
Search Fugazi Live Series on youtube, there's quite a few uploads, some of them synced with actual video from the show.
Lucas Robinson
Wow, an actual thread where music is discussed, on Sup Forums?
This is unbelievable.
Ayden Sanchez
Post-hardcore gods, all musical geniuses
Austin Williams
I always wonder when I see that pic... how in the fuck did he get up there? I guess maybe he got a boost from the kick drum? Still, once you're hanging onto the rim, you've got to be pretty athletic to get yourself into that position, especially trying to hold onto a mic with one hand.
Jose Garcia
I know right? I'm proud
Jordan Ross
I can't really think of any other bands where every member just contributes to the sound of the band so much. I can't think of how Fugazi would sound without Guy or Ian, much less Brendan or Joe. It's... impressive.
Asher Adams
Back then, men were men.

Whats your guys favorite side project of the memebers? My pick goes for rites of spring
Julian Adams
I don't really think you can call RoS a side project, since it came before Fugazi, and they were a solid band in their own right.
But to answer your question, Rites of Spring, One Last Wish, The Evens, and Egg Hunt are all great IMO. Minor Threat and Teen Idles are fun, but I never feel like listening to them for very long.
Rumor has it that Picciotto has been working with the anarchist art-punk band The Ex, and I wish they'd finally release some material.
Hunter Sullivan
Yeah he actually makes it look pretty easy. He's built like Bruce Lee though.
Ryan Hill
Don't forget Embrace
Jordan Bennett
I didn't... to be honest, I've never enjoyed Embrace. I really tried, and I even have a CD of that album. I like Ian's other projects, and I actually really like the guitars on that album, but that combo of his voice with those instrumentals just doesn't work for me at all.
Leo Powell
Does anybody know what happens in the scene after the vid cuts off? I remember reading that he fell on the drums right after the vid was cut and he hurt his ribs. But does anybody know the actual details, like was the song interrupted, how did the audience react and how did the show continue?
Nathan Torres
IIRC from "Our Band Could Be Your Life", the drumset got disassembled when he fell on it so they had to stop the song, reassemble it then they continued.
I have the Olympia, WA USA 10/29/95 Live series upload that contains the version of "Shut the Door" as seen in "Instrument" documentary. I'd recommend getting it as I enjoy it a lot.
At the bottom of this article there is a list of uploads to get from the Fugazi live series spin.com
Also found this list of notable performances from an old forum post but I haven't checked them out yet
