Of course most people had heard Nirvana before the Germs...

I don't think the average person-who-has-listened-to-Nirvana knows Pat Smear played for a few shows before Kurt Cobain killed himself though.

The Germs are alright, but they can be really annoying. What We Do Is Secret is one of my favourite punk songs. And I'd heard The Germs before I knew Pat Smear was in Nirvana.

I haven't heard a single note by The Germs, and don't intend to either. Give me fuzz guitar and hate anyday of the year.

Was Pat Smear in a band? I thought he was a clerk in a record store.

Punk rock history, so I'm not going to knock it too much. When I'm in the mood, it's downright engaging--intelligent and noisy.

I bought the GI reissue on vinyl and I think it's pretty fine. One of my favorite examples of minimalistic cover artwork, by the way.

"We Must Bleed" is one of my favorite songs of all time. So great.
