American Hardcore - A tribal history

[Merklee]

Im reading this great bood by Steven Blush and came across a funny story that involved Mike

Mark Stern (Youth Brigade)
We came to New Jersey on the Another State of mind tour and Mike Ness got the shit kicked out of him - he literally shit his pants. It was at the club 2+2. I mean of course he was drunk, and he threw a bottle and broke Roger of Agnostic Front's kneecap.

There are all kind of really cool stories from the early days from just about every punk band you can think of.

Good read

Thats funny. Doesn't Mike kinda mention something about that in Another State of Mind? I don't think he mentions shitting he pants though, for obvious reasons. But i remember him saying something about him and Stigma of Agnostic Front getting into a fight or something.

This is another one I highly recommend.
