Although punk rock was initially said to be one-dimensional and devoid of instrumental technique, many bands proved to be adept at both playing their instruments and writing songs (
X
,
the Minutemen
,
the Police
,
the Dead Kennedys
, etc.). As evidenced on the live release
Germicide -- Live at the Whiskey 1977
, California's
the Germs
were not one such band. This lo-fi live set shows that the group barely knew how to play their instruments, play in time, keep a steady tempo, or truly function as a live band. But due to their in-your-face attitude and confrontational live performances,
the Germs
became one of the most influential punk bands ever --
Nirvana
,
Foo Fighters
,
Jane's Addiction
, and
the Offspring
have all admitted their admiration. Even though
Iggy Pop
had laid the groundwork for such punk shockers as
Germs
singer
Darby Crash
years before, audiences often had hostile reactions toward the band. Throughout
Germicide
,
Darby
is heard taunting the audience with insults as the crowd showers the band with debris.
The Germs
soldier on nonetheless, attempting to perform such classics as
"Forming,"
"Sex Boy," "Let's Pretend," and tracks that are unavailable elsewhere ("Suicide Machine," "Teenage Clone," etc.). Although 1993's
MIA -- The Complete Anthology
is superior,
Germicide
is one of the few existing live documents of the band. The musical equivalent of carsickness. [Note: The 1998 reissue features pictures and liner notes not included in the original version, as well as added bonus tracks.] ~ Greg Prato, All Music Guide
