Keith Morris (currently of OFF!, formerly of Circle Jerks and Black Flag) was recently interviewed. In the interview he discussed various music projects, his dreadlocks, Green Day, drugs and more.
“I know there is a large musical landscape. When you talk about a landscape, you’re usually talking about something that is fairly horizontal. Let’s talk about Green Day. I went to a Green Day concert. There is like 4,000 people there. The Queers opened, they were a lot of fun. The Muffs played, they were a lot of fun. I dig them as people. Green Day played and I really liked what they did. I was impressed. I was seriously impressed. But, between each band, I couldn’t discern one band from another. It was like an American Idol version of punk rock. Everything was padded and sad. There just wasn’t a lot of color being tossed around. Too much horizontal and not enough vertical. When you’re horizontal, you are sleeping. When you’re horizontal, they fold your arms over your chest and bury you in a suit and I’m not into that. I’m all about the energy and being angry and screaming and yelling and jumping around trying to stir some shit up. So, I was at this concert, this rock performance, the bands performing were happening, but the music in between was not. It was indiscernible. I don’t have time for that.”
