Clayton’s Corner: Cro-Mags Lookback

This installment of Clayton’s Corner is inspired by the events of Friday night, in which founding bassist Harley Flanagan brandished a knife and stabbed two people, including current bass player Mike “The Gook” Couls. We now reminisce about two past Cro-Mags performances in particular – John Joseph singing with Bad Brains at CBGB in 2006 and a holiday gig at the Highline Ballroom in December 2011.

On-again-off-again lead singer John Joseph also appears in Captured.

    saying j.joseph is making money on harley’s music. please,be realistic!!
    1: they are ALL forming a or the band ,
    2; because one’s a founder does not mean or gives ones the right to screw things up(not just fot himself! that’s what it’s about),
    3; if none of the bandmembers like you, even though you’re the founder, because he’s allways being such an ass and worse, they have the right to throw him out, aspecially after ‘severa’l warnings/talks(i’m sure they did), if he did’t or woul’n't, leave by himself. (just to keep it the good spirit in the band: in other words, “to keep the band a live”),
    4;(every) one(s) can see the man is impossible!! i do not mind the man, not at all. be fair, he is impossible!! it’s dripping all over him,
    5; he, it self, is THË, AND his OWN bloody problem and problem of all, and coursing them it sélf!! (perhaps stil/more problems to come, if they don’t keep him locked up?! don’t want to know what he’ll be capable off).

    the man needs to keep cleaned(CONFRONTED) with himself. (if he gets jailed, he might get confronted. but on the other hand, some/most people never learn or stick to their own (harley),

    i’m not saying he’s the only one who’s being an ass. i´m sure the other members as well, in their own/some way. but, be fair………..harley´s a beast, he´s the worst!!

    i do not think they make that much money. bands like these, they work hard and getting underpaid.
