greg ginn quotations

  • "Punk rock really came out of N.Y. as a philosophy before the groups were ever recorded. I had a kind-of intellectual interest in the idea of creating a new scene that could be a grassroots thing."
  • "Stores can be indifferent to something new."
  • "The English scene got more media attention with their emphasis on fashion, with the safety pins and all. There were some really good bands over there. The Sex Pistols were great."
  • "The biggest disappointment has been seeing the number of people in this business with very shortsighted views."
  • "Most good things happen with time; especially music, which needs time to breathe and to find its own way."
  • "It took us two years to get our first real gig. That was a big dream. We ended up booking a lot of our own gigs and putting on a lot of our own shows. We were trying to get our actual music across, trying to make a connection there."
  • "Black Flag was formed in 1977. We first recorded in 1978."
  • "I had business experience. I had made my living designing and building electronic equipment. Basic business was not new to me, but the music business was completely new to me. I knew nothing about distribution, or any of those things."
  • "I like a lot of electronica. I like older jazz rather than newer."
  • "I still think the best metal bands have a blues feel. The first Black Sabbath album is kind of a bludgeoning of blues. Deep Purple also started out as a blues band."
  • "As a label, you have to treat every group and every record as a unique entity. I think that that has been our success, rather than relying upon a fan base."
