“Woody Weatherman showed me two beats, the "do do dat, do do dat" rock beat and the "ooh at ooh at ooh at" punk beat and other than that I was pretty limited. I had just gotten a drum kit for Christmas, which I was stoked about so I was ready to go. Back then, the prerequisite for playing punk rock drums wasn't very high, it was really pretty generic as I'm sure you can imagine.” TwoImagineRocksReadyBeatsPunkPunk RockWoodyPrerequisitesGenericReally PrettyWeathermen Author:Reed Mullin
“I don't think we really planned it ahead of time but rather oozed out of our pores. All three of the demonstrative themes of Corrosion of Conformity are on there. The Hardcore/Punk from the 80's, the late 80's/early 90's mathy metal and finally the more Pepper, swampy/doomy stuff. We love all three so that's what came out on the album and I think it came out magically.” ThinkingThreeStuffLateAlbumsThemeConformityMetalsPunkHardcorePeppersAhead Of Time Author:Reed Mullin
“We've played with Black Flag, Bad Brains, Minor Threat, The Ramones. You name any punk band and we've probably played or toured with them all the way up to and including Soundgarden, who we've toured with three times now. We also toured with Metallica for a year. But yeah, Megadeth was the only one we were a little sketchy about because um, it was a little sketchy.” WayYearsLittlesThreeNamesBlackBrainBandYeahThreatIncludingFlagsPunkMinorsThree TimesMetallicaRamonesSketchyMegadeth Author:Reed Mullin
“Pledge Allegiance was a pretty generic name back in the day. In the 80's I was the promoter for all the punk rock shows and I'd book Black Flag, Dead Kennedy's, Minor Threat etc and I'd hook them up with places to stay if needed so it's hard to keep track of it all.” IfsBookHardShowsNamesBlackRocksNeededThreatTrackEtcFlagsPunkMinorsHookPledgeAllegiancePunk RockBack In The DayGenericPromotersGeneric Name Author:Reed Mullin
