I remember seeing Fugazi in Seattle about 94-95 ish, and Ian stopped the show because someone was talking trash and throwing things at him. after the band stopped, he asked if that person "wanted to go outside" and handle things like men. that was a cool moment, and that dude backed down and the band immediately picked up where they left off. lol
I went to a show in the nineties in DC. Shudder to Think opened. The crowd was booing and throwing stuff. Ian came out from the back and let it be known that Shudder were his friends and and if they weren’t treated decently, then Fugazi wouldn’t play either.
This is the difference between someone who is punk and someone who thinks they're punk but completely misunderstands the idea. I won't say which way round that is.
It's one of those things that is actually not that big of a deal on paper and I'm not one to get physical pretty much ever but if someone spat on me, I'd probably start throwing some punches
not the better kind.. like . ya know... doin the songs.. idk.. I know the clash did these kinda shenanigans with thier bouncers.. idk.. certainly they knew that.. it's fine.. whatever.. but calling him a "hero" is pretty cringe.
"Er .. I know you like spitting, but I don't particularly like it while I'm playing, but if you get off on it , that's up to your intellect I suppose."
lmao bro most punk bands aren't even musicians. They're all just scene kids who wanted to dress up and be famous. Everyone's a poser, appreciate the damn art, who gives a fuck about the artist
True. Most of the time, those who look the most stereotypically punk, are usually just interested in being contrarians and "against the establishment". Many of them might as well have turned into Neo-Nazi skinheads and just happened to become punks. Some of them even don't think there's much of a difference between the two even though punks should be ideologically polar opposites of Nazis.
I remember an interview (maybe it was even in "Instrument") with some guy outside a Fugazi show, complaining about them being "preachy" or whatever and explaining how punk should be about not giving a shit and just partying. It was some jock who's politically probably a total right-winger. Punk should be about giving a lot of shit.
Ian has elevated and contributed so much to the punk and indie rock scenes. I mean he invented the straight edge hc genre for fucks sake. Don't fucking spit on him.
@@BobbyBasketball19999 Are you saying you didn't know that straight edge originated in the hardcore punk scene? Minor Threat, Earth Crisis, Refused, and tons of other straight edge hardcore bands. So yes, sober punk rock. It's been a huge part of the scene since the late 80s.
was just saying the other nite, you're always safe at a punk show. a complete stranger will pick you up if you fall. the nicest people Ive known are punks.
No. At one Discharge show I saw guy jumping from stage to audience and landing on totally unaware woman resulting that the woman hit her head to floor pretty hard. Safety? Too many morons in punk
I heard that in their van they kept envelopes containing $10 bills in them, the price of admission for the show. Someone acts up they are hauled out back and given an envelope and told never to come back.
A guy in the audience was spitting on Ian so Ian dragged him on stage and intensely asked him to apologize. He did not so Ian said he would have to ask him to leave. He was presumably taken by Ian to exit the building. If this doesn’t make any sense let me know.
@@systematicdecline24wow, thank you for response that fast, you responded to my comment very fast, being this an old vídeo. Now I understand all, really!! Thanks a lot friend, I appreciate this a lot :)
If that kid's still alive I hope he's improved enough to regret this. Lord knows I did some regrettable shit as a drunk fool. Luckily it doesn't exist on video.
They charged 5 bucks no matter what. My Grandfather let them play American Legion Hall even though most old dudes didn't want to let them. In terms of caring about fans, no one can touch them. Not in it for the money.
Ian the singer said "I do not appreciate being spit at" and dragged Spitman up into the stage to kick him out of the show. But before kicking him out, Ian gives him three chances to apologize. Spitman declines the opportunity three times and is then handed over to "event staff."
Ian: Sí, soy un ser humano y estoy listo para una disculpa, y no me gusta ser escupido por otras personas, ¿me entiendes? Sr. Drogado: GKDJEUAOXJKFFK!!!! Ian: ¿Te vas a disculpar? Sr. Drogado: GKDJEUAOXJKFFK!!!! Ian: ¿Te vas a disculpar? Sr. Drogado: GKDJEUAOXJKFFK!!!! Ian: ¿Te vas a disculpar? Sr. Drogado: GKDJEUAOXJKFFK!!!! Ian: Ok, creo que deberías irte.
What i never got about ian is the whole "Straight edge" thing because he'd talk about drunk people fighting at their gigs, and then he'd be the one punching and attacking the audience.
Yea in this instance, but other footage of gigs when he was in Minor threat he'd come on stage and be on his knees headbutting people stood at the front of the stage.

The whole "punks spitting on bands" trend was revolting. Bands actually caught Hepatitis and other shit that way.

I can see the influence Ian had on Henry Rollins...Ian rules!
black flag was formed a decade before fugazi.
@@tcd1289 Yeah but Henry wasn't in the band at first. Ian and Henry grew up together as 12 year olds.

This is a truly moronic take from a veritable dip ass
Punk bands like Talking Heads were actually influenced by televangelists and all that speaking in tongues stuff
He did look like he was about to baptize the guy.
From what I've read over all these years Ian took zero shit. Probably still does not.
"fugazi moment"
certified fugazi moment
The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword! 👍
Mad props for giving the guy multiple chances to apologize. 😮
