Media Blitz [Live]

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
God bless Darby Crash, maybe the only joker who ever out-Vicioused Sid Vicious. Crash did just that, but not before he left behind this testament to being truly young, loud, and snotty. Media Blitz is the soundtrack to watching a kid hold a firecracker just a little too long. "I came into this world like a puzzled panther," Crash drawls on "Manimal," "waiting to be caged." That line aches with truth, as does most of this sloppy, sprawling, occasionally stupid, often glorious piece of work--no surprise then that guitarist Pat Smear later went on to work with Nirvana. --Michael Ruby

4 out of 5 stars Germs - 'Media Blitz' (Cleopatra).......2006-06-20

The Germs career was,sadly cut short when vocalist Darby Crash (1959-80)died of a heroin overdose. Crash (birth name: Jan Paul Breahm) has been said by some to have actually out do Sid Vicious as for living the life of a 'real punk'. Either way, The Germs were a good full-throttled all American punk band, ANY way you slice it. Tracks here that had me sit up and take some notice were "Round 'N Round", the in-your-face "Sex Boy", "Manimal", "Shut Down" and "Throw It Away". Should appeal to fans of Dead Kennedys, The Zeros, Social Distortion, Black Flag and Circle Jerks. A worthy pick of old school punk.

5 out of 5 stars ***RAW PUNK***.......2004-01-22

germs germs germs
raw punk at its greatest this album is live at the whisky and live at the hong kong cafe and thers some studio tracks too i own the album and its great!!! if u havent heard the germs before you should listen to MIA complete anthology. then this one. you'll gain more respect for the germs. maybay another band will come to the same point and create punk jsut as great as this.
A Great ALBum start 2 finish

2 out of 5 stars Bad Recordings.......2003-08-09

I have an vintage (vintage in a bad way) tape player/radio that can make better recordings that what this cd has on it. But The Germs are a really good band so by all means get their other albums just not this.

5 out of 5 stars Punk at its best, bad recordings.......2002-05-20

Darby Crash is a genious, unfortunatley you cant here most of his lyrics in this mostly live CD. It is still a must have for me and will always be on my record player.

2 out of 5 stars Horrible recording of some great songs.......2000-09-30

This disc wasn't worth what i paid for it when I had it ordered for me in a music store. I had to settle for this since the M.I.A. anthology is no longer in stock , and I was very disappointed. "Forming" was the only song worth listening to , the others were muddy and poorly recorded with the bass and drums blocking out the guitar and vocals. Wait for the anthology to be rereleased , don't get this.
