| | Believe in absurdities and you commit atrocities | | Join Date: May 2005 Location: Cleveland, OH | | | Yeah, Karl pretty much rules it all...heehee ALL!!! He's a very nice guy too. Some of his bass lines I still can't figure out what he's doing! And I've been trying for about 15 years now!!! My band got to stay at Bill Stevensons (drummer for Descendents, ALL, Black Flag, Only Crime...) house for a couple of days while we were on tour out to Colorado. Super great guy (and family!) I think the Descendents are one of the most underrated bands of all time. They practically invented "pop-punk" back in the late 70's early 80's.

| | | | Oi, yeah Tony was the original bassist but Karls playing really helped solidify that band. I've been a fan since '86 and have seen The Descendents 4 times and ALL 6 or 7 times- Karl's truly a monster player and his agressive, melodic, and sometimes freaky bass lines were influential on my playing.
All? NO ALL!

from "Storm in a Teacup":
"Descendants had to record
Sayin' somethin' 'bout Milo "
I think Milo is that character thats on the cover of all of the descendents albums, right?

One of the best punk bands ever...who played bass on Milo Goes to College? Tony Lombardo IIRC - anyways all of them ever were good players to my ears |

They're also mentioned in a Bad Religion song...can't think of the title, but its off of their Process Of Belief album

I'm also not too sure about Tony Lombardo being Dave Lomardo's brother. That doesn't sound right to me....I may be wrong, though.
