Gangland: FSU![views:29354][posts:86]_____________________________________ [Nov 1,2008 1:04am - the_reverend ""] holy shit... FSU is on the history channel right now. |
_____________________________________ [Nov 1,2008 1:05am - the_reverend ""] wow... it's all people that I know. |
_____________________________________ [Nov 1,2008 1:08am - the_reverend ""] the music is so dramatic. |
_____________________________________ [Nov 1,2008 1:12am - the_reverend ""] I love how they have sub-titles on one of the troy kids. |
_____________________________________ [Nov 1,2008 1:15am - the_reverend ""] ha@! I just saw me, but it was from the ICC show. |
_____________________________________ [Nov 1,2008 1:21am - the_reverend ""] they have played the same footage from the BBD DVD over and over. hm... with youtube, they could have done a better job |
_____________________________________ [Nov 1,2008 1:23am - the_reverend ""] yeah! Brian! |
_____________________________________ [Nov 1,2008 1:30am - Whoremastery ""] weird to see brian on tv |
_____________________________________ [Nov 1,2008 1:55am - the_reverend ""] yeah, sad I'm missing the PAL show tomorrow. idk any of the troy guys. and the Penn guys always scare me. |
_____________________________________ [Nov 1,2008 1:56am - the_reverend ""] "FSU related occurrences have declined" yeah, be cause there is no fucking places in boston proper to have hardcore shows. |
_________________________________ [Nov 1,2008 2:16am - grizloch ""] I only caught the last 10 minutes, but I wasnt impressed, I couldnt understand (grammatically) what anyone said, I was supposed to have footage in there, have to watch again the shit about the guy in troy was all bullshit, one guy beat an obnoxiously drunk cokehead to death, and he had been kicked out of fsu for months prior... |
_____________________________________ [Nov 1,2008 2:29am - the_reverend ""] what I don't like about it is that most of the old school guys around here have families and stuff like that brings attention to them. |
_________________________________ [Nov 1,2008 2:41am - grizloch ""] I really dont have a problem with fsu, what it stands for and how it started, most of the fsu guys Ive met have been cool, just some of the shitheads out there fuck it up for everyone else |
___________________________________ [Nov 1,2008 11:47am - MAslayer ""] when was this on?? I watch this series all the time!! When will it be on again? |
______________________________________ [Nov 1,2008 11:48am - the_reverend ""] idk, I've never watched the series before. |
___________________________________ [Nov 1,2008 11:54am - Paul CNV ""] When is it on again? |
________________________________ [Nov 1,2008 6:46pm - c.dEad ""] I saw this. You can see Keith playing in Wrecking Crew in a couple shots and they blur his face! Hilarious. Fun watch, but I wanted to throw my beer at the TV half the time because it was such a load of bullshit. They treat it like its an actual gang and have fucking detectives acting like they took care of some huge Boston gang and "Gang activity has ceased" and all this shit. Totally inaccurate but hey, at least I got to see Keith on the History Channel! |
_____________________________________ [Nov 1,2008 7:59pm - the_reverend ""] that's what I thought about the smug cops. this was totally played up for the story of it. |

___________________________________ [Nov 2,2008 5:59pm - turdzilla ""] FSU isn't a gang. the people at the history channel did a good job but it was just kinda weird. |
___________________________________________________ [Nov 2,2008 11:34pm - CANDY STRIPER DEATH ORGY ""] I've known Chris (had long hair in the beginning) and the whole gang since 1989... I met a few of them when we played with BIOHAZARD at Derringers in Brockton back then. They started coming to our shows and started all of that karate dancing which caught on 3 years later... They've always been cool with us. A couple of the guys were at the 2 WARGASM show's last September. |
_____________________________________ [Nov 2,2008 11:42pm - xanonymousx ""] what was this episode called? |
_____________________________________ [Nov 3,2008 8:45am - orgymf@work ""] FSU freaks me out a bit. i got jumped enough in high school, i don't need to be nervous about the same shit when i just want to enjoy a metal show and a few beers. |
______________________________________ [Nov 6,2008 9:34am - blahblahblah ""] FSU just spouted a load of shit. 1. Driving Nazis out of Boston? - All 5 of them? Great work! 2. Taking over the hammerskin logo? BS. Two FSU guys have the crossed hammer tat. Bruce - cause he liked Pink Floyd and Nazi Dave - cause he want to be a hammerskin so badly he got one ahead of time. Then ran and hit when the real hammers got wind of it. 3. Yes, they have a member named nazi dave despite their "anti-nazi" stance. The whole thing was a load of crap. They are just a bunch of punks that can't fight one on one. |

_____________________________________ [Nov 6,2008 9:59am - the_reverend ""] yeah, it's right there. #8 Rage Against Society. $1.99 FSU has two meanings: Friends Stand United or F**k S**t Up. The gang claims no turf. Their domain is the hardcore music scene. Their path traces back almost twenty years to the streets of Boston. It was there that Elgin James, a mixed-race homeless kid, founded the gang and they made their presence known with brutal force. Battling the Neo-Nazi skinhead, they took back the hardcore venues and made it safe for the others who shared them. One of their mottos is friends don't let friends fight alone. If you fight one, you'll fight them all. We interview founding members of FSU, along with law enforcement, as we uncover the bloody history of a gang you've probably never heard of. |

After FSU started to rise up everything went to shit. Metal and Hardcore shows were few and far between and forget about an all ages show. Most people I knew just didn't bother going to shows anymore because of all the gang shit. At least that's what I remember. This was like 91-92ish mabey 93-94, it was a long time ago. Watch this clip and it pretty much sums up what shows were like 1990 and before http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ciyrNkO0Zg&feature=related |

____________________________________________ [Nov 23,2008 8:44pm - todayistheday nli ""] honestly..when is the last time you saw anything fsu related at a show? i dont get why they are making all these documentaries about them now |
_____________________________________ [Nov 23,2008 8:46pm - shitsucker ""] id rather jack of my own stool |

______________________________________ [Nov 24,2008 8:26am - SkinSandwich ""] Saw this last night, it was funny. I do not know much about FSU, but using "We are defending our brothers" excuse to mob jump one person is pretty gay. Come on now. Then again all types of "gangs" mass jump people all the time, so whatever. But if you openly admit to it as a way of life for the group, then I constitute that being a bit lame. I have met a few FSU members at shows from time to time, and they never bothered me, so whatever. |

________________________________ [Dec 1,2008 7:43pm - bronson ""] I do remember a show back at the Channel when I was in high school where there was a huge brawl between FSU and Hammerskins. It was probably in the fall of 1991. It was a POW/MIA benefit and Sheer Terror headlined. I'm sure that I still have the flyer somewhere. |

____________________________________ [May 22,2009 9:11am - anonymous ""] They have the whole history wrong! I've been going to shows from 1985 on ! anyone remember Channel sunday afternoon shows? Fsu was originally kids from Brocton! Chris, Bill etc. Nathan didn't get down with them until years after it started. And they were a crew of skinheads! Not nazi's and there was never a nazi problem in the Boston scene! The whole History seems to be created and scewed!Nathan didn't start FSU! FSU was around when Glen Dudley was singing for Wrecking Crew! Here's for the old school1 any one remember the "Brooklyn Brocton Connection" ? When FSU started to morph into abigger thing and started get connections with DMS that was the catch phrase. It seems like they have only reported on the second gereration of FSU and not it's origions. |

Watch this clip and it pretty much sums up what shows were like 1990 and before http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ciyrNkO0Zg&feature=related Saw them and Blue Tip, both were incredible Swiz were on the first show I ever saw. It was them, ITI and Killing Time at Club Babyhead (may have still been The Rocket then). I was 15, so that was '88 or '89. |
