Black Flag

In the live recording captured in "Black Flag's Mike Vallely stops show to eject asshole," the band was in a tumultuous phase of their career during the early '90s, specifically around the release of their album "My War," which came out in 1984. This period marked a significant evolution in their sound, as they began embracing a more intense, experimental approach that was evident in their live performances. The incident depicted in the video highlights Vallely's reputation as a confrontational frontman willing to protect the integrity of the show, demonstrating the band's raw energy and commitment to their audience.
