This is the best channel I’ve found in ages. The low quality video production just adds to it, nothing worse than Vox-tier videos talking about punk. Keep it up bro
@@marc3d establishment media aimed at millennials and gen-x. It was a random example I pulled out of my ass, VICE would be a better example. You get the idea, Tome is very DIY which fits in with the subject matter he covers. Whereas paying some LA trust fund kids to talk about punk doesn’t.
Fletcher was our neighbor for about 15 years in Hermosa Beach. The gray house in the background at the :38 second mark was ours. When he moved in, the neighborhood was worried about the noise he'd bring. He didn't. He had one loud party and nixed anymore, mostly because one of his guests missed a curve at the end of the street and ended up in the driveway of a house in Redondo. He was actually Uncle Fletcher to the neighborhood kids. They had to play in a narrow street and, since he had days off, he'd sit on the porch you see there and watch over them. (BTW, he and his father refurbished that house and built that deck together.) We'd often walk our dogs to the dog park together. Great guy!
Dude, Fletcher is my kinda guy. He's got a heart bigger than his body and I believe he's A genuine kind hearted person. Love you Fletcher! Love You "PENNYWISE!!!! 🤘🤘🤘
@@ericcurrier4339 His heart is bigger than you can imagine! He did something in the neighborhood that I'm not a liberty to share, but he filled in for a family that had abandoned a family member.
I was at the show Pennywise played the same night of the Love Lines incident(I seem to recall that Fletcher sprayed the Love Lines studio with vomit) at the Shrine Auditorium with Offspring. My memory is a bit hazy though, so anyone who was else was there can correct me if I'm wrong. Fletcher was totally hammered, a dude almost died from diving into the crowd from the upper level, it was pure chaos.
I met Fletcher years ago after a Pennywise show while he was giving sobriety a try. He was the most chill dude. Very friendly and really easy to talk to. Might be the type of guy whose personality does a complete 180 when he's drunk.
Cheers from Orange County California,, depends on,, the who, so you were obviously chill,, I've met him a few times, always great.. I'm also not young.. 50, they played the Ink N Iron festival in Long Beach CA, when I was production assistant.. Been laughing at the footage
Saw Pennywise in Mesa, AZ back in ‘93 or ‘94 and he was so drunk he kept tripping over all of the cords on stage and unplugging sound and lights. They said they’d be back for a free show as an apology and never came back for it. Guy ruined the show by himself. Love Pennywise but Fletcher is an embarrassment. Hopefully he is better now.
Fletchers a good dude. He does get a little rambunctious when you add booze and you’re never sure if you’re going to jail but it’s memorable for sure. All n all he’s a nice guy.
I watched Fletcher beat the dog shit out of some kid at Mohawk in Austin. OFF! was onstage playing "Jeffrey Lee Peirce" and some kid was talking shit about the song. Keith didn't like that so much, but I think Fletcher was angrier. He jumps off stage headed right for him and put him to sleep.
9 lives. The list is long for the individuals and families that covered (I.e. falsified information) so that he didn't end up being arrested. The PW community covers for one another. Unfortunately, a life was apparently lost in the wake of, what appears to be, a whole lot of punk rock fun. The unsolved 'samurai sword' incident from a break in. Ask around.
At San Diego Warped 97' Pennywise's he was so drunk. He kept shit talking all the ska bands after every song. Jim had to say sorry a few times cause he was messing up songs. I thought he'd have been at an AA meeting the next day cause he embarrassed himself in front of a large crowd but no. They even had the nerve to cover Minor Threat's song "Minor Threat". I always passed on seeing them again. Tome, you put together a good video regardless of the band. I enjoy your content.
Holy shit this makes me cringe, thinking about my decades of drinking & constantly displaying similar behavior. I made the biggest fool of myself, but even worse, I made a fool of my friends & family for having me around their people, knowing that I'd likely act this way. I used to feel so terrible hearing the stories or hearing about the horrible shit I had said to people, but it was never enough to make me quit. I never knew this about Fletcher, but I don't really know him, just Pennywise music. Hopefully he's changed & his people don't have to make excuses for him anymore.
Most accurate comments about Punk Music, seriously! What's been coming out after the 70s/80s is more Radio Friendly/Pop Style versions of Punk. I'm a Metal dude, but still love the Ol' School Punk Music of Yesterday: The Misfits, The Dead Kennedy's, Billy Idol/Generation X, Black Flag...Just to name a select FEW of my favorite from that Genre. Plus, I know I forgot a bunch 😜 Normally, Punk was a complete underground movement, which ACTUALLY EXPLODED IN POPULARITY for well over (2) decades, and I ALSO feels it was a huge Influence on the Nu-Metal Movement that REALLY, TRULY EXPLODED during the Mid-Late 90s. Which is also the style band and music I start out in.
Stole the car from the Potters' house (in Manhattan Beach) on a regular basis. Rolled a VW in Valley Park and then runs to his girlfriends house and hides inside. The girls' parents have to lie when the police show up and say "He's been here all night".
He does seem like the most annoying and obnoxious dude in punk rock… I guess when your a one trick pony guitar player it might make you lash out at others. 😮
I love fletcher but that shit gets old after a while, you're not 18 anymore big man, nothing cool in being in your fifties and trying to impress teenagers by doing stupid shit like that, I guess i'm not punk anymore.

i have no idea what i'm doing, bro. But i'll keep it up.
@@PunkTomeit's true, your doing great! Your DP Disaster vid was great as well.
Best one yet was the AxCx video, forgot those disgusting bastards existed lol - rest in piss Putnam

He did what? He killed somebody? @@MaxEPR
You can’t go wrong with a nice punk rocker. We’ve got the biggest of hearts in the entire world
Nothing but a high school jock from the 80's...
He was for sure a varsity athlete punk 😂

I've never really been much of a Pennywise fan, but this was awesome. This guy is an absolute unit.
Fletchers the man

They said they’d be back for a free show as an apology and never came back for it. Guy ruined the show by himself. Love Pennywise but Fletcher is an embarrassment. Hopefully he is better now.
Sounds about right. A show was cancelled and I was never reimbursed for my tix.
Fletchers a good dude. He does get a little rambunctious when you add booze and you’re never sure if you’re going to jail but it’s memorable for sure. All n all he’s a nice guy.
I adore Fletchy so much. This is a fun video 😆

I broke a guys leg once for telling me my hair was messed up.
Pennywise got the highschool football team lifted truck types into punk rock
Grew up around those exact types. You are correct here.
lol!!!!! this video is so funny.....,you have made me smile for a while....thanks
Add Booze, a galloping drum beat, some barr chords and possibly stimulants together and i find that it's understandable. i can relate to some degree.
Damn that was entertaining. Must have been sober every time I saw pennywise lol
Since when is Don Henley in TSOL?
I wonder who he killed when he stage dove

Another good video, thanks!
That child is heavily in need of attention. Awwww, bless! 🙂
The guitar tech at 4:07 😂"Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"
The Pennywise family wrecked house at the Flogging Molly Cruise last year. They got banned. I thought they were fun

To be fair, seen pennywise nunerous times and dont remember a damn thing 😂 Fletcher is not alone!
Not sure if wildest but definitely widest.

I'm right there with you. I simmered down, but I couldn't keep going on like I did, or I would have.
The real punk scene died in the mid 80s and then after that all these other bands came along and were just keeping the nostalgia going
Yes 💯🙌🎉🎉🎉
Real punk died in 1977.
Lmao 'im old'

Good video caralho!
Doesn't mention his drunk driving which he has done and destroyed cars and property and scared the fuck out of many passengers
Stole the car from the Potters' house (in Manhattan Beach) on a regular basis. Rolled a VW in Valley Park and then runs to his girlfriends house and hides inside. The girls' parents have to lie when the police show up and say "He's been here all night".
I love Fletcher 😂😂
i think he's got anger problems and an alcohol issue, and is too "tough guy" to do anything to resolve them...

Breaking instruments will always be lame af and a cheap trick
It will always be awesome
The guy would break me in half since he is double my weight. Which is not too cool. And his band...not too punk, more a pop band
Ok boomer
He's a jock, not a punk.
He's punk as fuck.
Wtf?
Correct... dicks like him used to beat up real punks at high school in the 80's!!
Not really he never gave a shit about sports he may look like it but he is not
There's certainly nothing punk about attacking people.
Jock Rock
He does seem like the most annoying and obnoxious dude in punk rock… I guess when your a one trick pony guitar player it might make you lash out at others. 😮
I love fletcher but that shit gets old after a while, you're not 18 anymore big man, nothing cool in being in your fifties and trying to impress teenagers by doing stupid shit like that, I guess i'm not punk anymore.
It's awesome tbh
Another boring, violent relic. Joking doesn't excuse it. Be aggressive against the bad.
Nope
Sorry but Iggy Pop & Jello Biafra fans WILL disagree with you...
No he is not, GG ALLIN IS
GG is also 6 feet under the earth, which means he’s “not alive.” Notorious pedo and r@pist too, but I’m sure you find that cool 🚨
I don’t think anybody wants to challenge him for the spot 🫤 know what I mean
