I still listen to Champion 20yrs later. I saw them live at a basement show in Santa Cruz ‘02. Their black/silver pirate ship T-shirt was my favorite band shirt. I have a picture with Synyster Gates of A7X wearing that Champion tee at SF Warp Tour ‘03. Great memories!
@Luke Witt Are you fucking serious Luke!? Please tell me that after you have a daughter. Also or know of someone that is 14 years old and having a relationship with a 26+ year old adult.
listening to a champion song everyday makes you wholesome. i freakin fuckin recommend decisions made. I am at lost of words trying to explain how powerful their mantras are. truly my fav
I listened to them so much as I was young and I thought that their words had some meaning...the singer has demonstrated that being a Straight Edge does not make you a better person than many others...Jesus, I even know people with addictions who would never ever rape children....what a waste of time ans energy...
Was at this show, flew in from LA to Seattle with my friends, got my tooth knocked out by Jim’s microphone, fucking pedo took my tooth 😅 Super Crush from Seattle played a show recently in LA, ran into some friends and heard JIM sometimes Trolls instagram and actually reply’s. Ive always been curious how he’s stayed hidden for so long, dude really is lost in the woods 😂
Should have played Curious Youth, Huggage, Judged, and Second Chances. What’s a last show if you don’t play the entire discography? Honestly, the second incarnation of Champion should have kept Curious Youth around and reworked it. It was a good song.
Yes. Know numerous people who grew up with him, he kept it well under wraps for too long, the second people started coming forward he vanished from vancouver and hasn't been seen since.
@@slipknotlover21 Has he surfaced again. There was a post in FB I think were a girl he dated, she recognized him amd took a photo and he called himself James
@@thelostmotel209 sorry for the late response- but at the time, i had a female friend (as to mention we were all 16 at the time) i believe the singer was a few years older but apparently they we’re hanging out on the night of the rivalry showcase fest and she at school the next day said how the singer bought her booze with a fake ID and hooked up with her in the champion van and i some how after the show, went on “yahoo punk/hardcore/ska” chat group and met a girl who coincidentally was the singers gf at the time and i def spilt the beans to her and apparently everything went down hill for him after that.
Mr. Reich A big shit show. In 2016, a few women said that Hesketh engaged in creepy behavior or had sex with them while they were 14-16. The problem is none of the victims/accusers wanted to pursue charges against Hesketh. Washington State has a ten year statue of limitations on sex crimes and some of the accusations would’ve also qualified for a federal investigation by the FBI. There are police in Washington that are former hardcore kids and the FBI & CIA have a ton of them too (Clean Lifestyles help you get hired into the feds, so there are a ton of Mormons and former straight edge kids lol) However, since none of the victims wanted to file a complaint, an actual investigation was never done. Between you and me, Hesketh is pretty dumb. He ain’t the sharpest knife in the drawer nor the brightest bulb. If an investigation was done and he did do the crimes and accusations laid against him: evidence would’ve been found and he would’ve went to jail. Dumb guys don’t cover their tracks. Old text messages from cellphones, data from his computer’s hard drives, social media, emails that contained his old AIM chatroom messages. There would have been plenty to nab him on. However, he got canceled, his new band broke up and he’s off the Internet (at least not using his birth name) but that’s about it. He could’ve legally changed his name and moved somewhere, still doing the same shit. We’ll never know what really went down, if he’s innocent or guilty . It’s why more people in the scene need to press charges against the sex offenders in bands. I mean we have our people, former hardcore scene folks, in the FBI. An impartial, fact based investigation would lock up the scumbags and clear the names of the possibly innocent.
to me,simply best live-drumming of a hc band ever!
Dr Schulz and lyrics
Candiria, but very close
You need to hear Magnitude (ncXhc)
Negative! Great drumming but I've been with this since 88/89 and this is not the best ever.

He certainly liked the youth
Still my fav hardcore band.. still cant beleive what happend..
Me too, i started to hear champion ealry this month and it so hard to process the real truth, the songs are good, cant deny that.

Man that last song is so emotional.
watching this gave me goose bumps. so fucking awesome!
I was at this show, it was fucking great.
Champion was one of my favorite Hardcore bands. greetz from germany
The singer is a huge piece of shit. I can't even take him and his "positive" lyrics serious.

Should have played Curious Youth, Huggage, Judged, and Second Chances.
What’s a last show if you don’t play the entire discography? Honestly, the second incarnation of Champion should have kept Curious Youth around and reworked it. It was a good song.
The first show was at auburns best annex.

Does anyone know what his brother Danny is doing after Sinking Ships was done?
Nothing musically.
hardcore pride!!!!!
this my favorite hardcore band, unfortunately they stopped when many like them: (
adam azhari don’t judge the whole band, their crushing riffs, and music as entirety due to his actions. Their music is more than that
hello sunshine what happened

RIP Champion
No one as an adult legitimately cares if you drink or don't . Too much emphasis was put on a false narrative
geil!!!!!!!!!!!
It sux the dude turned out to be a creep cuz I could go for a champion reunion
I've loved this band for years. Is Jim really a pedo?
Yes. Know numerous people who grew up with him, he kept it well under wraps for too long, the second people started coming forward he vanished from vancouver and hasn't been seen since.
