[edit] Prose deletion
Hey anonymous, why did you delete that fine prose that you added? :-) Was it copyrighted, perhaps?
- No. It was my own prose. But I guess I have a hang-up about people changing my words. Still I reposted it for your reading pleasure.
[edit] Don Bolles
When did Don Bolles join the band?
- Don joined the Germs in 1977 and stayed until 1980. He then went to 45 Grave, The Consumers and, Vox Pop.
I don't think Don Bolles joined the Germs in 1977. He joined after Nicky Beat, who drummed on the 1978 7 inch "Lexicon Devil," departed as the Germ's temporary drummer.
The Germ's order of drummers went something along the lines of Belinda Carlisle (Dottie Danger), Belinda's friend Becky aka Donna Rhia (who drummed on the bootleg Germicide LP), Cliff Hanger (a local record store worker), Don Bonebrake (later of X), Nicky Beat (who drummed on the Lexicon Devil 7inch tracks), then Jimmy Giorsetti aka Don Bolles, then Rob Henley (who replaced the 'fired' Don Bolles). Don Bolles came back for the Reuinon Show in Dec of 1980.

[edit] Drummers
why was there so many drummers???
- Because most were temporary, lasting only the length of a set. Rsm99833 14:08, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] the cirkel
Hello, does anyone know why the germs chose that cirkel as a 'logo'? And what is the meaning of it?
- I remember hearing something about how a fan carved a circle on his or her arm and poured blue ink in it. I'm not sure if that's true or not, though. --Jazz Remington 21:10, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- The Circle represents a cyclical concept of time. You know.. the whole birth-death-rebirth rotation that's so obvious in nature. It's just a common idea (especially in Eastern Religion) that Darby Crash happened to be intrigued with, so he adopted it for his own purposes.
The Germ's had a pretty fanatic following, even before Darby Crash stuck himself to death with heroin. Many Germs devotees gave themselves circle tattoos and even more commonly 'germs burns' - a cigarette burn usually on the underside of the wrist which is supposed to be given by someone else who already has the mark. Germs burns were intended to spread in such a manner from a single source (Darby). --DMPineau 11:32, 14 July 2005
