He has been in a number of bands, but I&#8217;m guessing most people who have any idea who he is remember him as the pre-Rollins singer of Black Flag. He also played guitar on &#8220;Damaged&#8221;, which was Rollins&#8217; debut and Black Flag&#8217;s first record to get a lot of attention.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not sure how I got into D.C. 3, but I really liked this record when it came out in 1986. It&#8217;s pretty heavy rock and though there is a lot of guitar noodling it doesn&#8217;t sound too much like jam music. Some might even describe it as &#8220;classic rock&#8221;, but there is definitely something more happening here. I was surprised to read that Cadena was only 25 when they made this record.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a note from Dez on the back cover that ends:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>To those who ask what the difference is between the music I play now and what I used to play, I would say that there is no difference. &#8212; D.C.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>My favorite song is a high speed, almost metal track that kicks off side two called &#8220;No One But Yourself To Blame.&#8221; Even the lyrics are cool.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>You can never&#8230; never&#8230; blame anyone but yourself.<br \/>\nYou can&#8230; but you&#8217;re playin&#8217;&#8230; a loooooosing game.<br \/>\nYou&#8217;ve got no one but yourself to blame.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Or something close to that. Hard rockin&#8217; words to live by if you ask me.<\/p>\n<p>P.S. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pelczarski.com\/gonutty\/index.htm\">Keith<\/a>, say what you will about downloaded digital music, but you can&#8217;t flip it over, there is no side two, and you can&#8217;t even take a picture of it. So what&#8217;s the point? Rock and roll is not about convenience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Artist: D.C. 3 Title: The Good Hex Year: 1986 Format: Vinyl 12 in.
