guy: well, last year we were on tour for 6-7 months or something, and when we got back at the end of november, we decided to take some time off and work on some new songs and kind of take a break from touring so much.
guy: we had about a year - i guess it was 1994 - where the band ceased to function, and we had a whole lot of time for everyone in the band to kind of think about the group and what we wanted to do.

 Guy-Fugazi
The bind we were in was that there really wasn't enough material to merit a double album yet it was still too long to fit on 12 inches of vinyl (you can't get away with much more than 45 minutes without the quality of the sound decreasing pretty majorly).
Guy - We actually won't be touring much probably till next year sometime Because our bassist Joe and his wife just had their first kid last week and he'll be needing time to deal with the impact of that.
Guy - This is kind of a weird question because we've written so many songs and we don't really have a concise laundry list of issues we're concerned about.

 Fugazi - Satan Stole My Teddybear
Guitarists Guy Picciotto and Ian MacKaye show a lot of sense of varied texture and throughout the album create either intentionally dissonant expression or sonically pleasing tones.
Neither Guy or Ian are as in-your-face with their vocals anymore (except in rare moments like "Five Corporations"); instead the newer approach allows their singing to develop well with the musical backdrop.
Guy Picciotto and Ian MacKaye each have a vocal while the middle song is a instrumental.

 One Last Wish - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Amidst the breakup of Rites of Spring in 1986, three of its four members - Picciotto, Janney and Canty - went on to form a new band after picking up Michael Hampton, former guitarist of Faith and Embrace.
Their sole recording was done in November of 1986 at Inner Ear Studios in Arlington, VA. It was engineered by Don Zientara and produced by Ian MacKaye, who Canty and Picciotto would later join in the band Fugazi.
After the band's breakup, Picciotto, Janney and Canty would reunite with Michael Fellows of Rites of Spring, taking on the new name Happy Go Licky.

Guy - I don't really compare eras - everything is so contextual that to try and compare the way I felt going to shows at age15 to going to shows now at age 39 seems a bit pointless.
Guy - I don't have any memory of it ever being hard because back then there were no ambitions, no careerist implications to anything - playing music was just an extension of hanging out and it all just came together pretty naturally.
Guy - I think it would have to be George W. Bush and I alone for an intimate dinner of pretzels and ultra fine fish bones.

 Dementlieu Punk Archive: Washington, DC: Insurrection interview
It was just Mike and Guy doing this crazy shit, doing some chaos and I had never seen them before and I just saw them on stage and said, "Fuck man, chaos kids" and then I got to know them.
Guy: We were real impressed with Brendan's sound in Deadline...We thought he kept a pretty mean beat.
Back in the days when we were pretty much just the chaos guys, we were pretty much interested in just being cool and stuff and we figured he wanted to be in a band with us and we said it was alright.

Picciotto attributes the band's recent scarcity of touring to simple responsibilities of adulthood: both Lally and drummer Brendan Canty have young children.
Once everyone's schedules are cleared, Picciotto expects Fugazi to tour North America in a series of two- or three-week spurts beginning in February 2002.
And with that in mind, Picciotto sees no evidence that Fugazi's demise is on the horizon.

Guy: DC bands from Bad Brains to Orthrelm....others like: Television, the Zombies, the Small Faces, Beat Happening, Bikini Kill, Gang of Four, the Shadow Ring, movies by J. Cassavetes and R. Bresson.
Guy: None really but i guess i don't have an objective idea of what our "signature" sound is so it would be hard to tell who's recycling it or being inspired by it.

 GUY FROM FUGAZI
Guy Picciotto is one of the central songwriters/guitarists/singers in what might be the most consistently great rock group in the world.
Guy also spent three years with Rites of Spring (NYSE: ROS), where he was credited with the invention of the now-ubiquitous “emo” subgenre.
Guy agreed to a telephone interview because he’s a supernice guy who doesn’t let the fact that his band IS THE BEST FUCKIN BAND IN THE WORLD(!!!!!!) go to his head.

 Brendan Canty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brendan Canty (born March 9, 1966 in Teaneck, New Jersey) is a musician, and is best known as the drummer in the band Fugazi.
Canty joined Fugazi in 1987, before which time he played with fellow Fugazi band member Guy Picciotto in Rites of Spring, One Last Wish, Deadline, Insurrection, and Happy Go Licky.
Since he is not as much of a vocal member of Fugazi as Picciotto or MacKaye, many fans are unaware of Canty's large musical contributions to the band over the years.

 Fugazi - Biography - AOL Music
Drummer Brendan Canty, bassist Joe Lally, and guitarists/vocalists Ian MacKaye, and Guy Picciotto formed Fugazi in 1987.
For better or worse, Embrace, along with Picciotto and Canty's better Rites of Spring, kick-started the emocore sub-genre that would rise to prominence ten years later.
Though suffering slightly from lyrical shortcomings (MacKaye and Picciotto grandstand too much), 1990's full-length debut Repeater is generally regarded as a classic.

 Peterbilt Records interview
Guy: The tradition of weird packaging came about because when we were doing the first HGL 12" we were wracking our brain to think of a way to make a super cheap sleeve that didn't look like everything else.
Guy: So far everyone of the records has at least broken even, except for the Octis CD but its only been out for 5 months.
Guy: i guess - in the sense that i think there is something political about doing things for the fuck of it without profit or power motivations.

Guy Picciotto is Mario Rossetti in 15 years.
While Picciotto abandoned his guitar for an all-out vocal assault on the duct tape-bound microphone during ridiculously-intense numbers like "Waiting Room" and "Break-In," the pit area became a frenzy of flying elbows and crowd surfers.
Guy was the first victim of the never-appropriate lager toss.

The Rites of Spring formed in April of 1984 and disbanded in December of 1986 after releasing an LP entitled "Rites of Spring", and an EP entitled "All through a life" - both on Dischord.
Guy Picciotto (pronounced "gi" - it's French) did the singing and shared the guitar with Eddie Janney.

This is an interview I did via mail with Fugazi's Guy Picciotto in Jan 1998.
When Minor Threat formed (his second band), I went to high school with his bassist and guitarist so I went to a practise of theirs after school and that was the first time we were properly introduced.
Brendan was also a figure on the scene and I was a huge fan of his first band Deadline I would hang with those guys constantly and he and I hit it off immediately, making music together almost from the start.

Ralph Nadar clearly demonstrated that his campaign was not about the issues that he "believed," but instead it was all about his own ego and the fact that he, with less that 5% of the public vote, was the spoiler of the 2000 election.
Guy's political comments make me sick, but their music isn't about the political issues of the day...
First off, I can't tell if this guy is kidding or not with his admiration for the Bush administration; supporters of Bush are kind of like myths I hear about sometimes but very rarely ever hear words from.

And, as one of the chief architects of Fugazi, Guy Picciotto is no slouch when it comes to current affairs, as you will read later.
Guy Picciotto: Well, I think rumors about us breaking up have gone around for probably the last nine years, so we always hear about it.
I've been in a bunch of bands before this one -- and so have the other guys in the group -- but it's like one of those weird puzzles you get as a kid.

 Guy Picciotto - Free Music Downloads, Videos, CDs, MP3s, Bio, Merchandise and Links
Born in D.C. on September 17, 1965, it was a local Cramps show in 1979 that inspired Picciotto to get involved in the punk scene (strangely enough, MacKaye was at the same show and also lists it as a life-changing event), while further Clash and Bad Brains gigs convinced him to form his own band.
Formed during the spring of 1984, the Rites of Spring was an incredibly short lived group, who only managed to issue a full length (1985's Rites of Spring) and a seven inch single (1986's four-track All Through a Life), but proved to be incredibly influential, especially years later with emocore bands.
Few rock groups can claim to be as uncompromising as Fugazi has been since their inception, as they became renowned for their penchant for keeping record and ticket prices to their shows affordable, and continually turning down offers to jump to a major label.

High-volume catharsis comes as easily to them as it ever has; Guy Picciotto opening "Full Disclosure" by screaming "I want out I want out I want out" until he can’t scream any more is pretty astonishing.
The reserved throb of, say, "Nightshop" (Picciotto’s moan squeezing out from behind a filter; acoustic guitars and handclaps occupying the climactic space electric brutality would once have taken up) delivers its ferocious words more effectively than a direct attack would.
This also means that The Argument doesn’t sound especially Fugazi-ish — until you focus on the latitude the players give one another, the taut snap of each note, the instrumental ease that comes from well over a decade of working out musical problems in the same room.

 Rites of Spring
Guy can barely hit any notes at this point, but there's so much unbridled, passionate energy in his voice that it hardly matters.
hen famed psychologist Dr. Guy Picadilly (pronounced "Guy") invented a state of being called "emotional," he was as surprised as we were to watch it heat up into a bright flame of punk rock conformity.
Guy's still tone deaf, but the lyrics he's coming up with are improving, and he's still shrieking like his heart's getting ripped out while he's on the mic.

The imagery of the scene offers a twisted dichotomy of images: the set and interviewer are flowery, early-‘90s pretty, demure to the point of cliché; meanwhile the on-set couch is occupied by two veteran punk rockers, disheveled and dressed in fl, presenting the young, female interviewer with ideas she seems to struggle to understand.
This band has made some great albums (some of Instrument’s scenes have band members equally obsessing and going crazy in the studio), but the quartet’s reputation as a quality live band is what has drawn in many fans, and continues to speak for their power and talent.
Ian’s threats to stop shows are, obviously, to be taken seriously, as evidenced by a scenario in which he and Guy pull a drunken gutter punk out of the crowd and forced him to apologize for spitting on band members.

Recruiting bassist Joe Lally and drummer Brendan Canty for their rhythm section the band began to play their first live shows in 1988 and the style they were playing surprised everyone when the primal screams and chaos of Minor Threat and Rites of Spring was replaced with more melodic and structured songs.
The chorus is a kind of controlled chaos with the cymbals crashing loudly over the fuzzed out guitar but when listened to closely it's clear that the band's intention was for it to sound like they were losing it when in fact they were in control the whole time.
"Bulldog Front" is next and features Guy Picciotto on vocals which is something that Fugazi would help innovate as Ian and Guy would switch lead duties creating an excellent dynamic because their voices are so different.

 loud paper : articles
Ian MacKaye's barking vocals, Guy Picciotto's tortured moan and socio-political philosophizing make Fugazi one of the mainstays in the Indie-Punk scene.
MacKaye and Picciotto sing about social issues ranging from urban gentrification on "Cashout," to the popularity of commercialized violence on "Life and Limb." Much like a good pop song, the lyrical structure is of such a poetic complexity that it invites the listener to become absorbed in the words, but it comes without the sugarcoating.
This album may alienate some fans that associate punk simply with a certain sound as opposed to a mentality, but this is the beauty of The Argument--.
