Steven Blush makes some alarming claims in his book American Hardcore: A Tribal History, but chief among the most heinous is that Vinnie Stigma, guitarist for Agnostic Front, doesn't plug his guitar into anything (not even an amp) when playing live.
And as for the veracity of "is Stigma live, or is his guitar suffering from acid reflux?" debate -- prove it.
Stigma's enough of a heavyweight that he could just think about playing the riff to "Last Warning" and the atoms around him would realign themselves to make the music.

 Agnostic Front with TSOL on "The Unity Tour" - PopMatters Concert Review
Agnostic Front, started in the early 1980s by guitarist Vinnie Stigma and vocalist Roger Miret, are from the rough urban streets of NYC, tell their stories in two minute diatribes and bear their piss and vinegar on their flesh in tattooed glory.
Vinnie's still the goofiest tough guy in the world and Roger's famous intensity seemed stronger than evee, more than a few years out of the joint.
I first saw the rebirth of Agnostic Front as a force, conveniently enough in Phoenix, AZ a few years back, where they rose like a fireball out of the ashes and reclaimed their territory after years of a revolving door of band members, Roger's stint in jail and personal tragedies.

Among the bands at the forefront of this united, seemingly unstoppable army were Agnostic Front, whose frantic, minimalist assault and sociopolitical rants came to epitomize the essence of hardcore, New York f*ckin' City style.
Guitarist Vinnie Stigma was a first-generation punk rocker and an early-'80s skinhead who finally got around to forming his own band, Zoo Crew, in mid-1982, with vocalist John Watson.
But Agnostic Front were always on the verge of collapse due to Miret and Stigma's mercurial relationship and, like most of their hardcore brethren, were already tampering with their sound.

Specifically, it began with wearing what one would wear to a concert where there would be a mosh pit.
The term "mosh" has often been credited to Vinnie Stigma of the hardcore group Agnostic Front as an acronym for "March Of Skin Heads", but most authorities cite Darryl Jennifer, bass guitarist for Bad Brains as the term's originator, from his Jamaican-accented pronunciation of the word "mash", in "Mash down Babylon."
Mosh pits (or Circle pits) appeared in 1981, if not earlier, at a number of punk rock concerts.

He was getting to a point where he couldn't take care of his daughter on the road so that's basically what happened.

 Madball Singer Freddy Cricien
In fact, it would be Vinnie Stigma of Agnostic Front who would give him his nickname, ‘Madball’, after harassing the young Cricien to the point at which his face resembled such an object, in the back of the tour van.
When Madball was put together, it included Vinnie on guitar, with brother Roger on bass and Will Shepler on drums.
It prefaced a switch to Roadrunner and a long-playing set which, predictably, accented machismo and power over subtlety, but was an energizing collection for all that.

Fondato da Roger Miret (voce) e Vinnie Stigma (chitarra), il gruppo ha influenzato un'intera generazione con il suo New York Style.
Attualmente alla batteria troviamo non più Jim Colletti, bensì Steve Gallo, mentre alla seconda chitarra torna Matt Henderson (anche nei Madball assieme a Vinnie Stigma).
Il loro passato non è stato dei più felici: dopo essere stati accusati di inclinazioni naziste a metà degli anni '80, si prenderanno una pausa all'inizio degli anni '90, quando Miret sarà costretto ad andare in carcere.

The song easily throws off the Roadrunner-era throes of commercialization.    "Urban Decadence" is the kind of sweaty mosh pit rousing anthem that just begs for a live audience and a live album.  The core of Agnostic Front, vocalist Roger Miret and guitarist Vinnie Stigma, ensure that the album retains its old school feel throughout.
Miret even sounds 10 years younger, and Stigma's solos are still thankfully rare and chaotic.  As ever, Agnostic Front's lyrics range from personal vendettas, political tirades, and chest-pounding self-proclamation.
They're all delivered with Miret's trademark scowling throat.  Another area that emphasizes the 'Front's return to glory are the breakdowns.  Rather than the crisp, crunchy metallic groove of Sick Of It All, Agnostic Front's slower moments are rawer heartfelt expressions of anger or pride.
