The name “Black Flag” isn’t exactly sacrosanct anymore. The pioneering hardcore band never had a stable lineup, but they still made a tremendous underground impact in the ’80s, and you still see their bars tattooed on lots and lots of people. Guitarist Greg Ginn was the band’s driving force and only permanent member. That’s also the case with the new-fangled versions of Black Flag that have been going around lately, but Ginn doesn’t enjoy the goodwill that he once commanded.
