Skrewdrivers first album is pretty good OI punk without the racist stuff. Still a sketch shirt choice.

One of the two songs in the "Two Song Video" was screwdriver.

my neighbor listens to these guys in his garage full of nascar and other assorted bs, it bumms me out, rasicism is regular.

Religion. He's not a 'God is love', more 'you are scum, God will torture you in hell if you don't praise him everyday' kinda guy.

Poor fella, probably just got a bit brainwashed at a funny church

Alan · « **Reply #10 on:** February 24, 2011, 09:46:37 AM »

I knew he was mega religious, but never got that self-righteous vibe off him. That sucks if he's like that.

In defense of Grosso, Skrewdriver started out as a non-racist oi band recorded a ep and then lp both of which are good punk oi stuff, then the band broke up and the singer took the name and restarted the band as a right wing racist hate group. The t shirt that Grosso is wearing is the original band and not the later racist one. Granted as much as I love the 1st album (the song from Anti Hero two song is from the 1st lp) I wouldn't wear the t shirt just because of the baggage with the later band, but I also wouldn't call some one a racist for wearing it either.

Pretty sure that shirt is from their non racist era. It was the singer who became a racist and kept using the Skrewdriver name later on without the others in the band.

edit: Just noticed the above post. Oh well.

Maybe that is why he quit the Label, because it is owned by a Mexican....wait maybe he doesn't know about Tommy G yet....

seamoose · « **Reply #18 on:** February 24, 2011, 11:20:50 AM »

Jeff Grosso is not racist. That print on his shirt is from their first record (all skrewed up) which is not a racist record at all, infact it's a fucking amazing punk record. Sure after that Skrewdriver turned into some gnarly racist and horrible band but I'll stand by Grosso that first record is too good to ignore. "The record contains none of the neo-Nazi/white power-themed lyrics for which the band later became known. Donaldson was the only member of the record's line-up to play on future Skrewdriver releases." - quoted from online

what is this site turning into tmz now? who gives a shit? like everyone said there was a non skinhead skrewdriver at some point and even if there wasnt - what difference does it make to you? its not like hes out being overtly rascist towards anyone. he rides for antihero not plan b, grow up.

its a t-shirt.
and seriously stop doing crailslides

MustardTigerPhilCollins · « **Reply #22 on:** February 24, 2011, 11:47:43 AM »

Their first racist album Boots and Bracers is really good too if you can get over the skinhead shit. Anyone ever heard of Jewdriver? They're inactive now, but they used to cover Skrewdriver songs but change all of the lyrics to be about bagels and stuff.

TomTom · « **Reply #23 on:** February 24, 2011, 11:49:05 AM »

Grosso is not racist
Lance is not rightwing

Period

be careful when throwing around names and terms
*edit
or when jumping to conclusions

Hercules Rockefeller · « **Reply #24 on:** February 24, 2011, 11:58:06 AM »

so if i get it right (get it "right", just like grosso? get it?), the general consensus is that he is wearing a t-shirt and that the old skrewdriver album was good. great thread.

also, i could see lance mountain being overly religious, with that monobrow and all.

icybear187 · « **Reply #25 on:** February 24, 2011, 12:03:44 PM »

Antihero has used Skrewdriver in there videos. Emo kids of today are way to quick to jump the gun before knowing about the subject they are ranting about.

Read up before you start posting bs about people you don't even know.

Saw them once. They threw bagels at the crowd. It was awesome.

Frank the Rabbit · « **Reply #27 on:** February 24, 2011, 02:12:22 PM »

I know Grosso ain't racist, i was joking. Although I think its funny how some people are all like "Antihero used their songs", like that makes skrewdriver ok.

Well, if you're done with that, I'd like to get to the point.

Proper invents are fucking dope.

Thank you. Screwdriver shirt aside, that was a really good episode. I wish he would have gone into a little more detail on how all those inverts differed (as opposed to just the name). Invert variations are one of those tricks, where I know the name (Phillips 66 for example) but don't really know exactly what it means.

Bobby Peru · « **Reply #29 on:** February 24, 2011, 03:56:08 PM »

I'm aware that Skrewdriver had that first good non-racist album and I didn't say Grosso was racist. But as Shawn said, there's a lot of baggage with wearing that tee and it comes off as pretty disrespectful. I've always loved Grosso and I'm happy to see him getting the recent coverage and switch to Anti-Hero, but I got all excited to watch a video about inverts, saw that tee, and got bummed.
