Two (Yes, Two!) Black Flag Reunions Detailed
Black Flag fans are going to be stoked on this. Regardless of whether you preferred founding member Keith Morris or his replacement Ron Reyes, you’re in luck – both frontmen have announced they will be forming and reforming their own versions of Black Flag, and both have announced tour dates.
Morris, who originally left the group to front The Circle Jerks and currently tours the world with punk rock supergroup OFF!, will be fronting the modernised version of Black Flag, to be known as Flag. Along with Morris, Flag will also consist of Chuck Dukowski and Bill Stevenson, along with Stephen Egerton of the Descendants.
Flag have announced a series of shows throughout Europe, including Monster Bash in Germany and a run of US shows. Though Black Flag never toured Australia, Morris has found a new love for our land having toured here with OFF!, so a tour Down Under is in no way off the cards at this point.
It has been pointed out that Flag was formed in direct response to the overwhelming approval of the crowd who witnessed an impromptu gig in 2011. As if that wasn’t enough, Ron Reyes will be reuniting with founding member Greg Ginn on guitar. They will also be touring and are already confirmed for UK’s Hevy Fest.
No word yet on whether Rollins will be getting in on this. Over the decades, the band has had a high turnover rate, with enough ex-members to form at least one more Black Flag reunion act…though a third reformation seems unlikely at this stage.

In the 90s I saw the Descendents and they did an encore of all Black Flag covers (and switched instruments a few times) which was great.
I'd check this out.

So I'm guessing it won't be happening.

What a fantastic mini-doc.
As someone who grew up with Black Flag and still has a collection of some of the Pettibon flyers, this really brought back some great memories.
Once again, Inri222 bringing the goods. Thanks for posting!

Rollins is featured (and now a regular contributor) in this week's L.A. Weekly and talks about why he chose not to do any Black Reunion shows. Damn good article.

Black Flag's Greg Ginn Elaborates on Lawsuit Against Former Bandmates, Keith Morris Responds
Last week, it was reported that Black Flag's Greg Ginn was suing the members of FLAG (Keith Morris, Chuck Dukowski, Dez Cadena, Bill Stevenson, Stephen Egerton) and Henry Rollins. Now, Ginn has clarified the lawsuit in an official statement (via Exclaim).
He explains that he's not trying to stop FLAG from touring and playing old Black Flag songs. Instead, he's focusing on them selling "bootleg items" and Morris and Rollins' attempt to file for the Black Flag trademark, which was already owned by Ginn and SST Records. He writes:
The dispute over Black Flag is not motivated by an effort to stop anyone from covering Black Flag songs. Quite to the contrary. This dispute began when Henry Garfield (Rollins) and Keith Morris made an effort to hijack the name — and the logo — for their own use. Behind everyone's back, in September 2012, Garfield and Morris filed fraudulent trademark applications in which they are claiming to own the name and the logo. Had we not taken action, this pair could have snuck these false applications through the Trademark Office, enabling them to stop Black Flag from playing and gaining exclusive use of the name and logo for themselves. We are also trying to stop Morris and the others in his band from using the name and the logo in a misleading way, and from selling bootleg items.
Ginn's lawyer Evan Cohen elaborated further to MTV Hive:
"They forced us to do this, because not only do we need to bring an opposition to the trademark application in the trademark office, but we also need to bring what's called a cancellation action for cancellation of the existing mark — for the four bars. Then we also found out that they're also selling bootleg T-shirts on the tour and then they started — about halfway through the tour — they started using the actual bars, not the even bars, but the uneven bars. It's like they ratcheted up their usage of the Black Flag materials and it came to a point where we couldn't not sue them."
The Phoenix New Times talked to FLAG (and OFF!) frontman Keith Morris about the lawsuit. He said he'd just been served the papers, which he described as being the size of "two and a half movie scripts". He said:
We've done nothing wrong. Every step of the way, we've all talked to each other--"we're going to do this," or "we're not going to do that"-- we know what he is capable of doing and we're not scared, we're not shaking in our shoes, we're not going to be bullied. We'll just proceed forward. We live our lives, and whatever the outcome is, we're good guys, we've done nothing wrong, so we don't really have to worry about anything.
