Destroy All Monsters - Live
Review by Nathan Kendrick
Destroy All Monsters' live album is a wild and raucous ride through their unique brand of punk rock. The band's energy is palpable, and the rawness of the live setting only adds to the intensity of the performance. The album features a mix of original songs and covers, all played with a ferocity that leaves no doubt as to why this band is a legend of the Detroit punk scene. The vocals are a standout, with lead singer Niagara delivering each line with a snarl and a sneer. The guitar work is equally impressive, with Ron Asheton's riffs and solos adding a gritty edge to the songs. The rhythm section of Michael Davis and Rob King keeps the pace frenetic and the energy high throughout the album. While the sound quality of the recording may not be perfect, it only adds to the raw, live feel of the album. Live by Destroy All Monsters is a must-listen for fans of punk rock and anyone looking for a high-energy, no-holds-barred live performance.

I should have been at this show but my girlfriend probably wanted to eat at the Pan Tree instead

ロンアシュトン❤凄いプレイヤーですよ。大好きなギタリスト兼ベーシスト❤ですよ⚡️headonのベースソロで飯5杯いけますよ?
Saw them several times @ Bookies. Powerful band, but never dug the vocals…
Think I have a vinyl single these guys were badass!
amphetamine
Seen them play at the Red Carpet lounge in Detroit and EMU Auditorium!
The girl wasn't worthy of Ron! SORRY!!! Ron was an ignored God!!!!
Saw them in Chi-town early 80s. Niagra seemed to wander around while Ron played, she'd sing a little bit then drink some beer now and then and go back to the mic. Strange but very entertaining show.
Sounds a little like "City Slang" from SRB. Good Stuff.
I feel certain that Kim Gordon of SonicYouth took some inspiration from Niagara
One thing is for sure, Ron Ashton could jam his ass off on guitar!
That was some real fine Ron Asheton guitar. He really lit that up. Mike sounds on too.
Que bueno!!!! Gracias!!!
Drummer don't break a sweat
Is Michael Davis from MC5 on bass?
Saw them live many years ago in the Detroit area. Awesome band.
How come she was never properly recorded for a studio album even when she was with Ashton ? Most likely because she was a great looker with an unconvincing voice ? Above that a somewhat dilettante performer who mostly had to have it from her hungry looks .....funny for half an hour or so , but after that people begin to demand more substance ?
Interesting though , to finally see what this lot was about .
