Jeff begins attending concerts. Doors, Hendrix, Humble Pie, Jefferson Airplane, and perhaps the most influential of this early batch, Blue Cheer. Played all the instruments himself because all the other musicians he knew were serious jazz geeks who felt his simple tunes were beneath them. Jeff leaves the army and heads to Los Angeles. Germs vocalist Darby Crash declares them to be the worst band he'd ever seen.
Crash later commits suicide.
Just a coincidence. Joins up as lead vocalist for the Angry Samoans, the scourge of Los Angeles. So completely banned in L.A., they must drive to San Francisco just to play shows. Jeff leaves the Samoans due to the intense hatred all the members feel for each other. Forms Powertrip, the idea being to blend The Stooges and Motorhead.
