Anarchic L.A. punk group and vehicle for doomed singer Darby Crash. Living fast and dying young is one of rock's great clich쎩s, but no phrase better describes the reasons for the demise of L.A. punkers known as Germs. Capable of creating a firestorm of noisy, confrontational music, they were ultimately undone by their perversely charismatic lead singer. He was a madman named Paul Beahm, better known to the world at-large first as Bobby Pyn, later and more famously as Darby Crash. Taking musical cues from the Sex Pistols (and English punk in general), as well as the CBGB's scene, and adding the theatricality of Bowie, Iggy, and Lou Reed, Crash was the perfect frontman for Germs. Backed by guitarist Pat Smear (later of Nirvana and the Foo Fighters), bassist Lorna Doom, the Germs kicked up a hellacious racket that strayed from fast/loud punk into art damage and garage grunge
