They look like The Mentors. Where they aware of them? How many bands dressed up like executioners? I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I hate you. What a complete and honest statement backed up with a killer song. This 7″ could’ve been perfect if they just had cut crap out of Racing For The Pink. Two long and absolutely pointless guitar solos that makes me fall a sleep. The song got a strong melody but 4:44???? Come on. Anyone got some info to share?
Country: USA
Year: 1982
Label: Self Released
Format: 7″

I Hate You.mp3

Hey, I was the bullitt bass play and also took the pics on the 45 cover. It was great to play Surf Music in California and if you don’t like it shove a rat tailed file up yours.
Save the humans by amputating limbs before they morph into Morlocks from nuke Armageddon! 24/7 job. No easy work.
In memory of Stan Storm (guitar).RIP.
Jack Ripper
Jack his name was stan fuller.He fell off a cliff and drowned. Did you know Ken Tillish aka gangreen?
Ken Tillisch aka Gang Green died on Monday, September 17, 2012. May he Rest In Peace.
– Harold Mercury
Sad news. R.I.P.
Stan Fuller’s aka for the band was Stan Storm. Glad to inform you. Do you think my real name is Jack Ripper? I guess why not.
I was the bass player from 1979-1982. I took the pics at the Daly City Cemetery. Stan was one of the nicest guys on the planet. Stan was found dead on the rocks at the marina at the Scandinavian Club in Lake County with his head in the water and a beer bottle in his hand. Some say by foul play. RIP. His grandmother would wash, starch, and iron our hoods. Kenny was a great guy. His enthusiasm for the band was intoxicating. RIP. He went on to become the “Mayor of the Tenderloin”. In 1981 I got around to reading the lyrics to the songs and LMAO for months. Kenny was tall and Stan Storm was big and extra tall with his high heeled combat boots and they would always heckle the crowd to rile em up. I would wear mirror sunglasses under my hood and be spooky. I remember we used to play “I’ll eat My Brains Out Over You”. At the break Gang Green would pull out a dyed green cow brain and start biting into it and throwing parts at the crowd. They would take the brains, rip, and throw them back at us. Brain bits were then bouncing up and down off the drums, beer bottles wizzing by from all directions, Gang Green eating the brains, Stan Storm heckling the crowd yielding his steel double edged executioner ax guitar! It was total bedlam! Oh, and the drummers aka was Barry M Deep, LOL. We got a lot of airplay in Germany and Switzerland. At one point a very popular radio station started playing “I Hate You” at midnight and kept it going over and over till 6 AM. It must have taken the commies for a loop! The green 45 is considered a collectable part of Punk Rock & Roll History. I have seen copies sell on Ebay for $100 or more. “We need to save as many humans as we can by amputation so they don’t morph into Morlocks. It is a noble task, somebody has to do it”
Yours truly,
Jack Ripper
aka George Kielczynski, S.R. CA
Peace and love everybody.
Gang Green and the Amputators 7″
Ha ha ha Drunk And Armeds comments are trackbacks from their site in case you didn’t knew. Click their name and you get it.
One of the few records I gave away with good reason. I can’t stand it, hahaha. I had always suspected GG & A of being either a Mentors side project or a total rip off (especially the vocals).
gave it away? ha ha. great stuff!!
whats up dude, is this jon kunix?
I bet if Nigel Tufnel had soloed on it Erich wouldn’t have given it away! lol
Hey, the solos are the only thing worthwhile on this slab, apart from the nice ps!
I dunno, I like this sleazy shit sometimes. Isn’t that what punk is for, ha, ha!
Hey Erich. Here’s the guitarist from GG & A’s website. Maybe you could send him some fan mail.

Can’t a person just goof around Flakes drummer??? I just get bored. Are you still in the Flakes?? I was going to go to Frisco to see them, but the wife is going out of town for business. Maybe next time?/
Mentors were funnier than shit…these guys just suck.
Sure a person can goof around ha ha. Thought you didn’t get that it was a trackback.
Yes, I’m still in The Flakes but not in the US The Flakes. I’m in the original The Flakes.
Fan Mail sent, Scientist. Thanks for the link!
OK…when are the real Flakes coming to America?? Hope some time in the future. Cheers

My Dad was the Original Guitarist of this band. Back in SF. He Co-Wrote it with the Singer Tilish and another guitarist ended up playing it on the Album. It was on a 45. a 7″ and me and my sisters listened to it growing up. I have pictures of my dad with the bags over all of their heads. He said it went big in germany. and got no money or rights to it.
My boyfriends dad was tillisch (vocals) :D
Do you know where Ken tillisch is. I knew stan fuller the original guitarist.RIP stan
Ken Tillisch is dead :-( He died lastyear sometime in his home. My Dad, Ken Harper (the original guitar player of the band) was really hit hard by the news of Tillisch’s death. It was like, the end of a legacy. Poor Tillisch. R.I.P. Ken Tillisch

Gang Green is still alive and well in San Francisco…….ready to gig with his original bandmates.
Gang ,Has P.A will travel.
It is with great sorrow that I inform all that Kenneth Tillisch, “Gang Green” of “Gang Green And The Amputators” past away on September 17, 2012. R.I.P.
Ken I am sadden by the loss of my friend. I have been calling his cell.Now I know why he didn’t answer.R.I.P. Ken Tillisch.
Hey Henry,
Never got to meet you but Tillisch talked about you a lot and held you in very high regard. Crazy and moody as he was I really miss Tillisch. I’t hard to believe both Stan and Ken are gone.
Best,
Kenneth Harper
So the bass player for gang green works at black mountain rec center in Henderson nevada, he teaches music lessons there, he’s a really cool dude. Just thought I’d share haha
Ken Harper Glad we hooked up on Facefuck,It can be a cool site,I still talk to Marty Howard and Larry Wahl Rick ,Shafer.just to name a few. But if you want to sent script and photos FB’s does it well. Talk at you soon ken. Need to get caught up.
I’m 40 and consider myself a tough guy (ex-cop, raggare fan, like to beat punks around) but the truth is this single really scares me. Actually, I just heard it on this site last week and couldn’t sleep and am staying at my mother’s house with bad dreams – took me all day to get up the courage to return to this site, even the cover art is scaring me.
