Fusing an innovative mixture of narrative and documentary style, Grossman illustrates the wild story of Darby Crash – born Jan Paul Beahm – and his mysterious five-year plan to become a legend. The story begins as Paul is being expelled from IPS, an experimental high school in West Los Angeles before forming the band with his friend, Georg (George) Ruthenberg.
Beahm and Ruthenberg with the band idea set in their minds, post flyers around town to recruit members. The flyers, in true Beahm form say, “Wanted: Two untalented girls who don’t know how to play their instruments to form a band.” They find Terri Ryan, who becomes the bassist, and Belinda Carlisle, on drums. Belinda, however, leaves the band before they ever practice or perform and eventually joined the all-female Frank Zappa backed group The Go-Go’s. A young woman named Becky (a.k.a. Donna Rhia) becomes the first drummer for The Germs. Beahm appoints himself lead singer and Ruthenberg chooses to pick up the guitar. Beahm endows each band member with a new stage name: George becomes Pat Smear; Terri becomes Lorna Doom; and he names himself Bobby Pyn. He decides to name the band “Sophistifuck and the Revlon Spam Queens” but later realizes that the name requires more letters than they can afford to put on their t-shirts. The group settles on The Germs.
At their first performance in lieu of not knowing how to play instruments, Beahm (as Bobby Pyn) manufactures chaos by starting a food fight with the audience. From their creation, The Germs earn the reputation amongst local bars and clubs of a fiery, uncontrollable stage spectacle, which makes it difficult for the band to book gigs. Bobby Pyn changes his name again, this time to the infamous Darby Crash, and decided that it was time for the band to get serious. Drummer Becky (as Donna Rhia) is forced out of the band, causing The Germs to go through a multitude of drummers before settling on Arizona transplant, Don Bolles – Born Jimmy Giorsetti. Bolles named himself after the Arizona journalist of the same name, who had recently been murdered by the Mafia. Bolles had heard The Germs’ EP, Forming/Sexboy (live) 7 from What? Records, and drove from Phoenix to Los Angeles in hopes of joining the band. Shortly thereafter the group begins playing regularly at the Masque on North Cherokee Avenue, where they develop their talent and establish their notoriety throughout the underground punk scene.
