'''Fear''', stylized as '''FEAR''', is an American [[punk rock]] band from [[Los Angeles]], formed in 1977. The band is credited for helping to shape the sound and style of Californian [[hardcore punk]].<ref name="allmusic.com">((cite web|last=Huey |first=Steve |url=((AllMusic|class=artist |id=p4240 |pure_url=yes)) |title=Fear |website=[[AllMusic]] |access-date=2011-07-22))</ref> The group gained national prominence after an infamous 1981 performance on ''[[Saturday Night Live]]''.

Frontman [[Lee Ving]] has been the band's only constant member. Since its formation, the band has gone through various lineup changes, and at one point featured [[Flea (musician)|Flea]], later a member of the [[Red Hot Chili Peppers]], on bass. The classic Fear lineup existed from 1978 to 1982, and was composed of Ving, guitarist [[Philo Cramer]], bassist [[Derf Scratch]], and drummer [[Spit Stix]]. Cramer and Stix later rejoined the band in 2018.

==History==
===1970s===
Fear was formed in 1977 by singer/guitarist [[Lee Ving]] and bassist [[Derf Scratch]], who recruited guitarist Burt Good and drummer Johnny Backbeat. In 1978, Fear released the single "[[I Love Livin' in the City]]". Shortly after this, Good and Backbeat left the band and were replaced by [[Philo Cramer]] and [[Spit Stix]].

===1980s===
Film director [[Penelope Spheeris]] met Ving and Stix while they were hanging [[handbills]] on telephone poles in Los Angeles on Laurel Canyon Boulevard. After a brief discussion, she asked if they wanted to be in a documentary about the Los Angeles punk scene,<ref name="markprindle.com">((cite web|url=http://markprindle.com/stix-i.htm |title=Spit Stix interview |publisher=Markprindle.com |access-date=2011-07-22))</ref> ''[[The Decline of Western Civilization]]'' (1981). In the film, Fear performed a set in which they baited members of the audience with personal attacks, sexist and homophobic slurs, and offbeat humor, inspiring some audience members to come on stage to fight them. At the time, Spheeris was married to [[Slash Records]] president Bob Biggs who, later that year, signed a recording deal with Fear.

Spheeris's documentary brought the band to the attention of [[John Belushi]], who lobbied successfully to get the band a spot as a musical guest on the 1981 Halloween episode of his former show ''[[Saturday Night Live]]''. Belushi had originally offered Fear the soundtrack for his major motion picture ''[[Neighbors (1981 film)|Neighbors]]''. The film's producers eventually forced Fear off the project, and Belushi got them the infamous ''SNL'' gig as compensation. The band's appearance included a group of [[moshing|slamdancers]], among them Belushi, [[Ian MacKaye]] of [[Minor Threat]] and [[Fugazi]], [[Tesco Vee]] of [[the Meatmen]], [[Harley Flanagan]] and [[John Joseph (singer)|John Joseph]] of the [[Cro-Mags]], and [[John Brannon (musician)|John Brannon]] of [[Negative Approach]]. The show's director originally wanted to prevent the dancers from participating, so Belushi offered to be in the episode if the dancers were allowed to stay.<ref name="markprindle.com"/> The end result was the shortening of Fear's appearance on TV. Fear played "I Don't Care About You", "Beef Bologna", "New York's Alright If You Like Saxophones", and started to play "Let's Have a War" when the telecast faded into commercial. They ended "Beef Bologna" by saying, "It's great to be in [[New Jersey]]", drawing boos from ''SNL'''s New York live audience. The slamdancers left ripe pumpkin remains on the set. Cameras, a piano and other property were damaged. After their ''SNL'' appearance, which resulted in $20,000 in damage, some clubs chose not to hire the band.<ref>((Cite web|url=http://www.citizinemag.com/features/interviews/41-lee-ving-interview.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100213233459/http://www.citizinemag.com/features/interviews/41-lee-ving-interview.html|url-status=dead|title=Citizenmag.com|archive-date=13 February 2010|access-date=16 September 2020))</ref><ref>((cite web|url=http://www.filmthreat.com/Reviews.asp?Id=6784 |title=Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera |last1=Dequina |first1=Michael |date=December 22, 2004 |website=filmthreat.com |publisher=[[Wayback Machine]] |access-date=August 31, 2016 |url-status=bot: unknown |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050411204155/http://www.filmthreat.com/Reviews.asp?Id=6784 |archive-date=April 11, 2005 ))</ref>

Fear also appeared in the 1981 [[Rotoscoping|rotoscope]] [[Animation|animated]] film ''[[American Pop]]'', directed by [[Ralph Bakshi]]. Ving performed under the name Lee James Jude.<ref>((cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/movies/movie/83636/American-Pop/cast|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150403005801/http://www.nytimes.com/movies/movie/83636/American-Pop/cast|url-status=dead|archive-date=2015-04-03|department=Movies & TV Dept.|work=[[The New York Times]]|date=2015|title=American Pop))</ref>

Additionally that year, [[Josie Cotton]] released the hit song "[[Johnny Are You Queer?]]". The song was based on Fear's song "Fetch Me One More Beer", written by Philo Cramer and John Clancy.<ref>''Destroy All Movies!!! The Complete Guide to Punks on Film'', Zach Carlson ((ISBN|978-1606993637))/</ref> Bobby and Larson Paine, who were managing [[the Go-Go's]], re-worked the song with new lyrics and gave it to them, but after a falling out forbade the band from playing it and gave it to Cotton.<ref name="auto">((Cite web|url=http://magnetmagazine.com/2006/09/09/josie-cotton-the-story-of-’80s-new-wave-hit-“johnny-are-you-queer”/|title=Josie Cotton: The Story Of '80s New-Wave Hit "Johnny, Are You Queer?"|first=Eric T.|last=Miller|website=Magnetmagazine.com|date=9 September 2006|access-date=16 September 2020))</ref> In several interviews Cotton has suggested that the song's title was lifted from lyrics in the Fear song,<ref>((Cite web|url=https://chelseacommunitynews.com/2019/09/29/oh-yeah-josie-cotton-is-everything-then-and-now/|title=Oh Yeah: Josie Cotton is 'Everything'—Then and Now |website=Chelseacommunitynews.com|date=29 September 2019 |access-date=16 September 2020))</ref><ref>((Cite web|url=http://www.spacecaserecords.com/news/2012/11/11/josie-cotton-interview|title=Josie Cotton Interview|website=Spacecaserecords.com|date=August 2012 |access-date=16 September 2020))</ref> though she has also stated that Fear's version of it went "You're a fuckin' queer",<ref name="auto"/> which is consistent with Fear's demo of the song.<ref>((cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUgLag_LvBE |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211212/OUgLag_LvBE| archive-date=2021-12-12 |url-status=live|title=FEAR - Fetch Me One More Beer (1978 Demo)|via=[[YouTube]]|access-date=16 September 2020))((cbignore))</ref><ref>((cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXibneZ9zOI |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211212/HXibneZ9zOI| archive-date=2021-12-12 |url-status=live|title=FEAR - Fetch Me One More Beer (1978 Demo)|via=[[YouTube]]|access-date=16 September 2020))((cbignore))</ref>

When Fear found out a variation of their song had become popular, a meeting regarding the publishing rights of the song was arranged between them and the Paines. The two sides decided the winner of a [[coin toss]] would get the publishing rights to the song, which the Paines won.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://popcultureexperiment.com/2017/10/09/cover-songs-uncovered-johnny-are-you-queer/|title="Johnny, Are You Queer?": Cover Songs Uncovered|website=Popcultureexperiment.com|date=9 October 2017|access-date=16 September 2020))</ref>

In 1982, Fear released their debut album ''[[The Record (Fear album)|The Record]]''. After touring in support of the album, Ving fired Scratch. [[Eric Drew Feldman|Eric Feldman]] (of [[Captain Beefheart]], [[Pere Ubu]], and later [[PJ Harvey]] and [[Black Francis|Frank Black]]) briefly filled in on bass before he was replaced by [[Flea (musician)|Flea]]. Flea left the band and was replaced by Lorenzo Buhne. On July 3, 1983, Fear performed at the "Rock Against Reagan" protest concert at the [[Lincoln Memorial]] in [[Washington, D.C.]] along with the [[Dead Kennedys]], [[MDC (band)|MDC]], [[Toxic Reasons]], [[the Crucifucks]] and others. In the summer of 1983 through early 1984, while Stix was touring Europe with [[Nina Hagen]], [[Chuck Biscuits]] was supposed to replace him, but Stix returned and Biscuits never played any shows with Fear.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.misfitscentral.com/bands/fear.php |title=Fear |publisher=MisfitsCentral.com |access-date=2011-07-22))</ref> With Ving producing, the band recorded their second album ''[[More Beer]]'' in 1985 in just two days, supposedly. However, according to a representative from [[Enigma Records]], it took a full year, as quoted in a March 1986 issue of ''[[Spin (magazine)|Spin]]''.<ref>((cite web |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=gluUZX3Fkq8C&q=fear+we+destroy+the+family+why+did+lee+ving+write+songs+like+we+destroy+the+family&pg=PA63  |title=NOTHING TO FEAR |last1=Loud |first1=Lance |date=March 1986 |via=Google Books |work=[[Spin (magazine)|Spin]] ))</ref>

===1990s===
''[[Live...For the Record]]'', a live album of a 1985 performance, was released in 1991. Shortly afterwards, bassist Will "Sluggo" MacGregor was hired. After 1991–93 North American tours, Fear disbanded. Cramer and Stix left the band, citing disputes with Ving over finances, his [[right wing]] beliefs, and his lack of empathy. For the next two years, Ving performed in [[Austin, Texas]] as Lee Ving's Army. This eventually became the new Fear lineup, including Ving backed by LVA members Sean Cruse (guitar), Scott Thunes (bass) and Andrew Jaimez (drums). In 1995, Fear released the ''[[Have Another Beer with FEAR|Have Another Beer with Fear]]'' album, followed by ''American Beer'' (2000), which featured Ving and Jaimez along with new members Richard Presley and Mando Lopez. The album included new recordings of several previously unreleased older Fear songs, as well as some new compositions. Presley and Lopez then began playing with [[Kim Deal]] and [[Kelley Deal]] in [[the Breeders]].

===2000–present===
Fear (with Ving as the only original member) performed in the annual [[Warped Tour]] in 2008. Former bassist Scratch died from liver disease on July 28, 2010. He was 58 years old.

Fear played the [[South by Southwest]] festival in 2012.<ref>((cite web |url=http://sxsw.com/music/shows/bands |title=Music News &#124; SXSW 2013 |publisher=Sxsw.com |access-date=2013-06-15 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130703023737/http://sxsw.com/music/shows/bands |archive-date=2013-07-03 ))</ref> A re-recording of 1982's ''The Record'' was released in late 2012, under the title of ''[[The Fear Record]]''.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/the-fear-record-mw0001063305|title=The Fear Record - Fear &#124; Songs, Reviews, Credits &#124; AllMusic|access-date=16 September 2020|website=[[Allmusic]]))</ref> In 2018, the band reunited with Cramer and Stix, and added former [[AFI (band)|AFI]] bassist [[Geoff Kresge]] and Henchmen guitarist Eric Razo to the lineup.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.facebook.com/FEARtheband/photos/a.394500473911671/2227444123950621/?type=3 |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/iarchive/facebook/311573365537716/2227444123950621 |archive-date=2022-02-26 |url-access=limited|title=FEAR|website=Facebook.com|access-date=16 September 2020))((cbignore))</ref> In the spring of 2022, Fear announced that they had regained the master rights of ''The Record'' from Warner Music and announced a 40th anniversary deluxe edition of the album.

Fear went on tour throughout 2023.<ref>https://www.ticketweb.com/event/fear-with-defiance-help-dantes-tickets/13681398?spMailingID=10369783&spUserID=MzAzOTk3NTYxMTAwS0&spJobID=1880285043&spReportId=MTg4MDI4NTA0MwS2 ((bare URL inline|date=February 2024))</ref> In December of that year, Fear released the album ''For Right and Order''. It was their first new studio album in 11 years (and first new studio album of original material in 23 years). The lineup consisted of Ving, Stix, Kresge, and Razo, in addition to songwriting contributions from Cramer.<ref>((cite web |url=https://therecordspace.com/products/pre-order |title=Pre-Order FEAR "For Right and Order |website=The Record Space |access-date=January 4, 2024))</ref>
