HELLS ANGELS ... Currently listending to Podcasts and Interviews about Motorcycle Gangs.

[MetalSludgeCEO]

Anyone listen to any of these?

The Mel Chancey story is pretty interesting... > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjPMvj3eK9c

The guy was President of the Chicago Chapter at age 23... almost unheard of to be that young and the main guy,

He's 5'9" - 5'10", and once weighed 290lbs... body builder freak... google his name, the pics of his upper body are nuts! lol.

Did 3 stints in prison, now in his 50's... and living a clean life... interesting for sure.

Also just listened to this one, about an Undercover Federal Agent (Jay Dobyns) who infiltrated the Hells Angels... > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Im2NDcFEg8s

Haven’t heard any podcasts, but if you want some seriously excellent reading material, “Under And Alone” by William Queen (fake name) is probably my favorite book of all time to read over and over again.

Undercover ATF agent infiltrated the Mongols’ SFV chapter back in the late 90s, and it’s all about his double life being a single father, having to do all sorts of insane shit to become a member, and actually experiencing feelings of brotherhood with the deplorable criminals he’s supposed to be investigating.

I describe it as Breaking Bad before there was Breaking Bad, just in terms of a high suspense double life.

It was supposed to be made into a movie with actual Mongols participating, directed by the guy who did Training Day.

Excellent...

I am intrigued by anything but Music at this point in my life...

The Mafia, Biker Gangs, Sports History, Documentaries on anything from McDonald's to Harley Davidson to NIKE.

Listening to or reading about hairbands, rock n' roll or the related... is like trying to get me to go to Church... no thanks.

DO NOT hire these guys to handle security at any concert you're a part of.

Let me know what you think if you check it out!

Documentary I recommend to everyone is “How To Change Your Mind” on Netflix (as well as the book it’s based on). The subject isn’t what I’d imagine you gravitate towards, but then again the title sort of speaks for itself.

Definitely relate to escaping music. Just because we love doing it (you professionally, me very not professionally) doesn’t mean that it can’t sometimes feel like a job that you need to get away from!

[Rodderz]

George Christie has done a few good podcasts and his patreon is really good, as are his books
Demons row on YouTube is unlistenable.

[Rodderz]

Oh yeah search out the ‘Relative Unknown’ podcast, wild stuff about an Angel who went into witness protection

[crowes74]

Hunter S Thomphson has a book about joining the Hells Angels as well, pretty wild stuff.

They used to stay at a hotel my cousin worked at during Bike Week in Myrtle. She would introduce us and we'd have a few drinks with them by the pool in the courtyard.

A helicopter would occasionally hover over with a cop filming them. When they'd ride out, two or three dark blue Crown Vics from across the street would fall in behind them.

The things I took from it was that they are very impressive to be around in a certain way. If you were respectful they were fine with you. And when the president spoke, the others immediately snapped to, and stopped whatever they were doing that he didn't particularly like.

Basically the premise of Mayans MC

Sounds kinda similar to the Donnie Brasco story with the FBI infiltrating the mafia.

[BDG135]

Do they still sell meth?

[rubysdad]

Spent a little my early twenties on the periphery of an OMC.
They had amazing parties up at their clubhouse,
Their was never any trouble because the rules were rigidly enforced.

If you like your sport a bit on the bizarre side I highly recommend this podcast.

Agreed 100% on giving this a listen. I went down a rabbit hole on some biker stuff and found this…it linked to the premise of the show Sons of Anarchy of all things.

[Vince Neil Eats]

Jay Dobyns wrote an excellent book about his time working undercover. You can feel the anxiety dripping off of the pages.

[Turner Coates]

That's a really good one. He was just a wimpy writer with a bike who infiltrated the Angels and got the crap beat out of him a lot.
It was before he fully developed his "gonzo" writing style.

Is anyone here a member of a Club?

Do you wear your vest with your colors everywhere?

Even at home when you are in your sweatpants laying around do you have your leather vest on?

[WolfgangVonPage]

Look into the war between the Angels and the Rock Machine up in Quebec .
Also, check out the Angels liquidating one of their own chapters. Again in Quebec.
Apache Trudeau was one crazy motherfucker.
Yves Lavigne has written a couple of good books on the Hells Angels.

I’m a member of NAMBLA

Would be hilarious, like Bert with his wigdana in hospital they lie on the couch with their vest on, just in case the boss want something
Personally, I think they’re all idiots.
Local MC chapter is a bunch of losers who wanna look tough.
Half of them can’t afford a decent bike.
All they do is hang at their club house and think they’re in Sons of Anarchy. If they ride 50 miles their back hurts.
Those 1% idiots are even more pathetic, I’m a tough dude the law dont count for me. Next day they’re cashing their welfare check.
Have been invited a few times to their open house evenings, but no thanks. Most bike owners I know feel the same way.
This aint the 70s anymore morons.

Try dipping into the Japanese Yakuza next, fascinating and terrifying:

Yakuza: Japan's Criminal Underworld by David E. Kaplan and Alec Dubro

Confessions of a Yakuza by Junichi Saga

Both incredible books.

Japanese prisons are also worth reading about. The regime is absolutely brutal and like nothing you'd hear about from the rest of the world. I burned through a ton of prison books and decided Japan is the last place I'd want to be locked up. There's a reason Tokyo is the largest metropolis in the world but has the lowest crime rate. The way prisoners are handled there is breathtakingly severe and cruel.

Someone here must own a Zack Wylde BLS leather vest. Come on. Fess up!

CANADIAN Hell's Angels?

"Pardon me, buddy, Please put your beer down. You may finish it after I beat the living snot out of you."

[FullDJacket]

Been watching a couple of youtubers who follow the outlaw mc clubs. From what I gather Hells Angels seems to be little more than a relic in many areas. For example the Las Vegas club has 3 members left, all 60+.

But I'm sure they're still strong in some regions.

[ParaDime77]

“God’s Of Mischief” by George Rowe is a great book about his infiltration into the Vagos MC in California.

Agreed, the Dobyn’s book is intense and well written. The dude is a complete psychopath masquerading as a fed.

“Out Bad” is another good read about the Mongols MC “Operation Black Reign” investigation by the ATF.

[SikkiNixx]

You guys see the biker take buddy's leather vest off his back at a red light??
Who has a bike and DOESN'T know you can't fly the patch if you are not presented with one?? It's very important to be invited to wear that shit...
I played a ton of their parties and I have about 7 or 8 t-shirts of theirs.. a few say Known Associate on the back in huge letters and I have never worn any of them even though I have full permission and the blessings to rock them shirts.. but I don't want that kind of attention at all

Hells Angels used to be mysterious growing up
Now with SOA BLS and Mayans have taught the world laugh at bikers

Biker shows are basically Melrose Place now
