About Can't Live Without It

Can't LIVE Without It was the only live album release from American hardcore punk/speed metal band, Gang Green. It was recorded at The Marquee Club in London, UK on February 25, 1990 and was released by Roadrunner Records later that year. It features one line up change from their previous two albums – Josh Pappe had joined from fellow crossover thrash band, D. R. I., to replace Joe Gittleman who had been fired shortly after the release of the studio album, Older... Budweiser, in 1989. After finishing a headline tour of Europe, of which this material was a part, Fritz Ericson retired, Josh Pappe got married, and long-term drummer, Brian Betzger decided to start a pool hall. Far from finishing the band, Chris Doherty assembled some replacements, including Walter Gustafson who had left the band in 1984 – only to be replaced by Betzger again seven months later. They released one last album, a compilation called King of Bands with two newly recorded tracks, with new bass and guitar players, before a hiatus which lasted until 1997 more »
