Because he was so good as Darby Crash, Shane West was hired as the new vocalist and The Germs reunited for a tour.
In the film, Don Bolles is seen as joining the band in September 1977. In reality, Cliff Hanger was the band's drummer at this time, and Don did not join the band until several months later in early 1978.
