Editing Keith Morris (section)

===Black Flag===
In 1976, Morris co-founded [[Black Flag (band)|Black Flag]] (then-known as Panic) along with guitarist [[Greg Ginn]]. Their work ethic proved too challenging for some early members; Ginn and Morris had an especially hard time finding a reliable bass guitarist, and often rehearsed without a bassist, a factor that contributed to the development of Ginn's distinctive, often low-pitched guitar sound. The band went through three bass players before [[Chuck Dukowski]] joined and then [[Robo (musician)|Robo]] answered a ''[[Pennysaver]]'' ad and became their drummer.<ref name="mcneil">{{Cite web|last=McNeil|first=Legs|author-link=Legs McNeil|title=Keith Morris: Black Flag!|url=https://pleasekillme.com/keith-morris-black-flag/|work=[[Please Kill Me]]|date=August 11, 2015|access-date=March 20, 2020|archive-date=March 20, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200320173408/https://pleasekillme.com/keith-morris-black-flag/|url-status=live}}</ref>

After a number of line-up changes, Morris recorded vocals for the first Black Flag EP ''[[Nervous Breakdown (EP)|Nervous Breakdown]]''. After two years in the band, Morris left the band citing, among other reasons, creative differences with Ginn and Dukowski and his own "freaking out on cocaine and speed."<ref name="mcneil"/><ref name="comaratta">{{Cite web|last=Comaratta|first=Lee|title=Interview: Keith Morris (of OFF!)|url=https://consequenceofsound.net/2012/05/interview-keith-morris-of-off/2/|work=[[Consequence of Sound]]|date=May 14, 2012|access-date=March 20, 2020|archive-date=October 6, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241006211623/https://consequence.net/2012/05/interview-keith-morris-of-off/2/|url-status=live}}</ref> Morris stated in his autobiography he had also become disillusioned with what he saw as Black Flag's "militaristic" approach to practicing, despite not getting many shows at the time, and being left "out of the loop" on decisions for the band.{{sfn|Morris|Ruland|2017|pp=84-87}}
