1958

Richard Francis "Rikk" Agnew Jr. (born December 9, 1958) is an American musician with a career spanning more than 40 years.

He has previously been a member of some of the most influential bands of the Orange County hardcore punk genre, as well as the influential deathrock band Christian Death.

During his years with the Adolescents, Agnew became known as one of the best guitarists in the Southern California hardcore punk scene.

Richard Francis Agnew, Jr. was born on December 9, 1958, in Newport Beach, California.

He is half Irish and half Mexican-American and was raised in a blue-collar neighborhood in Fullerton, California.

He attended Fullerton High School.

Despite graduating with a 4.2 GPA, he loathed high school, saying it "destroyed more than it taught socially" and describing it as a place where people going through the changes of puberty and angst are being taught together to learn stuff for their lives.

Because he was shy, Agnew gravitated toward music, and played various instruments that he and his younger brothers Frank and Alfie found around the house.

1978

With Casey Royer, Agnew played bass in Social Distortion from late 1978 to late 1979 and guitar in the Detours in 1979.

He later played drums in the Social Distortion splinter group following his departure from Social Distortion.

1980

He joined the Adolescents in 1980, initially as a substitute drummer before becoming a guitarist.

1981

His guitar style and writing dominated the Adolescents' Blue Album, released in May 1981 on Frontier Records.

Agnew left the band soon after the album's release due to personal and creative differences.

In 1981, Agnew attended a performance by Christian Death in Pomona, California.

Attracted by their style and sound, he approached them after the show and asked if they needed another guitarist.

1982

About the album Emotional Vomit, Agnew said, "A lot of (the songs) I wrote while I was in a very bad state, a very lonely and self-abusing state. It was a way of letting it out".
