He started the band Panic in 1976, but soon the group assumed the name Black Flag. Greg became known for his devotion to music, rehearsing several hours per day, but that often upset other members of the band.

Until their fallout in 1986, Black Flag released six studio albums, including “Damaged”, “My War” (1984), “Slip It In” (1984), and “In My Head, among others, the sales of which only increased Greg’s net worth.
