The group is originally from Houston, Texas. They later relocated to San Francisco and eventually to Oakland, California.
Verbal Abuse was established in 1981 by singer and songwriter Nicki Sicki, formerly of the bands Sick Pleasure and Legionnaire's Disease, at the age of 17. Radi Kilowatt handled the bass duties, his brother General Electric (aka G.E.) was the original guitarist, and John Glenn played drums. The band members lived together in a church, where Radi Kilowatt was working. G.E. left the band after claiming to have found religion and declaring that Nicki Sicki was evil. He was replaced by guitarist Joie Mastrokalos. During this early period, drummer Jason Riquelmy from the band Skate Death occasionally assumed drum duties when John Glenn was not available.
In February of 1983, Glenn was advised by a native American spiritual adviser named Rolling Thunder not to travel with the band to play a concert in New Orleans for Mardi Gras, since it was "a bad day to travel" according to his superstitious beliefs. The other band members told him that if he chose not to come with them, he would be kicked out. Glenn proceeded to assume a meditative pose, sitting cross-legged in the parking lot and burning incense with a sad expression as the group left for the concert without a drummer. In New Orleans the band played with Toxin III of Lafayette and recruited their drummer Bitchy Bill to play the show with both bands, serving only as a temporary replacement in Verbal Abuse for this one gig. At the end of the concert, Bitchy Bill proceeded to load his drums into Verbal Abuse's van, to the dismay of his bandmates and girlfriend, who convinced him to abandon his whim to join them and to return with Toxin III to Lafayette. Three days later, back at the church in Houston, Bitchy Bill arrived unannounced with his drums and officially joined Verbal Abuse.
With this lineup, the band decided to relocate to San Francisco. After Nicki Sicki had left to California, Radi Kilowatt was forbidden by his girlfriend to leave Texas. Lacking his own vehicle, Mastrokalos told his friend Brett Dodwell (but not the other members of the band) that if he relocated to from Texas to California and also provided transportation for Mastrokalos to do so, that he would be the new bassist of Verbal Abuse. Although he had limited skill at playing the instrument, Dodwell did become the band's bass player upon arrival in San Francisco.
After a few weeks in California, Bitchy Bill began to annoy the other band members with his selfish behavior. While driving down Market Street in San Francisco, the band pulled over to the curb and Mastrokalos unloaded Bill's drum set onto the sidewalk and commanded him to get out of the van, and they drove away.
During this time period, the members of Verbal Abuse all kept their heads shaved. When they met drummer Gregg James, his head was already shaved, so the band immediately accepted him as the new drummer.
