Decline of Western Civilization

The Metal Years documentary was pretty entertaining. The part where they interviewed Chris Holmes of W.A.S.P. while he was shitfaced in front of his mother was terrible. Everything else was good.

Great little peaks into music history, especially for millenials and younger. I enjoyed them all.

I wish they would do a “where are the now?” For part 2. All the hair bands that didn’t make it when they said they had no plan B.

Also the live studio video of Megadeths “in my darkest hour” is totally bad arse.

Chris wasn’t guzzling vodka. The scene was completely scripted.

Also, Ozzy isn’t making breakfast in his kitchen. That’s on a Hollywood set.

The Decline of the Western Civilization is awesome. I wore that VHS tape out. That soundtrack is burned into my head. The second one is OK too but the first one introduced me to X, Fear, Black Flag.

Yea love Part 1.. Lee Ving is the man.. also oddly enough it was Black Flag when Ron Reyes was the lead singer, which is probably a good thing because Henry Rollins would've just talked the whole time about Minor Threat should've been in the movie or who knows what..

Part 3 was good, it's more sad than anything though and gutter punk was never remotely on the verge of being anything more than super fringe.. she might as well have done it on grindcore bands like AxCx

Look up Seduce on Spotify. 114 monthly listeners. Goes to show you not all L.A. bands whether they played the Troubadour, Whiskey, Cathouse, Roxy, etc had a huge disparity among them, despite all looking the exact same. Poison made it. Faster Pussycat sort of made it. Detroit Boys Seduce didnt. I do not think they were in it for the wrong reasons...which is why they didnt make it. Should have gone north to Canada and become another Triumph.
