justcause Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 Yeah, I've really got to come up with a new story! Who even remembers the Beatles anymore? Plus they tore down Shea Stadium a couple years ago! But because the weather was so bad, and there was some snow on the roads up in the mountains where the party was supposed to be, almost none of the kids showed up. Even the kid whose house it was didn't show up, so the other kids ended up breaking into the house and setting up a generator, because there wasn't any other electricity. So Sweet Children/Green Day ended up playing for literally five kids, and yet they played as if they were The Beatles at Shea Stadium. I mean they played their hearts out. I don't know where I found that, but it spoke to me and I printed it out and kept it. It's so vivid - the snow and the mountain road and the all-kinds-of-nothing being thrown up as barriers and those barriers being smashed thru. I fucking love it.
The Grohl Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 That was a really good documentary, but Billie did look a bit scary! lol
The Grohl Posted April 24, 2012 Posted April 24, 2012 Here's a brief review on the movie http://www.examiner.com/review/one-nine-nine-four-documentary-review
desertrose Posted April 25, 2012 Author Posted April 25, 2012 By Gregory Adams Sonic Youth's old tour doc may have claimed that 1991 was the year punk broke, but director Jai Al-Attas argues in his new film One Nine Nine Four that it was, in fact, Green Day's rise to fame in 1994 that really brought the genre to the mainstream. You can decide for yourself when you check out the music flick, which is streaming in its entirety online. The film chronicles the punk boom of the '90s, featuring candid interviews with members of Green Day, Rancid, the Offspring, NOFX and Lagwagon, among others. Topics discussed include how Bad Religion's 1988 LP Suffer reignited the California scene, whether or not Billie Joe Armstrong and co. sold out when they signed with a major label for Dookie, the rise of mall punk, and who exactly brought extreme sports into the equation. For anyone that wore out their copies of Punk-O-Rama and Fat Music for Fat People around '96, or who first discovered Pennywise and Bad Religion in skate and surf videos, this will be a treat. http://exclaim.ca/Mu...our_documentary
