Hardcore came out of LA and DC, spread to everywhere else. Boston had bad bands who were morons and liked to fight. New York upped the ante having worse bands who went so far as to beat up on bands too. The only documentary where Henry Rollins doesn't look like a complete ass talking about things he knows nothing about (see MTV at any given hour)
Whats missing. There are a lot of zine people that would have added a more interesting aspect than most morons that are in bands. They usually don't have the ego or reason to embellish anything. I'm sure Tim Yohanon of Maximum RocknRoll would have been an excellent series of clips were he alive to do so. Al Quint, Tesco Vee etc.
Choke interviewed in his hair salon would have been great.
Also I think videos of TSOL in 86 right after the SSD and GANGGREEN sell-out videos would have shown the sell out thing as universal.
That said it's very cool that 3rd 4th 5th generation punk bands were not interviewed. They have nothing to add and this film would be even less focused and complete than it already is.
