Quotes
Moby: I remember I looked at the line-up, and I was like, what is this? How did this happen? How is this Woodstock? It would've made so much more sense if it'd been called, like, Army Base Rock '99 Featuring Limp Bizkit.

Completely Misses The Issue

I was looking forward to this documentary, having previously studied Event Management and being a regular attendee of music festivals.

Whilst it was really interesting to see so much footage from this infamous event, the documentary crew sadly spent less time focusing on the fact that terrible organisation and conditions were the clear catalysts for the chaos that occurred, and instead were too busy giving air time to washed up DJs like Moby who just wanted to blame it all on Limp Bizkit and white dudes.

Odd that no other metal festivals of that era turned out the same way if it's just white nu-metal fans who were to blame. There were some absolutely horrible people in that crowd, without a doubt, but this documentary would've benefitted on diving deeper into mob mentality and conditioning rather than just trying s desperately to pin it on artists and their fans.
