Dood Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 OMG!!! I have this on video somewhere! Remember seeing it when I was a teenage oik! The BBC ran a few nights of documentaries, including this Arena episode, a US documentary called 'The Decline Of Western Civilisation, Part 2' directed by Penelope Spheeris (not entirely sure what Part 1 was!! lol) and, Guns n' Roses - Live at the Ritz.. one of their best performances.. when they were young and still 'hungry for success'!! - I seem to recall there was an Ozzy Ozbourne concert and something to do with Maiden as well. You don't see decent stuff like that on TV these days!! Quote
sk8 Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 i'm sure i've seen part one, had it on video somewhere Quote

I haven't seen it, but it's supposed to be pretty decent. Part 2 is considerably more well known and a classic, must-see documentary. If only for the sight of WASP's Chris Holmes pouring vodka on himself, while floating around on a air-bed in his mum's swimming pool. Quote

sk8 Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 wasn't one i saw then, definately PArt II. Watched it quite a few times. Quote
dudewheresmybass Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 This was (and still is ) classic viewing. I can still remember it without even watching it! the parts that i still think on are Bruce talking about Gene Simmons' stuffed codpiece, napalm death playing you suffer, Tom Araya trying to spin his head off, and the kids skipping in a circle 'dancing' to Nuclear Assault. Even as i type, i remember even more. It was great then and even better now! Quote

An absolute classic. All of it. Nice to see Ozzy playing with nearly half a bag of marbles, too!! Quote
Ou7shined Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 Of course the Arena documentary was inspired by a more grass roots level [url="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=s8feNFx3y3U"]piece of work[/url]. Quote
