Lukinx Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 (edited) Just thought I'd enlighten everybody about the documentary about the american hardcore scene in the 80's. It's called "American Hardcore" and for me, who's always been a part of the hardcore/punk scene here in Sweden, this documentary was great and it was amazing to see the live clips of some of my favourite bands plus hearing the survivors talk about those days. Now for the part that is related to this forum which is that both Duff McKagan and Tommy Stinson are in this documentary where Duff talks about when he was in the punk band called The Fartz and Tommy talks about how he wanted to be more hardcore at the time of the Replacements but was a little too scared. Pretty cool!IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0419434/This documentary will be out on DVD in 2007. Edited December 21, 2006 by Lukinx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I agree that hardcore was the best thing in the 80's. Too bad emo kids and jocks killed it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zint Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 It was cool to see Duff AND Tommy in this movie...GnR was one of the few bands to instill their punk influences into everything about them and do so in a believeable way.Can't imagine GnR without attitude.

G n F n R Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 No, Duff talks about Black Flag and not The Fartz. It listed him as a former member of The Fartz and Guns N' Roses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
