This Woodstock 99 doc on HBO is wild

[TallMan_J]

An HBO documentary about the reckless nature and savagery of white men? I’m gonna check it out tomorrow on HBO Max. The cacs are HEATED in those YouTube trailer comments. They’re upset about how it truthfully depicts them.


It’s gotta be good if it upsets those clowns.

Doc is basically implying that Woodstock 99 showed some of the roots of the alt right, Trump supporters, etc. I think that’s an oversimplification but you can definitely tell most of the crowd cheering for DMX and yelling “my nygga” will one day grow up to call George Floyd a criminal on social media

It's a giant reach. Woodstock 99 really wasnt that big of a pop culture moment

@Drew Wonder here ya go OP

Moby really summed up NuMetal

Yo, Moby went IN. You can tell he's wanted to get that shyt off since him and Em were beefing lol

I think they're exaggerating how it resonates with today's stuff, but Woodstock '99 was a huge deal. Without Woodstock '99 and all the fukk ups they had, there's no Coachella.


Most of the acts there flamed out within 5 years of that show and if they weren't already legends, only a handful became that.

A bit of a reach. But, it was less about the event itself and moreso about the generational shift between the Nirvana era of rock fans to the angry and pissed off Nu Metal fans and how Woodstock 99 was a microcosm of all that

I love it. There’s nothing like the taste of entitled and pompous cac tears.

Dude acting like it was some huge propaganda piece when it literally SHOWS a sea of white people rioting and then admitting the cops went soft on them because they were white lol

Also the concert promoter John Scher is a piece of shyt. Dude justifies the poor planning, poor security and charging $4 for water while blaming Limp Bizkit for everything

I just got to this part.


Fred was just guilty of not reading the room when other artists did, but even Fred was telling people in the pits like "if you knock someone down, pick them up, but y'all had all day to mellow out"


It was Scher's fault for booking them. Even Podcast 99 absolves Fred Durst. If anything they blame Rage more because they did their show, knew how fukked up shyt was, and as soon as their set was over, they gotta outta dodge. When shyt went berzerk, they were in NYC away from everything.

Wesley Morris brings up a very good point about Americans not letting go.

EDIT: as glad as I am to see Dave Mustaine ain't dead yet, wow he's

Bruh, keep watching. The shyt Scher says gets even worse

Moby really summed up NuMetal

Nu Metal was basically what Trap music is to rap now.

You have the few talented acts [Deftones, System of a Down, Korn] that came out of it but then you get a bunch of garbage no talent acts that follow a formula until it becomes a parody of itself.

 

[tremonthustler1]

Wow. Scher's a piece of shyt for that. To think, Lang gets the brunt of the blame for everything (and deservedly so), but that guy really said that shyt out loud

I remember visiting My Sis that Summer in NY and I asked her to go on the Strength of DMX being there plus I remember watching the 94 Woodstock and thought it was Cool,she said No and after reading the Paper on the fukkery that went down on Sunday Night during and after The Chili Peppers set,Kinda Glad I didnt go

 

[Ku$h Parker]

Yea that shyt is crazy. Limp bizkit didn't make those people throw shyt at Primus but that's all anybody remembers is people crowd surfing on set pieces during "Break stuff"

Jonathan Davis from korn said Fred started that shyt too

I Love Ant,Flea and them Chili Pepper Boys but they kiinda Lit the Match after Fred and em poured out The Gasoline wit their Set considering they were the Closing Act that Night
