I'm watching Decline II

[Chip Z'Hoy]

I picked up the Decline box set the other day and I have been so pleased with this investment. I watched the first one last night--so great.

Tonight is Part II.

I ate me a gummy about an hour ago and let me tell you something--LIZZY BORDEN ROCKS.

And Poison seem like cool guys. That whole "The 4 look to the 3, the 1 being the individual" bit was like the Marx Brothers. They might be GENIUSES.

Just say no, people.

[Spongie]

I never watched the first one until maybe 6 or 8 years ago, and instantly loved it. I might even like it a click more than part II.

[Rocker4Real]

Does the DVD have a commentary track and special features?

[VinnieVincentsVag]

Always enjoyed it.
I lived it to a certain extent.
Hasn’t necessarily aged well

Penelope Spheeris and Nadir D'Priest do pt 2 commentary.

[LAglamrocker]

Be fun to watch this then go hear some Faster Pussy Cat classics live tonight at Whisky
Mr Steele PussyCat shows up pretty regularly now at Whisky gigs
Cathouse-Poison Ivy- City Has No Heart
Living In LA Is So Much Fun

I’ve dedicated my life to become Decline II (not Al Bundy)

Lizzy Borden and Seduce are the highlight of the bands who perform. Megadeth was all over MTV at the time so they were no surprise. Odin and London stunk the movie up. It’s like Penelope went out and found the two worst hairbands on the Strip at the time. She didn’t do the scene any favors but the scene didn’t do itself any favors either.

Poison and Ozzy were the best. I used to like the Chris Holmes part. Now I just find it sad and cringy.

I’m glad you liked it. Lizzy’s name and image fell flat but they were legit in it.

My first Metal Sludge forum username was "Wet Cherri Guy". And then I lost the password. I'm still sad.

I like Seduce but they were totally lame in this

[aznsquirt]

Seduce fucking rules.

I’m watching it now because of this thread-
I didn’t remember the chap wearing Odin singer saying he was suicidal. What ever happened to him?

[Traxan]

I don't believe for a second Chris poured real vodka on his face. That woulda burned the shit out of his eyes. That was water.

Cool, thanks.

Everyone says Axl ripped Shark Island but it looks to me like he studied the Odin singer.
A comment on that vid said the same

I wonder what it finally took for some of them to accept they were not going to become rock stars no matter how badly they wanted it. Some of those people were so cringe and it was weird how blind they were to it. They really did think their lack of talent didn't matter and their swagger made up for it. It would be interesting to revisit them now and hear what made them throw in the towel.

He has his own YouTube Channel. He's very religious and right wing now: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_ ... ndy+Roberg

[LAglamrocker]

I always wondered what dudes thought during that time(looking fun awesome badass)- if they knew -they would look like the people they probably hated growing up later in life
Looking like fake failed school principal-but maybe that is for the best
Not everyone wants to be Encino Man/Swamp Thing

Richard Black says Axl ripped him off. Most people never gave enough of a shit about Shark Island to begin with.
It’s all sour grapes on Black’s side of it.

Axl and Randy ripped off DLR with the chaps. Randy to me sounded like Joe Elliott if he couldn’t sing, write good lyrics and had a lame image.

Axl could actually carry a tune and was always somewhat open that Nazareth’s Dan McCafferty was a big influence on him. Obviously Brian Johnson was too.

Same. Best part of II is dude in the parking lot mocking other metal-heads of the day; "KNAC RULES, DUDE!!"

[Rocker4Real]

Someone could just as easily done a doc on the dark side of the early 90s Seattle scene. It could have some up-and-comers shooting up heroin saying corporations suck after signing to a major label.

They’d need a cameo by LAGlamrocker

You’re probably right. But I want to say Penelope confirmed that he did. I know that’s been serious speculation for years. Chris is lucky he’s still alive.

Grunge Decline
Opening shots should be Def Leppard performing Hysteria / Pour Some Sugar On Me from Sep 4 2024 show at T Mobile Park with 55000.
Interview people all day how “great “ grunge was

Can’t interview Cobain Layne Cornell

Have cameos from Pear Jam kids telling all the lies Pearl Jam dads told them

Last scene should be Butch Walker crying

Oh yes...what a great doc that would be. Cobain dying. Staley losing himself to heroin. How long did Grunge really last anyway before Pop Punk/Alternative/Nu Metal took over?

Axl and Randy ripped off DLR with the chaps.

And DLR ripped off Jim Dandy with the chaps, the giant studded belt and the shirtless look.

'Bout 3 or 4 years.

I concur.

Jim wore chaps with no pants underneath too?

Phil Lynott wore studded belts too.

I doubt Jim was the only rock singer going shirtless in the 70s. That’s kind of a dumb thing to argue over.

The story has been told differently a few times, by both of them. It's a bit hard to piece together with the scene.

But as best I can tell, the first half or so of Vodka that he pours all over himself is real, and then refills the bottle with water for the rest of the scene.

I mean, he pours 2/3rds of a bottle on his face, and then 2 minutes later the bottle is full again, lmao.

[Rocker4Real]

I didn't learn till years later Ozzy's orange juice pouring was fake.
