Seven Ages of Rock-Left Of The Dial-US Alternative rock-3of7

[jammysau]

And here they are: Poo Poo Box!!

[samurai5625]

Can't believe no mention of Sonic Youth.

Daydream Nation was a huge album for 80's alternative.



[jacobladders]

@samurai5625 yet they feature the song hyperstation for a few seconds Daydream Nation is a classic album a killer influential record

[PBANDSNOW]

Nirvana=In Utero its an amazing album, Nevermind sucks. And the great thing is that Nirvana also hated the album

[supershqipa]

@PBANDSNOW

Nah,.... Insecticide

[PBANDSNOW]

@supershqipa Insecticide was just Bleach with Aneurysm and Sliver

[darkpatriot85]

@PBANDSNOW I always preferred "Bleach" myself.

[failman9]

sounds weird we have Dennis hopper narrating the American version.

[utuber377]

Poo poo box, I wonder how big they would have made it than. LOL I just could not picture what my life would be like without Nirvana. Maybe the same, but most likely not.

[TheDavelogan]

The noughties have produced some good bands, you just have to hunt for some of them. Kasabian from the UK are quite good. Kings of Leon breaking through with their Because of the Times album. Artic Monkeys first two albums. The first Killers album. The band I Am Giant, who came oout right at the end. In New Zealand we had Blindspott, The Bleeders, Sommerset, Foamy Ed, Ritalin and Pluto. Some bands from the90s also hit new levels of creativity, e.g. Muse

[staponsa1]

Noughties worst decade of music ever, unoriginal commercialized crap.

I can't think of 1 noughties band that can compare to the many greats of the past.

Let's hope it picks up soon, recessions are usually good for music :)

[jrock253]

@staponsa1 Wrong! Actually 2000-2010 is the worst decade in music! Unoriginal Commercialized Crap was only Founded in the nineties - today it reigns supreme. Boo.

[staponsa1]

@jrock253

I thought noughties were 2000-2010? :o

I didn't say nineties!!!

[fuckclearchannel]

Pretty good doc overall, and I'm glad the early days of R.E.M. were mentioned to shut up the posers who say they were just another 90's band with a few hits (Murmur pisses on most of the albums those posers are probably listening to), but yes they should've given a wider discussion of Seattle.

[DeBoWed]

man they didn't say enough about the Replacements may favorite band on this list

[PhilJamesTaylor]

what REM song is it at the 7 minute mark?

[FridKid]

@PhilJamesTaylor turn you inside out

[PhilJamesTaylor]

thank you

[Noeladishi]

Peter Buck, great guitarist

[reflectsonlife]

by the time REM came out with To the One I Love, they were already ancient in the indie/college rock world. we had been listening to them for 4-5 years by then.

[oxodunk]

good for you,

im doesnt even exist at that time

[Radz117]

That's great.

[OnewingedAngel69]

wierd i thought this was a doc about alternative,not seattle grunge/punk only...

[TheGearsKeepTurning]

OnewingedAngel69.

This is about altenative, not the shitty excuse for alternative the indie and emos call alternative today.

This is REAL alternative music. The left of the dial music we'll never know again because of technological advancements.

This is altenative. Fuck any other "alternative".

[alexthemod1]

technological advancement only ADDS to finding more underground bands which usually never get found. also it creates MORE underground bands thus more alternative music etc. how cud it be a bad thing?

[edesone]

@TheGearsKeepTurning What about alternative hip hop?

[larbo1616]

@edesone fuck hip hop. rock is my life... that's my opinion :)

[weirdnproud117]

2:57 "this goes into a guitar" lol

[thatrottenzombie]

I wish they mentioned Dinosaur Jr., those guys were really influental on the alternative/grunge scene.

p.s. Check out Mark Arm's Black Flag shirt at 4:15.

[cmyall]

Probably were originally gonna be mentioned as on the BBC website, an extra content interview with Henry Rollins has Freak Scene playing in the background

[92soothsayer]

@thatrottenzombie yea i discovered Dinosaur Jr on wikipedia and wondered 'why isn't this band mentioned by any experts under the alternative category or wutever' since they do seem like something a bit different. theyr not like metal or anything else. 'the wagon' 'dont wanna go there' 'no bones' & 'feel the pain' & soon listened thru some of their albums. i never got far though cuz lol their mid-90s cds kinda drove me away. they seemed to have trouble with their sound, which is understandable

[jacobladders]

@thatrottenzombie Dinosaur Jr. Should've been mentioned in this document of alternative rock and alongside mentioning portland oregon's the wipers who had a huge influence on punk and grunge

[Raveneffect22]

POO POO BOX

[thatrottenzombie]

I'm glad that they mentioned Mudhoney. Almost everytime they talk about grunge, they just talk about Kurt Cobain while "Smells like Teen Spirit" blares in the background. They need to talk about grunge bands like Green River, Tad, Mudhoney, Blood Circus, etc.

[stillwaterseven]

good point.

[psychopomp33]

Man, this documentary is awesome!

[intermissionatnoon]

its the damned - new rose

[francescop1]

does anyone know the name of the song in the opening credits? (the one that goes "is she really going out with him?)

[stillwaterseven]

Well, I know that it's an Elvis Costello song

not sure of the title, hope this aids you in your search

[francescop1]

emm..i dont think its that one mate, although costello has done i think a cover of joe jackson's is she really going out with him - i think

[mrgalaxia12]

the song is

new rose - the damned

[rahungry]

New rose, first punk hit! lol

[recondo12]

its the damned new rose.you can see the history in the 7ages of punk

[clemson2311]

U dont need to be talking to TRUE fans like that butt muncher

[GrungeRock1991]

my fault thought you meant this video

[GrungeRock1991]

Well I had to assume so because you said "notice how these bands suck." You didn't leave Nirvana as an exception in your post, so it makes sense that you wouldn't like them. Besides, the name can be fooling dude, as there was one guy whose name said something like "Metallica rules" when he actually hated them after the 90s. By the way didnt mean to insult you just a matter of opinion, I realize that. But dude these bands, although Nirvana and REM are my favorites, are the shit.

[clemson2311]

go f yor self grunge rock

[GrungeRock1991]

What the fuck? What did I even say to you?

[GrungeRock1991]

Lets see, Nirvana, R.E.M., the Pixies, Black Flag, Mudhoney, Husker Du, etc...

[rahungry]

Too bad they hardly mention sonic youth

or maybe a little of the butthole surfers.:(

[sokmonkey77]

Yeah. Sonic Youth are waaaaay too important to be ignored. Butthole Surfers weren't that important, but still good in my opinion.

[GrungeRock1991]

Notice how you're just a little faggot who has nothing to do with his/her life and bash great bands.

[GrungeRock1991]

Notice how your opinion doesn't mean shit.

[chilil57]

Yeah, fuck you all! Grunge and Alt Rock are the only real kinds of music, if you handle that, you don't know what music is.

[talktal]

the problem with these shows is they only cover bands who were heavily played on the radio and hardly any of the core bands

[eeddssoonn1989]

for reals man this shit blows...theres nothing like metal

[deviaan]

Metal? As in men in tight ass clothes singing about how awsome they are and yelling so high they sound as if they were castraded, along with poofy girly hair? Is that what you mean? Cause...yeah im GLAD there is NOTHING like that.

[peace0ff]

still putting out cds and playing to packed arenas and large venues gary numan bauhaus u2 the cure duran duran depeche mode front 242 killing joke billy idol nine inch nails tears for fears

[PrintC]

don't care

[PrintC]

no i care about them. just not your bullshit. nice try though

[peace0ff]

I think you're just angry because you have a small penis.

[PrintC]

but im not the one who is angry :X. again nice try.

[SomethingRules]

you like nine inch nails and u2 and you call other people fags

[peace0ff]

still putting out cds and playing to packed arenas and large venues gary numan bauhaus u2 the cure duran duran depeche mode front 242 killing joke billy idol nine inch nails tears for fears only a tiny few of vh1's other bands can still do that.

[sebastian577]

Shitty bands

[peace0ff]

Why did they do an american only show when the other shows weren't that way?

Hmm is it because bands like, P.I.L., Duran Duran, Billy Idol, U2, gary numan, bahaus, The Cure, New Order, devo, love + rockets, tears for fears, Depeche Mode, killing joke, were more alternative and well known than the shit bands they showed? I think so.

VH1 IS FUCKING STUPID.
