A great look back at old times.......2007-05-16

Have to admit of all the punk DVDs out these days this has got to be my favorite, not least because of the content of the DVD but the commentary at the end from both the directors and members of Youth Brigade and Social Distortion.

I can only assume that some who have reviewed this DVD didnt watch the extra footage because for example the scene where the song 'another state of mind' was written was staged, other scenes such as the video of the Youth Brigade violenc has crowd shots from Circle Jerks amongst others mostly because the directors couldnt find good enough footage from Youth Brigade shows.

Its great to hear the 2 different perspectives from the directors who while wanting to make a loyal film on punk culture had to keep in mind that they had to sell the thing and they had contracts to stick to while band members complained about how many scene were unrealistic. Scenes such as endless shots of toothless punks to make the film look more 'real' the shot of the band sneaking in the back door of a show because the 'jocks' were waiting for them (in actual fact the 2 shots were from 2 different shows and while the band snuck in the back door the camera crew went in the front braving the crowd! Other great things to look for are the punk chick/model from DC. Realy interesting to hear the contrasting comments. The band who deeply disliked that she was even in the film as she was unknown in the DC punk scene while the directors disliking the snobbish attitude of punks towards her pointing out that this was everything punk was not supposed to be!

Great to see Social Distortion live though, one of the great bands of punk. Hear they always tried to sound like Americas answer to the Clash, not so sure about that but they were a great band.

Great DVD, one you will watch and watch again. One point though, dont know why this is featured as having Ian McKaye in it as though he had some leading role. He is in it for about 5 minutes. If you are buying it to see some early Minor Threat there is about 2 minutes from a live show when the sound went and the crowd sings along. Other than that you will be very disappointed.

Definately not MTV...right?.......2007-04-12

In Another State of Mind, we follow two fledgling LA punk bands, Youth Brigade and Social Distortion, on a tour accross the United States, as they leave a wave of destruction and cacophony in their wake.

This nostalgic throwback to youthful rebellion and hapless advocacy of the DIY ethic is quite contrary to what one might expect from current punk rock phenoms like Good Charlotte and Canadian pop-punkers Sum-41. Although, despite their best efforts(shooting in both 16mm and video), the deft editing and high production values are quite obvious.

Adam Small and Peter Stuart, whose mission was to prove to the masses that punk rockers were more than "mindless morons," produce a high quality film, with most of the focus on the relationships of the band members and the ensuing drama within the tour. Mike Ness and Shawn Stern, from Distortion and Brigade respectively, are often taken aside for "Real World"-esque interviews, exposing the seedy underbelly of the seedy underbelly that is punk rock.

As much as I enjoyed this film, one can't help but walk away wondering if a documentary of this quality and focus holds true to the cornerstones of punk rock: angst, violence, and the DIY ethic. It's ironic that Mike, Shawn, and the members of DC band Minor Threat devote their lives advocating these laurels, yet they participate in this new age project aiming to cut them off at the knees, exposing the drama of the softer, sweeter side of punk rock. If that's not MTV, I don't know what is.

Road Rules has never sounded better.

PUNKS IN NEED.......2007-01-05

This one-hour documental portraits the life on tour across America of a Social Distorion in its very beginings, and the radical boys of Social Youth. The main event of the DVD is to see a very young Mike Ness without a single tatto!!! and the writing, along the tour, of one of his emblematic songs: Another State of Mind. Necessary to those interested in subterreanean american punk history.

Underground Punk Scene.......2006-11-03

Being a big fan of Social D, I enjoyed seeing the making of "Mommy's Little Monster" album. Enjoyed the scene of the time.

I don't have a title........2006-01-25

I bought the dvd yesterday when I went on a splurge at Best Buy cause I had so many gift cards... I don't own any albums by Social D, Youth Brigade or Minor threat but this movie is alright. It reminda me a lot of the book Philosopy of Punk which I also recently read. The DVD offeres a lot of insight to the whole "scene" but personally it wasn't informative at all seeing as I already knew about it. At any rate, if you're into the three bands I'd pick up this movie just cause it has great tour footage and such also, it shows how the members of the bands really are behind the microphone and personally I always wondered who the asses of the underground are.
