Recommend a Grunge Documentary For Me To Watch

LukinFan

Yesterday, I watched Malfunkshun: The Andy Wood Story for the first time. I had no idea it even existed. 

What else have I missed? Recommend a grunge doc for me to watch. It doesn’t have to be related to Pearl Jam. 

Thanks!

What platform did you watch it on?

It’s on Amazon but if you Google it, you’ll find a free version

Just finished Hype. Great doc. I learned a lot, and there’s a ton of great footage in it. For the first half of the doc I’m thinking, how did they get such great footage from so long ago? And then I saw it was originally released in 1996. Makes sense. Thanks again!

(you can watch it for free on Prime if anyone else wants to see it)

1991: The Year Punk Broke is one of my favourites, part concert film and part doc.

I have the CD soundtrack for Hype!  It is awesome.

I didn’t realize there was a soundtrack. I’ll have to dig that up too. Thanks!

This was the first one that came to mind for me too.

I liked “I’m Now: The Story of Mudhoney” as well, because they’re linked to just about everyone else.

It took me a while to dig through my CDs but I found it.. I don’t know if it’s on vinyl or not.

I really enjoyed 1991… I found it on YouTube. Again, I learned a ton and there was a lot of great live footage in it. Thanks again!

If I can find it, I’m planning on watching “Im Now” tomorrow. Thanks for the recommendation

I remember Vedder playing a Gas Huffer song and having Joey Ramone introduce it on a Monkey Wrench Radio bit after one of the shows.

I LOVED when they did that!  Bring that energy back!

Santos L Halper might have some street knowledge about Coffin Break.

You probably are aware of this book, but as a companion to Hype! I would strongly suggest "Everyone Loves our Town". I would agree with the folks who recommended The Year Punk Broke - fantastic live footage of Dinosaur, Sonic Youth and of course some funny backstage stuff. Dave Grohl was really into the backstage catering options.
