Watched this when it first came out; like rereading a classic book, this is such a real and powerful documentary. So honest and good!

I've been a fan for years, just found the doc and I'm 15 minutes in. The commentary by Mike at 13:10 about the nature of counter culture is brilliant! Unfortunately the saying is true that history is written by the victor, and counter culture like punk rarely succeeds in that respect. Sure, there are many examples of well documented punk artists, but hearing about the perspective of a punk-listening outsider of the past is very uncommon. Great insight, cant wait to watch the rest of the doc! edit: oh my god these guys are so fucking cool, i knew the music was great but they were so in touch with the essence of the scene! and to me, the essence of the punk scene is the essence of so many people, like the music or not. rip D. Boone, you're a fuckin legend

D..Boon's untimely death was the beginning of the death of underground alternative music. That wonderful spontaneous organic period before the major labels could exploit it. Perhaps one can only grasp if you were living during that time and conscious of it. I listen to 98% of the shat music today (2024) and I can only say.... We miss you D.Boon 😢

Ragin Full On. One of my favorite CDs ever

Wonderful documentary. Love the minutemen. Love Firehose

Happy Birthday D. Boon

I've learned more about how to play guitar from air guitaring to D. Boon than any guitar teacher.

love this band

Wow, some great memories! The shows @ the old 9:30 were epic. Hit all the R.E.M. shows when they were opening, totally different but they were great.

Pete Rock brought me here. I Got a Love, from The Main Ingredient album.

This is so beautiful and so sad. What a great great band. I just became a fan yesterday. Wow.

I feel like such a fool for only knowing this band for doing the Jackass theme tune and nothing else. I thought they were just a country and western band, such a silly assumption on my part.

Such a sick band man…

This doc explained alot and tugged at my heart strings. Minutemen forever!!!!!

The Minutemen had the best moms. ❤

Every few months I watch this. I always tear up when we hear about d boons death 😞

1:03:29

Double Nickels on the Dime is a classic in any version, R.I.P. D. Boon. Shout out to Mike Watt.

Great band. Thank you for this

Thank you so much

In 84, if it wasn't SST, it wasn't shit. And if it wasn't the Minutemen, it was shit that wasn't trying hard enough

So glad I was there to see D Boons brilliance gone way to young RIP many shows all epic memories for numerous reasons my favorite was Sin 34 Johanna Went And The Minutemen at the Whiskey one of my cherished childhood memories another was playing with George Hurley 30 od years later with Kevin Freeze at Dennis McGiverns studio in Pedro . Mike is a solid bass player.Cheers to another band gone way to soon

my friend said about me “james likes like four bands; and three of them are the minutemen”. dayumn straight.

Timeless music,music that touches your soul 🇿🇦

They live next door, you know?🦉

After seeing/hearing/hangin` with, and getting pictures with and autographs from Watt and Ed fROMOHIO this past Friday in Pittsburgh Pa., I had to come here and watch this again. Watt is still much fun to talk with and Great to Listen To !

the moments wrapping around minute 54:00... Mike you are the fucking MAN.

I checked this due to Mike's connection with Graham Lewis of Wire. I didn't know anything about the Minutemen. I loved the documentary, and wow, they could really play.

Mike Watt has to be one of the best bass players I’ve ever heard. I wonder if he’ll ever be recognized for his awesome playin? My friends were into the minutemen but I’m still not. But another friend of mine played firehose for me an I’ve been hooked on firehose ever since. An I don’t know but I’m just starting to watch this now, I might have seen this video before, I can’t remember for sure. But does anybody know if the drummer from minutemen is the same drummer that’s in firehose? Cuz he’s priddy f’n good drummer too!

The Minutemen were a band that was the sum of all its members. Take one of them out of the band and the magic is gone. It had to be those three knuckleheads in order for the magic to work

Not to be crude, but perhaps Papa Watts was a Tom Cat😂

Just saw Mike Watt tonight, talked to him about the minutemen… he was so genuine and nice, signed my minutemen album and remembered my name when the show was over. Thankful I got to see him. RIP D Boon.

greatest guitarist in punk. period.

I was getting the basement ready to paint last week and found a post card from my friend Matt Adams. (It was a post card in name only. If you can put an address and postage on something they'll deliver it) On the front he wrote YOU MISSED DOG AID and told me about a benefit show for sombody's pooch before giving me a rundown on Minutemen. "They are simply the best band in this town. In addition to their own songs they play smokin' versions of Creedence's "Have you ever seen the Rain", "Green River" and "Don't Look Now", BOC's "The Red and the Black" Steppenwolf's "Hey Lawdy Mama." D.Boon is one big man with a monster guitar sound to match, Mike Watt plays jazzy/RB bass all over the place and Georges drums are hit harder than Martin Chamber's" I went out and bought "Three Way Tie' the next day. Thanks Matt, I miss you.

The only time I was lucky enough to see them was opening for REM @ Washington & Lee University in 1985. I imagine I was the only one there to see the opening band.

Lol Michael snipe

I was backstage with them when I was 15. Just me and them. They were so nice. D Boon passed less then 2 weeks later. I'm so happy d boons mom made him play

So touching. I'd listened to their records but I didn't know anything about _them._ Losing close friends is the hardest thing. They're the family that you choose and that chose you back. Damn.

I loved these guys…and still do. Saw them play live in Madison, Wisconsin and didn’t know their music as well then as I do now..they were just such likable people that I would have gone to see them over and over again.

Captain Beefart

What a beautiful documentary and what a beautiful band.

Best sound one ever heard in very long time

Double Nickels on the Dime is one of my favorite albums. And they're from Pedro, not far from my hometown of Redondo/Manhattan.

The best always leave us early. All 3 of these dudes are my heroes. Thanks fellas.

“I never saw a fat guy move like that I guess” is possibly the best j mascis quote 😂

The Red Krayola brought me here

1 night only: "Black Flag/Descendents/Fugazi" would be an awesome idea (they could raise so much money and hell it'd bring the world together honestly)- How did those 3 bands never do tours together(all 3)? Or maybe they did some mini ones and it was the part that was before my time - I didn't come along until ALL were opening for Less than Jake and Fugazi always had non-script openers I feel like kinda...different times and we're only here because of them

RIP Spot.

Ha. Gay. But cool

Love it....
