Television Netflix Trainwreck - Woodstock 99

[My Spot]

The biggest regret of my life so far is 14 year old me not finding a way to go.

 

[NoSmilez]

Rape and poop

 

[Plissken]

My family had one of those cable black boxes so I watched it live as did my brother. You also found out about a lot of bad shit as it was happening.
I thought it was odd they had another Woodstock event so soon after the previous one, but '99 ruined any further ambitions. Don't even know who would be at a Woodstock these days.

Influencers probably lol.

Don’t you know I’m like a chainsaw.
I’ll skin your ass raw.


Those are some deep, deep lyrics.

You know what’s sad? I saw Limp Bizkit at a festival with other bands in 1999. And the band itself is solid. I mean they were really tight and clean live. They were mixed really well too. But holy shit, do their songs suck.

 

[jeff7b9]

I was there.

Did lots of drugs. Got to see some really great sets.

Guster had a really fun set on the second stage.
If I remember correctly I believe Rusted Root also played a great set on the B stage.

I had the fucking time of my life.
I went up with a bunch of my fraternity brothers, so we were well stocked with party favors.

Bumped into my wife, she was there with her childhood best friend, we had been kind of on and off, but the sex/chemistry was always top shelf, so unexpected great sex is always a nice little bonus to elevate a weekend/adventure.

You watch it and realize how much more testosterone was around back then.

This is always a weird thing for me to reconcile as I was a teen in that time period, so I'm not sure if that's how it was for everyone being young and reckless or if it was just the time. I grew up in South Florida skateboarding and there were always fights. It was just a part of the culture. When we moved to the midwest, there were still fights between schools and stuff like that. I then got into music and going to concerts, and we were always just looking for chaos. I remember being super pumped about about being in a riot at college and didn't want to miss it. I look back on a lot of the shit and don't know how we survived. Having kids now, I'm glad that it doesn't seem this way anymore. I think having phones holds everyone accountable where we got away with insanity back then.

 

[Mr.Maelstrom]

For anyone interested, every set in their entirety are free and uncensored on yt. You can watch the escalation in real time from Korn to Rage to limp and Metallica and then RHCP on sundayis when the fires start shits pretty crazy, but cool that I been preserved for posterity

Being a 90s teen myself, I feel ya but I also feel like the pendulum has drastically over corrected.
Today's kids are absolute bitch made pussies.


You.... SHOULD ... experience a little chaos. Men specifically I think benefit from at some point in their life being punched in the face, at some point taking shit a little too far and having to face the payback, it teaches respect and humility.

The current world rewards bad behavior and you get a lot of this "main character syndrome" effect going on where if these people got knocked on their ass from time to time it might check that out of control ego.

 

[HereticBD]

Should of gone with more mellow bands and mixed in a few of the edgy stuff like in 94. 99 was basically all 90s rage music.

Nah, they just got all the headlines. They had a healthy mix of just about everything. They really fucked up with the booking, especially on night 2 where shit started to really pop off. I believe they had three acts in a row that would be more at home at Lilith Fair, and followed them up with Limp Bizcuit, ROTM, and Metallica, LOL. They needed a buffer in between all that hard shit.

Ultimately though, the environment was just horrible. No escape from the blistering heat, because of the worst venue ever conceived for such an event. Woefully understaffed in all areas(and then half of that skeleton crew quit after the first day), insane price gouging, a set up that left no room for sleep(the all night raves were a bad move)...

It was a recipe for disaster.

My personal bro science thinks that technology is a big reason why testosterone has dropped so badly. Instead of being outside, getting dirty, attempting dangerous things and having physical conflicts....kids are just sedentary while looking at screens from the safety of their own home. I don't see it as a good thing at all. Probably why there's so many anxiety riddled low T dudes out there. They never really get to experience those uncomfortable situations that build character and toughness.

Every kid needs to be forced to go to a Woodstock 99 summer camp. Complete with feces throwing and arson.

 

[Mr.Maelstrom]

Probably in the top 3 craziest sets ever filmed, Limp Bizkit

Korn co-headlined the first night

Red hot chili peppers feat. Fleas dick

Rage against the machine

I know a lot of families are like this, but I seriously can't understand it. My kids are constantly busy. I'll just give today, a random Tuesday, as an example:

14 year old: Will have football from roughly 5 PM until 9 PM
11 year old: Weights + basketball from 9:30-11 PM, softball pitching lesson at 4 PM
6 year old: Not as active in summer sports, but we put her in day care to keep her busy. She'll go with me to the Y this evening too.

Yes, they do rot away on their electronics in free time or at night, but they really don't have a ton of that. My neighbors kids are not in any sport, organized activity, or any major hobbies of note. Even when I got out of sports, I was very into skateboarding and guitar/bass so I was always doing shit with measurable progress. It amazes me how many kids have zero interest or passions besides "gaming" or "hanging out".

 

[Fedorgasm]

Rape and poop

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Did anyone go?

All I knew before the doc was watching Korn countless times. Knew nothing about the blatant ripping people off and women being raped, burning the entire place down nightmare.

What a stain it left on the legacy, I really can't believe I knew nothing about the horror till watching the documentary. A Sherbro and I watch pretty much everything doc wise that's in our space so when he told me to watch, I watched.

That was literally Stoned Lemur's claim to fame

Yeah your neighbor's kids are going to be in trouble while yours are more than likely going to turn out just fine.

My old neighbor's kids were the same way. I never saw these kids outside even once throwing the football in the street or anything like that. I talked to him years later and apparently one of his kids was 23, never had a drivers license and did nothing other than go to school and play video games. He would just get a ride from people if he needed to get anywhere. He claimed his kid just had no interest in driving because it wasn't necessary but I'm almost certain it's from anxiety from never really experiencing the outside world growing up.

Part of what helped for the older generation is the 80s and 90s video games weren't as addicting as they are now. Yeah you could spend a decent amount of time playing Mario but it got old and repetitive after a while and eventually you'd want to go outside and hang out with some friends. There was almost never the need to stay up all night playing unless you had just got the game that evening and it was brand new.

Real boomer talk right here.

Every man should be punched in their face once in their life. We deserve it sometimes.

Now you get sued to oblivion so no one ever gets their asses kicked if they deserve it.

I mean, I used to rot away with my electronics often. But I was doing Sambo twice a week, backyard pro wrestling with my friends (kinda dumb and dagerous, but fun and athletic as well), going outside and walking /bike riding/driving around with friends, and like you said, plenty other friends were into skateboarding and stuff as well.
