The band names printed on the cover is a bit misleading.
If you're looking for material on the bands that are printed on the cover of this DVD, be prepared to be a bit disappointed. The focus is more on some bands from the late 70's who you have probably have never heard of. You don't get much on the bands printed on the cover. That being said, it still has a few points of interest. Like how things began in the LA scene. But you only need about 5 or 10 minutes for that. You get a quick word from an artist you recognize here and there. But if you're a fan of the 80's bands, you're not really going to recognize most of the people being interviewed. Almost no footage either. Just old pictures.

Great window into the LA club scene of yesteryear.
AMAZING series. If you're only able to watch a documentary with lush production and HD shots, this series isn't for you. Yes, its low budget and some of the footage is low quality but what would you really expect from amateur video footage from 1975-1982? If you dug the LA scene and wanted to know lots more about different bands of that club scene and hear about the early days of the bands that "made it", this is for you. All four discs are great. My only complaint is that all could have fit on one blue ray or at most 2 DVDs. Having to buy 4 separate packages was lame.

Way too much talk and not enough rock
Way too much talk, and not enough ROCK ! It seemed interesting and I invited a bunch of guys over to watch it. Everyone in the room agreed it was way to much talk, and not enough rock. I was hoping to see more live footage, most of what I saw was guys re-living the glory daze, talking about how great it was. It was great, but what I really wanted more rock and roll.

FINALLY THE TRUE STORY !!!!
FINALLY the true story of the L.A. Hard Rock And Metal scene told by the people who lived it .... Also on a personal note its nice to Finally wash the bad taste in my mouth left all those years ago by that Hatchet Job Decline of The western civilization part II the metal years. which did nothing but kill the whole scene ... Only my personal view.... BUY THESE FILMS !!!! You will not be Disappointed .. AAAA+++ 10 stars !!!

and was disappointed in both
I bought both Parts 1 & 2, and was disappointed in both, it's basically a guy who was on the seen in the early days that got someother guys who were on the seen, most of which never made it any further than the local clubs, and they told some stories about the good old days on camera.there was some interesting stuff about how the scene started, but they could have probably condensed all the interesting stuff down to about twenty minutes. very boring, it dragged a lot. The covers of the discs are misleading, The production is kind of Amateur, low budget.I do not recommend these discs, save your money.

OK but wheres the music?
The interviews on this DVD are interesting (if a bit jumbled up) and tell us a lot about the early days on the strip. However, there is a lack of footage of any of the bands live or in conversation at the time and almost no actual music from the bands to accompany the interviews. This lets it down considerably and it goes from what could have been great to a very average documentary.
