Social D. Documentary

[Glenn Cole]

Saint of Circumstance and Mike AZ - I agree with you both.... Social D. has always been a lot more than a punk rock band and the documentary should also focus on more band members other than Ness for instance how we got the current line-up today and past interviews with former members as well as the SoCal Kustom Car Culture and the whole Hootenanny bit. Like I said if this was done right with the right people in charge, right interviews and taken it's time on; this could be one of the greatest!

Don't think that way..
I read in an interview this year that the plan still exists but Ness also pointed out that he was "the man" in the past of the band, the guy who did everything, wrote the songs. The others had ideas but the chief work did Michael. That's the reason why he likes to work with Jonny today.

I also think that we don't need a kustom culture documentary but I also keep in mind that a project with alot of interviews could be too expensive.. but hey.. where is Monk?!! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I'm definately looking forward to it. I hope they include and interview all the surviving past members.

If all the fans out there want to help in throwing together and raising the funding I would gladly produce a doc on them the way it's should be done!

It's actually something I've thought about for a long time - the money I'd have to spend on licensing of footage and band related things is just more than I'm able to tackle at this point without outside help in raising the funds.

have i missed something? where has this info come from?

Like you guys said I hope it has detailed info on all the band members not just Mike. For example, whatever happened to Chuck Biscuits? That guy has seemingly dropped off the face of the planet since leaving Social D.

Anyway I also hope to see concert/backstage footage of all the different era's of Social D. Compare how they sound now to how they sounded 25 years ago etc.

<font size="2" face="verdana, arial">I know...where the hell did this news come from!!!? I don't want anyone to be pulling my chain. I was seriously sitting at work last week, thinking to myself, "how the hell has there not been a Social D career retrospective?" Maybe it'll happen...but I won't count on it for 3 or 4 years. Things are taking a little longer these days... [img]wink.gif[/img]

Call Mike, maybe he will give you the same info [img]smile.gif[/img]

Chuck? He still searches the head of Evan Dando, that's all.

Dennis Danell and Brent Liles may be gone, but I hope in the documentary they can get some interviews with Derek O'Brien and John Maurer.

Look up the thread a while back about Joe Escalante. A couple links there where he talks of doing the Social D Documentary.

A main reason why Social D is so cool is the progression of the music. From the early punk days to the more rockabilly influenced albums, and then the more finely tuned band they are today. No point in making a doc if you don't include many that were involved in the progression. Listening to the Mike's commentary on Another State of Mind, I feel that Mike either doesn't remember or doesn't want to share a lot from the early days. He does seem more open and easy going in the Punks Not Dead movie, so maybe if he gets positive feedback from that he'll be more open to opening up for this documentary.
