HOW A VS VIDEO ON WHICH IS THE BETTER WOODSTOCK 99 DOCOM!
THE HBO ONE OR NETFLIX'S TRAINWRECK!
Netflix has a 3-part Documentary already out. It has multiple interviews of organizers (2 from Woodstock '69, and quite a few from Woodstock '99), and other interviews were with concert goers who stayed for all 3 days at Woodstock '99
hey could you guys do Top 10 Skillet songs? They deserve it
NETFLIX DID IT FIRST !
They just uploaded a short documentary about Woodstock 99 & now u guys drop this video, what a coincidence…
I was there. My group left before all the fire and craziness on the last day. I almost passed out from the heat. My friends had to rush me to a hanger where they were playing movies. The crowds were so tight that I couldn't even touch the ground at times. I learned real fast to go stand near a mosh pit just to feel fresh air. It was soo hot with all the bodies packed like that. People were peeing in bottles and then throwing them into the crowds. The prices for food was beyond crazy. People were trading weed for water. My group stayed inside the venue and slept on the tarmac in a pile. It was too much to try to leave. They kept stopping Metallica from playing several times because they were climbing the speaker towers. I left Sunday morning. You could feel it in the air things were going to get really bad. Our trio drove from Florida on a whim that we could get in for free if we worked picking up trash. They trucked us inside... for free. We were supposed to go back to base, but never did. It was impossible to pick up the trash. 1000's of water bottles litter the ground. The trash cans were either distroyed or being used as metal drums. Never been to another venue as crazy as this one.
This whole event was disgusting. The amount of evil throughout was immense. The sexual assaults and deaths.
that were not aliens from other galaxy, that was the society we lived in.
No it wasn't. This was beyond hilarious 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@HARAMBEAKAGEORGEFLOYDwow you’re so edgy and different
I had a great time!
This was just a few months before the first Coachella. If they hadn't botched it so badly they could have easily turned Woodstock into a yearly thing and basically printed money.
So true. They were looking short term instead of long term money
Well what happened was 94 did not make money because half the fans snuck in because it was not fully secure and you could bring in food, water, beer etc easily. So that was what gave them the idea to put it on a base that could not be penetrated. Once the idea of money came in at all the true Woodstock was gone. The original was free and bands played for basically free. It was about “Peace and love” “Ending the war” “Rights for all” and to have a bit of fun along the way. I just don’t see a festival for 250k people to spend multiple days without outside food or drink possible.
In 69 it was perfect, embodied what this festival is supposed to be about…PEACE ! Unlike 99 the owners/promoters capitalized off young people, all for MONEY!! They cared about MONEY, not the festival PEACE!
@@TheBaBaTV Festivals of this magnitude do not accomplish anything in this era. In my mid 20s I went to a rock festival with my ex and it was similar issues, but not as bad. It was also not as long or as many people. It was hot though without much shade. I just had fun, but then you have people that are so divided in so many ways that then you see protest and protest of those protest. The crowd was not on the same page so you saw drunk guys fighting each other. Probably don’t even know why themselves.
@@TheBaBaTV think you should read up a bit more on Woodstock 69. All that free love would be considered sexual assault through todays lenses. Also, Michael Lang, the man that was the promoter of the 69 was the promoter of 99 as well.
I was at Woodstock 99 and it was so horribly managed. Porta potties got emptied maybe once the entire weekend. I had a few friends who lost most of the stuff they brought with them because they were downhill from a bathroom area.
Oh and if I recall correctly, it was $4 for a bottle of WARM water. If you wanted cold i think it was $6-7.
Oh, it was so horribly managed because it looked like something out of the WWE. Woodstock 99 was chaotic and a far out cry from the original 1969 concert which they have hippies and hippie musicians that were associated with the counterculture movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s.
Highway robbery.
@@carolharris2357 That Woodstock 99 concert was chaotic and looked like something out of the WWE. Uncompromising environment conditions at the decommissioned military base, overpriced food and drinks, sexual assaults on women, and all that pure anarchy. Even the violence and vandalism that occurred during Limp Bizkit's rendition of "Break Stuff", and bonfires that lid up during Red Hot Chili Peppers' rendition of Jimi Hendrix's "Fire" were bad enough. Even if it had a diverse list of music artists from James Brown to Willie Nelson, to Sheryl Crow, to DMX, to Alanis Morissette, that Woodstock 99 concert was still bad, chaotic, and a total train wreck. Oh, brother.
How much does it cost for a bottle of H2O at the movie theater or on Broadway? Hey, you wanna go to a once in a generation music event? Bring some money. Get it from your mommy and daddy. for fuck's sake. That was the way you did everything.
i was there too and you are 100% right
I was at Woodstock 99. My best friend and I went, we brought a tent but didn't need it because some members of her family had a camper with AC (packed with food/drinks) at the VIP sites. We were lucky because we were able to eat and sleep out there away from the chaos and riots when those began. So many tents were floating around in the poopy water, some unlucky people woke up in a shit bath. saw a massive crowd of people throwing mud (shit) balls at each other and they were slathered in that noxious mess. It was so obvious that they were playing around it shit, you would have to be an idiot not to notice the porta potties leaking poop sludge. We left not long after the riots started Sunday, it looked like Armageddon. We had a good time due to our situation but the festival really was such a disaster overall.
Like how didn't people know That was shyt is beyond me like wouldn't you smell it!?
You guys were very lucky!
"some unlucky people woke up in a shit bath" lol
@MegaDringus Makes it sound like 15 tents instead of hundreds of people
I remember watching this all unfold on MTV when I was in high school. The Netflix series is better than the HBOMAX one. The organizers, and promoters are idiots. 4 dollars for a bottle of water in the 90’s (is insane) the garbage, showers, drinking water, bathrooms, etc. Greed definitely was the downfall.
Never saw the Netflix one
They went about it all wrong from the start. Complete chaos.
The Netflix one is great because basically you hear from people that had non disclosure agreements I assume until 2019. The reason it took a bit was probably due to Covid. So these were the 20 somethings working the actual event. Video shows higher ups being very rude to them and also not listening to obvious advice. Like to not hand out candles on the last night because this crowd was obviously not about a “cause” or “message” at that point.
I just saw the Netflix, thank God I wasnt even born
@@ender3087 I was turning 9 in a month and I wanted to go with my older brother and his friends so bad haha
The thing that really, really shocked me was the blatant sexual assault going on everywhere.. to think that a 15 or 16 year old girl was raped in a mosh pit, in front of the entire circle of the crowd surrounding the pit.. under age girls were not protected at all.. I feel ashamed for the attending men..
It’s like the docu said, when people get in a crazed group it turns out they are animals under the surface. I hope teen girls are more wary now of how some men behave, probably from hearing stories and seeing garbage behavior like this..
Even more shocking is that anyone would let their minor daughter anywhere near that event.
@@andrewwiggin7433 exactly….& a lot of women voluntarily took their clothes off & walked around testosterone fueled men. What did they think was gonna happen?!
@@darkprince56 u are not gonna turn this around and blame it on woman you fcking freaks
@@darkprince56 taking clothes off is part of Woodstock, the whole idea is peace ☮️ that’s the point. But I agree that the people that listen to Kid Rock and Limp Bizkit are completely different than those who listen to Hendrix . They could’ve had a better lined up to match the vibe of the Woodstock culture.
It's moments like this that make you step back and ask yourself "What the hell were they thinking in the first place?"
So true🙄
They weren't thinking! That's the GD problem!
Lies again? Tiger Trade
They were thinking bucks.
@@TheBaBaTV when are you gonna get it through your brain that 99 was made by the same people
My nephew worked "Security" there! I remember talking to him Sunday after hearing of the fires and such and was relieved to hear he was on his way home by that point! Thank God!
Did he really? I bet that was an experience and a half!!
I’m sure he had a few stories?
Was he letting people in at the gates? Stage security?
Sorry for all the questions, I’m just curious
Ask him if he still has the security T-shirt i want to buy it
@@shesqueeleddope lol, real history!!!!
I honestly knew nothing of this festival until watching the Netflix doc. It's obvious to me that this was the fault of the main organizers. They not only didn't take issues seriously throughout the weekend, but they absolutely refused to take any responsibility after the fact. Two of those main guys seemed like narcissists.
Thank God Lang passed away
That was one of the most stacked line ups for a concert ive ever seen. Wouldve been an absolutely amazing show if it didnt all go to shit.
lol ... no
Rage, chili peppers, and Metallica.. sure
There were a few others like George Clinton I’ve seen at Memphis in may was a great show. But other than that Creed, Alanis Morissette, Kid rock and limp bizkit. No fucking thanks
@@shanksmcnasty6650 bush is good.
@@shanksmcnasty6650 Bush, Ice Cube, Korn, Willie Nelson.. if you don’t like those then you’re gay
Nobody has to like the whole lineup but there’s no denying there were some HUGE names there. Not just for the times, but for all time…nobody in this thread has even mentioned James Brown, Megadeth, Willie Nelson, Rage Against the Machine, Ice Cube, Elvis Costello, Moby, the Roots, Fatboy Slim, Dave Matthews Band, Sheryl Crow, the Offspring, DMX…the list goes on
I was at Woodstock 99, and I can personally say from my perspective that the combination of the heat(It was SOOO hot, like you could literally see the heat waves coming off the concrete), the water being contaminated and undrinkable, and the cost of bottled water that was the ONLY safe drinking water and the cost of food WAS the reason all hell broke loose! I didn't see the Red Hot Chili Peppers, but I can attest that Limp Bizkit WAS definitely the start of the chaos, that is when EVERYTHING and A LOT of people went completely nuts! Personally, I only seen woman being groped while crowd surfing, and you would see guys grab at girls in the crowd, but, there was really nothing anyone could do about it because there was SOOO many people, so I feel like in alot of ways it wasn't like there wasn't good people who wanted to stop the groping from happening, it's just there was nothing you could do because of the size of the crowds and how packed the crowds were during the concerts. Had I seen a woman being raped or sexually assaulted I would've definitely stepped in to stop it! I did see huge orgies going on near the techno stages, but it appeared as though everyone involved in the orgies wanted to be a part of it. I'm from a small town of 13,000 people in central Minnesota, and although I had been to Ozfest(1996-2000), warped tour, and MANY other concerts, I definitely had a case of culture shock at Woodstock, I mean I had never seen naked people walking around in public before..lol..We actually had to leave before the end of the festival do to our bus schedule, and to me it appeared as though it got much much crazier after we left. But yes, Fred Durst himself is definitely responsible for part of the chaos, and after Woodstock I thought he was a complete idiot! Oh, and one last thing, unless you were there it was incomprehensible how many people were there, literally people as far as your eyes could see in every direction jumping up and down and moshing during Limp Bizkit, Korn, Metallica and Rage Against The Machine, it was absolutely mind blowing!
i left after limp bizkit
Sounds like it was hell, I don’t think I would have stayed half of the day.
Durst is the last person to blame lol
Yeah I agree Durst was part of the issue. He was known for being an idiot anyway from what I remember. I was 12 when this happened so didn't go. It was absolutely a combo of factors as to why things went wrong. Another issue is the creators didn't understand the messages and crowds of 90s rock music vs the messages and crowds of 60s rock music. Damned near complete opposites!
@@coldturkey5333right like I will admit, when Jonathan Davis said Fred was the issue, i went w/tht narrative. But ffs the song is called “Break Stuff”, he wasn’t telling the crowd to fuck shit up literally lmao. So that’s just dumb imo to blame one band. I think Jon and Fred made up after this too.
3 people died at Woodstock, compared to the tragic Travis Scott concert that just happened. Everyone seemed to forget about that…. Crazy
it's not about that, Woodstock represent peace and hippies but ironically in Woodstock '99 none of that. It's chaos, violence because committee be greed and just want money. Many facility cut down, in poor conditions and lack in number.
The travis scott concert was planned to be a 2 day fest, yeah right.
It was all planed to be a murder scene on day 1.
And yet both festivals are to blame to poor management.
Actually only 2 people died at Woodstock 99. One person died on the why to the concert 50 miles away. The media still counts it to make things seem worse.
@@marcelinopino56 add the fact that Houston PD not doing anything to stop the show hurts my soul. Knowing that they have shutdown a Travis Scott before in the past as well, i know it's easy to blame travis as he did most the damn planning, but the fact the FUCKING COPS DID NOTHING should be talked about but yet nothing.
You get the call it's a mass casualties event from 911 Call Centers and not one cop goes on stage and cuff him. Nah them fuckers let the show go on for a full HOUR AFTER THE CALL. 8 people died and Houston PD let that shit slide. That's unforgivable
Say whatever you want but that limp bizkit and korn performance was unforgettable.
It's hard to forget how fkn awful they were, right? 🤣
Limp bizkit, ICP, Chili Peppers, Kid Rock, Bush ✌🏼🙌🏼
Woodstock ‘94 always seems to be a forgotten Woodstock that was actually a success like the previous.
It was also at around the same time of summer (mid August) as the original.
They move the festival to late July because the odds of rain were lower, which is ironic since rain and mud seemed to be a part of what made the first two fun.
They talk about it a lil in this documentary.
Well financially it wasnt because of trespassers
It was mentioned in the new documentary, mainly how people got in for free 😅
anything but a “success”
It's clearly the organizers fault. And if you think that Limp Bizkit or any of the artists are to blame, you're absolutely deluded
Most of the blame does indeed fall onto the organizers, they tried so hard to make a profit off this concert, and they should've known better about the lineup they set up. Rosenblatt shared his concerns about the lineup, but Lang and Scher gave him the middle finger. Be that as it may, a good portion of the crowd acted out of hand and possibly made it dangerous to the staff working the event. As far as the musical acts, Fred Durst doesn't deserve all the blame; I think he got caught up in the moment (as well as the music) that he tuned out the destruction that was going on in the crowd (and I won't blame him for that). Still, I think he should've read the situation and done something to relax the audience. As for Red Hot Chili Peppers, I only want to know why Flea decided to perform naked. The Jimi Hendrix tribute was a nice touch. Still, the song they played was a wrong choice (same with the organizers handing out 10,000 candles to a group of angry and pissed-off youths ranging from preteen to graduate college), resulting in the fires and subsequent riot. Still, I don't think they deserve too much flak; it was more so due to bad timing and a multitude of other problems that were ongoing during that weekend.
Bizkits performance was brilliant
Def was the organizers’ fault, but gotta admit that LimpBizkit literally screaming at the already rowdy audience to “BREAK STUFF” didn’t help.
@@lilyraimey3499 Lol, it's the name of their song.
Exactly. Actually provide affordable water and food and clean your toilets and you solved the majority of the issues there.
This base is a couple miles from my house. My math teacher volunteered to work there, and I didn’t go, because I didn’t want to deal with the crowd. She was a nice lady, afterwords she brought it up to me a bunch of times, because she knew I played guitar and wore band shirts. It was probably the craziest thing she’s ever been a part of lol.
Rome ny hell yeah
The fact that this is the only video about Woodstock 99 to have people addressing the Sexual Assaults is telling.
I've watched almost all RUclips videos on it. I never found a single one. So i took upon myself to at least put it out there. I even did so at the clips uploaded by people.
But no, people only talked about the Mayhem, and the exorbitant pricing. And after writing them down, the kinda replies ingot were just disappointing. "Lol, what do u expect is Metal"
"It's sad bro but don't be a snowflake"
"Their tits were out tho"
You'll never be able to imagine the trauma of the parent or sibling of such victims, let alone feel how they felt. Imagine a Father letting his Daughter go see her favourite band with her friends, only to find out she's been Agressively violated by various people continuously.
Imagine the plight of the Woman, who was just out to see here favourite band, but got held down and rp*d in the middle of a crowd while their favourite band is playing. Their whole life's been tainted.
A number of couples and teens, risked sleeping under Trailers and Bulldozers/Trucks, literally to avoid getting violated.
The one that chilled me the most was how one organiser saw a Dude coming out of the Ambulance while tying his shorts, with a Teen in the carriage being transported for Exhaustion/Stroke. People weren't safe in Ambulances even.
I think Woodstock 99 as a whole was basically 9/11 of the music world. It's one in a lifetime event, because everything changes after it happens.
It showed the world that for those 3 days, America turned even more unsafe than the most Unlawful of the 3rd world countries in the World. It showed the world that deep down, America is crumbling from within.
Hush
Thanks for commenting on it, that should be addressed as the worst thing to come out of the event, like it is.
This was just a reflection of the violence that America has sown into the country
Thank you. It was vile what they did. Sad to know people's true nature, to violate others.
@@hollowsgongetchu4709 choke
"They took mudbaths, not knowing they were slathering themselves in human waste." Um--they couldn't smell that?
On the Netflix documentary a group of people left early in day 3 and when Carlson Daly asked why they were leaving one of the kids said “it stinks in there”.
True. But remember that they were also high as heck 🤢🤮
I turned 9 that summer and wanted to go so bad because I was so into music. The Offspring would have probably been at the top of my list. Well my parents did not let me go which was probably for the best. The next summer in 2000 I got to see STP open for The Red Hot Chili Peppers with my older brother that was 17. That was awesome
I was 12 when this happened and started getting into this type of music. But unfortunately (but in a way very fortunate because of what all went down) I wasn't able to go due to the age at the time and my parents were not thrilled with me listening to that type of music back then (Limp Bizkit, Korn, ICP, etc) 🤣🤣🤣
I used to know some people who attended in 99.
Their stories were scary!
Tell us!
Barber 😅😅😅
How much for the haircut?
The "untold" story that heavily features clips from multiple documentaries that previously told the story.
Good point. This story was “told” one day after it happened, as I remember seeing it all over the news.
Excuse me how dare you call someone out for their bullshit
Well that is true I believe this was the first not on an MTV or VH1 type platform. It was able to go much more indebth not being on basic cable. It was also after the nondisclosure agreements turned 20 and the staff was free to disclose more. It's a 3 episode series that is very well done and goes much deeper.
There is a documentary just about the sexual assaults alone from Woodstock 99. The organizers of Woodstock 99 should be in prison.
One of em is dead Sadly its not john scher
Is there really I watched the Netflix one and HBO one what this documentary that you’re talking about
I watched both, the HBO went in much deeper about the sexual assaults and rapes, the Netflix blushed over this. That asshat of a promoter in both down played and victim shamed to the extreme. Going as far to say if you go topless, that did you expect or some BS like that.
@@jenniferbond7073 Not to sound rude or sexist in any way, but I agree that women shouldn't be blamed whenever they're sexually assaulted (same applies to men), but the environment they were in encouraged that sort of behavior. Of course, not all females were doing so, but some flashed their breasts, had their tops off or were simply full-on nude during that weekend. Plus, with all the alcohol and drugs going around (which is somewhat of a guarantee at any public event with little or no security), the situation worsened as many concertgoers weren't functioning with a clear head. I will say that the guys were animals, no doubt about it; I would want each of them to be physically castrated because those types of guys shouldn't be breeding, ever. I get that Woodstock '99 was supposed to be a fun concert (with a small discussion on social issues), but it wasn't fun (while violence and sexual assault isn't good, people have died there). Some interviewees who attended the concert said it was the best part of their life. They would go back if another Woodstock happened again (that's their opinion, and I'm willing to accept that, I was born about 6 months before that concert, so I can't judge them for their want to go back). Still, if I was given the opportunity to visit Woodstock '99, it would be a firm no, but back on topic. I'm all for women having a great time like everyone else, but there's always a need to be safe while having fun, so it would've been safer to stay covered. Of course, the organizers are to blame for not having adequate security to handle the crowd, but when you have a mob consisting of young males (some who are ranging from buzzed to drunk or high), and there's either a half-naked or nude female in front of them, what do you think is going to happen? But Woodstock '99 showed that our society has a long way to go when treating other marginalized groups.
@@greatestever2560 yeah, Michael Lang is dead now
This is my worst nightmare I would never ever go to a festival! Never seen it as fun or appealing.
Chump
Both Woodstock 99 docs are good (the Hulu one and the Netflix one). I remember thinking it was bad when I was a kid watching it on TV, but wow it was so much worse than I remember. Some of the angst might have been bled off by a better line up, because like they say in the Fyre docs, no one remembers that lots of shit went down in the first Woodstock either because the people were mostly chill. But not having access to affordable food and water and not having a shaded place to rest is what really killed it, IMO. Go to any event, and if you're hot, hungry, and thirsty, people are going to get angry fast. I'm shocked it took them 3 days to riot with 4 dollar water in 99. Probably the drugs kept them chill.
Wait… there’s a HULU one?????
*HBO max
The last day a lot of the venders had run out of food and water so the ones that still had water charged 12$ for a bottle.
The organizers tried to downplay everything and it was infuriating
Watching them being interviewed for both the Netflix and HBO documentaries I really wanted to smack them.. they were so delusional and took 0 Accountability for what went down. One of the organizers I think the last name was Scher ( I don’t remember the first name).. when being asked about the numerous sexual assaults that occurred there actually said ( and I’m paraphrasing here).. “ well we certainly don’t condone it but a lot of these girls were walking around naked or topless so what did they think was gonna happen?”.. I wanted to scream .. completely disgusting …
Yeah, the "money guy"- not the curly haired guy who organised the original Woodstock- he was just odious. The way he blamed it all on "a few bad apples" and not on the fact that he cared more about cost cutting and profit was DISGUSTING- he exploited the artists, the audience, the festival, hell- the entire POINT- of Woodstock to make more money...the fact that they took people's bottled water away- but not the copious amounts of free flowing drugs!!- says a LOT....lol I was a 90s hippy chick, I would have LOVED to have been there- but after learning that the porterpotties weren't being attended, that there was little to no free water, security or first aid- lol burning everything down with Jimi Hendrix playing in the background just sounds like the right thing to do😂😂🤷♀️
As a GenX'er I would have been surprised if Woodstock 99 had been less of a disaster. I was at the first Lolapaloosa at Pine Knob in Detroit and people were tearing up the grass and starting food fights early in the day and behaving so badly that Souxie Soux was scolding people for their behavior during her set. I missed Jane's Addiction because by the time they came on the smoke from bonfires made of styrofoam coolers was so thick I couldn't see the stage or breathe. GenX could behave horribly on a regular basis totally without self awareness or remorse.
oh i’m from detroit and didn’t know anything about lolla being at pine knob! you just gave me my research rabbit hole for tomorrow!
For real. I’m a millennial and I was watching this documentary in complete awe, lol. But Gen X defined the 90s. It was still great.
Omg I remember that shit!!! I’m
Also from Detroit.
Keep in mind the teens at this concert were technically all millenials
@@pex3 Yep, a lot of early Gen X-ers had aged out of youth culture by 1999. The target audience for Woodstock 99 was late Gen X and early Millennials.
Even though it was a total mess I bet it was awesome to be there!!!
The lineup was sick!!
I was recovering from spinal surgery that summer and watched a lot of it on much music. As a not so angsty 15 year old, I thought nothing of it. Now, I see it is a disaster.
Best 3 days of my life until the riots started. I was 29 so I had some money to buy overpriced water and food. Besides my face blistering due to my stupidity of not using sun screen and my tent being ransacked Sunday night, I had a blast!! What a shame that a minority of the crowd ruined it for the rest of us
I don’t watch that many documentarys, but this one really caught my eye. one thing I would say is shocking is when they show the 18 wheeler trucks catching on fire, and exploding one by one. When I saw that, I was like “This. is. insane!”
Those were the production trucks. Seeing that PA delay tower being shoved over was scary. Those towers are designed to NOT fall over so it was an incredibly aggressive effort. 😰
I was so worried about my nephew! He always seemed to know when the time to get out was.
the only think that disturb me is when being sexually assaulted with no one to turn to. so a bunch of rich people had their stuff burned down. not even as important as the lives that were damaged or the kid the died from heat stroke. how could they not be prepared fo that in 100 degree temperature
I remember that vividly after came back from a road trip and saw it on mtv news and my local news and I saw that documentary and man no words. Good job Netflix
that Netflix documentary was dope. "I didn't realize Fred Durst was such an asshole." famous last words.
I know two women that were at the original event, both say it could never be replicated and after seeing all the attempts... they were right!
Can't wait for Woodstock '29!
I’m down
Concert organizers: Lets show the new generation what woodstock is all about: Peace, love, respect and great music
Also concert organizers: *hires the most aggressive bands in existence, uses military base as a location, provides zero accommodations*
‘99 was a GREAT year I had no idea THIS was the outcome at woodstock it wasn’t even talked about that much. Not that I remember. The documentary was wild. And the girl getting s3xully assaulted backstage was so effed up.
my grandpa met my grandmother on his way home from the first Woodstock
I remember being 6 and watching this and it was a moment I won’t ever forget
It was the corporate greed mixing with the angst people were feeling at the time.
My aunt says the reason she's against a lot of the animalistic criminal behavior we see today is because she saw it emerging in her own generation and wanted nothing to do with it.
Loved the music but hated a lot of the attitude of the times.
Very perspective - aunts eyes 👀
Woodstock 99 was chaotic and full of bands from the era of the Seattle sound of grunge rock music of the 1990s. This was a far out cry from the 1969 concert which they have hippies and hippie musicians that were associated with the counterculture movement of the late 1960s and the early 1970s.
Against the animalistic criminal behavior? Could you tell me why someone would be for the animalistic criminal behavior?
@@lk8300 That's what I thought as well. So it was okay at some point or it took her that long to realize certain behavior is wrong.
@@lk8300 you are not competent for the grown-ups talk.
We’re living in the Woodstock 1999 prices times now
...arrogance, heat, entitlement, drugs, alcohol, all kind of abuses left and right.
@@Dzanarika1 sounds like a fun time 👍 👌🔥🔥🔥🎆🎆💊💊🍻🍻 ( just so you know that's a joke you know because you can't really express your self as well through massages as through talking face to face can't really be sarcastic when typing something out)
My comment is meant to be understood by intelligent people, sorry.
I watched most of the weekend of Woodstock '99, even on TV I was able to visibly see how rowdy the crowd was and even on Saturday I called it out that they were eventually going to topple the sound tower and set stuff on fire, which then did happen. One of the MTV reporters there was talking about the bathroom section and there was shit and mud all over, I couldn't believe what I saw.
I really wanna watch this documentary, it’s interesting how they really blamed like nu-metal and limp bizkit and Fred Durst for its downfall, but they didn’t factor in that it was hot, with no shade, no water (unless you wanted to pay like 4 dollars for a bottle of water same with food) or that they gave people there candles and matches. I have this on my watch list
oh that documentary will piss you off. saying the overpricing was justified and the women asked to be assaulted cause they took off their clothes
Yeah, but, Fred Durst SHOULD get blamed for something. He's the King of the Talentless Pricks.
They did talk about the water problem though
@@alicedelgado955 I mean...
They reached a conclusion that i very much agree with and its actually something we see with our nation as a whole.
When you look at Woodstock '69 and '94, they had those same problems as 99 but you just didnt see the chaos and violence. What did seem to be the biggest factor was the musical choices and the audience type that was attracted to those musical choices.
'69 set the bar. A gathering of the hippies to practice art, peace, love and rock and roll. The focus was on loving one another and creative people sharing that creativity. Every aspect of the event, reflected these ideals and goals.
'94 was very much its modern (at the time) carbon copy. This was the era of acid jazz, experimental folk, punk, conscious hip hop, etc. and of course the headlining genera that of 93/94 that the vast majority of people identified with, "Grunge", which was a genera spawned by the children of 60s California hippies and 70s Seattle punks. Musically it was more along the lines of punk/metal but lyrically and personally, these were environmental and animal activists, vegetarians, feminists, anti-war, anti-violence and anti-authority with art and creativity being the most important things to them. The people who attended were was close to the 69 hippies as it got.
'99, to start things off, the venue was a closed down air force base with four walls. This alone is such a great reflection of the times, people, country and well, the event. Quite the contrast to the open fields of nature that we saw with '69 and '94.
The music, well the music was as billboard top 100, frat party, generic corporate bullshit as it got. There were no themes, no ideals, little focus on art and creativity, etc. Because of this complete lack of artistic vision, the people it attracted were the people who lacked artist vision. The frat boys in business school. In fact, we can just sum it like that. It attracted mostly frat boy types and became one big frat party. They didnt care about the music, they didnt care about the art, they didnt care about caring for people. They wanted to mosh to the new brand of "nu-metal" and then they wanted to get women drunk to take advantage of them.
Is "nu-metal" itself to blame here?
No absolutely not. The people are to blame. You probably could have removed all the "nu metal" acts and we still would have seen what we did. Because again, it was the people, it was the audience attracted to the void that is having zero creativity and only listening to popular music while they studied police dispatch codes to pass their the academy.
Hell, Woodstock '99 might as well be considered the soundtrack to the first years of a full blown fascist America. The irony of all of this... of the hippies creating woodstock to fight a quickly becoming fascist America, while being laughed at and not taken seriously and then '99 being the christening of fascist America, is unmatched.
Woah, I literally just finished it about 30min ago...great documentary.
"Giving fire to people who are 3 days in and have been treated like animals"? You mean people ACTING like animals? It amazes me that in reality animals wouldn't even act that way.
I watched the documentary last week….it was so interesting! I did not even know that happened.
People are blaming Limp Bizkit for some reason but back in the 90s to 2000s music itself is raging genre!
It's all in the lyrics..... Look at what they were singing about in the 60's and look at what they were singing about in the 90's I mean it was peace and love back in the 60's but it turned into destruction and hate in the 90's. The people at the original Woodstock dealt with heat and not enough of everything but they didn't lose their minds
very true
that’s like using the excuse that kids who play video games will grow up to be gang bangers and murderers. that’s not how it works. these kids were f’d on drugs and pissed off. idk about you, but when i hear “break stuff” by limp bizkit, i just head bang, not burn my house down.
@@mercedeskosha968 yeah if your at home or driving or whatever you might just headbang but if you were in a crowd and that crowd fueled your anger and you looked around and see well they are getting away with this and that you just might let a little more go and a little more go until you have crossed the line, that's exactly what happened here. There were drugs at the 69 Woodstock I mean they announced it from the stage that there was bad acid going around so there were drugs there as well. It's completely different when it comes to video games but if the right parents are not around....... Music is so much more than just music and music has so much more influence than what you think. When you listen to LB you want to headbang right? But it doesn't have an influence on you? See it?
True. What do you expect when you book cum stains like Limp Bizkit?
i remember watching woodstock 99 on vcd and feeling like i was there having fun lol. My favourites are Lit, Chemical Bros, Bush, The Offspring, Alanis, RHCP and G. Love.
People looked better back in 1999, based on how the concert goers looked in this archive footage from 99, given they were a bit crazed from the circumstances.
It's because contouring and instagram filters weren't a thing yet. I can't take Tic Tok because everyone's face looks like uncanny valley renderings of humans from late 90's and early 2000's computer animation demo reels.
Everybody at the time were like: “Let’s party harder than ever!!!! 🤟”
Now everybody is like: “OOOOPS!🫢”
Its amazing how we are our own worst enemy, this is sad 😔
If you are a woodstock 99 dork, for the deep deep cuts checkout podcast 99. They've been going over it for years, act by act and have survivor stories. It's great.
Thanks!
Checking it out now!
@New World Lord awesome! I'd suggest watching in order.
It's really unfortunate Woodstock '19 never happened. But I guess events like Woodstock '99 are party to blame for that.
I would have loved a Woodstock 19 especially the 50 year anniversary but with all the fentanyl can you imagine the body bags it would look like Vietnam
its interesting how destructive us humans can be when we have a motive that angers us
Just imagine Woodstock 99, but on a global scale
@@s3ra9h1m that is where we are
Underneath our socialization, we are animals. When ppl are in peril you see their true, base nature.
@@SharonBoo0305 I remember watching snakes on a Plane when I was kid the snakes never bothered me the scene when the people got up ran and we're tr trampling people and pushing people over on the off the thing and one guy stabbed right though the chest it freaked me out thinking that when it comes to life and death we do not heisted killing others to live and also humans r taught to look after each other so to see a 180 like that scarred me for life
I had almost forgotten about all the frosted tips of the 90’s.
Are we all just going to forget Woodstock’94? I still have the Pepsi can that says…Woodstock’94 it has a bird on it!!
I remember Woodstock 94! I was 19, and it was totally awesome.
This event needs to be the example for what NOT to, if someone wants to start a new one
*** should create a poll on how many ppl still watch MTV
I was there and it was definitely an experience I will never forget
Funny how organizers geared the festival toward the very people they blame. The organizers weren't above taking as much money as they could from "the lunatic fringe".
I literally just watched the documentary last night. pretty wild shit!
Woodstock was ENTIRELY on the organizers. People blame the bands, but the bands were just doing what they should be doing. "Break Stuff" is the name of the song for Limp Bizkit, that doesn't mean FULL GROWN ADULTS should take that seriously. Rock and metal is a lineup set for disaster when the organization of the show is already horrible. This was ALL the organizers.
Definitely was there got tons of pictures! Absolutely a great time! Memories
We love to think of ourselves as so far removed from animals, and in many ways we are. But man, stuff like this proves that those base savage instincts are still sitting in the back of our heads.
I say this ALL THE TIME.. how dare we use terms like civilized to describe human beings. No one is above this behavior. I def wouldhve been outta there after the 1st day.i got good instincts
Yeah with the grapists
Limp Bizkit should not be blamed here. I really hate how those documentaries that blame it to Fred Durst. Yes he said let out negative and break stuff but that's how and what the song is all about. It should not be taken seriously.
Even Metallica mentioned that the festival is a total chaos from the start
I was there at 13 yrs of age bc my older brother was only allowed to spend the weeknend (and so parents thought) at his friends if he brought me with him, so he bit the bullet and had to take me along not knowing the road trip was gonna end up there and boy what a fkn experience. I never told me parents afraid my brother would kick my ass 😂
I looked up "Trench Mouth" after that woman's interview about drinking the water at Woodstock 99. BLECHHH! Disgusting! 🤣
One of the two who died from the heat was like 80+ with a heart condition. I’m just amazed more people didn’t die.
Love it how the anti capitalism rage against the machine performed at a classic capitalist festival
Anything for a dollar
The kids of 99 got sick of hearing about Woodstock representing peace, love & harmony when that's not how kids felt at the time. Certainly since at the same time ur price gouging everything to the tenth degree. These kids parents started Woodstock and the 90s generation killed it.
I was there with 3 other friends!! From Deep South Texas 1,900 miles away! It was a blast and a great experience! We where only 18 at that time!
You're from Rio grande valley?
@@redrocket604 1.5 hours north of the Valley!
Untold story? I’ve watched 2 different new documentaries on Woodstock ‘99 this week.
Watch Mojo,,, show up late to the party.
To me the Netflix one is better-the images speak for themselves with that one
It was horribly managed. It's crazy to think they first charged $4 for a bottle of water. Then it jumped up to $12. I honestly can't blame them for tearing the vendors down. Not to mention they wanted $50 - $100 for a t shirt.
Great episode. You should do at least 2 or 3 extra parts on woodstock'99 since it was a 3 day festival. I want to hear more about this greed festival. They overcharged everyone at the show. $7.00 for water not worth it.
There's a 3 episode documentary on Netflix and a HBO movie
Thats happening in coachella
Consider the drugs. There’s a huge difference between weed/acid and meth/crack.
I also remember it being on MTV I was only 8 at this time. The amount of people didn’t seem real….the Netflix series I could feel the energy through my 📺 screen and I could only have wished to have been there 🤔 Something I hope to experience one day! With better pricing/planning/all of the above lol
Does anyone else feel like they've just arrived home when she says, "Welcome to Watch Mojo."
Most big music shows are a rip off now days. Especially with tickets, food and drinks . I rally go now.
I started going to my friend's band's shows just because they were my friend's bands, but I have such a better time paying a $5-15 cover for three bands of wildly varying quality who are just happy you showed up in a small club than I do going to a big festival that I hardly go anymore either. That and I'm old. So old.
Back in the day, @ 72-77, tickets were @ $5.50. We are talking Led Zepplin, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath etc.. As a young teen, I had to hustle to get that. ( money went on weed). Half the time we snuck into the concerts. The 70s was a golden era.
Fred Durst knew exactly what he was doing when he started playing "Break Stuff"... The crowd was already wild and violent and that performance you can tell Fred was antagonizing and trying to get the crowd to really explode... Which they did
In 69 it was perfect, embodied what this festival is supposed to be about…PEACE ! Unlike 99 the owners/promoters capitalized off young people, all for MONEY!! They cared about MONEY, not the festival PEACE!
It wasn’t his fault AT ALL ! That’s HIS performance type ! It’s the promoters who booked the artist fault… they didn’t care. Woodstock is supposed to be PEACE !
@@TheBaBaTV saying "that's his performance style" doesn't excuse his actions, like I said he KNEW EXACTLY what he was doing when he started playing Break Stuff and even praised the crowd for causing destruction
The promoters are not innocent at all, but when Fred Durst was in a position to try and quell the crowd, he instead antagonized them
Durst is to blame the same as the promoters
Yeah, that’s literally his job as a frontman. To put on the best show as possible for their fans. The fact that he played break stuff is to be expected, as it was a huge hit of theirs at the time.
@@Heavymetallord1 you're name is "Heavymetallord1" and you're blaming Limp Bizkit for putting on a Limp Bizkit concert??? Lmfao you're hilarious...they gave the people what they wanted
My cousin brother was in woodstock 1999. He was a crew member.
He once said that it was like a riot had broken
I was at Woodstock 99 I was front row for Korn and limp bizkit where I broke my arm during break stuff
So you broke stuff?
@@FLAVCO yeah 😎
@@jackyboi8832 how'd you break it?
@@jameswoll in the pit got pushed to hard and fell down awkwardly on it
The American youth in 99 was very violent and disrespectful. Society was darker in the late 90s and this concert showed it. Not too mention the music in 99 was very aggressive and violent aswell.
Then you had all those young men who also watched WWF at the time when StoneCold Steve Austin and DX saying Suck It
You can always count on someone else to ruin things for you and everyone else..
R.I.P. Woodstock festivals
Not in Poland, here Woodstock lives forever, every year! No violence and hostility, no tickets - just peace, love and music!
@@papaversomniferum2365 is the one in Poland bigger than Pink Pop?
@@cranberriesgirlhype8292 The biggest amount off people during Polish Woodstock festival mesured from 200k to 600k people. I dunno how many people attend to Pink Pop, never heard about this gig. Still - It's not about amount of ppl, it's about how these people interact with eachother. And Poland is well known for I'ts slavic hospitality ;)
@@papaversomniferum2365 That's awesome there's that insane amount of people there and no mishaps! You guys seem like a wonderful people for sure.
@@papaversomniferum2365 Pink Pop is in the Netherlands
We made it thru security with 3 big ice chests, 1 full of water 1 booze and the other food. Had to buy a 30$ bag of ice with a 100 and got 170 in change. Up until the riots it was a blast but sweet Jesus that shit got scary af. And if I recall the water was 6$ for a bottle
this shit was the perfect storm, the girls gone wild generation, death of kobain, pissed off at the system. Then with fight club coming in from right field, there were just so many cultural influences enablibng that exact combionation of behaviors from the respective groups...From the organizers to the fans. Its just wild to think about.
I was there and had a wonderful time! Just graduated high school and this was my first concert experience. I am seen in the doc for a second!!!
That's awesome! Hopefully not one covered in "mud" 😅
Woodstock was about peace, love, and music. Limp Bizkit and many of the other bands were about rage, aggression, and anarchy....and you wonder what went wrong...duh!
I don’t think people should blame RHCP since the family of Hendrix asked them to play fire
@keenanspletstoser2905 After a fire had already broken out?
I like music. I like live music. I have no interest in attending crazy ass large festivals like this.
I know they were drunk and high but how can you not know the mud you’re rolling in right outside of the potties isn’t mud? You have to have a mindset of an animal not to care.
Have you ever tried shrooms or lcd etc. I was trying to swim across grass on that sh’t 😂
@@s3ra9h1m ha. No never anything like that. Alcohol has always been my go to.
Please do a video on The Fyre Festival, I'd love to hear Watchmojo's take on that Disaster.
They did.
@@dubuqueareabaseballpodcast1726 Oh never mind.
@@introvertsrock9843 OK never mind.
I had a friend back in 99 that absolutely loved Limp Bizkit. Notice how I said had.
So I’m guessing they either died? Or did something so atrocious there you wouldn’t class them a friend anymore?
@@WillHoll4399 No, I stopped being their friend cause they liked Limp Bizkit, 😂.
Hell of a way to end the 90s amirite 🤘🏻😏🔥🔥🔥🔥
I remember that we called it greedstock I was only 18 at the time so I didn't get a chance to go but I didn't live but maybe an hour and a half drive from there
U couldn't go at 18???
@@jcc3333I was still living with my parents and they wouldn't let me
I really don't get why do make their events during the summer where it is open spaced and hot? Couldn't they just do it in the Spring or Fall?
Exactly. I went to Rockville last year cause it was in November and the weather was awesome. Then this year they moved it to May.... May in Daytona... Hot and Rainy. Shows were cancelled to storms. They messed up. They need to move it back to November.
That’s the thing about “Iconic (insert Event Here)”.
You don’t know if something is “Iconic” until afterward and you can’t guarantee if it will or not.
That’s one of the crazy things these days. People WANT to be a part of something legendary, epic, Iconic.
So they try and create something iconic.
Many will say and do almost anything just to try and be apart of something big that they can brag and boast about anything all the time and everything, anywhere.
And that is why so many things (real movements and events), begin to lose legitimacy. Just because people want to be a part of something “Iconic”.
Most of the time things don’t end up Iconic. They end up “Pathetic” instead.
But when things do fall flat. That’s what your cousin Jimmy, from BOS-ton is for! 😀
Thanks for indulging me!!
Cheers everybody. 🇨🇦
This was just a 10 min cole note version of the Netflix special... i was hoping to hear something about everything else that happened. Why is nobody even talking about how rage against the machine lit the stage on fire?
Woodstock ‘69: Peace and love
Woodstock ‘99: rage and violence
Peace and Love to Hate and Violence, this is what happens when it stops being about the music and more about profit
It was never ever about music but about controlling the masses!
I was there I had one hell of a time from start to finish even the riots were the shit never had a problem. However I m from the south the heat was not an issue for me. I also prepared by taking plenty of money. I mean I saved up for at least 6 months. 3 days of peace pot and microdot one night of compleat anarchy what more can you ask for
peace.. don't care about rich people's stuff getting torched. but cannot put aside the women who were assaulted... and where the hell is Me too on this?
