Wish I was there
I started getting into punk in 1982 (i.e. the year after the Cuckoo's Nest was shut down,) but back then it was mostly about hanging out in my best friend's bedroom listening to records and reading Flipside. We were only 13 and left to our own devices; actually going out to gigs was a little beyond us. Too bad, we were born and bred in Fullerton and probably could have had a swell time at the Galaxy. Anyway, eventually I did start going to gigs and mixing it up and meeting punks who had been in the scene for years. One thing almost all of these upper classmen had in common was great stories about the Cuckoo's Nest, all of the classic hardcore bands, all of the mayhem and f***ing s*** up that went on, getting messed with by cops and rednecks from the bar next door, how they personally knew *The* Pat Brown... it always made me wish I was a few years older. So with those memories in mind, this documentary is perfect for me. I can almost pretend I was there.
There are some...
Best punk documentary out there
This movie is an awesome look back into my teenage years. Im interviewed in the movie 3 times. I grew up at the cookoos nest and have the best memories of the place. Seen just about any band that you can think of from 1979-1982.Kudos to Jerry Roach for providing an outlet for our angst. Hell slam dancing was invented at the nest. Without the cookoos nest there would have been no orange county punk scene. Thank you Jerry Roach.
Arrived fast but just an ok movie
The movie was alright and just took alot of the footage from the previous documentary Urban Struggle. Also the audio was kinda messed up during the interviews with Jack Grisham.
