I would watch this doc. if i had HBO,i'm sure its interesting.I remember the 99 Woodstock being notorious mostly because of the coverage on MTV and maybe VH1 had some specials about it.And mostly Limp Bizkit basically inciting a riot and getting blamed for the chaos.

yeah they made them aware of the bad shit happening and instead of trying to get people to chill out, Limp Bizkit egged them on.

Also the fires started during the RHCP set. They asked the Red Hot Chili Peppers before their encore to ask the fans to stop setting fires. Not only did they tell the promoters to **** off they played Jimi Hendricks “Fire” song as an encore to be more in the face of the promoters for daring to ask them to calm things down.

There is being against the man. Being a rebel etc. and then there is deliberately making the violence worse among your own fans on purpose.

I kind of remember that about the RHCP,but i hope they didnt realize the severity of the violence going on at the time they played that song.But,who knows,sounds like maybe they did.Maybe old Fred Dirst took too much of the blame,for starting it,but i never did particulary care for him or his band.

That's some bullshit if that's how RHCP were portrayed in the doc.

They told Janie Hendrix that they would play "Fire" as a tribute to Jimi, who, iirc, may have been an iconic performer at the original Woodstock, or something. I remember grampa telling me about Jimi playing the national anthem in a very orthodox and respectful way.

They had obviously planned it, because for the encore break they ALL went and dressed up as Jimi, replete with white fringe leather jackets and headbands, so it wasn't like they decided to play "Fire" at the last second to thumb their noses at anyone.

Sometimes, things have simple explanation if anyone cares to look.

Will quote Eminem here though when I post "mother**** a limp bizkit."

Yes, that’s what the promoter/film says. Nothing in there about a tribute to Hendrix.

Actually the one I just watched on Netflix had two different references to it. I think it might have been Rage that tried to duplicate Hendrix's Fire.

Then Hendrix was actually on the big screen when the crowd was expecting a surprise live performance and started burning shit up the last night.

I wasn't super present in MTV culture in '99 so I'd never really heard much about Woodstock'99 until I watched this. Holy rape festival batman.

Imagine a fest like that happening now.

Really terrible look for that promoter and anyone who helped organize the event or swept the inhumane and sexual assault breeding ground conditions under the rug.

**Buehler445** · 08-08-2022, 06:48 PM

I watched it recently. I was a freshman in high school in 99 so I didn’t really know a damn thing about it.

But holy ****.

Then they did it again with the Fyre Festival. Promotion outruns planning. Seems to be the prevailing approach.

Yeah. That’s cringey as all hell.

FWIW there is another recent documentary on HBO Max

I just watched the three part series on Netflix.

Weird, I had no idea this even happened just like the first one in 69 when I was in Guam.

Hard to believe they let the guitar player from "Red Hot Chili Peppers" play naked with his junk flopping around.
