Henry Rollins, Jack Grisham, Jerry Roach, David Bowie, Iggy PopClockwork Orange County

some great music, Ideas, and bands that started the Ripple from the West to the rest of the world along with the Midwest , and east coast all eventually erupting into an angry youth who where sick of thinking the entire planet was about to be blown to bits by some old leader with a gender on the button , this is a record of a youth movement with a flavor all its own.. it may just be one small brush stroke of the big picture,.. but it is of the most color and texture...

It could of used some better editing, but the facts fairly straight forward.

Man, this was a great doc about punk in Orange County. I had family living in Costa Mesa and I would stay with them and my cousin was a full on punker. In fact the cops brought him home after a show back in the 80's and I will never forget how cool I thought that was and how kick ass he looked. After that I started listening to punk, went to shows and moved to So Cal. I still go and see these exact same bands in this documentary play today. And, i'm even buddies with some of them because I have been to so many of their shows. This is a great movie and I will be watching it again. Punk will never die!

Fairly entertaining documentary. Nowhere near enough music, oh well. This is on youtube as We Were Feared and is missing the footage with Jack Grisham. The Jack interview bits reminded me of a messed up old home video. They were clippy, poorly shot, with terrible audio. And like the older review said, it's rehashed stuff from the Battle for Cuckoo's Nest old doc, which is also on youtube. But hey, it's cheap and I'm not that fussy.

If only there were more clubs like these around today...

I live in Orange County and I found this little documentary interesting. The OC is a conservative place and was especially so in the 70's and 80's so this club was definitely unique and this documentary makes that point clear. Lots of interviews and the owners himself weighs in a lot. I liked this, recommended.

I really enjoyed Clockwork Orange County, but as usual with music docs, TOO MANY TALKING HEADS, not enough music, and the few concert clips are often repeated. I'm sure the doc was done on a shoestring (there may be rights issues), but the finished product is more sociology than musicology: the unsparing document of a club that defied its geographical situation, and its quirky hangers-on.

This was really interesting! It's mostly about them punks at the Cuckoo's Nest. And an interview and backstory of Pat Brown! All your OC punker favorites are here. You should totally get this if you're into punk rock and/or So Cal history.
