It’s Whole Steel Jackie. Tonight We’ve got filmmaker extraordinaire, Penelope Spheeris on the show with us. I’m really glad to have you on the show. Longtime fan of your work. Obviously, you filmed the Ozzfest 99 documentary We Sold Our Souls for Rock N Roll which is making it to screens and also directed the Decline that is marvelous of Civilization at the same time. Penelope, the facts about steel tradition that caused it to be these an amazing topic that it’s kind of hardcore and aggressive and helps me get my anger out and I like to watch all the other pissed off people have fun.
You’re for you to film?
I guess probably just the fact uniting all of the pissed off people together?
Yeah. I don’t know. It sounds like something that happened in Washington D.C. but go on.
Not Only did you examine Ozzfest 99, but you’re also known for The Decline of Western Civilization, which examined metal culture at the final
If we’re talking about similarities and differences between the Decline that is first next decrease, then Ozzfest 99 which is sometimes called We supplied Our Souls for stone N Roll, I’m gonna state the similarity is the fact that I’ve observed each and every generation of teens and youthful 20s all have actually that exact same style of power that they must escape and exhibit and function with and that is what I’ve observed throughout the years is the fact that each generation features that.
And I assume the distinctions, the decrease component to your steel many years was actually a fluffier that is little a little softer than, you know, Decline I or We Sold our Souls and that was just what was going on at the time here in L.A. was that hair metal thing, you know? I like to document behavior that is human you will need to decide exactly why men and women carry out precisely what the hell they are doing, and that is exactly what will get me personally heading right after which i take advantage of songs while the backdrop.It’s interesting within the movie that Rob Zombie pointed out part that is being of tour instead of being at Woodstock ’99. Heavy music was definitely dominating the world and in the case of Woodstock ’99, it was sometimes portrayed in a light that is negative. The thing that was the knowledge about Ozzfest ’99 and just how will you mirror I did this film, we started shooting in the summer of ’99 and I went out on it now 20 plus years removed from that event?
Well, when. We had our tour that is own shuttle. We’d our very own crew that is six-person I went out on the road with
Sharon (Osbourne)
driving the bus. No, she wasn’t driving the bus. Sharon Osbourne was leading the path. Let’s put it that way and we went to about 20 cities and in the film 10 bands every and it was kind of like the experience of a lifetime night. Then again we done the slice. There’s very cuts that are many that movie, Jackie. It’s like it’s just unbelievable.
Here’s the thing as it’s my own work, but it really does and I’m just. I can’t believe when the movie did get released 20 n’t years back, We set between the sheets and cried for a few several months. We swear to Jesus. I happened to be very despondent, however you learn then i would say now, because it is a historical document.
Penelope if i had to choose whether it would be released now, or back, touring the country offers you some unique opportunities and I want to know, which was a more surreal moment while he talks through a chicken mask on his head for you: hanging with Slipknot at the Lincoln Memorial or capturing Buckethead’s visit to a New Orleans cemetery? All other outside that is cool of tour moments over that summer?
Static X
got their tour bus repoed during the tour. My cameraman quit halfway through, and it was you know, you just have to swap the slides away whenever they come in. There’s always something you didn’t expect out there.
There was a time when we were shooting, they were then, probably now too, but like $200,000 because we had the first handheld high-definition Sony camera and. And a few guy was actually working he had like this Big Gulp cup in his hand and I didn’t know what he was going to do and then he got closer and closer toward us and. I’m like, oh, man, he’s gonna throw this at the camera. So, then I put my body in front of the camera, and dude tossed the inside that is liquid it absolutely was pee. I’m sure I managed to get pissed on truly poor because he consumed a bunch that is whole of. But the camera was saved by me. Therefore, which was form of cool.
Something such as that ended up being going on. There had been fireplaces that occur and other people fainting moving down the mountain upside down in the pouring rain. I am talking about, it absolutely was insane crap.
Penelope, as time passes driving and the opportunity to review this documentary along with its theatrical launch, is there circumstances in the movie you want happened to be much better symbolized or product remaining you could have included?
When that you wish we shot this we shot four cameras and it was my first experience after having a lifetime in film, shooting hot video where you could just keep shooting and shooting and shooting and I didn’t realize, Oh, I gotta go through 283 hours of tape, and so that was a challenge.Do as I was shooting everything There’s anything is thought by me on the editing room floor? That’s better than in the movie? No, I don’t because then we went I think that’s why the movie through it with a fine-tooth comb, and. We don’t feel safe complimenting myself personally, but that movie is known by you is really good. Day i said it to Sharon the other. We don’t think We could accomplish that once again “Push it”I today mean, it’s a thing that is good achieved it in those days. Anyhow, i am talking about, we don’t have regrets. It once was We regretted that the movie was actuallyn’t revealed and the best mentioning is actually you will never know then when that film was not released, I would still pick today instead of then because it means so much more now, you know?Totally, 100 percent if something’s bad or good until some time has passed and as brokenhearted as I was back. Everything is changed and everything sucks now. It’s nice to revisit.I’m Glad it was said by you, maybe not me personally. Yeah. Do you know what, for the decrease component three, it begins using this guy… No, we forgot just what motion picture it’s in, it’s like we mentioned, therefore what’s happening along with you? And then he goes, every little thing sucks. You’re estimating certainly one of my personal films. Yeah.Oh no, we claim that on a regular basis. Penelope as a documentary movie director, you’re there to document but many of those which spending some time interviewing or holding with rings, here extends to end up being some functions you started to fascination with having invested time using them. As a number of these teams happened to be only commencing, do you come to be keen on some of these functions during the period of firing a documentary as well as probably alter a viewpoint of on any act that is certain this new access?When I did Decline two I really wanted to have a band that is different. Really, it absolutely was gonna be Guns N Roses
. Fine and Slash and that I happened to be referring to all of them getting the act that is final the film and then their manager pulled out. I don’t like to say that they pulled out. But anyway, he pulled out at the last minute and so I scrambled, and I wanted there to be a heavier band in there than a lot of the you know, more poppy fluffy bands and I became a heavy duty Megadeth fan after that.
Then so we got Megadeth and you are aware as soon as we performed We supplied All of our Souls, I was a fan that is static-X. I still see you play that song,
all the time and yeah, I mean, I’m a “Ballroom Blitz”Buckethead
groupie. That dude is kick ass on guitar and of course I always love
Sabbath
that was from you know when I always love
Motorhead“Bohemian Rhapsody” too since they began and. Therefore, we indicate, I’ve been keen on a complete lot of these bands forever.

Clearly, the film developed away from figures made for Night Live by Mike Myers saturday. But were there moments where your own love that is personal of stone and steel had the opportunity to create into a scene?“Dream Weaver”Oh, well, I’ve browse the different time and that I was actuallyn’t truly conscious of it. But i suppose that sound recording record was actually like the surface of the data at some point therefore I dislike complimenting myself personally. But the Wayne’s is known by you World soundtrack, I probably picked 90 percent of the songs on there. You know, I mean, “Love Is Alive” was complimenting myself.“Dream Weaver”Wayne’s World trailer
You deserve to be complimented! And by the way, it’s an soundtrack that is amazing. We however love that sound recording.I feel just like it’s misfortune, to enhance myself personally. But anyhow, yeah, the songs in Wayne’s globe, I’d to combat for a complete lot of them that like okay. They didn’t want me to use
for when Garth sees Donna Dixon his dream girl, right? And I fought like hell for that out of the ballpark when he did his humping dance, you know?“Eras”But as far as you know,
is always when everybody thinks of in Wayne’s World, but that was in the script when I got a script and I believe that was Mike Meyers idea to put that song in the film, but it was my idea to film it that way, the way with them banging their heads like that and Mike didn’t really like doing that because I knew I could make it work and Dana Carvey smacked it. It was thought by him wasn’t funny, but it was funny.
I want to say one more thing about Wayne’s World though and that’s it because I’m done with that movie. It was finished by me a while right back. Gary Wright performed
he passed away recently unfortunately, but it was so weird when I got the script as you know, and.
was also in the script and it was a choice of Mike Myers and I had sort of, just coincidentally, I did the performance that is original of
and for Gary Wright during the early ’70s. We shot those men down in hillcrest at a stadium that is huge Warner Brothers Records and then when I got the script, I’m like, oh my god, I got again. And such a part that is pivotal of film. And, you are aware, it absolutely was best. It had been very best.Wayne’s Industry was actually those types of films that on you can’t you have to watch it all the way through, you have to watch it all the way through if it’s on, there’s a couple of favorites over the years that if you happen to find it. PS and this is one I used to like actually going to movie theaters. When that movie came out, we went and saw it times that are numerous. We snuck to the movie theater once or twice. Therefore, like captured the time and this genre and it had a great soundtrack and it was just such great film because I was like, you know, in high School
or whatever and we saw that movie so many times because it was just so great and I think it. Really film that is great
Thank you. All of us lucked on with this. It had been exactly the ideal coming collectively associated with the best men and women at a time that is perfect. You know, there’s no explaining when something catches on like that. It was in the zeitgeist, something happened and all of a everybody that is sudden Wayne’s globe and I’m truly pleased because that is why i will create each one of these homes. I’m money that is still getting Paramount for Wayne’s World.(*)Can you tell us the plans for the release of the Ozzfest ’99 documentary We Sold Our Souls for Rock N Roll?(you the plans but the fact of the matter is we don’t know yet and I will say this though, check out what Taylor Swift just did*) I would love to tell. You realize, I’m maybe not a Swifty. Okay, I am known by you. I’m not a Swifty. But I don’t mean to piss those guys off because there’s too many of them. But the thing is, she did a film while she was on that that is( concert tour. A movie was done by them and now it pre sold $26 million in tickets to the AMC chain. So, my point is, I think concert films in theaters now or even, like the Greek theater type venues could do well really. We i mean, Sharon and I and her team are discussing now how the film might get released when I say. But it sounds like it’s imminent. Let’s put it that real way.(*)Awesome.
