Description

[Machine Translation] From John Lennon and Paul McCartney of the Beatles to the Sex Pistols and Joan Jett. Sonic Youth, the Minutemen, the Slits, and even GG Allin, "the most brilliant pervert in rock history," in a spectacular display of insanity. The world's most extraordinary and unbelievable mass of rock documentaries, all 11 films in one low-priced edition! Documentary film of L7 from L.A., the queen of grunge/alterna, with their heavy and noisy gloomy sound. This documentary film covers the history of L7, a four-piece female rock band from Los Angeles, U.S.A. active from 1985 to 2001, from the episode when the band was formed in 1985 to their rise to the "Queen of Grunge" and their breakup in 2001, completely from the members' point of view with many previously unreleased videos. The film depicts their career from the members' point of view, along with a lot of previously unreleased footage. L7 came out of the punk/hardcore scene in Los Angeles, USA, and released their first album on Epitaph Records, which was led by Brett Gurvitz of BAD RELIGION, followed by their second album on Sub Pop, the symbol of the grunge/alternative movement, and their third album on Warner Records, the most important label in the L.A. punk scene. Their third album was released on Slash Records, the most important label in the L.A. punk scene, and their brooding sound with heavy, noisy guitars gained support from some in the metal world, and they toured with Nirvana and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and performed at the huge Lollapalooza festival in 1994 with the Beastie Boys and the Green Ghosts. The band also toured with Nirvana and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and performed on the main stage with the Beastie Boys and Green Day at the huge Lollapalooza festival in 1994, making them one of the leading alternative bands. L7, whose members are all women as a result of their female lineup, has inherited the nuances of female rockers such as Wendy O. Williams, BITCH, and THE SLITS, and has said that they are more like MOTORHEAD and FUGAZI than metal bands. In addition, at the request of director John Waters, the band appeared in the movie "Serial Mom," and their songs were also used in the movies "Natural Born Killers" and "Tank Girl. The film is made up almost entirely of over 100 hours of home video footage and new interviews with the band members, making it a different kind of music documentary than most, and was voted #48 on NME's list of the 50 Best Performances at Festivals. The film also features the tampon incident at the 1992 Reading Festival, and the exposed lower body incident at a variety show in the UK.
*Rated 12-and-over.
Special Feature / Bonus Track: bonus video footage

L7: プリテンド・ウィ・アー・デッド [廉価版] / 洋画

[KING RECORDS ROCK MOVIE CLASSICS Vol.3] ビートルズのジョン・レノン、ポール・マッカートニーからセックス・ピストルズ、ジョーン・ジェット。さらにはソニック・ユース、ミニットメンからザ・スリッツ、そして狂気の大スペクタクルを展開した<ロック史上もっとも見事な変質者>GGアリンまで。世界的にあり得ないとんでもないかたまりが実現したロック・ドキュメンタリー廉価版全11作品!! ■ヘヴィ&ノイジーな陰鬱サウンド、<グランジ/オルタナの女王>L.A.出身L7のドキュメンタリー映画。 1985年~2001年に活動していた米国ロサンゼルスの女性4人組ロックバンド、L7の歴史を網羅したドキュメンタリー映画。1985年の結成時のエピソードから<グランジの女王>に上りつめた時代、そして2001年の解散まで、多くの未発表映像とともに完全にメンバーの視点でそのキャリアを描いていく。アメリカ、ロサンゼルスのパンク/ハードコアシーンから出てきたL7はBAD RELIGIONのブレット・ガーヴィッツ主宰のエピタフレコードで1stアルバム発売後、グランジ/オルタナ・ムーブメントの象徴サブポップで2ndを発売、3rdからはLAパンクシーンの最重要レーベルであるワーナー傘下スラッシュレコードでメジャーに進出、ヘヴィでノイジーなギターを軸にした陰鬱なサウンドで一部メタル界からも支持を集めたほか、ニルヴァーナやレッド・ホット・チリ・ペッパーズとのツアー、巨大フェスの94年ロラパルーザではビースティ・ボーイズやグリーン・デイらとメインステージをつとめるなど、オルタナバンドの代表格的な存在感を示した。意図的ではなく、結果としてメンバー全員が女性となったL7は、ウェンディ・O・ウィリアムズやBITCH、THE SLITSら女性ロッカーたちのニュアンスを受け継ぎつつ、メタル系よりもMOTORHEADやFUGAZIなどのバンドに親近感を抱くと自ら語っている。他にはジョン・ウォーターズ監督のリクエストにより映画『シリアル・ママ』に出演、映画『ナチュラル・ボーン・キラーズ』『タンクガール』などにも楽曲が使われている。映画はほぼ全篇メンバーが当時から撮っていた100時間超におよぶホームビデオの映像と新規インタビューの声で構成され、一般的な音楽ドキュメンタリーとは異なった作りとなっており、NME誌の<フェスティバルでのベスト・パフォーマンスベスト50>の第48位に選出された1992年レディング・フェスティバルのタンポン事件や、UKのバラエティ番組での下半身露出事件もフィーチャーされている。
