The Decline of Western Civilization

These indelible chronicles of L.A.'s outrageous music scenes of the '80s are as "entertaining, heartbreaking, and iconic" (Rolling Stone) as they were decades ago. The first film focuses on the punk music scene circa 1980 (with performances and interviews with Black Flag, Catholic Discipline, Circle Jerks, and others). The second covers glam-metal icons Poison and Faster Pussycat, as well as superstars Motörhead, Alice Cooper, Kiss, and Aerosmith. After being a VHS cult classic for decades, The Decline is now being released in this glorious 2K restoration overseen by director Penelope Spheeris. All the music, sweat, blood, and booze has never looked -- or sounded -- better.
