    You should check out The Decline of Western Civilization, definitely video footage of some of these shows (LA specific) in that documentary.

    Edit: The full documentary https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gc4yrcdAok

    Another fun fact is the director also directed Wayne's World.

    This is beyond pathetic. It's clearly time for Penelope Spheeris to film "The Decline Of Western Civilization IV: Gaming Nerds".
