Angel with dirty wings...
Having known Marian personally and been part of some of her antics, it was a real trip down nostalgia lane watching this vid...but it also disclosed for me things I never knew about her life. Especially the end, when many of us were wondering what the hell happened? Everything seemed like it was going well for her. But, now I have some of the answers. It doesn't fill the void that is left in our heart, but at least we can sort of understand what it happened.
As for the documentary, I think it was well done, but I would have liked to have seen more interviews with people who really knew her back in the day like Ginger Coyote, and more from Texas Terri. Also, I don't think people will ever realize how close she and Daniel Deleon were...I think he was like her anchor in so many ways. It does touch on this, but I think it should be said that he was a true, blue friend, and stood by her side, through a lot of thick and thin. The world would be a better place if we all had a...
nice to see a woman hold her own in hardcore
I'm not much of a hardcore fan, so maybe I'm talking out my ass, but it seemed like a pretty macho scene from the outside. So it was pretty cool to see a real femme fatale (who appears to have been quite nice in real life) in that arena. Not being a hardcore music fan, the music didn't do too much for me; it would've been interesting had she lived and done the psychobilly thing with her later band-- I think it actually would've been pretty good. She did have a nice voice, and atonal-shout-singers don't always transition well into other genres that require real vocal skills. You can't always hear her voice in the recordings, until the slower stuff in the end.
Having said that, I never really understood the hardcore revival(or as they said 'punk's not dead') of the 1990's- to me, while it's democratic and all that, it felt like a dead horse even in the 80s. But I guess it speaks to a lot of people and it seems (they will hate this comparasin to death) almost like the Grateful...
Well done with great ventage footage
Well done documentary with great access to those who knew her best. Great footage an old photos of early life bring back memories of days gone bye.
