Filmage: The Story of Descendents\All
Descendents are the
best story ever.
They come from a different time in punk.
They come from a different world.
You have this idea that started in
seventy-something, and to see it still going?
That's totally cool!
A lot of what people listen to
obviously owes itself to the
fact that those guys made
I remember hearing the Descendents
for the first time and thinking,
Whoa, these guys
listen to the Beatles.
There was a sense of
melody and songwriting.
What instantly drew me into
the Descendents was how
much melody they had. How
They were like the punk rock Beach
Boys. Their harmonies were great.
And this, like, shameless love
song aesthetic, you know?
None of the other bands
had the balls to do that.
Everyone was screaming
about Reagan or whatever.
I think the Descendents are possibly
one of the most underrated bands
that too often don't get the credit
for essentially creating pop punk.
They're a part of the
foundation, the fabric.
This sincere connection of pop
and angst at the same time
without it ever being this
thuggish tough-guy thing.
You have this singer who looks
like a f*cking geek singing about
getting screwed over by a chick
with the gnarliest band behind him.
It was great.
And they worked
very few days off.
They're always, always
pushing themselves.
Almost militant work ethic.
in the room. It was gross.
They're the most
precise band I think.
They were real players,
and prided themselves
very, very well.
With a fury, man. It's right
here in my heart to see these
guys again. This is Milo of the
Descendents and, I'm sorry
I'm Bill.
Bill is the brainchild
behind the Descendents.
It is trippy that they
were a drummer-run band.
Our whole goal was like,
"Yeah, it's cool, there's this
thing called 'punk rock.' Now
let's take it somewhere."
When I said, "I wanna go be a
nerd scientist geek," then they
said, "Hey, see you later." And
all of a sudden they formed ALL.
Since this band's
inception in 1978...
You're not gonna get one person...
You've probably never
heard of them...
...on this planet...
"They're formerly called the Descendents.
They're now simply called ALL."
...to say they like ALL
better than the Descendents...
"Folks, give a nice
warm welcome to ALL!"
...no f*cking way.
People literally didn't know who they
were. They're like, "Who's ALL?"
And I was like, "Well, it's Descendents.
Same band, different singer."
So there's a different
singer, big deal, whatever.
There's no other band like them.
Doesn't matter which one they are.
The caliber of songwriting
not wavered for 30 years.
I don't think there were any other
bands that could do what they did.
It's good to see that
those guys are getting
credit for what they, in
a lot of ways, created.
"But the show is far
from being over..."
It's just their time for
people to understand
that the Descendents
had a big place.
MALE VO:
"Welcome theDecendents!" [CROWD CHEERS]
MILO:
"It's been a longtime for us, so... wow."
VO:
[RADIO WEATHER REPORT]BILL STEVENSON:
So going backto before we had the bands.
Before Descendents, before
So, there was fishing.
Of all things to have brought
would-be future punkers together.
KEITH MORRIS:
Myhistory with Bill goes
all the way back to the Hermosa
Tackle Box, which was a business
Avenue down in Hermosa Beach.
