Well being a fan of Tad for some time, this movie really gave me the fix I needed by this big lug of a man. Classic footage of the band interspersed with interviews by the man himself and his bassist Kurt. Well worth it even if you dont even know his music. It actually feels a bit like "This is Spinal Tap"(unintentionally).

This was a wonderful documentary of the history of the band Tad and the Seattle music scene in the late 80's and early 90's along with being an insiders look at the beginnings and ending of the Sub-Pop explosion. You get to know Tad Doyle and Kurt Danielson a little bit along with other members of Tad. You get to kind of go for a ride through their career. It was a keen look into a "real" Rockers world. This was very well done and down to earth.
This was a wonderful piece of work.

Great footage and neat documentary about Tad, the 'heaviest" band of all time. Even if your not a fan of their music, this is worth a watch. Talk about a band with a jinx, you'll just have to watch and see what I mean.

I loved TAD back in the day. TAD's music was (and still is) one of the pinnacles of hesher metal, in my opinion. Forget grunge, forget heavy metal, forget sludge, TAD kills them all.

I was excited to see this documentary, if only to bring back all those memories of the early 90s. As a history of the Seattle 90s grunge scene, it excels. As a history of TAD (and Tad Doyle the man) it excels even further, even though it's heartbreaking to watch Tad recount what could have been, if only TAD's fortune had been a little more favorable. There was setback after setback, dooming TAD to a footnote when they could have been on top of it all. The DVD is a sad thing to watch, if you're a fan.
