But by this logic hip hop and jazz and blues aren't black music. To be honest there is a retroactive attempt to paint punk as a black thing, but it's really not most typically. it's uncomfortable for some reason for people to say punk was largely white cause it's seen as such a cool counter cultural aesthetic and they want it to be black. A lot of black guys, wanting points for their team, it's funny they need to get these guys who really aren't involved in this genre of music like elijah wood to speak on it.

This is one of THE best documentaries ever! Thanks for sharing. It's not just about the music, which is just amazing, but the love to be found in this family. Too often black families are portrayed poorly where kids grow up without a father. Yes, these brothers lost their father when they were very young but, clearly, they managed to thrive because the parents had already planted seeds for a strong family. Finally, this story reinforced my belief that our loved ones really never die. David Hackney was right. "The world is one big waiting room." David clearly never died, for his spirit lives on in not only the music he left behind but his wonderful nephews. RIP David & Mr. & Mrs. Hackney.

After watching on my phone for about 10 minutes I chromecasted it to my TV, kick back and watched this entire documentary. I must have busted out in tears Three or four different times. It's a beautiful story about brotherhood family and what it takes to be a true musician an artist. Much love and peace to all of you And God bless.

This really resonates with me on a deep level. I'm glad David kept the name Death and wouldn't compromise his vision, truly punk rock and also so much more. This band, his life, the story it's all a message about the temporal nature of life and the urgency to seize the day while we can, be true to yourself and don't fear death.

Their music had to marinated for over 30 yrs. before the world could be ready to feast on it. David Hackney knew that 30 yrs beforehand because he was 30 plus yrs ahead of his time and he was proven right because the world did come looking for their music.

“We’re just unwilling stars in the movie but Dave is the director.” 💜

From Death comes rebirth. The death of a great man, their father, birthed an awaking in David. In David's death sparked rebirth of his "children" his music. Legends never die, they r only reborn. For the whole world to see.

Even just calling themselves "The Hackney Brothers" would have been cool. Seriously though mad respect to David for having the scrupples to not compromise on the name and the concept.

I got goosebumps when the kids were playing live as Rough Frances. This was a lovely bittersweet story. The brothers were so far ahead of their time and geographical location. They could have been from NYC circa 1975.

I'm not even sure how I came upon this video, but man I'm so thankful I did. This isnt just a Documentary, it is a testimony of the spiritual world meeting the physical world. After watching this, how can you deny our Lord? Beautiful...

This story...these brothers...this journey...this music! Grateful to have learned their legacy. Thank you.

I love that the music transcends everything. You close your eyes and the sound speaks bounds! Thank you Mrs. Hackney!

I am so glad this documentary was made! David was definitely way ahead of his time.

I can’t begin to imagine how they must have felt playing those gigs and seeing their brothers unflinching vision realised.. and the sons supporting using David’s pseudonym..really great documentary

man i'm not crying i swear

Had no idea a documentary on a punk rock band would have my face wet... Extremely happy that I have seen this.

A beautiful story indeed. Never will you hear a more wholesome story about a punk rock band.

I'm 55 years old I remember hearing of this band , I remember hearing a song or two but I never got the pleasure to hear more of them, man were was i? I really missed out!!

Mrs. Hackney is the world's BEST mom EVER!!!

Very moving! One of the best documentaries i've ever seen. Rock n roll never dies! This really shows the power of music. Really made me emotional

Such a great documentary. These guys stayed true to their sound and has finally been heard. I'm so happy for them. RIP David.

You gotta love the oldest brother, he's like a manically happy sort with Cab Calloway's mouth...

Death will bring us all together. Punk is Unity. David had true unity consciousness. This music and this documentary arrived at exactly the moment that we would be ready to receive it. David is right on time. We are ready for Death now. Just remember, this is only the waiting room. Always support your brothers. Never sell your soul.

@@celticeyesmorriganrising929 Yes we are in exact agreement. Punk is unity with oneself and within the movement. Unity with the self is total liberation from conformity and the status quo. These guys are revolutionary punk rockers because they are committed to the highest form of unity (they found it in the spirit of God, which is also the spirit of the self) and it released them from all confines of race and musical genre, amongst other things. In their unity they have even transcended the confines of linear time. Legends.

The very first thing I've seen on youtube that I can honestly say I'm grateful for. Thank you.

Can't lie.....I dropped a tear when David died. For some reason, I really feel a connection with him. We have similar ways of seeing things and I feel like somethings that he was carrying in his mind and couldn't express remind me of things in me. Wow

What an amazing story. I'm so glad I found this movie on KZread.

"David said calmly, can we have the masters?" I laughed my ass off because I know that's exactly how I would've acted and what I would have said. That was punk of David to stick to your idea and not change. This was a CRAZY documentary and I'm glad I saw it! I knew I was gonna cry. The Austin, Tx performance happened nearby me.

Hotep. Peace be still. It was no accident for me to run across this documentation . For me at this moment I'm dealing with death I'm sitting here alone however not alone. With tears in my eyes with tremendous pain the pain. That I been holding back for decades. As a musician I can relate to what these brother have been going through. All the audience see is some musician playing great music. But they don't see or don't know the path or the Journey we went through. Like Bessie Smith says. If the music does mean or Express emotion. Then there's no reason for me to play it. So when we play we or expressing that along with the journey that brought us here. And that is some that the audience will never understand unless they are on a similar Journey to place them at their purpose. Peace be still. !!!!🌇🌆📜🎹🌹🌿🌹🌿🌋🌋💯💯📌🔨⏳🗡🎯📐🖤🕷🕸🐞♠↔🗿🦂🔱
