TAD Busted Circuits and Ringing Ears

Tad was one of the greatest bands ever.

I only recent came across this documentary, and i recommend it to every one. It is a human story about a super-human band. The documentary reveals the inside backstage of one of the best, heaviest, misfortune grunge bands ever.

Hopeful now Tad can be appreciated as the genial band they were.

"TAD took the idea of playing LIVE very seriously; it was a life or death matter. This DVD not only stands as testimony to that claim, but it’s also a cinematic document of the world’s HEAVIEST band EVER (as Bruce Pavitt so incisively puts it) bodily stretching that assertion beyond any previously known limitations. Over our dozen years, TAD blew circuits and punctured eardrums, herniated discs and damaged vertebrae, pinched nerves and triggered sciatica, incited lumbago here, caused concussions there, a catalog of ailments that we took in stride as occupational hazards—may tinnitus forever unite us—and it was worth every thin dime of the always rising physical cost, an iconic barcode branded into our neural and muscular-skeletal tissues for all time. Better than a tattoo, it’s an open scar that roars, a broken alarm bell ringing from the lost event horizon of a long-dead star, one we could never see—that is, until this DVD clipped it back onto the light box of the silver screen, where it can be deciphered and viewed anew. This documentary telescopes the musical pathology of TAD down into the image of an electrocardiograph recording the minor-mode melody of a final infarct, a demented soundtrack that is neither tame nor de-clawed. It was never meant to be. Dare to feel it, and, like me, risk bleeding internally.
