Man, Brian’s comment about Failure being a band you find and those being the bands that mean the most to you really resonates with me.

[@lukesayers5850]

God they were so great! Saw em open at lollapalooza, thank you Korn, for being sick that day. They opened

[@celladoor_uk]

It resonates with me too man!

[@north_7646]

i found Failure (hahah) yesterday. been through as many circles as i could get through, and nothing has resonated with me as wholly as this music. absolutely understanding that feeling you had.

[@AaronAubreyPhoto]

Yup.. quick story about 'finding' an artist. 2007, I'm in Japan and go to Tower Records to shop and I'd decided I needed to get into Springsteen and grab his new record "Magic" I pop it on at a listening booth and am quite fairly uninspired by it. Just below that album in the booth the cover of Joe Henry's "Civilians" catches my eye.. I pop it on, and am instantly hooked.. He's been one of my favourites ever since. watch?v=pYvdTdhW2hg

[@MrWoodwykz]

Exactly!!

[@Schumacher190]

I'm 32 and I'm honestly a fairly new Failure fan, like within the last year... and this music already means SO much to me. SOOO much...

[@jongallardo8006]

Make Sure you catch them touring this summer . They are amazing live!

[@Sasquatch10]

Same here, 26 and just discovered them last year. They were the only band i listened to for a solid month.

[@Schumacher190]

@@Sasquatch10 Same! I'd heard them YEARS ago, but never realized just how much I'd love them until I recently did a deep dive. They were the soundtrack of my WHOLE summer 2021. Haha.

[@nedim_guitar]

I had the same experience in 2013. I learned about Failure from Dave Navarro, he talked about Fantastic Planet being the best album ever, but I didn't really connect to it at first, because I only listened to it (in MP3) through my external computer speakers while doing other things at the computer. I finally listened to it more carefully in 2013 on Spotify (I don't use Spotify anymore), and I it was brilliant! Enough said, I bought Heart Is A Monster on CD, and then I switched to vinyl, I've bought everything they released in vinyl since 2014. I really like the band, my top 5, with ever changing top spot.

[@zachiswayposi1]

Welcome to the gang, everyone

[@rafaelthescholar7759]

Failure is one of the very few bands that showed me what music can become. They are not just another band. I am really grateful and lucky to have found this band.

[@OlayerB]

It looks like you guys are going to address the "drug situation" that broke up the band the first time, and let me just say I appreciate that honesty, openness, and sharing. The world missed you guys when you were broken up and we are all happy that you are back together and living well.

[@coolpics4u]

I’m pleasantly surprised to see Hayley Williams here! Paramore was the reason I discovered Failure in my pre-teens, their cover of Stuck On You had me wanting so much more of that SOUND!!! I’ve been in love ever since. I bought tickets for Failure’s 2022 tour today and this documentary has me even more stoked

[@webinfront]

Ken Andrews produced one of their albums !

[@alvaropicasso6051]

Big influence in my life along with the very underrated HUM guys as well. Cant wait !!! thanks for this!

[@RealBrandi11]

Failure and HUM are the pinnacle of music for me personally. Seeing them together in 2015 was like a dream.

[@remizik]

Someone recommended me to listen to "Heliotropic" and I instantly fell in love with the song, then the album, and then the whole discography. Failure is one of the best band ever to me, I keep going back to it. Such an underrated band. I really hope I can see you live at some point. Thank you for creating such an amazing music

[@DarkmanPoe]

Still my favorite song by them.

[@down1tone]

That bass riff is The bass riff of all time

[@lorenzodesidera1438]

If "supremely deserved" was a trailer, that would be it. Finally Failure, a band that has meant so much for so many of us, is getting the attention and the recognition they deserves. A wonderful day for great rock music.

[@EM-de7ds]

This band was so ahead of their time. Fantastic Planet could've been released in 2022 and it would've been very fitting. What a huge influence for me musically and I'm glad they decided to come back out for their encore.

[@drewthrondson6472]

Sounds track to the tv show Eurphoria almost to a tee?! Watch and youll get the vibrant chill tone

[@Errcyco]

The band got to do their own thing on fantastic planet and made one of the most important albums in rock history . Pretty nuts how that worked out.. and how many bands wish or can say they did that?

[@muaral-rasheed2565]

Failure just have this "aura" on their songs. So... weird... but delightful and beautiful. Kinda like a dream or a parallel universe where nothing is what it seems, a crook and quirk or the mind both in space and time. Kinda like drifting out in space were nothing matters, nothing makes sense but nothing needs sense either. Then there's that other "something else" I just can't explain. Found Failure a little over a decade ago though Paramore and nothing has changed. I like to call it "Space Grunge". Thank You Failure for been there even in the most crazy situations for me.

[@tpz7618]

I was 15 in 1994, saw Failure along with the Flaming Lips open up for TOOL at the Riviera in Chicago, still to this day the best show I ever saw, I immediately fell in love with Failure and still to this day love them more than any band from that era, hands down they are my favorite band of all time! I will be taking my 15 year old son to see them in Chicago this summer which will be his first concert ever as it was mine when I was his age! Going to be a great bonding moment in our lives!

[@perchancetodream1]

It's a Comfort to know Failure have gotten more recognition. I'd like to see them in the Birmingham, AL area in the future!

Bad timing. Came out a bit too late. Grunge was dead, and hip hop was booming. New metal was on the verge as well. Still one of he greatest of the 90's!

[@morokeiboethia6749]

I was actually in treatment and there was one other guy in the group that was my age. He's wearing a Tool t-shirt and the weekend prior I had gone to A Perfect Circle concert in my city. I asked him was he at the APC concert and he said no he wasn't but was going was going to one in about a month. He said, "hey, have you ever heard of a band called Failure?" .... That was probably the best suggestion I've ever been given. That was exactly 20 yrs ago and I've been a rabid fan ever since.

[@xintlzer3354]

I came for Hayley Williams I stayed for Failure, such a magical band, out of this world, I love it

[@Errcyco]

I didn’t know who she was at first lol that’s cool. Failure was an important band. I hate to say it but Fantastic Planet has gotta be too 25 most important rock albums of the 90s easily. The other albums not so much but still great.

[@gregs6424]

She had the least to say, honestly. (Sorry!)

[@RhymesWithCarbon]

I remember hearing "Stuck On You" on the radio for the first time on my way to class as a senior in college (92x in Denver, 1996) and it blew me away. I had no idea who on earth Failure was at that point, but I couldn't get over the innovation and crushing sounds they made. It was unlike anything else. Really neat seeing Tommy Lee talk about how he likes Failure and was excited by new sounds. I knew Tommy was pretty cool. This helps cement it.

[@mypathunfolding]

"Stuck On You" is one of my top ten favorite songs of all time, and I never thought I'd get a chance to experience it live. At the last minute, and just happening to decide to visit LA during the event, I was able to grab a ticket to "Cinquanta" at The Greek, and I could never thank Maynard enough for inviting Failure to play. The opening notes to "Stuck On You" rung out, I went into shock that this was finally happening for me, burst into tears, and had to sit down, sobbing. I will filled with so much joy, contentment, and gratitude. I will never forget how that moment felt. Thank you, Failure.

[@BSutes]

I wish there was a "LOVE" button to press, instead of just the "Thumbs up." Looking forward to the doc...seems like we'll see the whole picture...the dark and the light. I, for one, am grateful that you all made it through those dark times, @FailureBand. I also want to commend you, as I think you are only getting better!

[@diegocba]

Failure se merece esto y mucho más! Su música es arte, es mágica..

[@edgaradrianza5287]

I confess that i didn't know about the band... A friend show me this trailer because i'm a fan of music documentaries... And i was curious about the songs in this video. I listened to Fantastic Planet and it was mind blowing... A new fan of Failure has born. Can't wait to see this documentary.

Glad Failure is getting recognized now. They always reminded me of Nirvana if Kurt wrote thematic lyrics with clean production quality to the sound.

Interesting. I was a Junior in high school around 96, and ditched school for the day. I remember going to a friend's house who put on a recording of MTV 120 minutes from the night before. "Stuck on you" came on, and I was like "Who the F*k are these guys?" Loved the guitar. Troy has class, and played that Digitech Whammy pedal with such good taste and creativity - much better than other guitarists that were "raging" at the time. Well done, Troy!

First time I heard Another Space Song, something changed in my brain chemistry. I was taking a shower at my friend's house and he had a tape player in the bathroom that had fantastic planet. It was like having a religious experience. "SOS from another galaxy" is such a good description of Stuck on You.

[@conradcrawford1384]

I wish I found Failure sooner in my life. I'd only ever heard my friend Doug play Dirty Blue Balloons at open mic nights and didn't really understand much beyond that at the time.

Thank god!! A BAND that’s worth every salt grain making a documentary worth watching. Failure won in the end if you think about it. Their music is real. SO manny of us listen to Failure despite all the sparkle ridden irrelevant acts that have been forced upon us over the last 20-30 years. Sure there’s “something” in every act. But that’s just it, Failure isn’t an act. Can’t wait!

[@nitemareman1]

My first taste of Failure was at a Tool show in New Orleans in the mid 90's. I walked onto the floor of the show and right at that moment I saw Maynard come out onto the stage. He walked to the mic and said "This is Failure from Los Angeles California. Give them a chance" and walked backstage. I thought that was a very cool thing to do for them, because literally no one I knew had heard them in that part of the country at that time. They started playing and 3 songs in and I knew I was witnessing something very special. I remember thinking they were like Nirvana but much more refined. Much more musical. Everyone in that band was very talented, not just one person. They laid down a soundscape that has stayed with me 30 years later. I never got to see them again, but I've worn out every record. Can't wait to see this.

[@pressm4n]

Literally one of my favorite bands of all time. Their music has been a part of my everyday life for a couple years now. So grateful I came across their music

[@DiggityDoooo]

I think the first time I saw Failure was around the release of Fantastic Planet. Failure supported the band Local H (remember those guys?) on this tour, and put on an incredibly hypnotic set. The main thing I remember about the show was the band stretching out the end of Nurse who loved me, slowing down the tempo of the big power chords with wicked distortion crossing into shoegaze territory. When the final "rugs topography" was whispered, the crowd was in silent awe, just for a beat. I knew 3 people at that show, but it felt like the 400 or so of us all were sharing the same mind for just a quick moment that you missed if you weren't fully engaged. I think at least 95% of the crowd was FULLY engaged! Like they say in the preview, there is something so powerful about Failures sound, especially for a (mostly) 3-piece band. They are so dynamic, but also just teases you with audio that can confuse and disturb your soul. It makes you uncomfortable, but you still want more. This band has given me the most chills of any band I have listened to in my 45 years and I can't wait to see them again this summer with those same 3 buddies from 20+ years ago. I have a feeling many of the others there that day will be there too.
