"We Sold Our Souls for Rock 'n Roll" (2001) is what "The Decline of Western Civilization Part III" (1998) could and should have been!
I think the best way to think about his documentary is seeing the phenomenon of the touring festivals of the 1990s through Penelope Spheeris' cameras. Not only Ozzfest used to be a huge tour, but there was Tattoo The Earth, Family Values, Van's Wrapped Tour and Lollapalooza (back when it still had great bands and an alternative identity not just the biggest selling mainstream crap like today).
Argubly, the 1999 Ozzfest had the greatest line up of the decade, with bands like Primus, Godsmack, Rob Zombie, Static-X and the mighty Black Sabbath.
If you're into Rock and Metal this is a must see!
