Summary: privileged!
Comment: i was actually privileged to watch this on the big screen here in singapore and i was floored!watching all those acts e.g.cramps, wall of voodoo, dead kennedys, magazine, 999 was tremendous and it opened up a whole new world of music to me. i later on managed to get a bootleg copy of the movie and i used to watch it at home when i was on leave from military service sadly the tape deteriorated in the tropical heat and i am waiting now to order it from one of the dealers on amazon

Summary: I remember seeing this when it was released.
Comment: I still love this movie. Some great classic footage. If you like early 80's music, try to at least see this movie.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A must see!
Comment: The very first time I watched "Urgh! A Music War", I was 15 years old. I was already a huge fan of punk/new wave music and this movie opened my eyes up to so many great bands. I was a huge Police fan, so they were my faves, but I loved all of the performances. I became a huge fan of X, Devo, Magazine, XTC (Respectable Street is etched in my mind), Klaus Nomi, Toyah Wilcox, Wall of Voodoo (I could never play that song out loud, but I loved it!), and so many, many others.
Music today just cannot compare to what was done in the early 80's. This movie encapsulates all of that creative energy and fantastic sound. I was lucky enough to tape it when it was showing on cable back in the 80's and I have it on VHS. I may look into getting it converted to DVD because it is such a classic movie.

Comment: Has this title ever been put out on DVD? Fantastic 1981 two-hour film that showcases many up and coming new wave / punk bands in three-to-four minute performance snippets.Just SO many to check out,some for the first time,as I dug viewing clips by the Police,Wall Of Voodoo,XTC,Go-Go's,Klaus Nomi(the strangest act I've ever seen,and THAT'S saying something),Devo,Cramps,Gary Numan,Gang Of Four,X and simply too many more to list here.An absolute must-have.
