My first contact with Massive Attack was when I was 14. I had snuck into a movie theater with my then girlfriend to watch The Matrix back in the summer of 1999. I had no idea who they were before that point, having grown up small in my little Maryland suburb. Then a buddy of mine brought home this bloody cool CD jewel case from NYC. The cover featured a black horned beatle set against white. Already I was intrigued and as soon as I heard Angel for the first time my imagination took to what was for me a new and exciting sound unlike anything I'd heard up to that point. Mezzanine as an album changed me. I've been listening to Massive Attack's entire discography ever since. From Blue Lines to The Spoils they've been there everytime I needed to chill, to move, to heal. When asked who my favorite band is I don't hesitate to say, Massive Attack.
One of the greatest bands of all time...my baby boy was rocked in my arms to Blue Lines and the Teardrop EP. He still adores them as do I and we listen to them every week on our family turntable. What a terrific documentary. And their live concert back in 1998 in Melbourne was incredible! I danced all night in a relatively small audience; first night out to see live music after my son's birth. Amazing return to a usual routine. Love, Love Love all of the musicians who have contributed to them.
The importance of Massive Attack on music art culture and representation of peoples lives and strughles through such amazing talent can never be appreciated enough in my eyes. My Boys x
My favorite band, and I'm from southern USA :P. There's just so much variety and quality through their discology. I stumbled on them while I was house-bound due to a medical issue and they really helped me pass the time and become more spiritually connected.
.......I just started listening to Massive Attack like 5 years ago after hearing a song on Pandora. Damn these cats been out since 1988? Wow! I truly missed out on a good 2 decades of these dudes...and dudette lol Good stuff though. Glad to see they have longevity.
Went to school with Grant backwell comp 70-75 Long Ashton Boy.... bloody good footballer too. I was in year above him, but he played for our year.... Great lad from a great family... Proud of ya grant bro..
when i heard safe from harm a damn lot of years ago on mtv when it came out i was fascinated and interessted in massives Music. I saw them 7 times Live since than, the first one in Amsterdam Paradiso in 99 and every Concert was a real happening and experience. They are a Soundtrack of my Life!
Tell that to the Delta Blues singers and jazz artists from the states who quite frankly launched all of this music from Rock to Hip-Hop and any other urban ìnfluenced music. Dont get me wrong...British and European music is crucial to so many things but to make a statement like the one you did is crap mate. Not looking to start a scrape...just making a point. Brilliant music has been coming up from all parts of the world all the time. There is no ONE place who can lay claim to it.
There wouldn't be No Trip-Hop if it wasn't for HIP-HOP being started in my home town, The Boogie Down Bronx NY. Let's keep it real Trip-Hop was heavily influenced by Hip-Hop that started in the early 70s. Even your man Tricky was inspired by Rakim.
i really think so...check Sounds Of The West docu @ 8:56...Banksy in color..there were very few people doing the 'blek le rat' style stencil back then...and with his exhibitions been in towns there they were playing.
You know. I never bought into the 3D/Banksy talk that everyone else is spewing. I've figured they're just good friends from being in the graffiti world together. But then I'm watching this documentary and 3D starts talking about Palestine and how they're really wanted to play there and they've really wanted to help with the efforts... and I'm just thinking back to a couple days ago where I found out Banksy opened that Walled Off Hotel out there... of course, 3D is going to be playing there. When I read that, I again was just thinking that they're good friends. But now I'm like "this interview was YEARS ago. The way he speaks about Palestine, it sounds like a very important subject to him. Could he have conveyed that importance to Banksy to make it so important to him that Banksy would open a hotel?" Part of me doesn't think so. Usually the most likely scenario is the answer. And it's more likely that 3D feels so passionately about this that he opened the hotel, not convinced Banksy to do it. But then part of me goes back to thinking that "Banksy" is a collective, not a person, and 3D is just PART of the whole scheme.
@@firecoral417 believe it or not, there are millions of people who care about Palestine and the slow mo genocide of the people there. Robert is not Banksy. Their art, if you care to look, is totally different and the people who know the latter laughed their arses off when a bored or desperate for a story journalist invented this tale.
Where can you find the songs from this documentary? I really liked the atlas air version they had on this, but I can't seem to find it anywhere else. :'[
First you must try to find their discography on the net and then download the music you like from them with ilistentoyoutube and I hope you will find what you like
You know? Is used as a lead into the next thought it's really not a personal attack on anyone's intelligence. You guys seem to be very emotionally involved in what people you don't know at all are saying. That sad.
3D is his nick name with his mates since his teens. As a artist being introduced to an American audience, he simply wanted his real to be used. weird that you have a problem with this Mr Etc.
Massive Attack is one of the greatest bands of all time.
The greatest in my opinion.
one of, 100%
Yesssssssssss
You are right!!
Agree, but at least US has Trent Reznor.

That’s so fucking cool
Yeah man, I couldn't agree more, despite quite a different backstory
I have THE biggest crush on Daddy G, so glad to finally hear him speak!😍🥰🤩
So original. No one can touch their creativity.

Massive Attack literally created an entire genre, and still don’t get enough recognition!!

OMG, the absolute BEST music, but this doc put me to f'n sleep!
In the mystic egypt tossle dangling down
Brits are always light years ahead of everyone else in the music world...

@@warborn_inc. also Jamaica influenced the whole world musically

Coral C he is banksy. Robert aka robin - robin banks - Banksy. The graffiti internationally coincides with massive attack tours
3D isn't Banksy. They do know each other but they're different people.

Who says "y'know" the most... D or G?
both of them......... definitely both
Everyone from Bristols
Tricky
Yes.
Great video but wtf is up with that fucking vignette video effect when they perform Angel in the Q studio?!?!
+Adriaan du Toit so the powers that be don't take it down i guess?
what year this was made??😦😦😎😎😎🌹🌹🌹..this amazing!!!
You have massive attack from uk, you have nine inch nails from the us. Phenomenal
❤
32:13
surprised jian didn't throw a left hook during this one
Genius
song at 38:22
You probably figured it out by now, if not, the song is called: Babel
Thank you!
Ah, you're welcome. Cheers :)

For when I need a belly laugh 😳🤣😭😂
spanish subtitles, please!!
Anyone knows whay they split in 2001?
They always say that there werent any fights...doubt that...Maybe Im wrong
Daddy G was on paternity leave, Mushroom had already quit the band right after Mezzanine was made

See below the comments of Apple Snapple
THIERRY LEVY or do the right thing and buy the music to support them 🙄
@@rcecil88 agreed.!
Can you put subtitles? :(
Some awkward questions/mistakes were made... But all is well.
Necesito subtitulos :(
Why is this documentary in black and white??
ummm - 'interview' maybe - i wouldn't call this a documentary :P
en español!
vignette effect, what for? does not improve the music and makes the video to a degree bad
so blurry
Kinda glad Tricky left
Tricky wasn't in them
+Cammy yes he was
Me too. I think Tricky is better doing his solo stuff. Though, I do like his contribution to the new EP
Cameron Wilson they turned into gorillaz though. They dont do like anything they just have guests come in and rap i miss when they actually tried.
Have you listened to the spoils? Probably their best song imo. No rapping, but I agree I would like some more tracks with Robert singing.
BANKSY ;)

If you don't want to be called 3D, maybe don't call yourself 3D?
3D is his nick name with his mates since his teens. As a artist being introduced to an American audience, he simply wanted his real to be used. weird that you have a problem with this Mr Etc.
Massive attack remind me about Marilyn Manson's music.
Do anyone sees the connection?
God damn...play with Lego and shut up!
I think it’s the samples , drum machines & keyboards that you may be making comparisons.
