BORN INNOCENT THE REDD KROSS STORY Documentary Movie Trailer HD - Plot synopsis: Born Innocent makes the case for Redd Kross as the seminal US West Coast band of the last half century. Passionate praise for the band started by 'freak brothers' Jeff & Steve McDonald – one of the most unique and influential American rock bands of the past four decades. A colourful and chirpy clusterf*ck of garage punk, glam, power pop, metal, candour, bullheadedness and wild adventures. A genre unto itself, and unto which, members of Sonic Youth, L7, Black Flag, Melvins, & Sebadoh profess undying love. Born Innocent: The Redd Kross Story is directed by producer / filmmaker Andrew Reich.

00:00A band beyond the power of all geekdom, Red Cross.
00:07The Jeff and Steve dynamic is insane.
00:10What?
00:11Are you bitter about that?
00:12Because you seem extremely...
00:13No!
00:14There's a very special thing, like an aura around them.
00:19We were like the first kiddie punk band.
00:23Jeff always put me out, you know, he'd say,
00:25Yeah, our basement's 11.
00:28Those are like our Tom Sawyer type adventures.
00:34You guys are like all sunshine and clear skies.
00:37These guys are too happy. Why are they so happy?
00:42Teen Babes from Monsanto is when we actually came out as rock stars.
00:46I saw Axl, I saw Slash at those shows.
00:49I know they were taking notes.
00:51Nikki Sixx has been ripping off me and Steve for so fucking long,
00:54it's time that you people know about it.
00:57My partner has really marched to the beat of his own drum.
01:01Well, I mean, he has a habit of blaming others for his failures.
01:04This song was written by my bratty, obnoxious little brother.
01:07I remember Jeff going over to Steve and grabbing his hair.
01:11I remember Steve going,
01:12Better tell Mom.
01:15They're the ones that survived everything.
01:18There's a telepathy and there's a unique functioning
01:21that happens within the dysfunction
01:23that I think is all still there.
