Paul Westerberg - Capitol Records documentary (1999)

Waved Rumor finds the cool videos so you don't have to!

Below is a Paul Westerberg documentary (in four parts) shot in 1999 around the recording of Suicaine Gratification, with studio rehearsal clips, interview clips and more. It was directed by Ondi Timoner, who made Dig! (the Brian Jonestown Massacre/Dandy Warhols film) a few years later.

In these clips, Paul seems keen to talk about the new CD and his then-current musical life, but the interviewers seemed more concerned about his musical Mats past. Tough spot, and his frustration shows in these clips. Good stuff. Enjoy.

Part 1


Part 2


Part 3 (featuring the correct way to play a "G" chord")


Part 4 (note: the vocal is out of synch with the video)


Postnote: The kind soul who posted these on YouTube perhaps did not want it to be found, as zero tags were attached to these four videos. But I found 'em and liked 'em, so now so can you.
