Back when this was first shown on HBO or Showtime in about 97 or so, I sort of thought the Spice Girls were a bit teeny and not to be taken seriously. At the time, my son was about 8 or 9... and I had bought him their first album for Easter just because I knew it was popular (not all that aware that it was so significantly more a girl thing than a boy thing). Now, personally, I have always been a big hard rock and metal fan, but growing up in the 80s I also had a healthy appreciation for pop music. So, anyway, I bought him their CD and one day this was on HBO or Showtime he had it on downstairs and I was upstairs doing some project and had turned it on as background music. I watched the little documentary that starts this and found myself relating to these girls who were really nervous about their first show (being that I am very raw musician who had only played to small groups of friends in my life). Anyway, it was cool and once the concert portion started I was like... "HOLY COW... this is like the female pop version of KISS". I dropped what I was working on and sat on my bed and watched the whole thing. Big stage, outfits, personas, pyro, lights. Given my tastes for a stage show and good catchy music, there was literally nothing not to like here. I could not have been more impressed with the girls (not to mention, what guy who was around 28 at the time wouldn't have found at least Posh and Ginger hot?). The next day I borrowed his Spice CD and took it to work. After work I went and bought the Spice World CD... and so on and so on. I am actually proud as a now 41 year old guy to say that I realized the Spice Girls totally rocked... and I was not going to listen to what the general public thought of them. To this day I list the Spice Girls among my all time favorite bands
