At a New YearŐs Eve party, someone slapped a Temple of the Dog sticker on Scot BarbourŐs leather jacket. While vinyl-diving in San Francisco, he came upon TOTD again and learned the album was a tribute to the bandŐs friend, Andrew Wood.
Hearing Chris CornellŐs striking lyrics along with Stone Gossard's soulful riffs on "Say Hello 2 Heaven," sent chills through Scot. CornellŐs grief was palpable. He had to learn who this Andrew was and why anyone would care so much to create such a heartbreaking song.
The Andrew Wood Story and the journey it took to be told was at that moment and forever after, Scot BarbourŐs story to tellÉ
On March 19th 1990, after three days in a coma, Andrew Wood was removed from life support and died. He was 24. Rock and roll would never be the same. Gone was the era of commercial hard rock, enter grunge. Seattle was on the map.
Not like a normal documentary, Scot Barbour directs MALFUNKSHUN with an impressionistŐs brush-stroke. He artfully paints AndyŐs childhood and his relationships, his dreams and his darkness, his passion and his pain with haunting lyrics and intimate conversations with family, friends and never before seen interviews of Andy, himself. It is a story about how one beautiful, yet damaged, soul was the inspiration for some of SeattleŐs greatest musicians.
Interwoven with rare concert and candid footage, the filmŐs soundtrack includes the bands, Malfunkshun, Mother Love Bone, Temple of the Dog and unreleased Andrew Wood solo.
Despite his short life, the music and the legend that Andrew Wood created lives onÉ
