How is it possible that the entire thing feels like a trailer?

Putting ads for the show throughout the show is crazy lmao

Stupid adds for a show we’re already watching every ten minutes..

Vice turning in that copy pasted homework that’s due 😂

Bringing back the '07 style of documentaries make vice great again

Being violent and hurting people is easy, having empathy and spreading acceptance and kindness is truly difficult and a man choosing empathy or sympathy over violence is more defining of a man than how many people he's hurt.

3:06 extended intro finish

Their I,Q's, is same as their tire pressure 😂😂😂

Someone has been watching A&E lately lmao

Now they're just south park characters.

top tier way to spend 45 minutes. i cant complain.

I'm not a patched MC or anything close. I do ride bikes again but when I was a kid and all the way through college I owned and rode HD's 365. I did so because it was all I could afford. I was as poor as anyone you ever met but had a great life. I've met a lot of different people and done some very cool things. One of those were encounters with fully patched members of the Hell's Angels. First time I was just a 15 year old kid on a beat up Harley (I'm 68 now) on a solo ride to the mountains on Colorado. I was 15 and ridiculously immature...ha, but I loved adventure. As I was increasing altitude, my bike started struggling and finally just stopped. I had no idea about altitude and fuel mixture. I was from the flat lands of Oklahoma. Anyway, stuck on the side of the road no knowing what to do, I first heard, then saw, a large chapter of HA's on their way to a rally. I'd never seen so many bikes and everyone was wearing rockers and the full thing. As they passed by, I'm not sure how because there was not wireless or phones back then, got the message for some of the guys at the tail to peel off and help me, because 5 of them did. They were as cool as anyone I had ever met and was in awe. All the ones that stopped were back (I think just back) from serving in Nam. Not only did they adjust my carbs, they checked the bike over and fixed a few other things I didn't even know about. They showed me how to re adjust the carbs as well and left me with a small set of tools to keep. They made sure I got going and trailed me till they caught up with the rest of the chapter(s) up ahead that were stopping for a bit. I went on and waved as I passed. What great guys. They also taught me things that I needed to know about riding. Some of those included what you did and didn't do around MC's. Stuff that people should know. First and last is respect. They have no need to start trouble. Most of them have had enough of that and they never mess with civilians for fun. Any member that does anything not deserved to civilians, will regret it. I had a similar issue when I was 18 and crossing the painted desert when my brakes pretty much fell apart. A small number of them were again on a ride and they all stopped to help. They had a van following that had lots of parts and stuff (yes they do prepare for rides) but not everything I needed. They sent a prospect to a place up the road and got the part. I did have to pay for the part (not much) but they did all the work and I had a ball with them that evening. I'm sure there's been problems with the Hell's Angels but a lot of the horror stories about them are just not true. For the most part, they are just people that don't want to be behind a desk or be unhappy during a short life. Most are just good people.

This is about the best documentary on the HELLS ANGELS i have watched !

Why is that bald dude yelling all the time? Like dude we can hear you

There are some people in this comment section who will defend these guys, glorify them, say they are just a club and not a gang, and say that they met some who were nice to them. It doesn't change the fact that this is an organization that buys and sells drugs from the Mexican cartels and assaults and murders people because of a piece of fabric on someone's back. Just cause you do a toy drive and treat some people well and don't crap where you eat doesn't change anything. That 1% patch is no different than the red and blue bandanas that hang out the pants of the bloods and crips.

How much “epic” music can you possibly fit in one video?

27:38 "Hash and Marijuana" That's like whiskey and alcohol.😄

I grew up in Oakland. Some time in the early 90's, I was somewhere between maybe 5-8yrs old, I was eating at our neighborhood diner with my dad, which was just a single counter. This guy comes in with a hole in his throat, sits down next to me, and orders some food, as as I remember, makes some small talk with me and my dad. Afterwards, my dad says, "that was Sonny Barger, the leader of the Hell's Angels". Pretty wild looking back on that and now knowing who he was

These are the documentaries that made us start watching Vice. Keep this going you might not collapse lol

Love these type of documentaries, reminds me of the old Vice stuff.

I used to hangout with the angels sometimes at dead shows in the late 60s an 70s. They maintained presence at shows throughout the deads career but the earlier years they were always there pretty much. Imagine them on LSD and such, it was wild times

Ahhhh just in time for lunch, thanks Vice!

The best Hells Angels documentary is the BBC one from 1973. Its on RU-vid and you will never look at the Hells Angels them same ever again!

They remind me of the Harley riders from that South Park episode 😂

Watching YT on the porcelain throne is the only way.

I like that Stadnick and "Mom" got along as two leaders. Resulted in power instead of conflict.

This is amazing. Thank you.

Sonny Barger once said that the HA made a mistake by riding Harley instead of the Japanese bikes at the time.. Let that settle in.

Were waiting for part 2 still damnit 😮

Amazing documentary

Hell angels used to Mean something, now it's just a hey look at me thing

yk hells angels often kissed on the lips to test each other

South Park calls these guys what they really are.

Absolutely great documentary

If anyone wants to learn about the Hells Angels when they were more prominent (back in the 60s) read some of Hunter S. Thompson's writings on them. He did a fantastic job.

What is that intro song? So fire

Good friend of mine is a Hells Angel Woverhampton Chapter, he got jailed for 8 years back in 2009 for involvement in a massive fight with the Outlaws that took place in Birmingham airport. The fight was connected to a turf war in Ibiza

hey vice, great upload.

I so much love this episode

There is a lot of incredible historical footage of Canadian 1%ers... plus the involvement of a current member. Pretty cool. Could have a better explanation of how some Satan's Choice chapters patched over to Outlaws but some remained.

Did you make a recruiting video for the Hells Angels?

We had one hell of a good time with Sonny, Phil and the boys back in the day! Their good Guy's if you have the privilege to know them! RIP Sonny! ❤ You are always remembered and forever loved! I miss you! ❤

W-w-we're with the Vipers! 😖

People don't realize these aren't clubs or even "gangs". These groups like the Hells Angels and Bandidos are the Mafia on wheels.

now they do security for drake 😂😂 iykyk

Vice can actually make a come back with these documentaries

Oh yea this my 1st time watching this documentary. So far its LiT🔥🔥🔥

whenever you're feeling dumb, just remember this guy said the Hells Angels could give Jeff Bezos a run for his money

Drug Dealers on scooters ,.. wo w I am super impressed

Wicked look forward to thenext episode ❤100

I love how so many footages are from Canada, and especially Quebec

Well…I got to live a very exciting childhood. My father was a drummer in bands at the time, I was 13, able to play. My father’s band needed a fill in bass player for the night. It was for the Angels at one of their compounds. Two days long. I played music with my father for five years after that. All in Angel bars, poker runs, benefits, you name it. I was way ahead of my classmates during this time.😂 I miss you dad

you just know how much they are kissing each other in their free time

Intro long as hell smh

Mr. Pietro Poletti has an awesome voice :D I love it!!! (He starts talking at @26:00)

So the rest of the series is only going to be available on not youtube?

these guys are kind of fuckin lame

Is there a part 2

I used to love this channel. Now, its nothing but ads for programs were in the middle of watching and click bait. Useless.

26:17 THAT FREAKING VOICE .... DAMNNNN a man's voice which is this grave with impending grace ... Is lethal

I can’t help but recognise Sons of Anarchy characters in the majority of these guys

You could offer them ginger ale and marshmallows as a sign of friendship, and they’ll let you join

I was 10 years old and riding in my mother's VW bug on a ferryboat. We were behind a group of Hells Angels and the horn on her car was beeping by itself. At first, they must've thought we were beeping repeatedly at them. One guy walked up to us, and I predicted trouble. My mother showed the horn was going off by itself. He asked her to unlock the hood. Once inside, he disconnected the horn and made everyone happy. I think this displays their true colors.

Why do we glorify those bound for hell? The toughest of these guys will shake and tremble and cry for mercy before the Most High God!

Windows shook and rattled when they road in numbers back in the day . Now they barely around cause wearing colours/patches gives the power of the state reason to get up in their grill

Whats the song name in minute 2.11?

Good doc.

I was about 10 and with my dad who was at gas stn with car and one came over and started talking to me. He was one of the nicest people I'd ever met at that point! Had this massive Harley bike.

People who 'play by their own rules' invariably create the rules in their own favour.

VICE FINALLY UR GOING TO UR OLD WAYS WIT ALL THIS GOOD SHOWS 💯💯💯💯

Good doco 👍

Well done Vice ..you guys still got it

Love how vice editors are really glorifying this gang

This is like watching the discovery channel now

When does the next episode come out?

If you're interested in learning more about them, Hunter S. Thompson, my writing hero, lived with the Hell's Angels for about 6 months and wrote a book about the experience called, "Hell's Angels." If you want to learn more about Hunter Thompson, one of the best docs I've seen about him is called, "Gonzo." It mentions this stay with them as well. If you don't know who Hunter is, he also wrote the book "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas," Johnny Depp played him in the film adaption. Excellent book and I loved the film as well.

When did vice become discovery channel?

Nurget turned into a goul from fallout

Is there gonna be a second episode?

Been waiting on a doc on them. All you find on yt is text to speech vids and short clips about the ha

They definitely were feared. When they very publicly let it be known they had a hit out on Mick Jagger they got their money. I dont have any clue who and why they thought it would be a good idea to hire a freaking violent motorcycle gang to be security at a concert...

song name?

Ty for uploading these videos . They are really interesting.

I grew up around some Hell's Angels they terrified me. I was a young teenager in the 70s.

Somehow this feels like a library book I forgot to return in 6th grade...

Who tf ok'd that intro lmao 🤣

Waiting for part 2

Sonny was a family friend and always friendly.

The guy on the left in the thumbnail, looks like Volodymyr Zelenskyy with long hair xd

I heard they were so tuff that they violently made out and kissed eachother, and that anyone who was uncomfortable at the sight, would be beaten to death. Kinda weird....

good timing on this, Bike Week has turned into Bike month or even Bike summer lol Love being in NH.

South Park already told me what I needed to know about these guys.

It’s such a fallacy that the mafia didn’t deal drugs. Lucky Luciano had a heroin dealing conviction. Carmine Gallante was moving tons of heroin through Montreal in the 50s. The French Connection in the 60s, the pizza connection in the 70s and 80s. Vic and Gas were major drug traffickers, the Cherry Hill Gambino too. Long John Martorano was a huge meth dealer. The mafia were always and have always been drug dealers. Anyone that says otherwise is trying to promote an idea that Italian organized crime had more scruples and morals than other criminals, they did not.

Had potential back in the day but theyre nothing but mules for actual organized crime and even street gangs. Loud ass bikes and equally loud vests, some even indicating your rank is the one of the dumbest things you can do as a modern criminal organization. But those two things are important to their identity and culture and for recruiting that they cant back out. Im sure the more intelligent members thought about changing it and move without it but the masses wont.

Another banger

Part 2 please!?

Bunch of children! Seriously... Grown men who have a "club" with secrets,etc... They are violent and they are adults, but they have the emotional maturity of a 5 year old... 🙄

No opinion. Not my world. Good documentary.

Some things never change
