Definitely mixed in and up in the excellent documentary Dig!, which profiles both bands and their ambitious frontmen in particular. Newcombe and the Brian Jonestown Massacre come off better in that one (perhaps the argument could be made that it's largely due to the filmmakers' intent to mythologize him) but no one is portrayed as particularly sane.

Neither of these two bands do anything for me, though, honestly. The Warhols record you single out is among my most reviled albums that I've unfortunately had repeated exposure to. I get why folks have a taste for this stuff, but I must've been born without that particular pleasure center because it always strikes me as ugly, grating, and contrived.
