The Hell’s Angels Motorcycle Club has been around for decades, but only after they got the attention of the public and law enforcement, the biker club has been nothing short of controversial. Many claim that the group is nothing more than a gang, but the Angels flat out deny that claim time and time again.
The club has earned a, albeit negative, reputation in media and popular culture, due to high-profile raid and wars on its various national subgroups. The club also owes some gratitude to ‘Gimme Shelter,’ a 1970 documentary about the infamous riot during a Rolling Stones concert.
