mcnach Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Nice watch, thanks for the heads up. A little too focused on a specific handful of guys/girls that I didn't relate much to particularly (except one or two), but it was still a very interesting and entertaining documentary.

BigRedX Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Intersting insomuch as I was surprised by how few of the musicians interviewed hadn't been "screwed over" by their employers. Maybe there were plenty with less charitable things to say about the "stars" they played with that could not be included for legal reasons? However I though it was much too long. Under an hour would have made a much tighter documentary and nothing important to the main narrative would have to have been left out. Ultimately it re-enforces my opinion that the musicians who do well out of the music business are the ones who also write and/or produce the popular songs. Not the guitarists who play the killer solos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main thing I learnt from it was that I'm now glad I didn't make it. I really don't belong in that world. Massive props to those who dived in and managed to swim. Yeah it's not for everyone. I would have been a perfect match for it. Now I'm too old for it. Blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluewine Posted December 21, 2017 Author Share Posted December 21, 2017 I'm willing to bet Liberty pushed Billy to far. Blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivansc Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Just saw something online that referred to this film and said Phil Chen was featured. Biggest Jamerson freak on the planet and a great player upright and electric. I may have to actually pay to watch this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merton Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Watched it a couple of nights ago, it all became clear when I realised Jason Hook was an executive producer or something. There were so many guys it could have featured and ultimately you’ll never please everyone. FWIW I enjoyed it on the whole, the missus didn’t enjoy the fret wankery as much as me though, but she learned a bit about Randy Rhoades so can’t all be bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzmanb Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Enjoyed it Couple of points to comments, Not everyone who will watch is a muso so "i knew that already" goes out the window.Its a good peep into a world normal punters probably don't think about.The show off jam sessions i thought were good,again its saying "we can turn up plug in and do this !" BJ does appear ruthless but i think at some point solo guys think i need a change some new people to bounce off.He could of done it better but hey. it was quite a small bunch it focused on but how many do you talk to? I've seen docs about the Bacarrach guys etc before ,Osbourne etc,then docs about Zappas guys and Peter Gabriels guys .The BBC just did a one about Slick with Bowie and the Stones's guys and Wendy and lisa so its looks like we'll get a big picture over various programmes. I'm doing my Hired hand this weekend with two gigs ,i'll get about 30 of the 100 plus gigs they have in for 2018.Be nice to get a few more but it does me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
