BassAgent Posted December 10 Share Posted December 10 I'd like to find some more good and relatively unknown music documentaries, so let's make it a topic to collect them. At the moment, I'm watching "One Hand Don't Clap", a 1986 film about Caribbean Calypso. Beautiful. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Man Riva Posted December 10 Share Posted December 10 Might not fall into the lesser known category, but Muscle Shoals is well worth watching… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted December 10 Share Posted December 10 (edited) Hired Gun . Some kind of monster. ( If you disliked James and Lars, you would probably detest them now 🙂) The Jason Becker documentary is very moving .. The Hawkwind BBC 4 Documentary , and Fleetwood Mac ones are great also Edited December 10 by RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casapete Posted December 10 Share Posted December 10 ‘20 feet from Stardom’, a 2013 film all about the lives of backing singers. Very watchable and gives a great insight into the world of singers who perform with many famous bands. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itu Posted December 10 Share Posted December 10 One of my all time favourites is Flamenco by Carlos Saura. 100 minutes of incredible music and musicians. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveXFR Posted December 10 Share Posted December 10 Some Kind Of Monster Following Metallica through the recording of an album. Cringe a minute car crash viewing. I don't understand why they decided to release it, they all come out of it looking terrible. Grab a beer and some popcorn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezbass Posted December 11 Share Posted December 11 (edited) Started watching Everything is Possible on the BBC yesterday. I’m a Simple Minds fan so it was always going to appeal, but this seems really well done so far, Jim Kerr & Charlie Burchill always interview well. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0025ynx/simple-minds-everything-is-possible Edited December 11 by ezbass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Blank Posted December 12 Share Posted December 12 Another vote here for King Rocker, sublime. 22 hours ago, RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE said: The Bros documentary BBC4 I believe my learned friend is referring to Bros: After the Screaming Stops, I watched this when it was first aired in 2018 and posted about it during transmission... ...I was kind of half way through doubled over with laughter when I realised the absolute tragedy of the poor twins delusion. Complete car crash viewing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
