Music documentaries

[SteveXFR]

NOLA is about the history of the metal music scene in Louisianna. It's mostly around bands including Down, Corrosion Of Conformity, Crowbar, Eyehategod and Acid Bath. An interesting history of where the music comes from, the people and the events. Some of it gets pretty dark

I'll definitely give this a go, thank you! I dwelt in that scene for most of my 20s. I've had it up to here with Philip but I'm guessing he's all over this 😄

I'm afraid he is and his ego comes out on occasions but there's also a lot with Pepper Keenan and Mike Williams from Eyehategod and the singer from Acid Bath who's name I forget.

ill have a watch as well. Pretty much same as you spent most of musicainhood in this scene. i remember,  think it was the underworld in 2000, Crowbar supported by EHG and soilent green. pretty intense

I really loved the 'Look Through Any Window' documentary about The Hollies which I watched randomly, and I have been a fan of the band ever since!  Conversely, I watched 'When Blondie Came To Britain' which made me decide that I firmly do not like that band!

I saw the Hollies doc recently on Sky Arts - really good and very comprehensive.

A great band, somewhat overlooked due to the Beatles and Stones I think.

Definitely, the harmonies especially are easily on a par with the Beatles and I loved how they were among the first bands credited with using backing tracks live!

 

Side note - I never really got the hype about the Stones but of course I live in a different era.  Some great tunes no doubt, but their live performances from back in the day are trashy at best.  I saw them live in 2010 ish and was rather underwhelmed.

Might I recommend Walking in The Opposite Direction   https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6139984/

 

 

It's a study of Adrian Borland and The Sound

 

 

 

 

 

 

The same production team has been producing a documentary about us for the past 2 years (!). I have no idea when it will be released, hopefully later this year.

This is a documentary on YouTube from one day of the studio sessions for the Netflix comedy film, 'Bank Of Dave 2'.

Media composer, Christain Henson', videoed some bits and pieces, including the scoring and him getting stressed out. It's about 35 minutes long.

There is a bit of swearing here and there:

If you're a rock or punk rock fan then One Nine Nine Four is brilliant.

The Anvil documentary 

A classic. 100%

[PaulThePlug]

Good one on the Rockfield studio

I highly recommend Genghis Blues to anyone who will listen. Filmed on a shoestring budget by an excellent band of nutters, who took blind blues singer Paul Pena to Tuva (northern border of Mongolia) to take part in a festival of their music.

I don't know which I enjoyed more, the incredible collision of music styles or the friendship that blossoms between the two main guys. Very moving indeed.

At present you can see it for free on YouTube.

Anyone who watched the Muhammad Ali documentary "When We Were Kings" and, like me, was both knocked out and frustrated at the brief glimpses of the concert which happened in Zaire during the days prior to the Rumble in the Jungle, should take a look at this. I haven't watched it all yet, but there seems to be more of the behind the scenes stuff than the actual concert, but interesting, nontheless.
