I rewatched the amazing Centuries of Torment documentary the other night as I am going to see Cannibal this Friday I needed something to get me excited about it and watching this has not only got me excited but has also reignited my interest in the band. I always liked them but sort of dropped off after Kill was released but would still attend shows any time they played and I was able to go. I am liking some of newer songs from the most recent albums that are in the current setlist.
I always hated music documentaries but after watching this when it first came out it completely changed that point of view for me they did such a great job on it and I remember everyone on the old forum praising it when it was released.
I am looking for any other black / death documentaries from bands that are good if anyone knows of any? Or even any other interesting metal ones.
I remember the first part of the Kataklysm one being good even if it was only to find out what went wrong after Temple of Knowledge not really interested in that band after the mighty Sylvain was forced to leave.
I also have the recent Death on my watch list which also seemed to be highly praised on MI, just haven't gotten around to watching it yet.
Sodom had one out years ago I remember thinking was really good, might have been called Sodom & Depravity?
Lords of Depravity? I recall me and one of the boys buying it for another one of the lads for his birthday... We got it delivered to my mate's gaff (he wouldn't be into metal) so his missus text him one day when he was at work why a DVD called "Sodom: Lords of Depravity" just popped through the letterbox 😁
Thanks never been into Sodom but will check it out.
Not really into Sodom but that doc is decent, thorough and also about 3 hours long! The Death one was enjoyable but I found it felt a bit sanitised and lacking any kind of deep analysis of Chuck, the band or any of their work. Maybe some less biased people (not Chucks family) might have made a better film
There was an Autopsy one a few years back if I remember correctly?Nothing revelatory but worth a gander.
Thanks will check that out I think I even may have seen bits of it before and that reminds me I need to listen to some Autopsy haven't listened to them in ages.
I watched the Death documentary last night and enjoyed it. I forgot Chris was the drummer on Scream Bloody Gore. They were all very respectful to him even though he seemed like such a diva but I guess his family wouldn't have let the documentary go ahead if it was the other way. It was a shame to see him turning his back on what made the band great and insisting on making the control denied album / changing direction on the last 2 Death albums.
Is the Death DTA tour going to come back at any stage or is it finished? I remember those gigs in the Academy being brilliant and the vocalist even looked like Chuck. Going by the DVD I can't imagine Chuck would have approved of the DTA tours.
The Cannibal Corpse one is brilliant,you dont have to be a fanatic to enjoy it.I think its about 3 hours long.
The Death one i really enjoyed,Chuck was some cunt id say!
Always been put off by the sheer length of that CC but all this praise of it has it back on my radar, prob get the dvd on Amazon so I actually have to sit down and watch it. In about four sittings.
I watched the CC one recently having not listened to them in years and expecting to turn it off after an hour. I watched the whole thing in one go. It's up on YouTube. The early footage is so cool.
Watched two and a half hours of it last night, and I'm absolutely not a fan of the band. Webster always comes across great in any interviews I'd seen before though, and here absolutely the same.
It was great the way they were able to get to Chris Barnes in for it as well. I think they all came across great in it and seem like genuinely nice people who are very appreciate of the fans.
Yeah but Barnes isn't in one scene with anyone other than Rob Barrett ;D
Seems cool in that documentary but he's a deeply bitter bloke in real life. Comes across as an Alan Partridge type really who despises anyone bringing up the topic of Cannibal Corpse, though seems happy enough to talk about it himself when it suits.
Sounds like a bit of a kindred spirit Cryptic! :abbath:
;D
I've no problem talking about Cannibal Corpse.
"A Dying God" in an enjoyable, if miserable, trek through the end of Celtic Frost
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgG7cjXJRaE
I watched the Amon Amarth documentary awhile back and really enjoyed it.
I forget the name of it now, worth the watch anyway
Got through the first hour or so of the Cannibal Corpse one earlier, good stuff alright. Very thorough but doesn't feel like it's just overloading you with information
Another great thing about the Cannibal doc is it reminds us how shit they are now. 2 hours dedicated to history and stories behind the first four records. Vile and Gallery get about 5 mins each then the rest get a nod. Probably because the band themselves don't know the difference between them.
Will check out some of the other recommendations as well thanks.
Currently watching the Sodom. The 80's -90's will be interesting such a same the entire thing is subtitled and the vocalist spits out about 30 words a second when he speaks making it hard to follow what he is saying.
The Black Dahlia Murder documentary Fool Em All is great. Follows them simultaneously loving and hating everything they do while on the Warped Tour
Last Days Here, the Pentagram documentary, is gnarly. Even amongst rockumentaries it's genuinely shocking the depth of drug depravity in it. Proper "how is this bag of bones still animated?" stuff.

Was never into The Black Dahlia Murder or Primordial so I don't think I can watch those.
Yeah saw the Pentagram one back when it was released it's horrible I couldn't sit through it again to see a grown man behaving like that and I know a lad who if you replace crack with drink and cut out the mother beating then he is just a young version of Bobby.
I haven't listened to Amon Amarth in over 10 years but I downloaded the documentary and will watch it once I get a chance.
I think I recommended this on the old MI forum but "Such Hawks, Such Hounds" is a good watch;
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkdmwKXNXAQ
"American Hardcore" is also worth watching;
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWrK7rC2dBo
I finally managed to watch "Last Days Here" to the end. Bobby Liebling is a disaster of a human being and a scumbag to boot. Shame cos some of the music is pretty decent.
Remember watching the Pentagram one a while back, honestly surprised he's still alive at this point
Does he still have a band together now that he's out of jail or was him getting locked up the end of it?

Pretty sure John is done with them permanently.
I watched The Godfathers Of Hardcore (Agnostic Front documentary) last night, pretty interesting though I'm not the biggest fan of the band.
Just finished Such Hawks, Such Hounds, an overview of the whole 'stoner' rock thing, without going too deeply into any of the bands. Not bad, hardly essential.
Had a look at Lemmy on Netflix over the weekend. A pretty dire and clueless look at a rock n roll legend. Snippets of talking heads with Slash, Duff, Ozzy, Alice Cooper.... and Billy Bob Thornton?! Everyone talking about how much he epitomizes rock n roll because he drinks and snorts and wears cowboy boots. It's like they reached the halfway point and realised they hadn't actually given any background on the man's life so they started filling that in. Pretty much a waste of time, I thought. Disappointing.
i enjoyed the Lemmy documentary, watched it again on next flix and noticed they snipped loads of scenes out of the original, most obvious was him talking and showing all his Nazi/WW2 memorabilia!
came across this documentary once of the best Metallica docs ive seen, very informative and so well put together lets hope, he makes a few more of these.

It's a great documentary, but Netflix took a shitload out of it for some reason. The Blu-ray is worth getting as the second disc or extended bits has more interesting stuff on it.
For rock stuff, Beyond the lighted stage is the Rush doc, it's very good. Also, Ain't in it for my health is deadly. It's about Levon Helm, singer and drummer with the Band, in his latter years. Tough old boy.
The Other One on Netflix is a good watch.
Lot of decent BBC ones on Youtube too.
I watched the Krautrock one last night, pretty good. That one is interesting from a cultural point of view too.
That's brilliant alright. I'd also recommend Kraftwerk And The Electronic Revolution, a 3-hour documentary about Kraftwerk and their legacy in particular, and Krautrock and its influence in general.
I watched the ZZ Top one on Netflix last night. It's alright, a decent overview but didn't go too deep into their lives or personalities. Worth a look.
Just spotted that Slave to the Grind is available in full here:
https://metalinjection.net/video/grindcore-documentary-slave-to-the-grind-now-streaming-free-to-keep-occupied-while-in-isolation

The ZZ Top one was a big disappointment. It's covers through to Eliminator and stops there. It doesn't mention anything after 1985. Utterly pointless, unless it's only Part One and Part Two is on the way.
That being said, Frank Beard talking about drugs was very, very funny.
The period covered suited me, though. Everything post-Eliminator has been shite.
At least Carcass were in it , albeit briefly, and there was a bit of a brawl, but Jesus, the amount of shit and spastics in Slave to the Grind!
Michael Hutchence - Mystify. Good in depth doc. About the same amount of good music as the former too :)
Iggy Pop and Josh Homme's American Valhalla on now on YouTube for free...
https://youtu.be/oknb3ihNivU
Not really metal now, but watched the Eagles documentary the other day which is excellent for anyone who hasn't seen it. Definitely one of the best and in depth ones I've seen on a band. Clocks in around 3 hours though, one for a few cans 😄
I watched the Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers one (Runnin' Down A Dream) last night, guts of four hours that one. Brilliant stuff though.
I watched two hours of the Petty one. May finish it this week now. It is excellent! I find prime is decent for music documentaries
Sone good stuff there alright, I watched the 6 part Grateful Dead one over the weekend. It was alright, I'm not a fan of the band but it held my interest. I never realised Garcia was a smackhead, it didn't seem in keeping with his public persona.
Just came across the Cathedral documentaries from the Forest Of Equilibrium and The Ethereal Mirror reissues, hadn't seen them. They're alright, done on a fiver's budget as you'd expect from Earache (it's Dorrian, Jennings, Griff and Lehan chatting around a pub table), worth a look for the history of the band and the odd anecdote.
FOE: https://youtu.be/jYGXrgl1t70
TEM: https://youtu.be/N8XTi06inUo
I just watched the Forest of Equilibrium one. Cool documentary.
Just watched the Swans documentary (Where Does A Body End?), very good watch. Gira's a lot more affable than I'd expected but just as focussed and intense when it comes to the music. I need to go back and get the albums I never got around to picking up now, such a decent body of work, something for every mood.
Is it up online?
Not for streaming, that I could find anyway. Got it from YTS.

Watched those there and found them very enjoyable. Would love to be in a band with lads as down to earth as that. They know what they're about like

Norwegian series that's been comming out the last few weeks on Enslaved, haven't watched them all yet but each episode so far has been an enjoyable watch:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIGlN57sXqI&t=552s
It's a great watch.
Swans - Where Does A Body End
Jaysis...what a one of a kind band. The amount of people interviewed in it saying they had no words to describe their early live shows -- coupled with the great live archive footage of those years -- says it all really.
Heavier than any metal band in my opinion, they're tapping into something different entirely.
It's brilliant, I got the extended cut in the post yesterday. Second disc of bonus material too, looking forward to spinning that.
Just watched the Gibson Icons Kirk Hammett episode. I really enjoy this series, the Iommi one is great. Listening to Kirk Hammett for over an hour is difficult.
I've a few beers bought for this evening so I'm going to catch up on the last few episodes of the Enslaved documentary. I've watched the first four and so far it's great. Really down to earth dudes with sound parents too :laugh:
Been watching a tonne of those on Youtube the last few days. What a great bunch. Led me to this vid of Grutle's favourite albums. No wonder his music strikes such a note with me.
https://youtu.be/EVFi5K6y9v0
I also enjoyed some of their views on music and particularly BM where they talk about the respect for the art as opposed to the individual, which the 'stardom' aspect muddied subsequently. They talk about it here at around 16 mins..very cool. I think.their way of looking at music is a big reason why I am subconsciously drawn to them. With many other groups from the same 'genre', the individual/stardom factor seems to be the overriding focus despite claims to the contrary. There's something very pure in what they do, or at least did, from my perspective.
https://youtu.be/vHLKpiFVrSo
It all boils down to music but I'm all for a few nutty rock stars and infamous anti- heroes too 8)
Yeah so am I, who am I fooling :laugh: :abbath:

Music for dry shites.

I saw that when it was released. Jaysus it was grim and no harm it was taken down, hahaha...
Is it as bleak as the one on Pentagram? Harrowing stuff that, yer man Bobby is a mess
Far worse than the Pentagram one I would say. Although my heart absolutely broke for Bobby's parents to be fair.
Just spent the evening watching the Enslaved docs. Can only echo what's been said above, they seem like genuinely sound heads who're all about the music. Looking forward to the next few.
Watching that now myself. Very enjoyable so far. The two lads really seem like the best of mates. Pure music nerds too.
Amon Amarth.....
https://youtu.be/6TvO55esfqU
That Amon Amarth one is decent now. Where are ye watching the Enslaved one lads?
https://youtu.be/mIGlN57sXqI
Episode 1 there. Think there's 5 parts in total.
There's 7 available with another 5 scheduled so far.
Read somewhere that I think there's to be 12 episodes in total coming out each Saturday, but there was a break over Christmas. Hopefully they'll kick off again this week

Just watched a very enjoyable Zappa documentary. As his wife quite rightly states early on, he was a composer.
Been looking forward to watching that. This weekend, thanks for the reminder.
I watched it a couple of weeks ago, a good watch. I'm not a fan of his music by any means (though I love Freak Out!), but he was an interesting character.
New Enslaved episode out today.
I do know there's "Lords of Chaos", but that's more of a movie. It's based off of the truth and lies.
Just watching the latest Enslaved one there, finally identified a song that I've had rattling around my head for years (Slaget I Skogen Bortenfor). I'm not a black metal fan bar a few bits & pieces, but that's a cracking tune.

Watching it now, they're all as nuts as each other TBH, all that 'majick' shite. The style is very annoying, all that snap editing, and the interviews look and sound like they were done on phones. Old ones. It's interesting for sure, but badly made. I'm half an hour into it and it feels like two hours.
Still, cheers for the heads up.
2nd edit: They're all lunatìcs. It could have been an hour and a half long if you cut out all the magic bollocks. Interesting in terms of the facts and timeline but after that...
Yea, the pyramid bit is quality. I got a good laugh out of some of it

Yeah really enjoyed the whole series, the early tour stories were gas. I was starting to think it was a shame they were going to finish up around Eld, but I guess it's a bands beginnings that are usually the most interesting.
Can't recommend it highly enough, either. A lot of love went into it, from what I can tell. A local station that's proud of hometown boys who made it. And the two guys' general enthusiasm and affability makes it. I hope it gets a physical release, I'd watch it again and I'd imagine there'd be plenty of unused material.

I loved every second of this, so many twists and turns on top of the hilarity!
Watched 11 episodes of the Enslaved documentary, get to the last one tonight. I never knew how experimental they were. I seen them play here yonks ago with Zyklon. Must be nearly 15 years ago now. Jaysus ha ha
Ya, it was September 06. That was the best I saw them. Unreal gig.
Short documentary from norwegian tv of Fenriz talking about hiking and the outdoors, I really enjoyed this one as I've been getting into a bit of hiking recently myself and related to some of what he says in this.

Absolute shoe-string stuff from this very recent overview of Swedish hard rock and metal from 1970 to 1993. Watched the first half last night though, and definitely threw up a few unknown groups I wouldn't mind checking out. Tbh, that's its only real interest, but worth it at that:
https://youtu.be/w88R-5DbDk8
I watched the Amon Amarth one last night. They seem very likeable. That summer breeze live album is killer. Their old drummer has now apologised for all he said in the media about them so that's nice!
Not really band documentaries per se but The Defiant Ones and Clive Davis: Soundtrack to Our Lives are both excellent. The Defiant Ones focuses on the separate careers of Dr Dre and Jimmy Iovine up to when they converge (4-part series). The Clive Davis one is very similar to the Jimmy Iovine stuff and is also an interesting look at the life of a music impresario and businessman as opposed to a musician or band.
Both on Netflix (here in Canada anyway, but I'd presume back home too).
Enjoyed The Defiant Ones so will check out the Clive Davis one. Supermensch is another good one in that vein.
Not really documentary but perhaps fits in here, anyone been watching these Brian Johnson interviews on youtube? Forget what the series is called. The AC/DC frontman shooting the breeze with likes of Lars Ulrich and Robert Plant. Johnson might not be the deepest interviewer in the world but the episodes are worth a gander.
Saw the Dave Grohl one. Loved Johnson. He sounds like he walks and an all round nice fella. Will check out more of them.
Here's the Lars interview : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvbcJNIznT8
Some good perspectives on the famous Moscow concert in there somewhere, the Dave Grohl one doesn't seem to be there anymore. Also an interesting Joe Elliot interview though I am not the biggest Def Leppard fan, they do an interview in Temple Bar (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufrDE5jvgCQ)
Cheers. The Dave Grohl one is up there. Was a Brian Johnson page with no other vids.
The one with Sting is worth a watch if you want to see the incarnation of "smug".
Anthrax have a series about the history of the band, an episode a day I think, with 40 in total. Up to 10 at the moment. Interesting viewing, done on Zoom with variable talking heads (Corey Taylor's some flute):
https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFdcG9gTDhXx7cVlxItyN-yioVPYPQGT4
Corey Taylor just seems to be one of those people that pops up everywhere and chimes in in everything. Himself, Dee Snyder and Serj what's his name give their 2 cents on anything going.
Taylor in particular comes across as a candidate for ultra mega kill death.
Having said that there is a part of me that would have loved to hear him in Anthrax and Velvet Revolver.
Not sure if already posted but the Enslaved documentary "Heimvegen" is pretty good from what Ive watched so far.
12 episodes.
Some great suggestions so far.

Anthrax have a series about the history of the band, an episode a day I think, with 40 in total. Up to 10 at the moment. Interesting viewing, done on Zoom with variable talking heads (Corey Taylor's some flute):

40 episodes? I thought it was just up until 'Persistence..' which is where Joey left, cos they don't talk much about the John Bush era at all, it might as well not exist. Was surprised to see Henry Rollins in this though like Corey Taylor, he's in everything now too. Never would have pegged him as an Anthrax fan though 🤔.

That's a good one. Might fire it on here now.
Watched the first half of Mean Man about Chris Holmes last night. Its interesting enough that I'll watch the rest later but nothing spectacular. Although I was never much of a WASP fan so that could be why it's not really gripping me

Well the series is called 40 For 40, in line with the band's 40th anniversary, so I'm assuming there'll be 40 episodes, maybe not. Either way, it's much more interesting than I'd exoected so far, I spent a couple of hours watching the first 10 the other night.
Watched the Jason Becker "Not Dead Yet" documentary during the week. Had it downloaded for ages and only got around to it now as I'm laid up at the minute.
Interesting enough watch.
Obviously talented young fella, but fuck me ALS ravaged him quick when it took hold. Cruelly cut down in his prime.

I fucking LOVE W.A.S.P. and Chris especially. Have seen his band live in Drogheda before corona hit. I was thrilled to finally see the man live, while on the other hand, it was quite sad to see him in front of 25 people in the audience.

Nice one for that Carnage. I watched a bit of the first episode last night, it flows really nicely. I'm looking forward to catching up with the rest, and a live stream on 16th July, grand job.
Yeah, considering it's all done on Zoom and with old footage, it works really well.

Well worth returning to watch if seen already, all in all hilarious and tearful at the same time. Hopefully since the comeback he´s left that flipping rubber skull belt back in the wardrobe ;D
Not exactly metal, not exactly any one thing really, but I just saw that Edgar Wright has directed a documentary about Sparks. Didn't see that one coming!

Apologies if it's already in the thread but any good films/docs on Led Zeppelin? Either whole career or single album/period based?
Honestly, no. An authorized doc is supposedly in the making, but there's been no update in a while: https://bestclassicbands.com/led-zeppelin-documentary-5-8-21/
There are quite a lot of nice insights in It Might Get Loud, but obviously only from a Page perspective. And you could watch the Robert Plant episode of Brian Johnson's recent show. But overall, there's nothing much of interest out there, just your typical blah-blah-blah made for telly type unofficial affairs.
Watched the ZZ Top one earlier, pretty decent but could have done with going into their relationship a bit more. No other band lasted 50 odd years together with the same lineup so I'd assumed it would be a big part of it, but just got glossed over at the end
I started watching the Anthrax documentary episodes and love it. Only 8 episodes in. I think there's 40
Been meaning to check them out. Must get the ol finger out.
I don't think it'll get to 40, the one on Worship Music was no. 23. They're worth a watch alright, every major player involved has their say and it's generally positive. No Dan Nelson though!

Also, nothing so far about Frank Bello's stint in Helmet .
It was briefly mentioned alright, I can't remember what episode.
Not a specific band, but HBO's new Woodstock 99 doc - which is pretty much nu metal at its zenith - is worth a watch.
Really reconfirmed for me the notion that blaming Fred Durst for starting that riot was a disgrace. He probably could have communicated better between songs, but ultimately the organisers let him get on with the set. What was the guy going to do, drop his gimmick entirely and start doing Hawkwind tunes?
It's a decent watch. Harrowing, though. None of that schadenfreude fun you got with the Fyre stuff. It's a proper tonic for killing off late 90s nostalgia.

The narrative I'd always heard was that he was to blame alright - how come Anthony Kiedis never got a bad rap after being asked to tell the crowd to stop lighting shit on fire and instead playing "fire" by Jimi Hendrix? Very good documentary but a terrible indictment of the United States as a country tbh.
Thanks for the rec on that Woodstock 99 doc, it made for perfect break viewing today. Have to say though, as interesting as it was, by the end of it I felt I might break some shit myself if I heard one more stretched beyond the limit woke take on why what happened happened. The organizers should have known that with the bands they were billing they would need to up security, proper security, and - of course - if your amenities collapse, your crowd are going to be pissed off. But, from that, you can't conclude, as happens over and over again in the doc, that the only possible outcome of a festival with metal bands playing is chaos. I mean, as weird in itself as the protracted ad for Coachella was at the end, no one thought to mention the countless nu-style metal bands that have played at that, including RATM the very same year!
Anyway, it was fun and unexpected to see Mustaine spit on Lars over Napster, although that the Napster bit was included made me think they were going to show some frat-boys marching about bellowing "FUCK LARS!" No such luck.

The journalist from Spin who tried to wrap everything in a sociology sandwich? She got on my nerves as well watching it.
I said it to herself during our viewing, it was quite scientific what happened, a lot of it. You can hum and haw about why these young fellas wanted to rip down the staging, but fundamentally you
let
them get to your staging. No control. The chief organiser came across like a right prick as well.
Watching the ZZ Top one on Netflix. I got halfway through and I'll finish it tomorrow. I'm enjoying it even though I know next to nothing about their music. They seem like good dudes.
Enjoyed the ZZ Top documentary.
Will have to check out the Woodstock 99 one. Had a load of sets from that taped from Network 2. Korn, RATM, Metallica and a few others.

Not just the journalist from Spin, also the one from the NYT, and Moby, and at least one of the other main commentators. I mean, sure, Durst comes off as a complete dose too, but, well, that's not exactly a scoop :laugh:
Dya see his new look? Bizarre paedo chic.
Yup. Seems a fairly logical progression.
I woke up this morning with a mash-up of a song by Anacrusis and Break Stuff in my head. Interesting mental musical state.

Moby is fucking insufferable. Have you seen the recent documentary (Moby.doc)? I didn't realise until I watched it that he was the driving force behind it, and the levels of smugness and self satisfaction are off the scale. It's bizarre that it got released at all, it's so bad.
Broken Hope Documentary is a decent watch even if you're not a fan. [url]https://www.google.com/search?q=broken.hope.documentary&oq=broken.hope.documentary&aqs=chrome..69i57.9295j0j7&client=ms-android-samsung-ss&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8#/url]
Watched that Rammstein documentary Amerika yesterday. An entertaining watch all round, with some unusual talking head appearances. Fuckin' Moby again!
Actually kinda interesting, compared to the Woodstock '99 doc, since they talk a fair bit about their '98/'99 Family Values tour with Korn and Limp Bizkit, but which is all presented in a totally positive light. Again, goes to show, shit preparation was really the culprit that Woodstock weekend.
The Gibson Icons series has been good so far. Dave Mustaine's one was uploaded yesterday.

Will give that a go. Enjoyed the Hammett and jerry Cantrell ones, despite neither having a whole lot to do with Gibson guitar-wise.
Watched it this morning. Mustaine talking Megadeth history for an hour, watchable. The most impressive thing about it is how he manages to go through the entire history of the band without once, not a single time, mentioning current persona non grata. Mental and typically pathetic behavior from him. Had a wank? Well, now you no longer exist.

Ya i picked up on that too. I guess if you watched their Behind the Music episode that came out years ago it had more details, but for what it was the Icons thing was grand...nothing that new really.
That said, im looking forward to hearing their new album - Dystopia really had some strong stuff on there (which was a surprise for me given their weak output since System has Failed I thought)... hearing Dirk record with them should be cool, such a cracking drummer....

I'm by no means a big fan of Megadeth but I don't think that I have ever seen Mustaine play a Gibson in any photo. So I looked it up.
Quote from: Dave Mustaine's Wiki Page on August 20, 2021, 11:24:46 PM
As of 2021 Dave Mustaine uses Gibson Guitars.
Hmmmmmmm. Gibson Icon, my hole.
That said - Gibson make a Kiefer Sutherland signature model.
Kiefer fuckin' Sutherland.
I've watched the Mustain, Kirk Hammett and Jerry Cantrell episodes so far. Kirk is a bit of a funny fish but seems decent. Jerry just seems like a completely normal and sound dude. I don't know how Mustaine does it, but he just oozes unlikeableness. He seems so bitter. Such a gimp.
He has an air of smugness about him, not helped by his resting sneer face.
I think he's actually gotten worse over the years which is no small achievement when you consider how much of a prick he was in his heyday.
Yeah Mustaine is easily the most insufferable person out of any of the big 4 bands, people give Lars shit but he's at least capable of having a normal conversation. I don't think I've ever watched an interview with Mustaine where you could say he came across as 'sound'.
I like Lars. He's mad as fuck but seems genuine and a bit of craic.
I watched David Crosby: Remember My Name last night. Pretty good, considering I wouldn't have much interest in his music, fairly warts and all. He still has some voice for a lad who's now 80.
Has anyone watched the new Beatles series, Get Back? Managed an hour of it last night, it was fairly dull. Just wondering if it picks up as it gets closer to the band falling apart?
I've seen about half of it.
What's great to see is when John and Paul click mid song you can feel all the bullshit fall away and the chemistry is palpable.

Have watched them too, but can't help wonder why James Hetfield doesn't feature. Surely he was approached as he mainly plays Gibson......
Just finished The Beatles - Get Back. Thought it was amazing. To get such an insight into the band in their last few months is extraordinary. Was confused that they were jamming a good few tunes from Abbey Street but after checking the timeline it turns out they went in to record that a month or two later and John left at the end of that sessions. One of, if not the, most influential band of all time. Loved every second of it.
Just watched the documentary about The Velvet Underground from last year. Quality. Don't miss if you're into the band or into the origins of drone or into that whole Warhol New York scene.
Watched episode 2 of Get Back earlier, vastly superior to the first. Lennon was some twat though.

Where did ya watch that lad? Wouldn't mind watching it now. I read decent Lou Reed biography a few months back that went over the Velvet Underground. Interesting stuff
magnetdl.com
It's an Apple TV made thing, I don't know if you can get their stuff through one of the streaming services.
I watched it on bflix. Particularly loved the bit when Moe and the dancer are describing their utter disgust of hippies. They still seem passionate about it.
Watched Edgar Wright's Sparks documentary the last couple of nights. It's alright, very little about their private lives. Typical rise, fall, and rise again music biography, would obviously be more enjoyable if you were familiar with their work, which I'm not. They seem like nice enough chaps.
Watched Killing Joke - The Death and Resurrection Show last night and loved it. Dunno if it was on here that it was discussed. Leans heavily on magick and astrology etc but that just made it more enjoyable, I thought. Not enough madness anymore.
Colour me intrigued. I'll check it out.
I hated that. I'd thought Coleman was the only lunatic in the band but they all came across as gobshites.
He certainly comes across as the most batshit alright. I found the whole thing very entertaining.
If anybody is a Swans fan, I'd highly recommend trying to track down Where Does A Body End from 2019. A proper deep dive into their whole career and Gira's character in general, with great live footage from their earlier days in particular. Brutally heavy live band at times.
That's a fantastic watch, I bought the blu ray for the extended version. He's much more relaxed than you'd expect, when not working on music obviously. I highly recommend the book that came out around that time, Sacrifice And Transcendance. A nice companion to it.

Finished this the other night.
Ep. 1 - Torture. Avoid at all costs.
Ep. 2 - Fantastic. The songs and band are coming together. Overlong but interesting.
Ep. 3 - Good. Some songs have taken shape, based on the rooftop gig.
Takeaway: The band was finished long before the period covered.
George should have jumped ship long beforehand.
Lennon is (half of - Ono being the ever present, utterly pointless) an insufferable twat, whose contributions are subpar, particularly his lyrics.
McCartney is a tyrant, but rightfully so. The true talented force of the band.
Ringo was there.
I've only watched the first episode so far. Took me a while to get through, but I did enjoy it. I think it would have been better if they'd made it into more episodes, one or two days per ep, spread over 8 episodes an hour long, or whatever. I mean, it's essentially reality TV, but with a five decade delay, and happens to be about The Beatles rather than a bunch of nobodies shifting in a swimming pool. Looking forward to the second episode now anyway, after what you've said there.
I watched that Iron Maiden early years documentary on YouTube there the other day. Pretty decent now, Nicko is a mad lad altogether. Be great on the sesh ha ha
Not sure if it's been mentioned but just finished 'Slave to the grind' on youtube, pretty decent, nothing groundbreaking but an entertaining watch, covers a good mix of bands. Never heard of Deche Charged and won't be checking them out but interesting to see how insane of a concept it is to not have songs but play live.

Literally just dropped this morning - quick behind the scenes doc about the Converge/Full of HellThou/Uniform tour that just happened in the US. About to watch it now myself provided work stays quiet.
I was blasting Beneath The Remains there yesterday and it got me thinking. Why hasn't there been a documentary made about Morrisound? So many classic albums recorded there and mixed also. Perhaps some day :laugh:
There's a rather short interview with Jim and Tom it's about 20 minutes in length, worth a look.
I could be wrong but wasn't there a documentary by Obituary related to the studio, possibly to do with a kick starter campaign? Did it ever see the light of day?
I'm on a bit of a Greek BM buzz the past while and would love to watch a documentary interviewing the bands involved, both new and old.
There's a doc about the Greek tape trading scene, a couple of heads make appearances, but it's not specifically about BM or even Greek metal per se. And I don't have a link for it anyway. Has this been useful?
I'll see if I can find it in youtube before making a sarky reply :P

I didn't hear anything about the Obituary documentary, but I know an official biography of the band was released recently. It will be released in Europe next month. I reckon I'll grab a copy
I'm about 2/2½ hours into disc 2 of the Swans doc. (Where Does A Body End?). Good stuff, mainly anecdote driven.
Came across this Grindcore Doc going down a YouTube hole, worth the watch anyway.https://youtu.be/Au-QOIuI8hk (https://youtu.be/Au-QOIuI8hk)

update: oh wait, is it this "Metal From Hellas" thing?
I'd really like to see this new one about the German thrash scene in the 80s
https://totalthrash.de/en/
been revisiting a lot of that stuff of late, looks interesting.
Still haven't seen that "Blackhearts" one, can't find it anywhere and I want to laugh at cringey black metallers.
Yes, it is that Metal From Hellas thing. Proper old school scene makers.

Is it worth the watch?
I got about 20 minutes and and was pretty bored.
Watched a good one on The KLF last night on Sky Arts, Who Killed The KLF? Goes into their motivations for the music and 'art' projects over the years, worth a watch. I'd forgotten that they were on the Late Late with Gaybo and Joe bloody Elliot tutting over them burning the million quid.
I'm watching the Sonic Highways documentary series at the moment and loving it. I'm by no means a big Foo Fighters fans but this is pretty good. Basically they record each song of the album in a different town and go through the history of the music from each place. Very interesting now
Great show but the songs are cuntish. haha. Watched Echo In The Canyon the other day. Great subject matter and enjoyable but it came across as a self serving piece for Bob Dylan's equally painful son, Jakob.

Anything that exposes more people to Bad Brains is a good thing, even if it does involve the Foo Fighters. About to watch "Punk the capital" which is (Yet another) history of the DC Hardcore scene now.
Where ya watching that?
Seek and ye shall find (ie: wherever you stream things in a less than legal manner)
Speaking of Bad Brains, if it hasn't already been mentioned, I enjoyed this doc about them:
https://youtu.be/OZIx9dRuH-g
Cool, I haven't seen that. Will give it a go
I watched the Woodstock 99 documentary thereat the weekend. Ah lads, what a circus that was. Insane what went on! Highly recommend it
I saw the first half of it. Grim.
It's crazy sh*t
So badly organised, & an element of the crowd were 'mental' / scum
(Don't want to give anything away for those that have not seen it)
Keep in mind, a lot of people had a ball
But others, far from it
I was wondering - do ye reckon a lot of rapes/sexual assaults went on during the original Woodstock, but just weren't reported? I mean, no way to know I guess...also I guess the drugs were different 30 years later. Good doc but could have been an hour long I thought
The HBO one, which is only an hour or so long, touches on some of what is not usually mentioned about the original Woodstock; hundreds of overdoses, two deaths (by misadventure of one form or another), lack of facilities, food, etc. Don't know about sexual assaults, but you're probably right. For all the blame that's put on Limp Bizkit, yadda yadda, it seems pretty clear to me that if the crowd hadn't turned on the venue more than 24 hours after LB's set, burning it to the crowd and obliging the national guard to come in and shut it down, if that hadn't happened, if it had only been people crowd surfing on plywood ripped from the soundstage on the Saturday and if nothing of note had happened on the Sunday, then, tbh, there'd be no documentary and no hullabaloo being made over it, despite the shit show of the organization, and even, unfortunately, despite all the sexual assaults and rapes. In media terms, none of that is sensational enough.
Found the promoter ripping into Fred Durst for stirring things up odd, considering he didn't say a thing about the Chili Peppers coming out to play Fire for an encore. Especially when they were asked to go back out to try calm stuff down
The new Gary Numan Documentary "Resurrection" is worth the watch too for any fans. It's up on Now Tv

I suppose if you volunteer for the blame everyone will be happy to give it to you. I wonder does he (Durst) genuinely think he is at fault or is it just another way of being in the spotlight for him. I suppose who cares as well ha ha.
https://youtu.be/E036-rPDGGc
Didn't realise there was a Dio doc on the way, hopefully it's good but I'll always be happy with anything Dio related
I'll ... look out for that.
Woodstock 99 was a good watch. I don't like the way they tried to portray Fred Durst as the Antagonist, and then omit the mention (and footage) of RATM burning the fucking American flag on stage after Limp Bizkit's set!!
Also it's a bit weird that there is no mention of Metallica, the world's most commercially successful metal band, when they headlined the Saturday after RATM? Especially since one kid apparently died in a mosh pit during their set.
Metallica was Woodstock 94.
That death during Metallica is mentioned in the HBO one. But yeah, the RATM American flag burning episode not mentioned in either, which is absolutely a criminal omission for the significance it carries, generally speaking and specifically within the narrative of, y'know, burning shit instead of respecting it (not that, in general, I have a problem with flag burning as a statement... but maybe Woodstock 99 wasn't the place to do it without risking a riot).

Played 99 as well. I had their set taped.
Watched this today, a documentary about the ups and (mostly) downs of small bands touring the U.S. Not sure where I came across it, might have been in this thread, though I scanned back a few pages and no sign. Worth a look anyway, Joe Preston and Steve Albini are among the talking heads.

I watched that before, really good now
Watched the new Creedence Clearwater Revival one earlier (Travellin' Band: Creedence Clearwater Revival At The Royal Albert Hall), it was great stuff altogether. The first half hour or thereabouts is a documentary on the history of the band (they were once called The Golliwogs!), and then it switches to the gig itself. Fantastic performance, I'll be picking up the album for sure.
https://youtu.be/aSgjNffYBdo
Nice one! I'll be all over that.
Been meaning to crack into that. Went to see Fogarty with my old man a few years back. Great night.

Should be good, hopefully will touch a bit on the Belew/Levin/Bruford era.
I got a bit Woodstock 99 obsessed for a week during the summer. Watched the doc listened to some of the podcast, but felt grimy and disgusted and eventually stopped myself. But Korn's opening song Blind is one of the most intense things I have ever seen in a live setting.
I watched the Netflix 3-parter myself over the weekend. They hadn't a clue what they were at.
Not Metal, but the new documentary on Sheryl Crowe is very good. Worth watching even if not a fan
Spose it can't be that bad.

Nothing too indepth, but a decent overview of the 'scene', such as it was.
Watched the Dio one tonight. Deadly. Loads of great things about it, but one that was particularly appreciated was that it was Dan Lilker in there representing metal's extreme side.

I watched about an hour of that on Youtube a couple of weeks ago and it seems to have disappeared from there now. Where did you watch if from?
I watched the Sinéad O'Connor one, Nothing Compares last night. It was alright, covered the ground up to the Madison Square Garden booing fairly well and then just ended. Bit shite that Prince's crowd wouldn't let them use that song, though.
I watched this on the Hacienda over the weekend. Pretty good now with all the right talking heads.
Watched the King Crimson one tonight. Not what I was expecting. Odd little documentary, intriguing in places, as much psychologically as musically. Understated overall. Not sure of its appeal to non fans.

Watched th Dio and KC ones a few weeks ago. I very much got the impression that both Dio and Fripp were assholes in the pursuit of their goals. Thought both docs were enjoyable enough.
Watched one about The Rainbow bar on youtube last week. Also alright.
Found a torrent of it Necro.
Dio and Fripp both come off in their respective documentaries more or less as I was expectng them to, including the control freak dimension. Interesting though that Dio's personality comes across as more of a traditional blue collar, tradesman style work ethic mixed with old school integrity, whereas Fripp portrays himself as more of an ascetic type; discipline as an accomplishment rather than just the proper way of doing things. If I had to choose, just on an interpersonal level (i.e. lack of necessary talent to do either notwithstanding), I think I'd prefer to be in a band with Dio rather than Fripp.
That's exactly it. I think you'd stand more of chance in that one anyway.

Watched "Murder In The Front Row" last night.
It's a bit amateurish but they seem to get all the main players in to do interviews. They completely ignore or gloss over the Metallica/Mustaine split save for "Dave left Metallica and Kirk joined.".
The narration by comedian Brian Posehn does fuck all for it - apart from annoy the shit out of me because I couldn't figure out who it was and if he was trying to be serious or inject himself into the narrative.
The archival footage and photos is impressive. The scene was documented very well. Worth a watch if you have 90 minutes to kill ('em all).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0QvSqKdpYQ
It's definitely worth a watch.
Slayer didn't get as much coverage as I was expecting.
I bought the book last year expecting a lot more text. It's more of a flick through type job. The photos are great.

Could have done with having Masvidal on it, was such a weird exclusion especially since he was still doing the DTA tours around the time it was filmed
Trev, thats an interesting one. He must have turned the opportunity down..... I am off to web search it..... must be a good reason out there somewhere.
Given he avoided the buzz of Death mania which is mentioned in the doc, maybe he felt it wasn't his place artistically to pass comment? I dunno.
Yet he wrote the liner notes for the Human reissue Relapse put out.
The sound off the Human reissue, the CD...... wow! take your head off!
I have a few reissues on vinyl and they sound excellent. As for the documentary I really enjoyed it and the live show on the dvd from the Human tour
That Hipgnosis documentary, Squaring the Circle, is definitely worth a goo, watched it today.
Tell ya what.... that "Kieth Richards" documentary on Netflix is fantastic....... 100% worth a check
Some brilliant guitar playing and fantastic stories.
Ya, watched it a few years ago and enjoyed it.
I'll give the Hipgnosis one a go, I'd rather eat my balls than have anything to do with The Rolling Stones. Utter shite, bar 2 or 3 songs.
Fair warning then, from memory there is at least one random photo appearance of them in Squaring the Circle :laugh:
Watched the Dio documentary last night, it was alright. He was very hit & miss in terms of his musical output, from what I've heard over the years.
We (Strangers With Guns) filmed a half baked documentary/tour diary yoke
I saw "Mutiny In Heaven" the Birthday Party one with some friends last night. I enjoyed it for the most part but felt it ended at a point where it could have continued into a bit more detail about what happened in subsequent years after the break up for the other (ie not Nick) members, particularly Tracey Pew.
Still some great live footage, and a strong reminder that man, that band were fucking incredible - brutal, scary, absolutely hellbent on realising their own vision. Really wish I'd seen them live.

I'm sure it's been discussed in this thread already, but finally got around to watching Moonage Daydream and loved it.

That Nothing But A Good Time hair metal one on Paramount Plus is worth a watch
I haven't heard of that, I must have a gander.
I watched "Welcome To The Darkness" the other night - it was enjoyable enough.
Worth it alone for Justin Hawkin's best man speech at his brother's wedding.
We Are Twisted Fucking Sister! is a great watch, even if you aren't a big fan.
It's about their early club days, leading up to when they were just about to break big.
Also, there is a great documentary about Riot called 'Fight Or Fall' on youtube.

I still like the vast majority of his stuff you won't be surprised to hear... Even a few songs from the Tracy G albums have grown on me the last few years. I still maintain that he was appalling on the classic stuff live though. Not quite as awful having to hear that noncey girl haired twat Karl Logan live mind you, but nobody is that awful.

Class, seen them going on about that on Instagram recently
Watched the Earth one the other night. Much like their music, if you're in the right mood it's intriguing, if you're not you'll be bored shitless. I do like the Super 8 look of it though.
Where dya watch that? Hell Is Full of Heroes or something, is it?
Yep. Tis on the more "under thr counter" streaming sites
Anyone bother with the Bon Jovi Documentary? At 4 episodes and almost 5hrs of your time If you've any interest I'd watch the first two episodes and call a halt to it. It's at least two hours too long and the final episode is a complete chore to get through.
I think part of the reason the latter episodes are dreadful comes down to the material, nobody gives a fuck about their 2000's + output so it's painful to see them come up with ideas on how to remain relevant (Country albums, Hot Shot Producers etc) it's like an extended some kind of monster without the drama. Though the same kind of lack of self awareness exists, anyone remember the Metallica lads creaming themselves having come up with the three note riff for Some Kind Of Monster? That and Jon's struggle with the vocal issues just come across as sad.
The first few episodes are where the action is at - some great footage from the old days right through to the commercial peak with interviews with as many parties as possible. Doc Mcghee is even in there - what a shady character! Desmond Child is also prominent, I love the first two records, they're probably the ones I'd go back to most these days when the mood takes me but it's amazing how much Child's input changed things for them. Such a gulf between what they were coming up with to when he was involved.
Good coverage of the Sambora stuff too - although you never see all parties in the same place, the interviews take place separately. Both sides tell a very different version of events.
My overriding comment on the whole thing though is how Deluded Jon is - no doubt he worked his bollocks off and is a talented bloke but he actually believes his own shtick - that someone from a working class background can achieve that kind of greatness if they "work hard and believe". It sounds great but as you watch the documentary it's evident that none of them were from that kind of background (David Bryan, Pre Med? Father owned a bunch of Warehouses, Got top end equipment by 7 years of age, violin, viola, trumpet and clarinet lessons, studied with Emery Hack - "We've got to hold on to what we've got" indeed :laugh: ) And most importantly - Jon was supremely well connected before a note of music was played. Couldn't get over the list of credits attached to the PowerStation, run by cousin Tony. Effectively a boyband in that respect, there was never a tour of the local toilets - first gig was opening for ZZ Top at Madison Square Garden - hardly Fibbers!
I've seen the trailer for it and will probably give it a go when it turns up on Disney+. Jon Bon Jovi is possibly one of the most insufferable cunts ever in rock.
It's on Disney + already Dude, dropped Friday.
That's interesting stuff re the Bon Jovi doc there, I totally bought into that 'street kids comin' good' stuff back in the day. First two albums still get regular enough spins here too, actually I'd listen to anything up to and including New Jersey, 'Slippery..' is gold from start to finish. Damn, if I still had hair I'd be rubbing some grease through it now and hitting the Strip.
QuoteThat's interesting stuff re the Bon Jovi doc there, I totally bought into that 'street kids comin' good' stuff back in the day.
Oh me too - would've doubted it more and more as time went on but it all became clear watching this. New Jersey is great, some awesome guitar work on it. I enjoy patches of Keep The Faith though you could see they were struggling identity wise, there's killer stuff on that one like Dry County but then complete rubbish that sounds like outtakes from their 80's records alongside Honky Tonk shit like Sleep When I'm Dead etc. These Days is actually worth a punt, Ritchie stripped down his sound, actually think it's one of his best performances. I'm out after that though.

Dry County is such a great song, that extended solo is absolutely brilliant
I'd be with you that These Days is the last decent effort. I picked up a couple of their latter albums €2 a piece in a charity shop, don't think I've ever made it through a full one

They are both on the Hells channel regularly doing interviews. Matt just did a 2 part one 2 or 3 weeks ago. I am going to watch this documentary over the long weekend.
Looks like a bunch more reissues are coming as well on vinyl Slaughtercult - Necrocracy.
Just on the second episode. Have never been arsed with the band. Have Slaughtercult for 20 odd years but it nevergrabbed me. Enjoyable doc so far. Must check out the demos, they sound more full on goregrind.
The first album and the Hemdale split are the best. Most people probably won't agree but the re-recording of the first album from 2015 is even better than the original in my opinion.
They have a comp with all the early splits and demos on it the vinyl version goes for stupid money but a CD version is available.
I have one of their demos from way back. Murky but the cover of Material Girl is good for a laugh.

I was just about to post this. It is being released on DVD so fair play to them for uploading it for free.
It's very good. Matt & Ross always come across as sound as fuck.
I don't listen to them but that was cool.
Yep, just finished the 3rd one. Good watch. Watching a making of one of their albums now.
I'll save this for the weekend and a few beers. Big Exhumed fan! They are essentially all nerds ha ha ha.
Watched that Exhumed doc last night, really enjoyed it. I only have two of their albums, but I'll def grab a few more now.
Must give the Bon Jovi one and Exhumed a go, will deffo save Exhumed for a few cans. The Slave to the Grind documentary about grindcore is still all on YoutTube, it is a fun watch.
Any other Death Metal band documentary recommendations lads? Not sure if it was mentioned on here, but the documentary on Autopsy is ace https://youtu.be/NUq_DV7uiew?si=co-axHtoVYTG6Dl4
I'm sure you've already seen it but the Cannibal Corpse one is a great watch, it rekindled my interest in the band after not bothering with them for a long time:

Jesse from Witches Hammer is currently working on a Blasphemy documentary. Even though I feel Blasphemy are overrated I think this documentary will be very interesting especially given that the first ever full video interviews with Black winds, Caller etc. only appeared this year. He was even able to get an interview with 3 Black hearts for it. Ace refused to be part of it and he is still trying to find Black Priest to see if wants to do it but nobody close to the band has any idea of where he has been for the last 30 years. Hopefully it will be out soon.
Blasphemy are grand. Good for the odd spin here and there but a bit too one dimensional to hold my attention. I'll give the documentary a watch but those interviews ranged from ok to completely incoherent so who knows...
Nice one on the Autopsy one. Never saw that. Cunty editing and the picture is currently upside down but I'll persevere for a bit longer.

Decent for what they are and definitely ahead of their time in terms of brutality when FAOD came out but I don't understand the obsession some people have with them.
I met Black Winds in 2010 and he came across as a bit standoffish while Caller of the storms couldn't have been nicer. Black Winds seemed very funny and almost like the type of fella you would get a good laugh out of if you went for a pint with him in those recent interviews so maybe I caught him on a bad day. He said he doesn't even own a laptop :laugh: and according to Jessie he parties every night of the week / goes to every gig he can like he is still in his 20's.

One of the best. And always worth a rewatch.

Probably already mentioned, Murder in the Front Row.
https://youtu.be/w0QvSqKdpYQ?si=k4BzgdfyCINwQYlu
Halfway through the Exhumed one - great stuff.
As for Murder in the Front Row, that one must rank as a huge disappointment for me. Not a nugget of information in it that any self respecting fan wouldn't have known already.

that's ace too. I watched the making of Eviseration plague the other night which is also class. They really do care about what they do. I didn't know that they had been recording without a click track up until that album which is mad. Drummer knocking out tracks on the first go and all
Watched this short one on Dismember last night. A fun watch, amusing in parts due to their sense of humour while touring.
The Lollapalooza one is up now.Its not bad going from the first episode, but fucking hell Farrell is such a dose.
Is it vintage Farrell or Ken doll Farrell? I find his rubber face hard to look at, but he was always full of shit TBH.

Fair bit of the vintage stuff too. And good quality as MTV had great footage
I might have a look, I see it up on Paramount+. 3 episodes so not much of a commitment.

In fairness to Paramount+ they didn't censor anything in the Lollapalooza documentary. I found that out the hard way when I was watching one of the episodes on the train, and they showed multiple shots of Rage Against The Machine's naked protest! They didn't pixelate the flutes, so that bodes well for the documentary if you're hoping to see uncensored shots of glam rocker's cocks.

I was thinking more of the fact that most of these "Uncensored" docs are generally gone through with a fine tooth comb to pick out any troublesome nits...

I've read Nothin' But a Good Time. It's a good read, but it depends what you're looking for. It came out in the middle of the #MeToo era so if you're looking for stories of wild debauchery they just aren't in there. Like, at all. Everybody is very clearly self-aware and on their best behaviour on that front. Given that's what you associate that era with, that was a disappointment.
What it does have is tons of really interesting stories about what it was like being in a band in those days, what the scene was like, how hard they worked to promote themselves, how they worked with MTV and labels, how they made music videos, coped with celebrity, how important it was to be a great musician etc.
EDIT: Should prob be in the books thread, but if it's debauchery you're after then check out Please Kill Me, plus of course, The Dirt.
I remember my mother trying to impress a posh guest by arranging a selection of books on the coffee table. One of the books on top was my copy of The Dirt. :laugh:

Nothin' But A Good Time is up. Good watch, but kinda disjointed with the timelines. Definitely lifted a few ideas from Mike Judge's "Tales From The Tour Bus"
Went to see Becoming Led Zeppelin tonight. I'd give the content 5 stars but the actual film-making of the documentary maybe 3. In particular there's lengthy previously unreleased audio interviews with Bonham which are great, plus plenty of unseen footage, including performances allowed run for longer than you'd expect in a documentary. But the doc in and of itself is a very linear traditional affair, and also completely and utterly sanitized. Although, as the title indicates, it does only cover the beginnings (up to 1970 Royal Albert Hall gig) rather than the utter mayhem years of the band.

Watched the first two episodes of Nothing But a Good Time last night. It's fairly enjoyable so far. It's not super in-depth or anything, just a breezy, fun look back at the era with some general history and fun stories. More uncensored than the book was, though nothing extreme. The first two episodes are a run through the history of the scene, ep3 looks like the Nirvana meteor episode and how everyone tried to cope after, so should be really interesting.

Narration a bit cringe in places, but a cool collection of footage and photos. Nice one.
Just watched the Lollapalooza doc. I was enjoying it right up until about the last 20mins.
The whole doc constantly touches on the festival's internal struggle to stay true to its alternative roots and not sell out, and the criticisms they get for going in either direction, or the results of going either way. This is one of the most interesting parts of the doc.
At the end though it then just casually and quietly jettisons that whole argument and skips over the fact that Lollapalooza these days has sold every inch of its soul and become a completely vacuous, mainstream, identikit festival. Even worse the whole end becomes this complete circle jerk about how great it is now and how culturally relevant it still is, whenever it couldn't be further from what made it important in the first place. It's a weird, jarring disconnect. They even try to sell it like it's the stage where they showcase the most important and subversive acts and it's fucking Miley Cyrus.
That aside though, it was an enjoyable enough recap up until that part. The footage from the first one in 1991 particularly is great. As is the Jane's Addiction early footage in general.

Never got the fuss over Refused. I remember them being fawned over in the music press, so I was expecting something revelatory when I finally heard their music and it was just grand.
The Shape Of Punk To Come was a mighty (if preposterously titled) album but I couldn't get into any of their other stuff. I'll give that a look - I've always had the impression that their heads were up their arses so the pretension should come as no surprise.
I loved The Shape... when it came out and saw them in Dublin in 98. Savage gig. I never really bothered with anything else by then but that album is the business. I might throw an eyeball over that documentary.
I remember all the hype around Refused, but it was only a few years ago I gave them a listen. The Shape is a decent enough album, and I'd say it was pretty revelatory back then, but I guess by the time I got to it there was already so many more bands doing that style it didn't have the same impact
There was a bit of that album in most genres of metal/alt/hardcore since it came out whether directly or indirectly.
And so much shite covers of New Noise.
International Noise Conspiracy are a great band formed after Refused. Im more likely to listen to their CDs over the few Refused CDs i own these days.

I watched some of it there. Fair play. Not exactly my cup of tea musically and it seems aimed at people who are already into the band but it looks daycent.
Watched the Refused one there, not much to it. I'd have been well pissed off if I'd bought the DVD. Fairly shite the way they went out and they're well up themselves alright, but the live stuff's decent.
Watched the Worn Out one earlier, enjoyed it. Some serious tunes, I'll have to check them out properly.
