Just remembered this one. Not a metal band, but unreal documentary.

Australian rough as fuck punk band, it's on Spinal Tap level for hilarity.

Stand out moments include one of the members explaining they were planning on touring Europe but couldn't get one lad to go "because he thought it was gay"....

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:

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 :

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 (

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):

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.
