I have the DVD which I watch pretty often because their live performances are so good and also to watch Keith Moon do all his crazy stuff. And here's a short scene from the movie (except the movie doesn't have the narration) in which Keith Moon blows up his drums https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swKU_ZHWOoE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassDaddy Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 (edited) I could watch Carol Kaye play the bass on Good Vibrations for an hour or so. There was a show on PBS called (maybe) Sidemen hosted by Earl Slick(D Bowie) a few months ago Muscle Shoals (One of my favs) Tom Dowd The Language of Music It Might Get Loud, Page The Edge and Jack White Produced By George Martin. Not just Beatles stuff. He did a bit of mixing while him and Brian Wilson listed toGod Only Knows or Good Vibrations. Brian said he liked it better. There was an 8 part series on PBS called Soundbreaking. So good! Edited February 20, 2019 by BassDaddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigb Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Yep. I mentioned that one earlier. I wasn't in a "real" band for all that long (late 70's into the early 80's when I broke my arm and had to stop playing for years). But, in that short time we went through drummers just like the movie. One was hit by a car after a gig and, while lying on the road, was run over by a second car that decapitated him. Then we had one who went the same way as Bonham. The third committed suicide after his girlfriend left him during a keg party gig (sleeping pills and booze) and the fourth I didn't hear about until I went back for my highschool's 10th anniversary party. No idea what happened to him! No spontaneous combustions though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.L.I.P. Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 A Band Called Death. The documentary is about the 1970s rock band Death and their new-found popularity decades after the group recorded their music. In their teenage years, the three brothers emerge as, first, a budding rock/funk band, heavily influenced by Motown & Parliament, ultimately evolving into pioneers of punk music.

craigb Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 This is actually a link to a long playlist. All of Rick Beato's "What Makes This Song Great?" videos are awesome.

Bob Oister Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Hi, Kenny & Everybody in The Good Old Coffee House Crew!? I'm looking forward to checking out Hired Gun, thanks for the recommendation!? Here's a bunch from Netflix that piqued my interest, I've only seen a few of them so far, but the descriptions looked interesting! As mentioned above, The History of the Eagles was fantastic, as well as the Tom Petty - Damn the Torpedoes at the bottom of this list. I've seen many really good ones were already removed from Netflix. Muscle Shoals about the famous studio, and "Artifact", about the current state of the big label music industry were both really good, and as Paulo mentioned above, Eagle Rock Entertainment's Classic Album Series is fantastic, and I think some of them are available to watch for free on Vudu. I'm still bumming that I missed Sound City before Netflix removed it! Here goes: Currently Available on Netflix (at least in my geographic location): Jimi Hendrix - Voodoo Child Rush - Beyond the Lighted Stage Foo Fighters - Back & Forth How the Beatles Changed the World The Doors - When You're Strange Metallica - Some Kind of Monster Now More Than Ever - The History of Chicago Rolling Stones - Crossfire Hurricane Bowie - The Man Who Changed the World George Harrison - Living in the Material World Joe Cocker- Mad Dog With Soul John Mellencamp - Plain Spoken Keith Richards - Under the Influence We Are Twisted F---ing Sister Oasis - Supersonic Springsteen And I Danny Says The Other One (Bob Weir/Grateful Dead) Kurt and Courtney Anvil -The Story of Anvil 27 Gone Too Soon SHOT Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Runnin' Down a Dream - Was on Netflix, but now on Youtube: Have a good one guys!

James G Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Great list Bob, the Rush doc is excellent, as is the Tom Petty one. Tried to find a link to Tom Waits - Songs From a Cracked Jukebox, but no luck, it's really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resonant Serpent Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 The last documentary I watched was The Godfathers of Hardcore about Agnostic Front. There's no free copy that I could find, but watched it on Showtime. Great film about those of us in the more extreme scenes, and what it means to get older doing what you love. https://www.sho.com/titles/3462368/agnostic-front-the-godfathers-of-hardcore Until the Light Takes Us is one of the best documentaries on black metal, and shows how people outside the scene ride the coat tails to exploit without understanding anything about it. Beautiful film in many places. Sam Dunn has a degree in anthropology, and loves heavy metal. He made a documentary about the lineage, influences, and the current state of the scene: Sam Dunn then did a tv show with each episode dedicated to specific branch of heavy metal. Here's the one for extreme metal: Heavy Metal in Baghdad is the story of guys working on their band in the middle of a war: Released in three parts, One Man Metal focuses on three bands: Xasthur, Leviathan, and Striborg, where one person plays all the instruments in their projects. For all three, it was the first time the public actually had the chance to see what they looked like. One of my favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMcNamara Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 20 Feet From Stardom is a fantastic document about background singers, and I believe it won the Oscar award for documentary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
