Roger Waters still coming across as a complete bell end. He is, by all accounts, a massive p***k. I watched a Joy Division documentary a few years ago that was pretty good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyAnchor Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 This isn't a documentary as such but got me back searching for a lot of old faves. The narrator has a cute Asian voice and it can be tough to understand some words but she makes up for it with a cute face. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcat(The most tip top) Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 “Some kind of monster” the “Metallica in group therapy, rehab and making a shit Album” documentary is up there with “Bros: when the screaming stops” Whether you like the music is practically irrelevant 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Apple TV (you can probably find a free trial somewhere) 6 part doc where Mark Ronson looks at various innovations in music. Sampling, drum machines, reverb etc. It’s really creatively styled/directed. There are some great moments in it, such as recording in these colossal underground WW2 underground diesel reservoirs in the Highlands (they have a 2 minute echo). Some funny moments from Dave Grohl and the surviving Beastie Boys and some geeky but touching stuff with Ronson and Gary Numan and Duran Duran. Ronson is so knowledgeable and steeped in music from toddler age that he makes for a really good presenter of such a show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Girth Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 The Lordi one is quite interesting (in a sort of Alan Partridge way) but then you realise all their albums are just a rip off of what is trending and you end up wanting them to lose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 (edited) Been ages since I had a look at this thread so this may have been mentioned already but the Todd Haynes Velvet Underground documentary that went up on Apple TV is good.

The best one is about auto tune, because it’s absolutely not what you’d expect. Paul McCartney saying he basically uses it for every album was barely touched on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His lack of charisma actually helps, it feels like a proper documentary rather than a celebrity vehIcle. it’s the opposite of Stanley Tucci’s series on Italian food Edited February 20, 2023 by topcat(The most tip top) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie McSquackle Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 BBC's documentary on the Hacienda tonight was fantastic from a music history point of view but skipped a lot of the financial problems. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I enjoyed it. They also glossed over a lot of the drug gang related violence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely outstanding film about the 1969 Harlem Cultural Festival. Totally recommended. Will definitely go and see it again when it gets a general release. The musical performances from the likes of Stevie Wonder, The Fifth Dimension, The Staples Singers, David Ruffin, Sly and The Family Stone and Nina Simone amongst many others are utterly exceptional. http:// Better late than never , perhaps ?! What was the audience for the showing ? I went to see the Ginger Baker and Big Star films at the Film House and there were not many there 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
