Dave Grohl's Sound City Documentary

On a side note I read a tweet from Dave grohl today that said "if you listen to a nickleback song backwards, you will hear messages from the devil. Even worse, if you listen to it forwards, you hear nickleback." :lol:

That's rich coming from a guy who's music is every bit as cookie-cutter as Nickelback's and who's voice is as one-dimensional as Chad Kroeger's. I wonder what their private beef is or if he was just going for a cheap laugh riding the hipster-Nickelback-hatewave.
 
What a cunt.
Nickelback is hundred times better than anything Grohl have ever done.

I don't like nickelback,I just hate this prick that much..
 
A great watch and quite enjoyable/ nostalgic the first time. But I watched it again the other day with a mate and I picked on it a lot more in the sense where I just went, 'Oh come on.. it's NOT that apparent that the gear is why people don't write music like they used to etc...'. It did feel a bit, 'I'm old... I don't get why you kids do it this way, that's not real music'. Which is silly to make that point when you're still one of the highest grossing rock bands around don't ya think? But in any regard, it was a great watch and overall I loved it. All that history and nostalgia, sometimes you just gotta roll with it! And hell.. dat desk :\
 
Bought and watched it yesterday. Loved every second of it. The story of Sound City was interesting. The sessions in Studio 606 were just amazing. Seeing all those amazing musicians together. And my god, Stevie Nicks, what a voice, still amazing! Heared plenty of Fleetwood Mac in the past, but seeing someone like her singing, WOW, just WOW! Fuck autotune.
 
I liked the movie, but am I the only one who finds Dave Grohl to appear extremely unauthentic and weird a lot of the time? I can't exactly put my finger on it, but most of the time he seems to have this fake smile on his face as if he's only pretending to like everything that's happening.

The one thing that I'm taking from this movie though is to finally get around to making an EP where I limit myself to 16 tracks and certain instruments. I've wanted to do that for a long time, but something always came up. This movie reminded me of it again.

Maybe I'm missing something but isn't your whole approach built on calculated insincerity? :lol:
 
Really enjoyed it. Not sure who I liked better: Josh Homme & Trent Reznor, Paul McCartney with Nirvana, or Rick Fucking Springfield! That was quite a surprise... :)
 
I really enjoyed it... I love the behind the scenes videos of bands in studios and the story of Sound City at the start was awesome... kinda wish there was more footage and interviews with the bands that have been through there, but then I guess they wouldn't have had the money to secure that...
 
Yeah I missed recording on DAT tape more after watching this, although its still not analogue, its closer to it than Pro-Tools and I miss the whole process, getting the takes right, using a nice analogue desk, the emphasis on getting takes right, no dropping in...
